Score
Across the available record, Dunkin Donuts has 20 inspections on file, the first dated 2015. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 30, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to eight violations.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up nine times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Dunkin Donuts trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
