Score
Dunkin Donuts has been inspected seven times since 2017. The most recent visit was on Dec 23, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable”, which has been cited three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
