Low Risk

Public records show four inspections at Fairways stretching back to 2013. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 29, 2015. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 29, 2015, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around four violations each, up from closer to two violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited two times.

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
