Score
Low Risk

Fat's Dawg & Burger appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2011. On Aug 7, 2012, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Aug 7, 2012, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly four violations earlier in the record.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, showing up two 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.
