Score
Flight Club appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2018. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 3, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around five violations each, up from closer to one violation before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
