Food on the Run
Last inspected: Jun 6, 2025
70
Score
Going back to 2020, Food on the Run has 16 inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Jun 6, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around two violations to closer to 12 violations.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” comes up most often, recorded 20 times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
