Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Jul 11, 2023. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Fork Fantasy's record stops at Jul 11, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around two violations lately and about eight violations before that.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The record reflects steady performance over time.
