Freddy's Crab House-Fresh Seafood has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Freddy's Crab House-Fresh Seafood was last inspected on Dec 30, 2019. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 30, 2019, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Violation counts have ticked up lately, averaging around 18 violations per visit versus roughly three violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “adequate handwashing sinks properly supplied and accessible”, showing up two times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
