Score
Garden Fast Food has been inspected 13 times since 2011. On Mar 9, 2022, 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 Mar 9, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 16 violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, which has been cited 15 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
