Score
Inspectors have visited Gfc five times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Nov 5, 2012. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Public records show no inspections at Gfc since Nov 5, 2012, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around four violations compared to roughly 10 violations earlier on.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited four times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
