Score
The health department has logged four inspections at Gloria's Cafe, the earliest from 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 27, 2012. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Gloria's Cafe since Aug 27, 2012, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around one violation lately and about six violations before that.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
