Score
Across the available record, Googoo's Table has 14 inspections on file, the first dated 2015. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 28, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
Googoo's Table's latest score of 64 falls below the Chicago average of 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
