Score
Green Bean appears in inspection records six times, starting in 2015. On Sep 26, 2016, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Note that Green Bean's inspection history hasn't been updated since Sep 26, 2016; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to five violations per visit.
“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing four times across the record.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Green Bean on the better side of that line. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
