Score
Public records show four inspections at Grill Zone stretching back to 2010. On Jan 5, 2011, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The file hasn't been updated since Jan 5, 2011, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around zero violations, down from roughly four violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “toilet room doors self closing”, which has been cited three times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Grill Zone on the better side of that line. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
