Score
Medium Risk

The inspection history at Halal Grill is still short, with only two visits logged. On Mar 3, 2016, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. Note that Halal Grill's inspection history hasn't been updated since Mar 3, 2016; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around three violations to closer to six violations per visit.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “premises maintained free of litter”, showing up two times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
