American
Last inspected: Aug 19, 2011
70
Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 19, 2011. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. Public records show no inspections at Hamburger King since Aug 19, 2011, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around seven violations per visit lately, up from roughly four violations before.

Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
