Score
The health department has logged 27 inspections at Hienie's, the earliest from 2010. On Jun 26, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around six violations, down from roughly 10 violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up 17 times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
