Hub's Gyros II
Last inspected: Oct 29, 2025
90
Score
Inspectors have visited Hub's Gyros II 28 times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent report on file is from Oct 29, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “proper cooling methods used” has been the most frequent reason, cited 13 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
