Score
Inspectors have visited Jason's Deli 15 times, with records going back to 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 29, 2020. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Jason's Deli since Jan 29, 2020, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
