Score
Across the available record, Jerk Palace Hub has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2018. On Jun 28, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. Jerk Palace Hub's record stops at Jun 28, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Jerk Palace Hub on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
