Score
Johnnies Snack Shop appears in inspection records 21 times, starting in 2010. On Apr 17, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 17, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to two violations per visit.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” comes up most often, recorded nine times in the inspection record.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Johnnies Snack Shop is doing better than most peers. The record reflects steady performance over time.
