The health department has logged seven inspections at Judy's, the earliest from 2012. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 8, 2016. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Public records show no inspections at Judy's since Apr 8, 2016, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Looking across the full record, “dish washing facilities” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
