Low Risk

Going back to 2010, Kenny's Turkey has three inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 7, 2010. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Kenny's Turkey since Oct 7, 2010, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around three violations compared to roughly five violations earlier on.

Looking across the full record, “food in original container, properly labeled” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
