Score
Public records show 37 inspections at Maggie Gyros & Chicken stretching back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Dec 16, 2024. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to three violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, which has been cited 16 times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Maggie Gyros & Chicken on the weaker side. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
