Inspectors have visited Mc Donald's 12 times, with records going back to 2010. On May 16, 2016, 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 May 16, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near three violations each time.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited seven times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
