Low Risk

Across the available record, Mc Donalds has 24 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. On Dec 31, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to three violations.

Across the inspection history, “personal cleanliness” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded seven times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
