Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at Mcdonalds, the earliest from 2011. On Aug 6, 2014, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Public records show no inspections at Mcdonalds since Aug 6, 2014, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around two violations each.
The pattern that stands out is “facilities to maintain proper temperature”, which has been cited two times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Mcdonalds on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
