Public records show 17 inspections at Mcdonald's stretching back to 2011. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 12, 2024. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
