Low Risk

The health department has logged 22 inspections at Mcdonald's, the earliest from 2010. Mcdonald's was last inspected on Apr 13, 2021. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. The file hasn't been updated since Apr 13, 2021, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around three violations per visit lately, up from roughly one violation before.

“Food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing nine times across the record.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
