Mcdonald's Restaurant appears in inspection records 35 times, starting in 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 9, 2025. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around two violations compared to roughly six violations earlier on.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “proper cooling methods used”, showing up 12 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
