Score
Across the available record, Mike's Place has 16 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The most recent report on file is from Dec 19, 2017. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 19, 2017, so take the current picture with that in mind.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near eight violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the recurring theme, flagged 16 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
