Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Feb 6, 2018. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The most recent inspection at Miss B&J Afro Cuisine is from Feb 6, 2018, and nothing newer appears in the public record.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around four violations across recent inspections versus roughly six violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
