Score
Public records show 25 inspections at Morry's Deli stretching back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated May 5, 2025. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged 18 times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
