Score
New Wayne's Barbecue & Cajun appears in inspection records 30 times, starting in 2010. The most recent report on file is from Jul 17, 2023. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Public records show no inspections at New Wayne's Barbecue & Cajun since Jul 17, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up 13 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so New Wayne's Barbecue & Cajun trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
