Inspectors have visited Original Alps 19 times, with records going back to 2012. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 28, 2024. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Original Alps since Mar 28, 2024, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around two violations across recent inspections versus roughly five violations before.
Across the inspection history, “proper cooling methods used” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
