Score
Original Rainbow Cone has been inspected 11 times since 2010. The most recent report on file is from Oct 15, 2018. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Note that Original Rainbow Cone's inspection history hasn't been updated since Oct 15, 2018; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Insects, rodents, & animals not present” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing four times across the record.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
