Score
Popeyes Chicken appears in inspection records 11 times, starting in 2011. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 8, 2016. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. Note that Popeyes Chicken's inspection history hasn't been updated since Feb 8, 2016; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 10 times across the record.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Popeyes Chicken trails the local norm. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
