High Risk

Inspectors have visited R. Mccarty Enterprises, Inc. — Home of the Hoagy 25 times, with records going back to 2010. On Mar 23, 2015, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. Public records show no inspections at R. Mccarty Enterprises, Inc. — Home of the Hoagy since Mar 23, 2015, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to 11 violations.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, which has been cited 21 times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
