Score
Inspectors have visited Red Lobster #0277 21 times, with records going back to 2014. The most recent visit was on Dec 4, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 12 times across the record.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
