Score

Low Risk

Roly Poly appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2012. The newest entry in the record is dated May 1, 2014. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. The file hasn't been updated since May 1, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around four violations per visit lately, up from roughly two violations before.

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

Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
