Score
Scofflaw has been inspected 19 times since 2010. The most recent visit was on Dec 19, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around one violation across recent inspections versus roughly six violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “variance obtained for specialized processing methods” has been the most frequent reason, cited nine times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
