Slim's
Last inspected: May 18, 2020
61
Score
Going back to 2010, Slim's has 17 inspections in the public record. On May 18, 2020, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. Slim's's record stops at May 18, 2020, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around nine violations per visit lately, up from roughly five violations before.
Across the inspection history, “management, food employee and conditional employee” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Slim's on the weaker side. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
