Score
The health department has logged 27 inspections at Subway, the earliest from 2011. The most recent visit was on Jan 6, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.
“Insects, rodents, & animals not present” comes up most often, recorded nine times in the inspection record.
Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Subway is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
