78
Score
Across the available record, Subway has 27 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 6, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 6, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around three violations each.
Looking across the full record, “thermometers provided & accurate” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Subway on the weaker side. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
