Score
Low Risk

Going back to 2011, Subway has 23 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 5, 2022. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. No fresh inspection data is available: the latest entry for Subway dates to Jul 5, 2022.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around one violation to closer to five violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “insects, rodents, & animals not present”, which has been cited eight times.

Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Subway is comfortably above that bar. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
