Subway has been inspected 15 times since 2010. Subway was last inspected on Jun 11, 2018. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Subway's record stops at Jun 11, 2018, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around one violation across recent inspections versus roughly four violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “premises maintained free of litter”, showing up five times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
