Score
Subway appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2011. The most recent report on file is from Feb 5, 2016. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Subway since Feb 5, 2016, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “potentially hazardous food meets temperature requirement”, which has been cited two times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Subway is doing better than most peers. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
