Score
Subway has been inspected nine times since 2010. The most recent visit was on Jul 6, 2015. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Subway's record stops at Jul 6, 2015, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean”, showing up four times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
