Score
Inspectors have visited Subway 10 times, with records going back to 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 16, 2015. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Subway's record stops at Jan 16, 2015, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
