Low Risk

Public records show five inspections at Subway stretching back to 2011. The most recent visit was on Oct 28, 2014. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 28, 2014, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around three violations each.

Looking across the full record, “premises maintained free of litter” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
