Score
Public records show 28 inspections at Subway stretching back to 2011. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 8, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Violation counts have held steady across recent visits, averaging around three violations each.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged 10 times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
