90
Score
Going back to 2010, Subway has 40 inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 20, 2026. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly seven violations earlier in the record.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up 23 times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
