Score
The health department has logged 23 inspections at Subway, the earliest from 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 15, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near two violations each time.
Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
