Last inspected: Dec 9, 2025
70
Score
Across the available record, Subway has 25 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. On Dec 9, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.
Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded nine times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
