Score
The health department has logged 14 inspections at Tasty Beef & Sub,Inc., the earliest from 2012. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 30, 2015. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. The file hasn't been updated since Jul 30, 2015, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged eight times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
