Score
The health department has logged five inspections at Tasty Sub & Beef, the earliest from 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 18, 2011. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. Note that Tasty Sub & Beef's inspection history hasn't been updated since Apr 18, 2011; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near seven violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited five 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.
