Low Risk

Inspectors have visited The 3rd Coast 25 times, with records going back to 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 30, 2026. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around three violations each, up from closer to one violation before.

Across the inspection history, “insects, rodents, & animals not present” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded nine times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so The 3rd Coast is doing better than most peers. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
