Score
The Good Life Soul Food Restaurant appears in inspection records 16 times, starting in 2017. On Dec 7, 2022, 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. Note that The Good Life Soul Food Restaurant's inspection history hasn't been updated since Dec 7, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around 10 violations lately compared to roughly seven violations before.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 21 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
