Low Risk

The Marvel has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The most recent report on file is from Nov 10, 2022. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Note that The Marvel's inspection history hasn't been updated since Nov 10, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around five violations lately and about seven violations before that.

When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
