Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Tricycle Supper Club 16 times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Jun 9, 2022. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 9, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around five violations, down from roughly 11 violations earlier in the record.

Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 12 times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
