Score
Public records show four inspections at Mcdonald' S stretching back to 2024. The most recent report on file is from May 7, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around two violations, down from roughly seven violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood-contact surfaces clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
Among Decatur restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
