How it’s ranked

Michelin Guide Chicago 2025 stars and Bib Gourmands, and James Beard Foundation winners, finalists and America's Classics, checked by hand.

Our 0–100 score and A–F grade, calculated from City of Chicago inspection records since January 2023. Not official City grades: the City reports Pass, Pass w/ Conditions or Fail. An inspection describes conditions on the day of the visit.

City records through . About once a week we rebuild the data from the City’s newest public records, and these pages with it. Source: City of Chicago Food Inspections on the Chicago Data Portal. Each place’s page in the web version links to its own City inspection records.
