How it’s ranked

Year opened at this address, from verified histories where we have them; otherwise the earliest City of Chicago license or inspection here. Records give only a year, not a date, so places from the same year are listed A to Z.

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.
