Question 1

Did Potbelly Sandwich Works pass its last health inspection?

Accepted Answer

Potbelly Sandwich Works at 225 W Randolph St was inspected on Dec 28, 2023 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "Out of Business". Across 18 inspections on record it has failed 1 time.

Question 2

What does "Risk 1 (High)" mean?

Accepted Answer

Chicago assigns every food establishment a risk category based on how much food handling it does. Risk 1 (High) covers full-service restaurants and is inspected most often; Risk 2 (Medium) and Risk 3 (Low) — such as places serving only pre-packaged food — are inspected less frequently.

Question 3

Where does this inspection data come from?

Accepted Answer

The City of Chicago publishes every food-establishment inspection it performs, including the result and the full text of any violations cited. This page reads that dataset directly and updates as the city posts new inspections.
