Inspection records are published by the Chicago Department of Public Health. A failed inspection does not necessarily mean an establishment closed — most are re-inspected after correcting violations.

Windy City Cafe — questions

Did Windy City Cafe pass its last health inspection?
Windy City Cafe at 1060-1062 W Chicago Ave was inspected on May 7, 2026 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "Out of Business". Across 25 inspections on record it has failed 8 times.
What does "Risk 1 (High)" mean?
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.
Where does this inspection data come from?
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.
