Chicago

Chicago health inspections, explained

How does Chicago grade restaurants?

Chicago does not use letter grades. Every inspection ends in one of three official results: Pass, Pass with Conditions, or Fail. Pass with Conditions means violations were found but corrected on the spot or under a deadline — the restaurant is open, with homework. A Fail means serious violations went uncorrected, and it usually brings a re-inspection within days. Chicago also flags “priority” violations, the ones most likely to actually make someone sick. Cooked reads Pass as clean, Pass with Conditions as mid, and Fail as cooked, and shows the itemized violations behind each result.

How many Chicago restaurants have a clean rating?

Of the 44,478 Chicago restaurants Cooked tracks, 29,682 are currently rated clean, 8,131 are mid, and 6,387 are cooked — about 67% of rated spots come back clean.

Where does this Chicago inspection data come from?

Directly from Chicago Department of Public Health, published as open data through Chicago Data Portal. Cooked refreshes it daily and does not edit, score or rerank the results — the result you see is the one the city issued.

How often are Chicago restaurants inspected?

That varies by risk and by city policy, and a restaurant can be re-inspected sooner after a bad result. The most recent inspection in Cooked's Chicago data is dated July 24, 2026.
