25 Florida Restaurants With Significant Inspection Findings

This article describes specific historical inspection events documented by Florida DBPR inspectors on the dates listed. Each entry quotes the inspector’s verbatim observation note from the public record. Each inspection event is a permanent fact about that visit — it is not a current judgment about the restaurant. Every card also shows the most-recent inspection date for context.

For the current state of any specific establishment, see the authoritative DBPR record at myfloridalicense.com or the restaurant’s individual InspectFL page.

Reading Inspection Records

A single inspection is a snapshot in time. The DBPR record contains every visit, every observation, and every disposition for a licensed establishment. Many restaurants in this article complied on the very next callback inspection — that’s the system working. Some are still being followed up.

To understand any single restaurant’s full inspection history, search myfloridalicense.com by license number or business name. That is the official, authoritative source.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this data come from?

Every quote in this article is taken directly from a Florida DBPR inspector’s observation notes on a specific dated inspection. The authoritative inspection record for any licensed Florida food service establishment is published at myfloridalicense.com.

Do these conditions still exist at these restaurants?

These are historical inspection events. The conditions described happened on the dates listed and are part of the public DBPR record on those dates. Restaurants improve and decline over time — each card also shows the most-recent inspection date and result for context.

How were these 25 restaurants chosen?

We surfaced one notable inspection per Florida county based on observation-row counts from the public DBPR record. The intent is to show the geographic spread of inspection activity across the state, not to rank restaurants by current condition.

What does the DBPR disposition tell me?

Each inspection ends with a disposition such as “Inspection Completed - No Further Action,” “Warning Issued,” “Administrative complaint recommended,” or “Emergency order recommended.” The disposition tells you what action DBPR took on that visit.

What if a restaurant has improved since the inspection date?

Each card shows the most-recent inspection date and visible observation-row count for context. A restaurant cited for serious findings on one date may have complied on every subsequent visit — that’s how the DBPR callback process works. The historical inspection still happened on the date listed.
