7 Florida Restaurants With a Next-Day Clean Callback — and Rough Overall Grades
InspectFL reviewed Florida DBPR records to find seven restaurants with emergency-related inspections, 5+ high-priority findings, and a zero-finding complied callback within one day. Most still have C or F overall grades.
Most inspection stories are slow-moving. A restaurant gets hit with a bad visit, comes back for another inspection later, and the full pattern only gets clearer over time.
These seven cases are different, but only in a narrow way.
In each one, Florida DBPR recorded a severe inspection event tied to emergency-level action, then came back within one day and logged a complied callback with zero findings. That kind of turnaround is worth noticing. But it should be read as a timeline story, not a blanket endorsement. A clean callback shows what inspectors recorded on that follow-up visit. It does not erase how serious the earlier inspection was, and it does not mean the restaurant has a strong overall InspectFL grade.
If you are new to how we frame these records, start with our guides to how to read Florida restaurant inspection results, what an emergency order means in Florida restaurant inspections, and what happens when a Florida restaurant fails inspection.
This is a callback story, not a "clean restaurants" list.
Every example below pairs a severe dated inspection event with a next-day callback that recorded zero findings. The follow-up matters. The earlier inspection still matters too.
Current-grade context: after InspectFL's June 10, 2026 score recompute, three of these restaurants had F grades, three had C grades, and only one had a B grade. A zero-finding callback is one data point inside a broader inspection history.
How we built this list
InspectFL reviewed Florida DBPR records using five filters:
- the first inspection had to be an emergency-related bad inspection
- that inspection had to include at least 5 high-priority findings
- the next inspection had to happen within 1 day
- the callback disposition had to be
Call Back - CompliedorEmergency Order Callback Complied - the callback had to show 0 findings
We manually checked each featured row against the current DBPR inspection export and its live InspectFL restaurant page before locking the list. Current InspectFL grades were not part of the selection filter, but they matter for interpretation. As of the June 10, 2026 score recompute, most of the featured restaurants still had weak or failing overall grades.

The 7 rebound cases
Why these seven stand out
1) LOS CATRACHOS II — Green Acres, Palm Beach County
LOS CATRACHOS II leads the list because the first inspection was the harshest verified zero-callback case we found. On February 17, 2026, DBPR recorded 15 high-priority findings and 18 total findings with the disposition Emergency order recommended. By February 18, 2026, the callback had shifted to Emergency Order Callback Complied with 0 findings.
That is the exact pattern that defines this story: serious trouble first, then a documented clean callback the very next day. For broader local context, see Palm Beach County restaurant inspections.
The broader grade context is much less flattering: after the June 10, 2026 recompute, LOS CATRACHOS II still held an F grade on InspectFL.
2) RAMEN HANA AND SUSHI — Stuart, Martin County
RAMEN HANA AND SUSHI adds a strong Treasure Coast example without losing severity. Its bad inspection landed on February 23, 2026, when DBPR recorded 9 high-priority findings and 14 total findings with Emergency order recommended. On February 24, 2026, the callback disposition changed to Call Back - Complied, and the follow-up inspection showed 0 findings.
That next-day clean callback is what puts it near the top of the group even though the total finding count was lower than some other entries. For more local context, see Martin County restaurant inspections, the broader Martin County page, or the live Stuart city view.
The current overall score is still not an A-grade record: RAMEN HANA AND SUSHI held a C grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
3) TASTY K-POT — Merritt Island, Brevard County
TASTY K-POT gives the list a Space Coast example with a clean one-day sequence. On April 15, 2026, inspectors recorded 7 high-priority findings and 16 total findings with Emergency order recommended. The next day, April 16, 2026, DBPR listed an Emergency Order Callback Complied follow-up with 0 findings.
The case stands out because it clears the severity threshold and keeps the rebound clean: the next recorded callback in the sequence had no findings.
The full scored record is still mixed. TASTY K-POT held a C grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
4) HUNAN WOK — Jacksonville, Duval County
HUNAN WOK gives the list a strong Jacksonville anchor instead of a filler north-Florida example. On March 9, 2026, inspectors recorded 6 high-priority findings and 23 total findings with Emergency order recommended. The next day, March 10, 2026, the callback came back Emergency Order Callback Complied with 0 findings.
That keeps the statewide spread intact while still meeting the same severity threshold as the rest of the list. For broader North Florida context, compare it with the live Jacksonville page, the Duval County page, or our Jacksonville restaurant inspections roundup.
The overall grade context is the warning label here: HUNAN WOK still held an F grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
5) ZEN NOODLES BAR — Gainesville, Alachua County
ZEN NOODLES BAR broadens the map into north-central Florida without softening the premise. Its bad inspection took place on May 21, 2026, with 6 high-priority findings and 20 total findings recorded under Emergency order recommended. On May 22, 2026, inspectors logged an Emergency Order Callback Complied follow-up with 0 findings.
This one sits in the middle of the set on raw severity, but it still clears the threshold that defined this roundup. For more context around the local inspection landscape, browse Gainesville restaurant inspections or the wider Alachua County page.
That does not make the broader record clean. ZEN NOODLES BAR held a C grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
6) CATRINA COCINA MEXICANA — Ocala, Marion County
CATRINA COCINA MEXICANA had one of the higher total-finding counts in the verified group. On February 17, 2026, DBPR recorded 5 high-priority findings and 21 total findings with Emergency order recommended. On February 18, 2026, the callback came back Emergency Order Callback Complied with 0 findings.
That makes it a useful reminder that the rebound pattern is not just about one number. The initial inspection had enough total findings to deserve attention, and the next-day callback still came back clean.
It is also the clearest example of why this article needs context: CATRINA COCINA MEXICANA still held an F grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
7) FISHERMAN’S CORNER RESTAURANT — Pensacola, Escambia County
FISHERMAN’S CORNER RESTAURANT closes the list by carrying the story all the way into the Panhandle. On April 14, 2026, inspectors recorded 5 high-priority findings and 8 total findings with Emergency order recommended. The callback on April 15, 2026 was marked Call Back - Complied and showed 0 findings.
It is the lightest case in the featured set by total findings, but it still fits the same core pattern: a severe inspection event followed by a clean callback the next day. To zoom out from this single case, compare it with the live Pensacola page and the broader Escambia County page.
FISHERMAN’S CORNER was the strongest current-grade case in this group, with a B grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.
What a next-day clean callback does — and does not — mean
A clean callback means inspectors returned and recorded zero findings on that follow-up visit.
It does not mean the earlier inspection no longer matters. It also does not automatically mean a restaurant has a perfect long-term record. The better way to read cases like these is to follow the full timeline: what inspectors found on the bad inspection, how serious those findings were, how quickly the operator corrected them, and what happened on the callback.
That distinction matters in this set. The callback rows were clean, but the current overall grades were not: three F grades, three C grades, and one B grade after the June 10, 2026 recompute.

The bigger takeaway
Florida restaurant inspection stories are not always one-directional. Sometimes the same public record that shows a severe inspection event also shows immediate corrective action. But a next-day clean callback is not the same thing as a clean overall grade. The full sequence is worth reading precisely because both facts can be true at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a next-day inspection rebound in this article?
For this roundup, the restaurant had to have an emergency-related inspection with at least 5 high-priority findings, followed by a complied callback within 1 day that recorded 0 findings.
Does a clean callback mean the earlier inspection no longer matters?
No. A clean callback shows what inspectors recorded on that follow-up visit. The earlier inspection remains part of the public record and still matters for context.
Do these restaurants have good overall InspectFL grades?
Mostly no. After InspectFL’s June 10, 2026 score recompute, three of the seven had F grades, three had C grades, and one had a B grade. This article is about a one-day callback pattern, not a clean overall record.

Not necessarily. This article tracks severe inspection events followed by fast corrective action, not permanent closure status.
Where does this data come from?
All inspection data in this article comes from Florida DBPR public records and the linked restaurant pages on InspectFL.
Are InspectFL scores official DBPR ratings?
No. InspectFL Health Scores are our own 0-100 calculations based on public inspection data. They are not official DBPR ratings.
