What’s powering this page
InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When imported inspector observations are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •Imported DBPR observations appear directly inside inspection entries when available.
- •When note coverage is missing, the official violation record still stays visible.

*Scores are calculated by InspectFL based on public DBPR inspection data and are not official state ratings.
Inspection History
Read the newest inspection first, then scan for patterns. Repeated high-priority findings matter more than one isolated bad day.
Inspector notes are being added across all restaurants. Some inspections may only show violation codes until notes are available.
- Inspection Completed - No Further Action
- [10-17-4] In-use knife/knives stored in cracks between pieces of equipment: two knives on cook line with blades between the microwave and the shelf it sits on. Employee removed the knives and took them to the dish area for cleaning.
- [31B-02-4] No paper towels or mechanical hand drying device provided at handwash sink: hand-wash sink next to beverage machine did not have any paper towels. Employee got some during the inspection.
- [14-11-5] Equipment in poor repair: observed the walk-in freezer door seal is broken and hanging loose not allowing for a good seal on the freezer. However, the food was still frozen to the touch. Potentially the cause of the ice buildup on the right fan.
