What’s powering this page
InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When exact inspector notes are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •This page still shows the official DBPR violation record, even when inspector note text is not available yet.
- •The official DBPR inspection timeline still stays visible, even on pages with zero violations or zero inspector notes.

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.
- Disposition: Warning Issued
- Stop Sale orders issued on food found unsafe to serve — temperature abuse, unsound condition, dented cans, expired ready-to-eat food, and shellfish tagging issues.
- TCS food held above 41°F when cold-held, below 135°F when hot-held, or not cooled within required timeframes. The most-cited High Priority category in our current scraped dataset.

- Employees touching ready-to-eat food with bare hands without an approved alternative procedure or required training documentation.
