2 Central Florida restaurants shut down after failed health inspection
Two Central Florida restaurants received emergency orders to shut down in the week of June 13-19, according to data from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Beef’O’Brady’s at 724 S Patrick Dr. in Satellite Beach in Brevard County, shut down on June 17.
They received 9 total violations during the inspection, two of which were high-priority violations. Those violations included live, flying insects in the kitchen and food prep area as well as rodent activity evidenced by rodent droppings. The droppings were found behind soda boxes, behind the bar, under a keg cooler, under a sink, on a bottom shelf with clean pans, and one in front of the ice bin. The restaurant was shut down on the same day.
Officials revisited the restaurant on June 18 and found 23 violations but only one of them was a high priority. Inspectors noted someone removed or defaced the closure sign on the building. An administrative complaint was filed and a follow-up inspection was required. A revisit on June 18 found six violations with two being high priority. Inspectors, again, found flying insects and rodent droppings.
Officials returned on June 19 and found four violations. None of them were high priority, allowing the restaurant to reopen.
Gold Lion Bar and Deli, at 4580 Coquina Ave. in Titusville in Brevard County, shut down on June 16.
They received 21 violations, four of which were high priority. Those violations included live roaches, rodent activity evidenced by rodent droppings, food not being in a wholesale condition, and raw animal foods not being properly separated from each other.
Inspectors returned on June 17 and found only three violations. None of them were a high priority, allowing the restaurant to reopen.
The Sentinel reached out to the establishments, but did not hear back.
Orange County took the top spot for most warnings and other complaints in Central Florida with 15. Brevard County placed second with nine. Seminole had zero, Lake had two, and Osceola had three complaints. Warnings given with required follow-up inspections could lead to a business being shut down if problems remain.
In surrounding counties, one warning or complaint was filed in Polk, six in Volusia, and none in Sumter.
