|---|---|
| Inspection completed, no further action | 111 |
| Warning issued | 25 |
| Call back: complied | 23 |

Of those, 135 were routine inspections, 16 followed complaints and 15 were licensing inspections for new or changed businesses. The routine inspections found an average of 1.16 high priority violations each, and 63 found none. Across all of Orange County, the average routine inspection in the same file found 0.89 high priority violations.
How to read this. Each inspection is a snapshot. The division says a restaurant may have more or fewer violations on any given day than its latest report shows, and one inspection may not represent long-term conditions. A warning means violations were found that must be fixed by a set date; it is not a closure.
What the results mean
From the division’s definitions:
- Inspection Completed, No Further Action: conditions did not need a follow-up visit. The restaurant is inspected again at its next routine interval.
- Warning: violations must be corrected by a set date. The inspector comes back to check.
- Call Back, Complied: a return visit after a warning found the violations corrected.
- Time extension: granted on a return visit if all high priority violations are fixed and real progress has been made on the rest.
- Administrative complaint recommended: the inspector asked for formal enforcement action.
- Emergency order: a closure for conditions such as no hot water, sewage backups, fire damage, pest infestation or failed refrigeration. The division calls it a protective step, not discipline; the restaurant stays closed until the problem is fixed. None in these two ZIP codes were in the file for this period.
The three kinds of violation
- High priority: could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury.
- Intermediate: could lead to those risks if not addressed.
- Basic: best practices.
Florida follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 2017 Food Code, the division says. Every licensed restaurant gets one to four unannounced inspections a year, depending on the kind of food it serves, how it prepares it and its inspection history, plus extra visits after complaints.
Method

We do not rank or name individual restaurants on this page. To see one restaurant’s full report, use the state’s inspection search. This page is updated as the state posts new data.
What this means for you
- Check a restaurant’s latest report before you book a party there.
- A warning is not a closure; in this period, 23 call-back visits found the violations fixed.
