Emergency Orders
43 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! BRICK ALLEY TAVERN in Lake Worth Beach, BRASS MONKEY SPORTS BAR AND GRILL in Lake Worth Beach and FLAME BBQ & SOULFOOD in Mangonia Park drew the loudest scorecard in Palm Beach County. 43 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window — DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. These are the most actionable signals: faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, faster than corporate dissolution. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss

Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! GRILLE ON CONGRESS (THE) in Boca Raton, LA HACIENDA BAR AND RESTAURANT in Loxahatchee and CHINA CAFE RESTAURANT INC in West Palm Beach led the board in Palm Beach County. 124 high-priority citations posted in the 30-day window — none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure (those are in Red Alert). They are the near-miss watch list: restaurants that drew inspector attention but stayed open. Any of them could receive a follow-up inspection. The recurring violation labels were HP and INT. THE MADNESS.

Closures
45 records this window
The closed-door file: confirmed shutdowns, owner-validated closure posts, DBPR status signals, and external places data that say service has stopped.
SNAP INTO IT! CANNOLI KITCHEN PIZZA in Boca Raton, CITY CELLAR WINE BAR & GRILL in West Palm Beach and LPP CAFE BOCA in Boca Raton drew the loudest scorecard in Palm Beach County. 45 restaurants carry one or more defunct-indicator signals (silent inspector, license inactive, corp dissolved, or third-party verifier confirmation) in the 90-day public window. Across the closure-signal cohort: 4 fast-food spots, 3 hotels, 3 sandwiches, and 2 pizza spots. 35 standalone restaurants and 10 chain locations. Trend line: closure-signals volume is steady against the last public cut. These are signals, not all confirmed permanent closures — Closure Score 4/4 = third-party verified; lower scores = likely / probable / DBPR-flagged-inactive. OOOOH YEAH.
