Mija, escuchame; across Broward County, the failure rate is 73% below the Florida average. But don't let that fool you, bubbeleh, because there are still 40 recent high-priority hits in the county. We have a mix of schmutz including 2 diners, 1 Cafe, 1 Cheese, and 1 Office. Mejor no comas allí.
Emergency Orders
26 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Mira, hijita, LUV'N OVEN ALE HOUSE in Sunrise, STEAK N SHAKE in Sunrise and RUMROASTERS in Davie led the board in Broward County. These people are making a mishegoss of things with 26 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window where DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. Qué barbaridad, mamala. Oy gevalt, qué desastre, because these are the most actionable signals—faster than admin actions, faster than license cancellation, and faster than corporate dissolution. Across the Red Alert cohort, we have 1 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, 1 Pizza, and 1 Tacos with this schmutz. The emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut; I tell you, mija — feh.

Near Miss
40 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Oy, mein kind, mein kind — CATERING in Hollywood, THE CHEESE COURSE in Weston and VIENNA CAFE AND BISTRO in Cooper City led the board in Broward County. Inspectors posted 40 high-priority citations in the 30-day window, but none of these resulted in an emergency-order closure. Vey, they are just on a near-miss watch list because they drew inspector attention for HP and BAS violations but stayed open. Any one of them could get another follow-up inspection for this mishegoss, so mejor no comas allí.

Worst Offenders

Active enforcement targets and repeat offenders: restaurants carrying emergency-order history, chronic 11-year systemic violation patterns, or cross-flag enforcement tiers.
Oy gevalt, qué desastre, mija. Look at this mishegoss in Broward County where 224 historical bad actors surface on the 11-year pattern view, led by LAKAY MAMA RESTAURANT LLC and BLENDED FAMILY FOODS CORP. The full repeat-offender record is right here for you to see, but no tiene vergüenza.

Closures
54 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.
A shanda und a charpa — Pines, Tropical Vibes Caribbean Restaurant LLC in Miramar and MAGIC COW in Davie put the sharpest marks on the list for Broward County. Oy, 54 restaurants carry one or more defunct-indicator signals—silent inspectors, inactive licenses, dissolved corps, or third-party verifiers—in the 90-day public window. Mira, this schmutz includes 3 burgers, 3 lounges, 2 donuts, and 2 ice-cream shops, with 41 standalone restaurants and 13 chain locations showing these signals. Nu? — y por qué no me sorprende that these closure-signals are steady against the last public cut. Vey, remember these are just signals, not all confirmed permanent closures—only a Closure Score 4/4 is third-party verified, while lower scores are just likely, probable, or DBPR-flagged-inactive.

Off the Radar
289 records this window
Merged ghost + distressed licenses: active on paper but no DBPR inspection in 365+ days, or carrying administrative-lapse signals (status 45/46 grace, Sunbiz IFLAL, near-expiry).
Coño, mija, perdóname pero — off-radar licenses popping up in Broward County this cycle. There are 11 DBPR-active licenses where no inspector has bothered to visit in 365+ days, which is a total shanda under Florida statute 61C-1.002. I tell you, mija — feh. Oy gevalt, qué desastre, because there are 116 more with formal DBPR distress signals, like Status 45/46, IFLAL, or an annual inspection gap. Some of these mishegoss overlap, with 11 licenses appearing in both categories, and another 35 licenses were escalated to Closures with stronger confirmation signals. Mejor no comas allí.

New Owners

DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Ay, mein bubbeleh — in Oakland Park, 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach and ISLAND SIGNATURE RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale are the ones making noise in Broward County. Nu? They just had ownership-change filings, which means a new owner-of-record on an existing license. I tell you, mija — feh. Oy gevalt, qué desastre; 30 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. This volume is even with the last public cut, but let me be clear, bubbeleh, these are just operator turnovers. They aren't closures, cancellations, or revocations, but who knows what schmutz they leave behind? Mejor no comas allí.

Mejor no comas allí. Oy, mein kind, 5 restaurants met the sustained-improvement test with at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more, and an active license. KUBO in Fort Lauderdale dropped HP+Critical counts from 8 to 2 across the two 12-month windows, which is 75.0% better. Now they have a little sechel, may they all wake up tomorrow with it!

Clean Plates

Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Ay bendito — know how to scrub a floor. In Broward County, 128 licensees kept it clean in Q2 2026 across multiple inspections, including CHARLEY'S PHILLY STEAKS in Fort Lauderdale, PHILLY STEAK SUB SHOP in Fort Lauderdale, and J A W DELI CORP in Fort Lauderdale. These aren't just lucky breaks, nu, they are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations. Oy gevalt, I almost don't know what to say when someone actually does their job. CHARLEY'S PHILLY STEAKS in Fort Lauderdale stretched a run of 6 inspections without a single high-priority violation over roughly 1.5 years. I could almost kvell for them, mija — comer es vivir, but not LIKE THAT.
