Emergency Orders
25 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! LUV'N OVEN ALE HOUSE in Sunrise, STEAK N SHAKE in Sunrise and RUMROASTERS in Davie put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 25 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. Across the Red Alert cohort: 1 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, 1 Pizza, and 1 Tacos. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss
44 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! LA CASITA SALVADORENA in Oakland Park, MATTEOS in Hallandale and POMPANO PIZZA in Pompano Beach carried the front of this Broward County file. 44 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

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! Pinolandia2go in Pembroke Pines, Tropical Vibes Caribbean Restaurant LLC in Miramar and BICHE/LA CHULITA in Davie led the board in Broward County. 23 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: 2 sandwiches, 1 Bar, 1 Beach, and 1 Brazilian Steak. 18 standalone restaurants and 5 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.
