Palm Beach County — Restaurant Inspection Briefing

Mija, escuchame; Palm Beach County is having a real moment with these inspections, and it is not a good one. The chronic density of problems in Palm Beach County is 31% above the Florida average. Qué barbaridad, mamala. Oy gevalt, qué desastre! In recent weeks, there were 108 high-priority hits across Palm Beach County. This mix includes 1 Assisted Living, 1 BBQ, 1 Cafe, and 1 Chinese restaurant that failed to keep things clean. No tiene vergüenza.

Emergency Orders

43 records this window

Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.

Oy gevalt, qué desastre. BRICK ALLEY TAVERN in Lake Worth Beach, BRASS MONKEY SPORTS BAR AND GRILL in Lake Worth Beach and FLAME BBQ & SOULFOOD in Mangonia Park put the sharpest marks on the list for Palm Beach County. Such mishegoss, mija — 43 emergency-order shutdowns in the 90-day window where DBPR ordered the kitchen closed on the spot. Mejor no comas allí. Mira, hijita, these are the most actionable signals because they happen faster than admin actions, license cancellation, or corporate dissolution. Vey, this volume of emergency orders is steady against the last public cut. I tell you, mija — feh.

Near Miss

108 records this window

Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.

Mija, ven acá un segundo — shanda. BARCELONA WINE BAR in Delray Beach, NOMU SUSHI & PUB in Boca Raton, and BRIOCHE BAKERY AND CAFÉ in Delray Beach were the ones leading the pack of trouble in Palm Beach County recently. Ay bendito, they managed to rack up 108 high-priority citations in a 30-day window. Nu? None of these resulted in an emergency-order closure, so they stayed open, but they are on the near-miss watch list for a reason. They drew the inspectors' eyes with HP and INT violations, and any one of them could see a follow-up inspection soon. Mejor no comas allí.

Worst Offenders

224 records this window

Active enforcement targets and repeat offenders: restaurants carrying emergency-order history, chronic 11-year systemic violation patterns, or cross-flag enforcement tiers.

Mira, hijita — actors surface in Palm Beach County on the 11-year pattern view. It is a total shanda, and I am telling you, it's enough to make a person lose their appetite. Oy gevalt, qué desastre, leading this list of repeat offenders are LE BON GOUT RESTAURANT LLC and LE BERGER RESTAURANT LLC. These names keep coming up like a bad memory, no tiene vergüenza.

Closures

12 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.

Por Dios y la Santísima — listen to me. CARNAHAN EAST COAST EVENTS in Lantana, LETS DISH CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT in West Palm Beach, and CANNOLI KITCHEN PIZZA in Boca Raton are the names making my blood pressure rise in Palm Beach County. These places are leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Mira, hijita, in this 90-day window, 12 restaurants are showing closure signals like an inactive license or a dissolved corporation. It is a shanda, truly. Among them, we see 2 fast-food spots, 1 Bakery, 1 Donuts, and 1 Pizza. Pa' que sepas, it is mostly 10 standalone restaurants and 2 chain locations that are acting this way. Nu? This volume of closure signals is staying steady, but don't get confused—these are just signals, not all confirmed permanent closures yet. Only a Closure Score of 4/4 means it is third-party verified; the others are just likely or flagged by the DBPR. Mejor no comas allí.

New Owners

14 records this window

DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.

Ay, mein bubbeleh — Boca Raton, CANNOLI KITCHEN YAMATO in Boca Raton and EUROPA BILLIARDS CLUB in Boynton Beach carried the front of this Palm Beach County file. Oy, gevalt, it is just too much schmutz to keep track of. Nu? — y por qué no me sorprende, 14 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. These are operator turnovers—a new owner-of-record on an existing license—not closures, cancellations, or revocations, so don't get your mishegoss in a knot. Mejor no comas allí.

Coño, mija, perdóname pero — showed up in the Palm Beach County rollup, covering 269 locations between them. There are 66 FSQ-confirmed closures and 25 lapsed licenses—oy, such mishegoss! Subway, McDonald's, and Burger King are leading the pack, but who can trust this schmutz? Mejor no comas allí.

Openings

26 records this window

New DBPR licenses plus confirmed opening signals: the places that just joined the map and still need their first public-record track record.

A shanda und a charpa — opening signals popping up in Palm Beach County. Nu? 3 of them were announced through news or Facebook, but 23 are just DBPR-new license records that we are still waiting to confirm. Ay bendito, some names are already floating around like DIMITRI'S TAVERNA in Boynton Beach, MINO OMAKASE in Boca Raton, and WELLINGTON AQUATIC COMPLEX in Wellington. Eat something — but not THERE.

Clean Plates

141 records this window

Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.

Oy, mein kind, mein kind — do things right for once. In the 90-day window, 141 Palm Beach County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections. This includes STAR MAMA LLC, THE PALM HOUSE, and E R BRADLEY'S SALOON. Nu? — y por qué no me sorprende, because these are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations. These operators are rewarded for consistency, not just one lucky inspection, feh. STAR MAMA LLC even stretched a high-priority-free run to 28 inspections covering roughly 7 years. Comer es vivir, but not LIKE THAT.
