Treasure Coast — Restaurant Inspection Briefing

OOOOH YEAAH! Statewide frame: Treasure Coast's chronic density is 209% above the Florida average. Treasure Coast's current board shows 29 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 Bagels, 1 Bar, 1 Diner, and 1 Fast Food. BROTHER.

Emergency Orders

5 records this window

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

OH YEAH, MEAN GENE! BK#26880 in Stuart, STUART BOATHOUSE in Stuart and JAN'S PLACE RESTAURANT in Jensen Beach carried the front of this Treasure Coast file. 5 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: 2 sushi bars, 1 Brunch, and 1 Seafood. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. OH YEAH.

Near Miss

29 records this window

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

BAGEL BROTHERS OF NEW YORK INC in Port St. Lucie, PICKLED RESTAURANT & BAR in Fort Pierce and BOHEMIO CAFE LLC in Fort Pierce put the sharpest marks on Treasure Coast's list. 29 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 BAS.

Closures

67 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! SKS FAMILY HOLDINGS in Port St. Lucie, FUSION CUISINE RESTAURANT A in Fort Pierce and ISLAND TWIST CARIBBEAN CUISINE in Fort Pierce put the sharpest marks on Treasure Coast's list. 67 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 bars, 4 pizza spots, 3 diners, and 2 american bbqs. 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.

New Owners

LABBYS PIZZERIA in Port St. Lucie, SEOUL GARDEN in Fort Pierce and DOCKSIDE DELI AND COFFEE LLC in Stuart led the board in Treasure Coast. 6 ownership-change filings posted in the 30-day window. Trend line: ownership-change volume is even with the last public cut. These are operator turnovers — a new owner-of-record on an existing license — not closures, cancellations, or revocations.
