Statewide read: Broward County's failure rate is 61% below the Florida average. Broward County posts 46 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 Brunch, 1 Burritos, 1 Cafe, and 1 Fast Food. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.
Emergency Orders
14 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
BELLE CUISINE CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale, ELVIS ITALIAN GRILLE in Davie and LUV'N OVEN ALE HOUSE in Sunrise led the board in Broward County. 14 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 Fast Food, 1 Haitian, 1 Pizza, and 1 Restaurant. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it.

Near Miss
46 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
ESSENZA ITALIAN EATERY AND MARKET in Fort Lauderdale, CUBAN CAFE in Pompano Beach and EL TAYTA in Hallandale Beach owned the top of the Broward County board. 46 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Chronic Violation Record
204 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.
204 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in Broward County on the 11-year pattern view, led by MATCHBOX SAWGRASS MILLS, LA GOURMANDIZE RESTAURANT. The full repeat-offender record sits below. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator.

Closures
56 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.
FOXY BROWN in Fort Lauderdale, NAMI SUSHI & GRILL in Hollywood and EL COLOMBIANO COLOMBIAN CUISINE in Pembroke Pines drew the loudest scorecard in Broward County. 3 closures confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 11 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

New Owners
30 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
JACKS HAMBURGER HOUSE in Oakland Park, 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach and ISLAND SIGNATURE RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale headlined the Broward County rundown. 30 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. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed.

65 chain brands surface in Broward County’s rollup, covering 496 locations between them: 110 FSQ-confirmed closures, 18 lapsed licenses. Leading brands: Subway, Hz Coffee Group Llc, Hsi Mca Fll Fb Llc. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a chain rollup groups related brand locations so one sloppy operator cannot hide inside a familiar logo.

Openings
168 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.
Total for Broward County: 168 opening signals. 298 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 299 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records; 55 reopening, transfer, or reissue records tracked outside the new-opening headline. Current names include GARY RACK'S FARMHOUSE KITCHEN in Coral Springs, MICKLEY & FABY in Pompano Beach and PLANTATION DINER in Plantation. Ledger type mix: 299 new-license records and 298 announcement-led records and 37 reopenings. Cuisine/venue mix: 266 Unknown and 26 Pizza. Area concentration: 168 FORT LAUDERDALE and 64 POMPANO BEACH. Velocity check: 421 opening signals in the last 90 days, 126 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-11-03 to 2026-06-18. RiskyEats treats these as opening signals: license issue, announcement, or operational evidence can precede the first routine inspection, so the paragraph does not imply a clean inspection history. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting.

Clean Plates
164 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
164 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — NIRALA DESI FOOD, TAQUERIA EL JOVENAZO, J A W DELI CORP among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. NIRALA DESI FOOD stretched a high-priority-free run to 30 inspections covering roughly 7.5 years. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking.
