Listen, fam, here's the tape: Zoomed out to Florida: Broward County's failure rate is 54% below the Florida average. Broward County reports 49 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 Cafe, 1 Chinese, 1 Dim Sum, and 1 Diner. Box-score translation: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county. That is the box score.
Emergency Orders
15 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Look, the box score doesn't lie: LONA in Fort Lauderdale, TEE JAY THAI SUSHI in Wilton Manors and BELLE CUISINE CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale led the board in Broward County. 15 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 Haitian, 1 Pizza, 1 Restaurant, and 1 Seafood. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. Box-score translation: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it. Come on now.

Near Miss
49 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Yo, check the replay on this one: TEN TEN SEAFOOD & GRILL in Sunrise, TALKIN' TACOS in Davie and AFFENDI GRILL in Pompano Beach topped the Broward County ledger this round. 49 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. Box-score translation: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Chronic Violation Record
207 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.
A pattern of failure runs deep in Broward County. An 11-year look at the records shows 207 restaurants have established a history of chronic violations. When a place repeatedly breaks the rules, it is not just a bad day; it is a culture of negligence that persists for over a decade. MATCHBOX SAWGRASS MILLS in Sunrise and LA GOURMANDIZE RESTAURANT in Tamarac lead the list of these repeat offenders. These are the names that keep showing up on the radar because they cannot seem to learn how to keep a kitchen clean. The full record of these long-term offenders is listed below.

Closed/Delinquent
381 records this window
Two tiers: confirmed closures (owner-validated posts, news, and external places data that say service has stopped) and DBPR delinquent/inactive licenses (Primary Status Code 45/46) — a regulatory state, not by itself a confirmed closure.
Buckle up, because the numbers got loud: FOXY BROWN in Fort Lauderdale, NAMI SUSHI & GRILL in Hollywood and EL COLOMBIANO COLOMBIAN CUISINE in Pembroke Pines sat at the head of the Broward County list. 1 closure confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 1 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Box-score translation: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

New Owners
35 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Hot take incoming, and the stats back it: JACKS HAMBURGER HOUSE in Oakland Park, 5TH ELEMENT INDIAN GRILL in Pompano Beach and ISLAND SIGNATURE RESTAURANT LLC in Fort Lauderdale put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 35 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. Box-score translation: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed. Come on now.

Chain Activity
65 records this window
Multi-location chain brands flagged via aggregated signals across all locations.
First pitch, and they're already down a run: a massive shakeup across Broward County. A chain rollup just surfaced, and that is industry speak for when one big company swallows up others to create a giant brand empire. We are talking about 65 different chain brands moving through the area, covering a staggering 496 locations between them. Yo, the numbers on this are absolutely wild. Within this massive movement, we saw 110 FSQ-confirmed closures and 18 lapsed licenses. The heavy hitters leading this charge are Subway, Hz Coffee Group Llc, and Hsi Mca Fll Fb Llc.

Openings
105 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.
Real talk, the scoreboard tells the whole story: Current Broward County tally: 105 opening signals. 228 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 298 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records; 49 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 COMMON ROOM in Hollywood. Ledger type mix: 298 new-license records and 228 announcement-led records and 30 reopenings. Cuisine/venue mix: 254 Unknown and 19 Cafe. Area concentration: 146 FORT LAUDERDALE and 53 POMPANO BEACH. Velocity check: 339 opening signals in the last 90 days, 83 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-11-03 to 2026-06-23. 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. Box-score translation: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting. That is the box score.

Clean Plates
169 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Alright, gang, roll the highlight reel: 169 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. Box-score translation: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking. That is the box score.
