Madre santa, Dios mío — Benchmarked statewide: Broward County's failure rate is 58% below the Florida average. Broward County holds 30 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 1 American, 1 Chinese, 1 Fast Food, and 1 Italian Steak. Mija, in plain English: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county. May they all wake up tomorrow with sechel.
Emergency Orders
38 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
Ay, madre mía — P F Chang's China Bistro in Fort Lauderdale, Lona in Fort Lauderdale and Tee Jay Thai Sushi in Wilton Manors sat at the head of the Broward County list. 38 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 Haitian, 1 Restaurant, and 1 Seafood. Trend line: emergency-order volume is steady against the last public cut. Mija, in plain English: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it. Que se cuiden — los pobres clientes.

Near Miss
30 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
Mira lo que te digo — ACQUOLINA in Weston, GYROVILLE 17TH STREET in Fort Lauderdale and LUCKY CITY in Margate stacked up first across Broward County. 30 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. Mija, in plain English: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now. I should live so long.

Chronic Violation Record
186 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.
Ay Dios mío del Cielo — 186 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. Mija, in plain English: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator. A klog tsu Columbus's.

Closed/Delinquent
4 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.
Pa' que sepas, hijita — TRUTH BAR AND LOUNGE in Fort Lauderdale, FOXY BROWN in Fort Lauderdale and NAMI SUSHI & GRILL in Hollywood pulled the heaviest numbers in Broward County. 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. Mija, in plain English: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

New Owners
34 records this window
DBPR ownership-change records in the last 30 days — "Approve Change Owner Request" actions.
Caramba, mein kindeleh — 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. 34 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. Mija, in plain English: an ownership-change filing means a new operator took over the license; it does not mean the restaurant closed. Comer es vivir, but not LIKE THAT.

Mira, no me hagas la boca agua — 62 chain brands surface in Broward County’s rollup, covering 483 locations between them: 110 FSQ-confirmed closures, 15 lapsed licenses. Leading brands: Subway, Hz Coffee Group Llc, Hsi Mca Fll Fb Llc. Mija, in plain English: a chain rollup groups related brand locations so one sloppy operator cannot hide inside a familiar logo. Eat something — but not THERE.

Most Improved
1 record this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
Listen, mein tateleh — BLOCK 40 FOOD HALL in Hollywood sat at the head of the Broward County list. 1 restaurant met the sustained-improvement test: at least four inspections in each 12-month window, recent HP+Critical counts cut by 50% or more, and an active license. BLOCK 40 FOOD HALL in Hollywood dropped HP+Critical counts from 8 to 4 across the two 12-month windows (50.0% better). Mija, in plain English: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern. Mein gott, qué locura.

Openings
11 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.
Nu? — y por qué no me sorprende — Current Broward County tally: 11 opening signals. 221 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 589 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records; 64 reopening, transfer, or reissue records tracked outside the new-opening headline. Current names include G&G ARGENTINE STEAKHOUSE in Fort Lauderdale, THOMAS RIB SHACK LLC in Pompano Beach and BLACK FLAMINGO BREWERY in Oakland Park. Ledger type mix: 589 new-license records and 221 announcement-led records and 56 reopenings. Cuisine/venue mix: 283 Unknown and 38 Pizza. Area concentration: 216 FORT LAUDERDALE and 75 HOLLYWOOD. Velocity check: 283 opening signals in the last 90 days, 60 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2023-05-19 to 2026-07-04. 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. Mija, in plain English: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting.

Clean Plates
1 record this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Vey iz mir, mija — 1 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q3 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — THE GREAT GREEK OF CORAL SPRINGS among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. THE GREAT GREEK OF CORAL SPRINGS stretched a high-priority-free run to 4 inspections covering roughly 1 years. Mija, in plain English: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking. Don't even ask, mija.
