Benchmarked statewide: Broward County is near the Florida mean. Broward County holds 92 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 seafood spots, 1 Argentine, 1 Cafe, and 1 Chinese. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county.

Emergency Orders
33 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
CRAFT FT LAUDERDALE in Fort Lauderdale, LAS CARNITAS LATIN CUISINE in Pompano Beach and QUATES MEXICAN RESTAURANT INC in Oakland Park sat at the head of the Broward County list. 33 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 Mexican spots, 1 Bakery, 1 Gastropub, and 1 Japanese. 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
92 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
WESTON DINER in Davie, GRATEFUEL CAFE in Fort Lauderdale and PEKING DUCK HOUSE in Pompano Beach pulled the heaviest numbers in Broward County. 92 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.

Closed/Delinquent
125 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.
GRATEFUEL CAFE in Fort Lauderdale, PIRATE REPUBLIC BAR SEAFOOD & GRILL in Fort Lauderdale and BIMINI BOATYARD BAR & GRILL in Fort Lauderdale sat at the head of the Broward County list. 107 closures confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 46 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Recency split: 18 in the last 90 days and 213 historical. Dated closure signals run from 2017-03-06 to 2026-07-24. PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures.

⚠️ Caution
Chronic Violation Record
189 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.
OH MY, BROTHER! 189 Broward County restaurants have been playing the long game — 11 years of bad behavior, yeah! And at the top of the heap? MOON THAI & JAPANESE and DINER BY THE SEA — two names that should be on the OUTSIDE looking in, not serving up your dinner! I remember a time when MOON THAI & JAPANESE might have had a clean plate, yeah! But this? This is a 11-YEAR STREAK of chronic violations — that’s not just bad, that’s BAD ACTOR, brother. And DINER BY THE SEA? They ain't no stranger to the red light, either. These aren’t just slip-ups — these are repeat performances, and the crowd’s getting tired of the act. Let me spell it out for you, Broward — 11 years of violations means one thing: they’re not just breaking the rules, they’re rewriting them. And that’s not a badge of honor, that’s a warning sign, yeah!

Most Improved
44 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
FIRST WATCH #0083 in Sunrise, BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale and ROCCO'S TACOS in Fort Lauderdale owned the top of the Broward County board. 44 restaurants 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. FIRST WATCH #0083 in Sunrise dropped HP+Critical counts from 22 to 2 across the two 12-month windows (90.9% better). PROMO TRANSLATION, BROTHER: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern.

Clean Plates
129 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
THE CREAM RISES TO THE TOP — OH YEAH! 129 Broward County licensees just ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections, yeah! We are talking about the heavy hitters like GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS, TAYLOR MADE BBQ, and RED ZEPPELIN staying in the spotlight. These operators aren't just getting lucky; they stayed consistent with zero high-priority or intermediate violations during these repeat visits, YEAH! I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, BROTHER! GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS stretched a high-priority-free run to 14 inspections covering roughly 3.5 years, yeah! They are stylin' out there like a CHAMPION because they kept the kitchen safe for the families and the kids, brother. That is what it means to earn a clean plate—no shortcuts, no excuses, just pure consistency across the board, YEAH!

🆕 New
Openings
123 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.
Current Broward County tally: 123 opening signals. 3 announced via FB/news/operator signal. Current names include SABOR Y SAZON DE MI TIERRA LLC in Fort Lauderdale, RUNWAY RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE in Hollywood and MOTEK BY THE SEA in Fort Lauderdale. Dated opening signals run from 2026-07-14 to 2026-07-21. 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.
