The regulatory question is simple: Start with the state: Broward County is near the Florida mean. Broward County sits at 92 recent high-priority hits. Mix: 2 seafood spots, 1 Argentine, 1 Cafe, and 1 Chinese. Translation for the public record: a 90-day window means the recent inspection stretch, not a verdict on every kitchen in the county. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.
🔥 Alerts
Emergency Orders
33 records this window
Restaurants closed by DBPR emergency order in the last 90 days.
The public record leaves one hard question: CRAFT FT LAUDERDALE in Fort Lauderdale, LAS CARNITAS LATIN CUISINE in Pompano Beach and QUATES MEXICAN RESTAURANT INC in Oakland Park stacked up first across Broward County. 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. Translation for the public record: an emergency order means DBPR ordered service stopped until a callback inspection clears it. The numbers are the story.

Near Miss
92 records this window
Inspections in the last 30 days that posted high-priority violations but were not shut down.
This is the part operators cannot wave away: WESTON DINER in Davie, GRATEFUEL CAFE in Fort Lauderdale and PEKING DUCK HOUSE in Pompano Beach headlined the Broward County rundown. 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. Translation for the public record: a high-priority violation is the state saying the risk can touch food safety right now.

Closed/Delinquent
191 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.
Trajectory tells the truth statistics hide: VIET TASTE CATERING in Davie, ADVANCE ICE CREAM in Weston and SPRD THE VIBE LLC in Oakland Park topped the Broward County ledger this round. 3 closures confirmed via news, state action, or multiple agreeing social signals. Another 20 surfaced from single-source social signals and remain under review — reported, not confirmed. Main evidence reasons: 199 social or silence signal and 124 DBPR inactive/cancelled status (45/46). Confidence mix: 198 confirmed and 136 suspected. Velocity check: 23 closure-evidence records in the last 90 days, 21 in the last 30. Dated closure signals run from 2011-04-25 to 2026-07-25. Translation for the public record: a closure signal is evidence a place may have gone dark; only verified tier-4 records are confirmed permanent closures. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.

⚠️ Caution
Chronic Violation Record
191 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.
Three years of inspection records tell this story: 191 restaurants with chronic violation records surface in Broward County on the 11-year pattern view, led by MOON THAI & JAPANESE, IRIE TAKEOUT RESTAURANT. The full repeat-offender record sits below. Translation for the public record: chronic violation record is our shorthand for an 11-year repeat-offender pattern, not a verdict on the operator.

✨ Trusted
Most Improved
43 records this window
Restaurants whose recent-window violation count is at least 50% lower than the prior window, with the most recent inspection clean.
The inspection record spans eleven years; the pattern is clear: FIRST WATCH #0083 in Sunrise, BARILOCHE GOURMET in Fort Lauderdale and ROCCO'S TACOS in Fort Lauderdale put the sharpest marks on Broward County's list. 43 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). Translation for the public record: most improved means the recent record got materially cleaner than the prior-year pattern.

Clean Plates
127 records this window
Restaurants with multiple inspections in the current quarter and zero high-priority or intermediate violations.
Florida statute 61C-1.002 sets the cadence; the inspectors honor it: 127 Broward County licensees ran a clean Q2 2026 ledger across multiple inspections — GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS, TAYLOR MADE BBQ, RED ZEPPELIN among them. These are repeat visits with zero high-priority or intermediate violations — the operators rewarded for consistency, not one lucky inspection. GULFSTREAM PARK THEME PARK CARTS stretched a high-priority-free run to 14 inspections covering roughly 3.5 years. Translation for the public record: a clean plate means the recent inspection record stayed quiet where the state was looking. That is not atmosphere; it is a compliance record.

🆕 New
Openings
54 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.
Cross-reference Sunbiz dissolution against DBPR active status — the gap matters: Current Broward County tally: 54 opening signals. 80 announced via FB/news/operator signal; 4164 DBPR/event-ledger new-license records. Current names include LAS OLAS CO - RIVERSIDE HOTEL in Fort Lauderdale, MONSTER BURGERS in Davie and MIDNIGHT COOKIES AND CREAM in Hollywood. Ledger type mix: 4164 new-license records and 80 announcement-led records. Cuisine/venue mix: 2460 Unknown and 122 Pizza. Area concentration: 842 FORT LAUDERDALE and 589 HOLLYWOOD. Velocity check: 203 opening signals in the last 90 days, 47 in the last 30. Dated opening signals run from 2016-07-07 to 2026-07-27. 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. Translation for the public record: an opening signal starts with licensing or source-confirmed evidence, not wishful ribbon-cutting. The numbers are the story.
