The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation recently conducted inspections of 333 restaurants in Pinellas County, FL, over the past 30 days. While 221 establishments passed on their first visit, state records revealed that 112 restaurants failed to meet standards initially.
According to the United States Census Bureau 2023 estimate, Pinellas County has a population of 961,596, which means there are a lot of potential diners --both local and visitors --to keep safe and satisfied.
Let's take a closer look at some of the restaurants that caught the inspectors' attention:
Fays Deli And Subs in St. Petersburg topped the list with 41 violations on August 8. The restaurant was temporarily closed and has undergone three follow-up inspections since, with 18 violations still remaining in the most recent check.
Meanwhile, Loon Fong Restaurant in Pinellas Park also faced temporary closure after racking up 33 violations on August 7. They've since reopened after passing inspection on August 14.
Other notable mentions include Island Grille and Raw Bar (31 violations), China Wok Maximo Inc (29 violations), and O'Maddys Bar & Grille (28 violations).
It's worth noting that these inspection results are snapshots in time. Restaurants can and do improve their practices after inspections. Many of the establishments listed are working hard to address the issues raised.
Remember, staying informed about restaurant inspections is just one part of making smart dining choices. It's always a good idea to check the most recent reports on the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation website before heading out for a meal.
