MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A state inspector ordered a Miami Gardens KFC shut last week after roaches were found in several spots.
The inspection was based on a complaint. The inspector also found roach waste on a wall and by a hand sink.
Muscle Maker Grill, in Deerfield Beach, dubs itself as a "health food restaurant," but a serious roach issue was also found there last week and the place was ordered shut.
Several food items were also found to be out of temperature.
Rodent droppings were found at Pirates Raw Bar & Grill on West Dixie Highway in Northeast Miami Dade and inside Silver Pon to Go in Tamarac.
A state inspector cited Cafe Med by Bice in Deerfield Beach for "misrepresenting" the food it serves customers. Myapapaya in Fort Lauderdale, across from the Galleria Mall, was also ordered shut last week after the inspector noted a fly issue and food out of temperature.
Below is a list of places and some of their violations. All the places mentioned were allowed to re-open following an ordered clean up and re-inspection.
