Live roaches with your cabbage? A Dirty Dining year ender

WILTON MANORS, Fla. – Friendly’s Lounge in Wilton Manors is the last place in 2020 to be ordered shut by inspectors in South Florida.

According to records, Friendly’s had eight violations and a roach issue last week.

A “stop sale” was ordered on cabbage because live roaches were found on them.

Friendly’s was also operating with an expired license at the time of the inspection.

No kitchens were ordered shut in Miami-Dade and Monroe counties last week.
