Restaurant inspections: Grease trap overflow temporarily closes Palm Coast restaurant
Florida's digital database of restaurant health inspections is updated regularly with information on which local restaurants pass and fail.
The database can be searched by county or by restaurant name. You will see which restaurants were fined and forced to close temporarily.
Disclaimer: The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation describes an inspection report as "a 'snapshot' of conditions present at the time of the inspection." On any given day, an establishment may have fewer or more violations than noted in its most recent inspection. An inspection conducted on any given day may not represent the establishment's overall, long-term conditions.
