Florida restaurant owners should not post restaurant review results where visitors can see them. So every week, we give you that information.
For a complete list of local restaurant inspections, including violations that do not require warning or administrative action, visit our Bay County restaurant inspection site.
Here is a list of the most recent health inspections in Bay County for the week of December 2-8, 2024. Please note that some recent, follow-up inspections may not be included here.
Disclaimer: The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation defines the inspection report as a “snapshot” of the conditions existing at the time of the inspection. On any given day, an organization may have less or more than stated in their current assessment.

What does all that terminology in Florida restaurant reviews mean?
Basic violation are seen against best practices.
A warning it is issued after the violation of the auditor’s documents which must be corrected by a certain date or within the specified days from the receipt of the audit document.
An administrative complaint it is a legal process taken by the sector. Inadequate compliance after a warning, a pattern of repeated violations or the existence of serious circumstances that warrant immediate action may cause the division to initiate a judicial complaint against the creation. Says the department’s website: “Correcting violations is important, but penalties may still be imposed for violations that have been corrected after the warning period has expired.”
An emergency order – if the restaurant is closed by the inspector – it is based on the threat to the public. Here, the Department of Hotels and Restaurants director has decided that this initiative should stop doing business and any division license is suspended to protect the health, safety or welfare of the public.
A 24-hour inspection will be conducted after an emergency closure or license suspension.
