Florida inspected Plantation food businesses 218 times from July 1 to Oct. 5, 2026; 142 visits needed no further action. How to look up any restaurant.
Last checked Oct. 10, 2026. Figures come from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s food service inspection data, District 2 file, which covers Broward County visits from July 1 to Oct. 7, 2026; the Plantation visits in it run July 1 to Oct. 5. Questions or complaints: DBPR Customer Contact Center, 850-487-1395.
Restaurants in Plantation are inspected by the state, not by Broward County or the city. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants licenses and inspects restaurants and other public food service businesses. Florida does not give restaurants a score or letter grade; each inspection lists violations by severity and ends with an outcome.
How to check a restaurant
- Search any restaurant’s inspections: the state’s online inspection search; enter the business name and “Plantation.”
- Report a problem: file a complaint online or call 850-487-1395.
- Recent emergency closures, statewide: the division’s weekly emergency closure lists.
What the numbers show
In the state’s current District 2 file, inspectors made 218 food service inspection visits at 181 licensed establishments with a Plantation address between July 1 and Oct. 5, 2026. The outcomes:
| Outcome | Visits |
|---|---|
| Inspection completed, no further action | 142 |
| Call-back inspection, problems corrected | 25 |
| Warning issued | 24 |
| Administrative complaint recommended | 19 |
| Emergency order recommended | 4 |
| Emergency order call-back, complied | 2 |
| Call-back, administrative complaint recommended | 2 |
Of those visits, 194 were routine inspections, 14 followed a complaint and 10 were licensing inspections of new businesses; 29 were second or later visits. On the 169 first-visit routine inspections, the median number of high-priority violations recorded was one, and 42% found none. Across all of Broward County in the same file, the median was also one, and 39% found none. These are counts of what inspectors wrote down on one day, not a ranking of restaurants.
Emergency orders
An emergency order closes a business until an inspector returns and finds the problems fixed. Four Plantation establishments had one recommended in the period, and in each case the file shows a follow-up visit at which the business complied:
| Business | Address | Emergency order recommended | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Subs | 210 SW 40th Ave. | July 13, after a complaint inspection | Complied July 14 |
| Rens Sushi Japanese and Thai Cusine | 801 S. University Drive | Aug. 14 | Complied Aug. 15 |
| Olivo Mediterranean Cuisine | 7815 W. Sunrise Blvd. | Sept. 3 | Complied Sept. 4 |
| Riverside Market Plantation | 6900 Cypress Road | Sept. 8 | Complied Sept. 8 |
Names are spelled as the state recorded them, with capitals adjusted. An emergency order is a step in a regulatory process, not a finding of wrongdoing by a court.
How Florida inspections work
- High priority violations are the ones most likely to make someone sick if not fixed, such as food held at the wrong temperature. Intermediate and basic violations are less serious.
- Warning issued means the inspector found violations that must be corrected by a call-back visit.
- Administrative complaint recommended sends the case to the department’s legal staff, which can lead to a fine.
- A restaurant can be inspected more than once in a period; a complaint can trigger a visit.
Method
We counted every row in the DBPR District 2 food service file whose location city is Plantation, and every Broward County row for the county comparison. Rows are inspection visits, so one establishment can appear several times. The state’s file uses the business’s mailing city, which can differ slightly from city limits. Figures will change when the state posts its next file.
What this means for you
- Check a restaurant yourself with the state’s search before you book a party or event.
- Saw a problem? Report it to DBPR; a complaint can lead to an unannounced inspection.
- New openings show up as licensing inspections; see new businesses in Plantation.
