Just in time for back-to-school season, dozens of South Florida restaurants and food trucks are showing off their perfect report cards.
These “gold-star” eateries made the state list of perfect inspections because not one violation — minor, intermediate or high-priority — was red-flagged at the time of the surprise visit from Florida safety and sanitation inspectors. These inspections typically take place at random every six months to a year.
In August, 47 Broward County restaurants and food trucks earned perfect scores. In Palm Beach County, 27 eateries passed their inspections without a single incident.
The Sun Sentinel has tallied them all up in an easy-to-read format below.
NOTE: All restaurants and food trucks listed below have been sorted by city. Those without physical addresses on their Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation inspection reports have been trimmed from the list. Food and drink concessionaires, professional caterers, HOA clubhouses, golf courses, event planners — any purveyor that’s not a public restaurant, food truck, flea market stall or food hall vendor — are also excluded from the roundup.
If your city isn’t listed, either no restaurants there were inspected that month, or none earned a perfect score.
