Monkey Joe's in Coral Springs
Last inspected:
10301 Royal Palm Blvd, Coral Springs, FL 33065Monkey Joe's, a permanent food service establishment with 80 seats in Coral Springs, has experienced significant temperature control violations across multiple inspections. Between August 2024 and September 2025, the facility accumulated 29 total violations on record from 9 inspections. In August 2024, a major inspection documented 26 violations requiring re-inspection, including critical failures in temperature control for hot-held foods (steam table items measuring 91–126°F when 135°F minimum is required), cold-held foods (shrimp ceviche at 53°F instead of 41°F or below), and cross-contamination (raw chicken stored directly over ready-to-eat carrots and over raw pork). Two stop-sale orders were issued on August 20, 2024, for adulterated time/temperature control foods: watermelon cut the day prior that cooled to 53–60°F and hot-held items that fell below proper holding temperatures. Both products were voluntarily destroyed by management. A September 4, 2024 check-back inspection verified compliance of those violations, though a repeat hot-holding violation was identified (pork and yuka sausages at 116–122°F) and corrected on site, and a hand-washing violation was documented and addressed. The facility has since completed four focused inspections between February and December 2025 with zero violations, indicating compliance has been sustained following the corrective actions.
