Grove in Delray Beach
Last inspected:
187 Ne 2 Ave, Delray Beach, FL 33444Grove in Delray Beach has been inspected 24 times since 2016, accumulating 72 violations—an average of 3.0 per inspection, below Florida's statewide average of 5.2. However, the facility exhibits a severe and recurring pattern of high-priority violations centered on employee health and hand hygiene. Employee health reporting violations appeared in at least 8 inspections; proper hand/arm washing violations in at least 7 inspections. These are among the most serious food safety categories, directly tied to foodborne illness transmission. Management awareness and employee health policy violations—systemic management failures—have been cited repeatedly across the record.
The most recent inspection on October 9, 2025 documented 9 violations, including 6 high-priority violations: 3 employee health reporting violations and 3 proper hand/arm washing violations. On May 2, 2025, an inspection found 8 violations (6 high-priority) and resulted in a Warning Issued disposition; the following day on May 3, a high-priority consumer advisory violation triggered an administrative complaint recommendation. An October 25, 2024 inspection cited 7 violations (4 high-priority) and also resulted in a Warning Issued. The facility has not experienced an emergency closure, but the chronic recurrence of the same critical violations across multiple years suggests persistent operational deficiencies in employee health oversight and food handling practices. The October 9, 2025 inspection was completed with no further action, though the violation count and severity pattern warrant continued scrutiny.
