Desert Rider Sandwich Shop in Jacksonville
Last inspected:
217 Hogan St, Jacksonville, FL 322024201Desert Rider Sandwich Shop in Jacksonville has compiled 159 violations across 25 inspections since 2016, averaging 6.4 violations per inspection—significantly higher than the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has not experienced an emergency closure. High-priority violations have been pervasive and recurring: employee health policy violations appeared in 6 of the past 8 inspections; proper cooking temperature violations in 5 of 8; food contact surface violations in 5 of 8; chemical storage violations in 4 of 8; and time-as-a-control violations in 4 of 8. These patterns indicate systemic management failures in core food safety protocols. Fire safety violations were documented on three occasions (January 2021, September 2021, and August 2025), all citing use of cooking equipment producing grease-laden vapors with no hood suppression system installed—a hazard combining food safety and facility safety risks. The most recent inspection on February 6, 2026 identified 36 violations including four high-priority findings (employee health reporting, food contact surfaces, proper cooking temperatures, time as a control, and chemical storage), and an administrative complaint was recommended. A prior callback inspection on November 17, 2025 showed full compliance with zero violations, but the February 2026 inspection represents a dramatic reversion to non-compliance.
