Riggs Outpost Lic Establishment #: in Melbourne
Last inspected:
990 E Melbourne Ave, Melbourne, FL 32901Riggs Outpost in Melbourne has experienced significant enforcement activity centered on unsanitary equipment, missing HACCP documentation, and temperature control failures. Between October 14 and October 29, 2025, the facility received seven separate stop-sale and stop-use orders. On October 14, an inspection identified 14 violations including crab cakes held at 43°F (2 degrees above the 41°F minimum), an establishment operating without a certified food protection manager despite priority violations, employees not informed of illness reporting requirements, raw ceviche and oysters served without required disclosure signage, and missing written procedures for vomit and diarrhea cleanup. A stop-use order was issued for unsanitary equipment lacking hot water, with inspector notes warning that failure to provide hot water within 30 days could result in administrative action. Stop-sale orders required the voluntary destruction of temperature-abused product and removal of equipment for missing or incomplete HACCP plans. A follow-up focused inspection on October 29 confirmed a check-back release, noting that an ROP (Ready-to-Prepare) machine had been removed from the facility and verified. The establishment's 5-inspection history since August 2022 also includes citations for missing handwashing sink access (corrected on site in August 2022), missing vomit and diarrhea cleanup procedures (May 2024), and operation with an expired food permit (February 2027). The October 29 inspection disposition was focused inspection with zero violations documented at that visit.
