FLORIDA. A trampoline park, a resort spa dining room, and a pizza shop in Oakland Park were among 19 Florida restaurants and food service operations cited for high-severity temperature or chemical violations during the week of October 1 through October 7, 2026, state inspection records show.
The Chemical Violations
The chemical side of this week's citations stretches from a strip-mall sandwich counter in South Miami to a resort dining room in Palm Beach Gardens. Honey Veil at 5748 Sunset Drive in South Miami was cited for toxic chemicals improperly stored or labeled, a high-priority violation that state records classify under the chemical poisoning risk category.
Duffy's Sports Grill at 4800 Hillsboro Boulevard in Coconut Creek drew a citation for toxic substances improperly identified, stored, or used. The same violation category appeared the same week at First Watch Restaurant No. 120 at 20401 SR 7 in Boca Raton, a national breakfast chain.
Hibachi Buffet at 4026 West Hillsboro Boulevard in Deerfield Beach was also cited for toxic substances improperly identified, stored, or used, as was Tokyo Peking 88 at 3715 West Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach and Coriander at 3441 West Woolbright Road, also in Boynton Beach.
Three Boynton Beach operations received chemical-related citations in a single week. Owl at 4953 Le Chalet Boulevard in Boynton Beach received the most direct citation of the group: food contaminated by chemical, physical, or biological hazards. That violation is distinct from improper storage. It means inspectors documented actual adulteration of food, not just a proximity risk.
Bonefish Mac's Sports Grille at 6174 West Sample Road in Coral Springs was cited for toxic chemicals improperly stored or labeled. Less than a mile away, Foodeyez Caribbean Cuisine Corp at 6268 West Sample Road in Coral Springs received the identical citation.
Sky Zone at 1834 SW 2nd Street in Pompano Beach was cited for toxic chemicals improperly stored or labeled. Sky Zone is a trampoline and fitness park with a food service concession, not a traditional restaurant.
PGA National Resort and Spa's Honeybelle dining room at 400 Avenue of the Champions in Palm Beach Gardens was cited for toxic substances improperly identified, stored, or used.
The Temperature Violations
Eight operations were cited for food not cooked to the required minimum internal temperature, a violation that state records place under the pathogen survival risk category.
Guanabanas Restaurant at 960 North Highway A1A in Jupiter was cited for food not cooked to the required minimum temperature. Guanabanas is a well-known waterfront restaurant on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Red Lobster No. 0345 at 6638 Lake Worth Road in Lake Worth received the same citation. Red Lobster locations have faced ongoing scrutiny nationally as the chain restructures, and this location's citation adds to the week's pattern of chain restaurants appearing alongside independents.
Green Owl at 1899 Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach was cited for undercooking. That makes four Boynton Beach operations, between Green Owl, Owl, Tokyo Peking 88, and Coriander, that drew high-severity citations in the same seven-day window.
Tin Roof at 219 South Andrews Avenue in Fort Lauderdale was cited for food not cooked to required minimum temperature.
Amrit Ocean's banquet and Taaza operation at 3100 North Ocean Drive in Riviera Beach was also cited for undercooking. Amrit Ocean is a luxury resort hotel on Singer Island.
Moon Pizza Pie at 3501-3503 North Dixie Highway in Oakland Park was cited for food not cooked to the required minimum temperature, as was Banchero/La Mariella at 2500 East Hallandale Beach Boulevard in Hallandale Beach.
How Ya Dough'n at 3260 University Drive in Coral Springs rounded out the undercooking citations for the week.
What These Violations Mean
The eight undercooking citations this week represent one of the most direct paths from a kitchen to a sick customer. Salmonella in poultry survives at temperatures below 165 degrees Fahrenheit. E. coli in ground beef survives below 155 degrees. When food leaves the heat before reaching those thresholds, the bacteria that were present going in are still present coming out. Guanabanas, Red Lobster, Green Owl, Tin Roof, Amrit Ocean, Moon Pizza Pie, Banchero/La Mariella, and How Ya Dough'n all received this citation.
The chemical violations fall into two distinct categories this week, and the distinction matters. Most of the eleven chemical citations, at Duffy's Sports Grill, First Watch, Hibachi Buffet, Tokyo Peking 88, Coriander, PGA National's Honeybelle, and others, involve improper identification, storage, or use of toxic substances. That typically means cleaners, sanitizers, or pesticides stored where they can fall into food or be mistaken for food-safe products. The risk is acute poisoning from a single exposure.
Owl's citation goes further. Food contaminated by chemical, physical, or biological hazards means inspectors documented that contamination had already reached the food itself, not just that conditions made it possible. That is a different threshold than a storage violation, and it is the most direct citation in this week's data.
Sky Zone's appearance on this list is a reminder that chemical storage violations are not confined to full-service kitchens. A trampoline park concession operates under the same food safety rules as a restaurant, and the same consequences apply if a cleaning product is stored incorrectly near food.
The Longer Record
Several of the facilities cited this week carry substantial inspection histories in state records. Guanabanas in Jupiter, Red Lobster in Lake Worth, and PGA National's Honeybelle dining room each carry inspection record identifiers that suggest established operating histories under state oversight. A facility with many prior inspections on record and a current high-severity citation raises a different question than a new operation on its first few visits: the system had prior opportunities to document and correct conditions, and the violation still occurred.
The Boynton Beach cluster is the most geographically concentrated pattern in this week's data. Four separate operations within a few miles of each other, Owl, Green Owl, Tokyo Peking 88, and Coriander, all drew high-severity citations in the same seven-day period. Three of the four are on or near Woolbright Road. Whether that reflects a local inspection sweep, a staffing pattern in the area, or coincidence is not something the records alone can answer.
The Coral Springs cluster tells a similar story from a different angle. Bonefish Mac's Sports Grille, Foodeyez Caribbean Cuisine, and How Ya Dough'n all received high-severity citations within the same week in the same city. Bonefish Mac's and Foodeyez are within a mile of each other on West Sample Road.
Amrit Ocean and PGA National Resort are the two luxury hospitality properties in this week's data. Both carry the same high-severity violation categories as the strip-mall operations around them. Price point and brand reputation do not appear in the inspection record.
