Big Dawgs Family Sports Restaurant in Orange Park
Last inspected:
1330 Blanding Blvd 135, Orange Park, FL 32065Big Dawgs Family Sports Restaurant in Orange Park has compiled a concerning compliance record marked by escalating enforcement actions and recurring high-priority violations across 25 inspections totaling 209 violations since 2016. The facility averaged 8.4 violations per inspection—significantly more than double the statewide average of 5.2—demonstrating systemic management failures rather than isolated incidents. Employee health reporting violations, improper chemical storage, hand washing failures, shell stock handling violations, and food contact surface contamination have been cited repeatedly across multiple inspections, indicating that management has failed to implement effective corrective measures.

A fire safety violation was documented in April 2022 involving a portable fire extinguisher gauge in the red zone. Despite these enforcement escalations, no emergency closure has been issued. The most recent inspection on January 12, 2026 was completed with an administrative complaint recommended after discovery of 33 violations including high-priority violations for employee health reporting, food contact surfaces, chemical storage, time/temperature control, and consumer advisories.
