Last inspected:
1720 Tamiami Trail Suite 100, Port Charlotte, FL 33948Part of: Metro Diner Florida health inspections, violations & closures
Metro Diner in Port Charlotte has accumulated 154 violations across 21 inspections since 2016, averaging 7.3 violations per inspection—substantially above the Florida statewide average of 5.2. High-priority violations dominate the record, particularly chemical storage (cited in 7 of the last 8 inspections), employee health reporting (4 of last 8), food contact surfaces (6 of last 8), and proper cooking temperatures (6 of last 8). The facility has not experienced an emergency closure. On March 27, 2026, an inspector documented employee health reporting and chemical storage violations and recommended an administrative complaint—the most serious enforcement escalation. A second inspection two days prior on March 25 cited eight violations including three high-priority findings (management awareness, employee health reporting, bare hand contact with ready-to-eat food, and shellstock requirements) and resulted in a formal warning. The pattern of recurring high-priority violations across multiple inspection categories suggests systemic management failures in food safety protocols rather than isolated incidents.
