Last week, another 11 Central Florida restaurants were forced to temporarily shut their doors after a visit from a health inspector, according to the Florida DBPR.
State records show that many of these restaurants had issues with cockroaches, rodent droppings, food storage violations and more.
However, each of these closures was only temporary, with most restaurants managing to meet inspection standards within a day or two.
