Citrus County
What the state's inspectors have recorded in Citrus County kitchens, as of the most recent nightly pull. Every line links to the record it came from, and every finding is quoted exactly as the inspector typed it.
How Citrus grades
380 kitchens carry a grade. 47 show N/R — not inspected in about fifteen months, so we would rather say nothing than something stale. Grades are ours, not the state's.
Most recent high-priority finding
Employee cracked raw shell eggs and then handled ready-to-eat food and/or clean equipment or utensils without washing hands Cook cracked eggs, touched plate for customer without washing hands. Discussed proper hand wash with manager.

An emergency order stops a kitchen operating on the spot. Many reopen within days once the problem is fixed — each restaurant's page shows how its order ended.

Please don't call these official state grades. Florida does not issue letter grades to restaurants — it records what an inspector found and how the visit ended, and that is all. Every grade, score and badge on this site is ours, computed the same way for every kitchen in the state from the state's public records. The whole formula is published at how we grade. Inspection findings, closures and disciplinary records are unedited public records from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
