Press Room / Hillsborough
Hillsborough County
What the state's inspectors have recorded in Hillsborough 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 Hillsborough grades
4,665 kitchens carry a grade. 956 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
Raw animal food stored over/not properly separated from ready-to-eat food. Raw pork over potatoes main reach in cooler.

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.
