These are the South Florida restaurants that racked up the most violations in 2025, according to state inspection records. <\/p>\n

While they were not all ordered shut down, inspectors found enough violations to land them on this list.<\/p>\n

**Before you read the list: The Department of Business and Professional Regulation lists restaurant inspections by fiscal year, not the calendar year. Fiscal Year 2025 runs from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The restaurants below recorded the highest number of violations during that fiscal period. This is not a list of all 2025 inspections, but it does show where inspectors found the most problems during the most recent reporting year.<\/p>\n
