Inspection problems got a restaurant in trouble.
There’s no worse time for a shopping mall food court restaurant to get closed by failing inspection, and that happened to a place at a South Florida mall last week.
Thursday, a complaint brought a Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation inspector to Charleys Philly Steaks at Plantation’s Broward Mall and the inspector found enough bugginess to shut down the chain location.
Passing Friday’s callback inspection got Charleys back open for the weekend shopping rush. But, here are some of the six total violations and two high priority violations that the inspector noted.
