JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – On the menu we've got a full rack of ribs, Sunday brunch and hamburgers served with a side of critical violations.
Four eateries in Jacksonville missed the mark and had to shut down due to health violations in this week's Restaurant Report.
Casa Marina
In Jacksonville Beach, Casa Marina on First Street North shut down for half a day after a failed inspection. State records show the popular brunch spot had four dead roaches found near the restroom and kitchen that the manager discarded. The business also had nearly 25 flies, according to inspectors.

Corrective action was taken and an appointment for pest control was scheduled. The restaurant reopened that same day but still needs a followup inspection.
Wipeouts Grill
In Neptune Beach, Wipeouts Grill on Atlantic Boulevard made waves with a one-day closure. It had three high-priority violations that include rodent droppings found in the kitchen and raw sausage stored over a box of cheese, according to state regulators' records.

A basic violation was also issued for wet nesting cups, which are how inspectors refer to dishes that have been stacked before they're dried.
Krystal
Krystal on Lem Turner Road, just south of West Edgewood Avenue, was caught with two dead rodents on a sticky trap near the stove and fryer, state records show. Grease buildup was found under the fryers and approximately 40 dry rodent droppings were spotted nearby, inspectors said.

Inspectors said the manager was caught grabbing a hot dog with his bare hands because he didn't have any gloves. The food truck reopened the next day after meeting state standards.
