JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If you're wondering how well your favorite restaurant did on its latest health inspection, we're getting the answers in this week's Restaurant Report.
On Jacksonville's Northside, Magic Wings and Things on Biscayne Boulevard claims its wings are magically delicious. Inspectors found five high-priority violations that say otherwise. The restaurant shut down briefly last week. Inspectors said dead roaches were found on a bottle of sauce, under the drink machine and in the storage room. Thirteen live roaches and flies were also spotted in the kitchen, inspectors said. The business reopened and met state standards after two more visits from inspectors.
In Lake City, breakfast at the Super 8 hotel was put on hold following a surprise inspection. Records show more than a dozen rodent droppings throughout the kitchen, banquet area and storage space.
Two basic violations were served for a hole on the wall outside the kitchen and a dead bug that had to be swept up, insecptors said. It was a quick and easy fix for the crew. Inspectors found zero violations during a follow-up inspection and the kitchen reopened that same day.
Also in Lake City, inspectors briefly shut down the Hardee's on Southwest Baya Drive. Records show there was a fly near the chicken fry station, two dead roaches and one egg casing on the kitchen floor. Rodents had also chewed through foam pieces behind the air conditioning units, inspectors said. The restaurant was approved to reopen later that day once it was clear of any high-priority violations.
