Forty-eight restaurant inspections, Oct. 26 to Oct. 29

The state recorded 48 food service inspection visits in this county between Oct. 26 and Oct. 29, 2026. Six of them ended in a recommended administrative complaint and one call-back recorded that recommendation again. Seven ended in a warning. Three ended in the disposition “Emergency order recommended.” The 48 visits name 42 separate licenses. Thirty-six were visited once and six twice. Thirty-four of the 48 visits in the window are recorded as Routine - Food. Seven are Complaint Full, four are Complaint Partial and three are a Food-Licensing Inspection.

Oct. 29 is the newest county date anywhere in the file. Oct. 23, Oct. 24 and Oct. 25 carry no county visit of any kind. The file carries 6,341 District 5 rows, 719 of them this county. It runs July 1 through Oct. 29. It writes the county as St. Johns. A search for Saint Johns finds nothing. District 5 covers more than this county.

Three licenses carry the emergency order disposition in this window. At Terra & Acqua in Saint Augustine, a Complaint Full visit on Oct. 26 found 21 total violations and 7 high priority. That visit was recorded as “Emergency order recommended.” A second visit on Oct. 29 found 2 and 1 and was recorded as “Emergency Order Callback Not Complied.” The second is South A Philly Steaks and Hoagies in Saint Augustine. A routine inspection on Oct. 27 found 7 total violations and 3 high priority. That visit was recorded as “Emergency order recommended.” A return visit on Oct. 28 found no violations at the license. It was recorded as “Emergency Order Callback Complied.” The third is Main St Pizza & Ice Cream in Hastings. A Complaint Partial visit on Oct. 28 found 4 total violations and 3 high priority. That visit was recorded as “Emergency order recommended.” A return visit on Oct. 29 found 1 violation at the license. It was recorded as “Emergency Order Callback Time Extension.”

A recommendation is an inspector’s recommendation and not an order. The file that records an actual closure order is the department’s weekly emergency suspension extract. The newest posted extract covers the week ending Oct. 25. It carries one St. Johns County row. That is the Main St Pizza & Ice Cream closure of Oct. 21, reported in last week’s table. The closure extract shows the place allowed to reopen the next morning. The extract covering Oct. 26 through Nov. 1 is not posted as of this writing. Whether any license in this window was ordered closed is a row in that file. This paper will report what it says when it posts.

The department says that establishments in this state “are not graded or rated.” It says an inspection is “a snapshot of conditions present at the time of the inspection.” Names and cities are printed exactly as the state writes them in the file. Street addresses are carried in the inspection file. They are not reprinted here. The one exception is the closure row, where the state’s own closure extract prints one.

License type codes on these rows are 2010 on 47 rows and 2014 on 1 row. The department’s public records page was retrieved this cycle. It prints no key for those codes.
