A Buffalo Wild Wings in east Orlando was forced to temporarily close its doors for two days after failing back-to-back health inspections for the presence of roaches and flying insects.
Located at 11400 University Boulevard near the University of Central Florida, the restaurant failed health inspections on Tuesday, May 30 and Wednesday, May 31, according to a report from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
During the first visit, the inspector cited at least seven violations, including two that were high priority. Among the violations was the presence of roaches and flying insects. The report indicated that the inspector found 17 live roaches around the kitchen, cook line, behind shelves, and in other areas. The inspector also cited 22 flying insects near sink drains, in the main bar, and around the restaurant.
During the second visit on Wednesday, May 31, the inspector found another dozen live roaches, including under soda boxes and behind the reach-in cooler. The report also notes that multiple dead roaches were found at the time as well. In addition to roaches, 22 flying insects were found near the bar and a server station.
The restaurant was reinspected on Thursday, June 1, and permitted to reopen after no remaining violations were cited.
