A national restaurant chain was forced to close one of its Orlando locations for two days after a health inspector cited dozens of code violations, including a number of roach droppings that was “too much to count.”
The Winghouse Bar and Grill located at 3201 Parkway Center Court in Orlando was forced to close its doors on Monday, August 7 and Tuesday, August 8 after failing two consecutive health inspections conducted by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
During the inspector’s first visit on August 7, at least 28 health code violations were cited, including five considered high priority.
Among the high-priority violations was the presence of live, flying insects, as well as roaches. During the inspection, the report notes that approximately 10 live roaches were found around the kitchen, including many found underneath equipment that didn’t work.
Additionally, the inspector’s report notes that there were so many roach droppings that there was “too much to count.”
The restaurant was reinspected on August 8 and was still cited for at least 20 violations, including 4 considered high priority.
During the second failed inspection, at least 10 live, flying insects were found throughout the cookline and the restaurant was kept closed.
A third inspection was conducted on Wednesday, August 9, and the restaurant was permitted to reopen, despite 19 violations remaining.
