TAMPA— A new list is out featuring the 100 restaurants across Tampa Bay with the most health code violations on inspections from 2016.
10News compiled the list using data from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants.
Many of the restaurants on this year’s list have had problems in the past.
10Investigates visited Gyroland on North Nebraska earlier this year. The establishment landed at number 38 on the list in 2016.
On our original visit, we heard squeaking, which ended up being a live rodent could be heard from back in the kitchen. Health inspectors were back again in September documenting 45 total violations.
Number 21 on our list is Leo’s Italian Grill on U.S. Hwy. 19 in Palm Harbor. We visited the restaurant back in 2012 when a customer complained to the state about finding a band-aid in their soup. Leo’s is on our worst list for 2016, scoring 52 violations on their March 8 inspection this year.
But it gets worse-- Number 10 on our list is Kobe Italian in the ICOT Center on Ulmerton Road in Clearwater.
We’ve had Red Alerts at a couple of this owner’s restaurants and we’ve been to Kobe Italian numerous times, reporting on their refusal to show the public their health inspection as required by Florida law. After our initial report, the owner at one point agreed to start posting his inspection reports for everyone to see, but that didn’t last long. Kobe Italian had 56 violations on their April 6 inspection.
Another routine repeat offender was Steak N Shake #307 on Park Street in Pinellas. This place ranks number 6 on our list from 2016.
We stopped in two years ago after the inspector found the milk shake machine dripping down into the candy toppings. A customer who reported getting sick prompted a foodborne illness investigation. Now, two years later, this location still having problems with 56 violations on their March inspection from earlier this year.
And finally to Number 1: the restaurant with the MOST violations on a single inspection in Tampa Bay was Saigon Deli on West Waters Avenue in Tampa. That inspection report listed bugs flying throughout the food prep area major temperature violations and cross contamination issues on the meat.
This restaurant racked up a staggering 79 violations on a single inspection back in March, 15 of which were the most serious, high priority violations that can have a higher probability of making someone sick.
