MIRAMAR, Fla. – Original Junie's in Miami Gardens was ordered shut last month for the second time this year due to rodent issues.
An inspector was back at Original Junie's on June 27 and discovered rodent droppings in the kitchen area.
Rodent and roach issues were also found at Asian Grill in Margate.
Meanwhile, a live fly issue forced the closure of a McDonald's in Miramar and Latin American Grill in Pembroke Pines.
In fact, a "stop sale" was issued on sandwiches at Latin American because the inspector saw flies landing on them.
Roach issues were also discovered at Flashback Diner in Hallandale Beach and at Sunrise Cafe in the Lexington Hotel.
According to inspectors, a mold-like substance was found in the ice machine at a Subway in Miami. As of this publication, the Subway remains closed.
All the other places mentioned below were allowed to re-open following an ordered cleanup and then a re-inspection.
