BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — Palm Beach County had two emergency restaurant closures in the state’s week-ending April 12 records, one in Boca Raton and one in West Palm Beach, while Broward County had none in the closure file. Both local shutdowns were tied to pest activity.
Dirty Dining is based on Florida DBPR emergency closure records, inspection data and the latest disciplinary activity report.
Emergency Closures: Palm Beach & Broward
The local closure list was short this week, but both cases were in Palm Beach County.
Green House, 721 Village Blvd. #107E in West Palm Beach, was approved for emergency closure on April 9. State records list the reason as roach and fly activity. The same file shows the restaurant was approved to reopen on April 10.
Alleycat, 297 E. Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton, was approved for emergency closure on April 10 for roach activity. State records show it was approved to reopen on April 11.
An emergency closure is not a disciplinary action. It is a temporary step inspectors use when conditions are found that pose an elevated risk to the public or employees, and the business stays closed until those issues are corrected.
The inspection file adds more detail to both local cases. Green House’s April 9 inspection logged 6 high-priority, 5 intermediate and 5 basic violations and ended with an emergency order recommended disposition. According to state inspection data, that visit included unsafe temperature control issues, food protection problems, hand-sink issues, manager training issues and pest activity. Alleycat’s April 10 closure inspection logged 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate and 5 basic violations. A callback the next day was marked Emergency Order Callback Complied with 0 high-priority, 0 intermediate and 0 basic violations.
Other Florida Emergency Closures
Statewide, the emergency-closure file listed 23 closures, with 21 outside Palm Beach and Broward.
Among the more notable entries: Conchman Conway LLC in Tallahassee was closed for no potable water. Las Delicias De La Gorda in Pensacola was closed for sewage leaks. Meat Eatery and Taproom in Islamorada was closed for roach and rodent activity.
The statewide file also shows some businesses were cleared to reopen quickly, while others did not yet show a reopen date in the extract.
