The Boston Market in Shadowood Square was closed on Thursday after restaurant inspectors found over a dozen live roaches in various locations including near the prep sink:

Roach activity present as evidenced by live roaches found. 1 on the floor by the prep sink located next to the walk in cooler, 3 behind the stainless steel wall behind the prep sink located next to the walk in cooler, 1 on the wall behind the dry storage shelving unit next to the prep sink, 4 between the wall and rolls of toilet paper stored on the dry storage shelving unit and approximately 5 on the boxes of aprons stored on the dry storage shelving unit.

While there were only 9 violations total, three were high priority and those were pretty bad. The other two had to do with milk not kept cold enough leading to a stop sale on those items.

Potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food cold held at greater than 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Milk bottle-58°f more than 4 hours. See Stop Sale.
Stop Sale issued on potentially hazardous (time/temperature control for safety) food due to temperature abuse. 7 regular milk and 4 chocolate milk. See Stop Sale Form. Operator discarded product.

An inspection the next day found zero violations and the store reopened. The location has had generally good inspections in the past.

The biggest number in this week’s report was for Whistle Stop in East Boca. They had 18 total violations with three marked high priority. Whistle Stop also had a not-great inspection in October of last year.
The other somewhat big number this week was Pizza Chef Bistro, on the west side of 441 near the county line. Inspectors noted 15 violations, but the good news is that none of them were high priority.
Also, Chipotle in Westwinds of Boca had 11 violations with 1 marked high priority.
