It is Florida.

It is a shame they let it get that bad. I am sure the creepy crawlies did not show up overnight.

At least they will have freq inspections now.

That's disgusting! But going forward it will probably be the cleanest restaurant in Orlando. Universal doesn't want that kind of publicity...

I don’t think that I’ll be able to get that out of my head gross......

Honestly, I would be more afraid to buy a bag of lettuce at the grocery store than to eat there.

How many people have died from that lettuce?

Five and now I’m afraid of lettuce.

I can’t read the article as I’m in the UK, but doesn’t sound good..........

They’ll sort it I’m sure, but ewwwww!!! Never nice to hear of things like that.

 

[disneyseniors]

Kind of makes me glad I never had the chance to eat there. Yuck, and I wont on our next trip either.....

 

[ckmiles]

And I REALLY wanted to eat here- Im not sure I can let this go...

They found roaches on the wall in the chocolate room, gnats flying in the kitchen, and mold scum in the ice machine.

How do you get that stuffed resolved same day? It's not Bob's Burgers.

 

[verleniahall]

umm...that is now off of my list of places to eat...

Easy. You call in an exterminator, and give the ice machine a good cleaning.

That is what makes me mad. That could have been fixed already.

Poor management and possibly uncaring, lazy employees. The employees may not have been able to call the exterminators, but they surely could have cleaned the ice machine.

I hate when people don't want to do their job.

Florida sucks when it comes to restaurant inspections. I don't want to stumble into any political discussions and I like many things about living here. But we're not exactly a state known for prioritizing consumer protection. I notice some states like NC and NY require establishments to post their most recent health inspection grade at the entrance. That was voted down here many years ago.

I once had a bad experience with takeout food (bugs - yuck!) and after calling and getting an indifferent reaction from the restaurant, I researched them online in the state database and discovered this restaurant had quite a few past violations. So I filed a report with the health inspection agency. Just like before, I think they were shut down for a day or two, then reopened. No lasting impact.

I do adore dining out. I just try not to think too much about what's going on in the kitchen!

But I totally agree with a poster above - places like UO, WDW and bigger restaurant chains are more cognizant of the bad publicity - they'll clean up their act fast.

And...they'll still have roaches. If my neat-freak mom's house had "palmetto bugs" in Miami, no one and no place is immune.

 

[Captainkidd76]

In any case, it's definitely bad publicity that won't help the restaurant at all, and is a definite embarrassment for Universal.

 

[jkattk]

Shoot I was really looking forward to trying it this weekend! I didn't read the article because I don't even want to think about the details even if we don't eat there...

I think it's best not thinking about too much anywhere. Heck even packaged food is allowed to have up to so many bug parts in it (bleck!). I used to work by an Asian place here in MN and my coworkers and I ate there a few times and really liked it - until the news came out that health inspectors had found either rat or mouse droppings. I don't remember the details of which and of whether it was just in the kitchen or actually in food - I tried hard not to pay close attention or think about it too much so that I wouldn't feel sick! We could never go back...

It happens. I work for a food production plant that has very very strict GMPs and we still run into issues with bugs and mice. We have had a very wet summer where I am at and it happens. People do get lazy and hopefully this is an eye opener and higher ups will now listen to the people who have probably been saying something for weeks if not months.

We ate there the day before it was shut down.
