Overview

• Florida’s DBPR temporarily shut down Sickies Garage Burgers & Brews on September 15 after documenting 15 violations, including four classified as high priority.
• High-priority issues included an employee not washing hands before handling food, evidence of rodent activity, improper storage of a toxic substance, and unsafe time/temperature control for foods.
• A follow-up inspection later that day recorded 11 violations with three high priority, noted that standards were met during the visit, and allowed the restaurant to reopen.
• Operator actions reported included coaching on handwashing, removing and cleaning rodent droppings, cleaning equipment, and correcting food storage temperatures, with a time extension granted to resolve the toxic substance storage issue.
• The restaurant sits at 7640 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway near Disney World, and coverage points to similar brief August shutdowns nearby and urges diners to review Florida’s public inspection records before eating off property.
