The numbers since July
The state’s District 6 file holds inspections from July 7 to Oct. 8, 2026. It lists 355 inspections at food service businesses with a Tallahassee address. Counting only first visits, so follow-ups are not counted twice, there were 305 inspections at 286 businesses: 203 routine inspections, 74 after a complaint and 28 licensing inspections of new businesses.
| Outcome | First visits | Share |
|---|---|---|
| No further action | 243 | 80% |
| Warning issued | 50 | 16% |
| Administrative complaint recommended | 9 | 3% |
| Emergency order recommended | 3 | 1% |
Ninety-eight first visits found no violations at all, and 205 found no high-priority violation. The typical first visit recorded two violations of any kind.
What the outcomes mean
The state’s inspections page says every licensed food service business gets one to four unannounced inspections a year, based on risk: the food it serves, how it prepares it and its record. Complaints can bring extra visits.
- No further action: the inspection is complete.
- Warning issued: violations must be corrected by a set date, and the inspector returns.
- Administrative complaint recommended: high-priority violations, or violations not corrected after an earlier visit, need administrative action.
- Emergency order recommended: the inspector recommended closing the business until violations are corrected. A callback visit shows whether it complied.
High-priority violations are those that could contribute directly to foodborne illness or injury. Intermediate violations could lead to those risks if not addressed. Basic violations are the rest.

Method
We counted rows in the District 6 file whose county is Leon and whose location city is Tallahassee, using first visits only (visit number 1). A Tallahassee mailing address includes some businesses outside the city limits. Shares are rounded. We do not rank or name restaurants by result on this page; each business’s results are in the state’s records.
What this means for you
- A Florida inspection has no score; read the outcome and the high-priority count.
- One bad visit is often followed by a callback; check the latest report.
- Saw something wrong? Report it to the state.
