These 8 Central Florida restaurants were forced to close over health concerns

Last week, another eight restaurants across Central Florida were told to close after they were visited by a health inspector, according to the Florida DBPR.

Reports show that these businesses were cited for reasons including live roaches, rodent droppings and improper storage of food items.

As of Monday, two of these eateries were allowed to reopen, while the last one has permanently closed.
