I've included pictures of the Kitchen and cooler in current condition as of the month of August 2014. I have also contacted the Florida Bureau of License and Regulation and have been told today that they are delinquent in renewing their license as of June 2014. This place is disgusting and unsanitary. Pictures show all. There is built up grease and old food all over the floor under and around the cookers. The food is not stored safly. In one of the pictures you can see the boxes of raw chicken on the floor and next to bread. Sauces and chicken being marinade are left in buckets for up to two weeks and still served to customers.
