The following restaurants and eateries were closed temporarily by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health between Apr. 12 and Apr. 26 for "unacceptable" conditions or "imminent health hazards." A list of eateries facing court dates follows.

The health department inspects nearly 1,000 eateries and food retailers every two weeks. Every inspection is generally regarded as a "snapshot in time," and not necessarily a reflection of day-to-day conditions.  Most violations were fixed immediately on site.

If you suspect you have contracted food poisoning or have a sanitation complaint, contact the health department at 215-685-7495.
