Inspector shuts down IHOP in The Villages after sewage found backing up in drain

An inspector shut down the International House of Pancakes restaurant in The Villages after sewage was found backing up in a drain in the kitchen.

The inspector visited the restaurant at 2480 Wedgewood Lane on Nov. 2 and found that the floor drain between the dish machine and the three-compartment sink in the kitchen was not draining and had standing water around it, according to an inspection report on file with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. While the hand wash sink was running, the floor drain started “bubbling.”
