At Amaravti, an inspector found numerous food items held at “potentially hazardous” temperatures, including heavy cream, chicken, cheese, meatballs, shrimp and vegetables — all of which had to be thrown out. Food items were also found stored on the floor, which is against health code, and four containers of sauce not properly dated.

At IHOP, an inspector found dead gnats in the top inside of the ice machine and a greasy waffle maker in need of cleaning.

Two Mooresville restaurants — Rice Fun and Tim’s Table — rated near perfect scores during their health inspections.
