The health inspector found a mold-like substance in the interior of the ice machine.

"They're not doing something right if it continues to happen. Wow, I can't believe a 59 and they're still open," customer Tim Davidson told Channel 2's Carol Sbarge.

Other violations included food (including cooked chicken and shrimp) not held cold enough and food debris on several dishes stored as clean.
