A Gwinnett County Waffle House failed its recent health inspection, with officials noting mold in the ice machine and fruit flies "throughout the facility."

The diner, located at 4135 Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville, received a 58/U on the Monday morning inspection.

In addition to the flies and mold -- both repeat violations -- the eatery was cited for allegedly having raw waffle batter and eggs stored about ready-to-eat food (another repeat violation) and a leaky "dish sink drain line."

If repeat violations are repeated again, the report said, the diner's permit could be suspended.
