Has the whole world gone crazy? Or is it just andie s? Of course, if you've eaten at one Waffle House you've eaten at all of them. That's the whole point. And greasy food, greasy tables, greasy waitress? That's the whole point. And forget about anyone calling CPS... they have a guy routinely patrolling the parking lot, trying to figure out who left their babies in the car while they're passed out in a booth inside. I'm staying... finishing my coffee. Four stars.

My good friend Andy is out of his element. Mark it eight. Waffle House is the most consistently average food on the planet. It's definitely not for vegans, but grilled greasy foods and cross-country consistency gets them high marks from me. I always rely on the kindness of the Waffle House when traveling cross-country. From OH to FL they are almost on every exit. In fact I think the exact same people, customers and workers alike, are at every Waffle House. I think they clone them. Rest easy, hungry soul, it won't be more than 45 minutes until you see the next shining yellow beacons of deliciousness. When I made the drive from MI to CA by myself, the Waffle House made it like traveling with an old friend. A very greasy, very old friend. My only caution to you, dear traveler, is to brace yourself at some point, for there are no Waffle Houses north of Central OH and there are none West of the middle of the TX panhandle. They need to remedy that. That being said, do NOT expect to get a high-end meal of any kind. "Steaks" are about 1/4" thick and nothing is all that great. However, you can't really do a bad job on grits, or hash browns. And most everything is fresh. Not good, but fresh. Count on driving the next few hours with the windows open, if you know what I mean. I became so fond of eating at Waffle Houses, my wife got me a limited edition employee-only Waffle House X-Mas ornament for our tree on E-bay. Oh how I wish they were in CA. But alas, I suspect I will live longer instead. PRO TIP: Carry cash or you will have to use their version of an ATM.

I believe the sign actually reads Waffle House now but did read Waffle Steak for years. If you've eaten at one Waffle House you've eaten at all of them. Greasy food, greasy tables, greasy waitress. The whole thing is gross. I didn't know you could make toast greasy. That's not a joke; the toast is greasy and disgusting. If I'm out with friends and someone insists on going to Waffle House on the way home from the bar, I won't eat. I'll drink Heaven Hill, I've walked across the river of urine at the Mag Bar, but I will not eat Waffle House again. If you've never been and are interested in going I'll list what to expect below. 1 - Order food 2 - Wipe hands from touching greasy menu 3 - Chew food (I'm using the word chew generously. This slop kinda just falls apart) 4 - Swallow 5 - Vomit If anyone checks "yes" on "Good for kids" they need to visited by CPS.

I believe the best way to sum up Waffle & Steak is that "it is what it is." Yes, the food is greasy. No, it is not a four star restaurant. You come to Waffle & Steak when you have that hunger pang for some "good 'ol fashioned" greasy food, whether it be a couple of eggs with hash browns, the texas melt, or even a waffle. The point being, this restaurant in particular excels in it segment.

The food is always great and the customer service is almost always great. For how busy these people are they are usually very pleasant and helpful.

Typically love Waffle House, but extremely disappointed in this one. Service was good, but food was substandard. My husband and I had the ham and cheese omelet, toast, bacon, and hash browns. My husbands omelet was over cooked, to the point of brown crusty. Not sure why the waitress didn't notice. My omelet was some better, but not near the quality as prior experiences at different Waffle Houses. The rest of the breakfast was good. Toast, coffee, bacon, and hash browns good. Restaurant was also in need of cleaning. It was Thanksgiving morning, so you have to give them a little break for having to work on a holiday.

As has been mentioned - this is "Waffle House" though I guess historically, it was Waffle & Steak. Some folks are rabid fans of the entire chain. I am not one of those. Actually, I usually find Waffle House pretty much a solid 'low 2' on a scale, and stop only when there are no other option on long road trips, or when someone else is driving. This particular location though, does it better than I ever expected. The steak I ate here was not shoe leather, and actually had some flavor to it. The Hash Browns were not cremated nor cooked to the consistency of a hockey puck and there was actually a good selection of condiments on the table. The staff was friendly, attentive - and the place was very much cleaner than most I've gone too. Had to explain what a basted egg was, but it was cooked perfectly when it arrived. Not a bad place when looking for some quick 'breakfast' and there is nothing else open. I probably wouldn't come here for anything else. The tables here are pretty small though - I'm not sure that I'd consider this location 'good for groups' unless they were 4 or less.

Server was really nice. Can't really complain when going to a Waffle House. Most of these places are pretty "rough". The restaurant seemed clean, the people were nice. My eggs had hair in them. But hey, it's the Waffle House, what else was I suppose to expect?

Indeed, Mr. Andy S., if you eat at one Waffle House you've eaten at them all - which is why I can't understand your one-star review! Waffle House provides the ambrosia of the Gods, scattered, smothered, covered. This particular location, which I think I can vouch about the "Waffle Steak" nomenclature, is no exception. Men on the griddle, women serving tables..the way it was meant to be. It's actually one of the nicer Waffle House locations in the Louisville-area. PRO-TIP: The road directly outside is a one-way. It's not so easy to tell at 3am until headlights are bearing down on you. Also, it's New Albany, so those motherfuckers see you as a challenge. PRO-TIP: Since you'll be in the neighborhood anyway, go down the block and check out Scary Jesus.

Overheard at breakfast the other morning: "Hey little girl, wanna come home with me? I have a big yard and a basement for you to play in." Fat, hairy, mouth-breathing dude was looming over a little girl and her mother and asking this question with complete sincerity. As I grazed on an exceptionally greasy country ham steak, slimy eggs, and lumpy grits, I was entranced by the vignette playing out around me. A large number of the staff were seated at one of the tables, discussing everything from somebody's cancer to somebody else's restraining order. The potential serial killer was lumbering around the place from table to table conjuring images of "Deliverance". Better than dinner and a movie.

I'll take a double hashbrowns scattered, smothered, and covered, please. Okay, seriously, people. I live 3000 miles away and here I am reviewing the Waffle Steak in New Albany? Has the whole world gone crazy? Yes, the sign used to say WAFFLE STEAK, however, everything inside was Waffle House branded. The sign now says WAFFLE HOUSE, so the collar matches the cuffs... Are you, like Matt C, a fan of Waffle House; or do you, like Andy S, consider grease to be a bad thing? Either way, this place is not going to change your mind. Me? I love Waffle Houses - all of them - from the one in Archdale, NC, where a drunken man in a cowboy hat beat on the bathroom door bellowing "the rest of us have to piss, too" to this little outpost in New Albany where I tried grits for the first time. Why? Well, let's just say "open 24 hours," "breakfast served all day," and "double hash browns" are 3 of my favorite phrases of all time.
