An Alabama man is suing Waffle House, and it has nothing to do with breakfast food

ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — Grease and sewage from a nearby Waffle House caused thousands of dollars in damage when it seeped onto an Alabama man’s property, he said in a lawsuit.

Mack Crook Jr. of Anniston is seeking a total of $800,000 from Norcross, Georgia-based Waffle House Inc.

At issue is a Waffle House in Anniston that’s adjacent to Crook’s property.

The restaurant’s “grease interceptor” has continuously leaked grease and contaminated fluid into the ground, Crook maintains in the lawsuit.

“The combination of grease and sewage has over time seeped onto and under the foundation of the Plaintiff’s building, causing physical damage to the Plaintiff’s property and loss of use and enjoyment of the property,” the lawsuit states.

Waffle House representatives didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday, but in court filings, its lawyers deny that its grease trap leaked as the lawsuit alleges.

In the court records, Waffle House also denies that grease and sewage damaged the building and is demanding proof of that happening.

Crook filed his lawsuit in Calhoun County in Alabama earlier this month, and Waffle House is seeking to have the case transferred to the federal court system.

Anniston is about 60 miles (95 kilometers) east of Birmingham.
