Waitress: surly to point of rude. Left table for less than 60 seconds-food removed from. Overly salty three-egg scramble looked like a 1-egger. Was desperately ill and in severe pain for three days after eating there. I was trying out Perkins in hopes of finding a breakfast place locally, but after this sequence of events don't think so. Maybe it's time to reinspect.
