The sausage gravy was just okay, but I couldn't eat the eggs. I even cut one open and left a half on the plate so it was obvious the yolk had been cooked solid. The waitress never once asked why I wasn't eating them or if there was anything wrong. What disappointed me even more was the service. She never came back to check on us after the food was delivered. When she finally returned to refill our coffee, she was talking to someone else and looking in another direction, so there wasn't even an opportunity to mention the issue. To top it all off, I accidentally left my white Yeti behind. I went back first thing the next morning, and they told me it wasn't there. It's literally the only place I went that day, so that was pretty disappointing as well. Overall, it wasn't just the food. Mistakes happen. It was the lack of attention and customer service that left the bad impression.
