"Dropped the Heir off around the corner for a concert, looking for a bite, and Perfectly Frank was literally right across the street from where I parked. Clearly a sign from the gods of delicious food and low prices. The young man at the counter asked if I was dining in or taking out, and on hearing that it was my first time here, explained everything and told me that if I was dining in, I could just sit anywhere. I tried looking at the menu, but the waitress popped up almost instantly. I asked for coffee, but they close in 45 minutes so when she said she 'd make some, I asked for sweet tea instead. It was excellent- not so sweet as to hurt my teeth, but sweet enough to satisfy. Making up my mind was HARD, y 'all! I pretty much wanted one of everything. Finally I settled for a Hash Brown Smash $5.09), which is a sausage patty, a fried egg, and cheese, served between two hash browns. A little greasy, but my arteries were feeling a little soft lately anyway. It was delicious- bog standard sausage, expertly cooked egg, nicely melty cheese. The whole was certainly more than the sun of its parts! My side of seasoned fries $2.39) seem to have been seasoned mostly with salt and pepper, but she brought me a bottle of their signature homemade hot sauce, which more than made up any deficiency. When I first came in there was a sign -handwritten on a paper plate taped to the wall, an excellent sign- advertising Island Pie. Supposed to be mango and coconut and such. Sadly, it had already sold out, which is probably just as well, as full as I was after supper. The check was actually just cryptic initials on a Post-it note. ST. HBS. SF. Service was great, food was everything I wanted it to be, and with tax, the whole thing came to $10.99 before tip. I almost never come to Norfolk because I despise driving down here, but I 'm actually already looking forward to my next trip! TL;DR: Hot, cheap, and good, with bright and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended!"
