In Short
This narrow storefront diner was put together with salvaged building materials, thrift-store finds and a good dose of light from several overhead skylights. The feeling is neighborly and laid-back--a crowd of young, artsy folks and families eats elbow-to-elbow. The hearty breakfasts, using local and organic ingredients, include items such as biscuits doused in rich sausage gravy and eggs with thick-cut bacon. Lunch offers tuna melts, pot roast and a selection of breakfast items.

We had breakfast today at Gravy and it was great. But the best part was our witress - Jessica. She was totally fantastic - fun, friendly, and attentive. We have been going to gravy for a long time and she is the best waitress we have ever had. Keep it up!

We ate here about a week ago. It was not at all crowded and we got seated immediately. Our waitress was terrific and the atmosphere is warm and homey. I love the vintage glasswear they use to decorate the restaurant. The omelettes are monstrous and filled with loads of whatever you want on the inside. The B & G is good but a little bland, I like mine with more sausage flavor. But the biscuits are fluffy and huge and well smothered with the gravy....no skimping here! I had the oatmeal brulee with berries. It was also a very large portion, the oats cooked perfectly, not at all mushy and the caramelized sugar on top was such a treat...yummy! The french toast is made with challah giving it a nice texture and sweeter taste. Overall, a great experience and reasonably priced.

There seems to be a shortage of good breakfast places in this town. This place is over packed on the weekends. The have huge portions that you can easily share. I love the hash browns which are always golden and delicious. If you are really hungry try the fried chicken, yummy!
