Gravy
“The portions are respectable and the atmosphere is always warm and comfortable.”
“The red velvet cake was stale!”
“just wanted to say they make great bloody marys, which are great to drink while sitting on the back patio on a nice”
“All the food is delicious, though please don't eat it all in one sitting (we all need to fit into subway seats occasionally after all).”
“The menu is tighter, the portions are huge, and they've figured out what to capitalize on instead of doing it all.”
“Gravy has many regulars; people who come that morning for 'inedible breakfast,' then come back for dinner.”
“My experience with service has been mostly very good; there have been one or two less-than-stellar performers, but, hey, it ain't Alain Ducasse, so I can forgive.”
“Easy relaxed atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious brunch options (both old-school basics like grits and poached eggs and more fancy varieties) great value, and magazines to read while you wait.”
“Lots of comfy seating- both indoors and out- makes a long wait for a table unlikely.”View Less
Comfort Food...a welcome break from the pretentiousness of the nouveau residents in Brooklyn. The sevice is relaxed (some would say slow), but in accordance with the atmosphere. The decor is a kitschy Lodge/Diner mix that makes you feel comfortable in any attire. All the food is delicious, though please don't eat it all in one sitting (we all need to fit into subway seats occasionally after all). This is a place to eat with family and friends not to impress clients or dates. My greatest complaint was the loud live music they've started to bring in for brunches - it neither works for families nor the hangover crowd, both of which adore this place.…
Reliable neighborhood standby. Lots of strong feelings about this place, apparently, but I have to say that it's one of our local favorites. I admit there have been a couple of meals that disappointed me, but they were typically things that might have been on the overly-ambitious side for the kitchen. Gravy serves up a terrific breakfast or brunch--if you're lucky enough to get there on a day when there's a berry pancake special, look no further, because they're terrific. My experience with service has been mostly very good; there have been one or two less-than-stellar performers, but, hey, it ain't Alain Ducasse, so I can forgive. This is a comfortable place with decent food, and it's been a very welcome addition to the neighborhood.…
Might be the worst restaurant in Brooklyn. Gravy's numerical rating on Citysearch is missing ... perhaps an act of mercy? Gravy doesn't do anything right, which is too bad, because it's got a prime location and serves food later than most places in the area. Avoid at all costs and give your money to a place that actually cares to improve itself.…
average all the way, with terrible service!.
small menu selection, VERY small. good omelets, ok drinks, TERRIBLE service. My friend ordered a vanilla milkshake, got a Mimosa...! Service was slow and very unattentive.
it was ok decore, kinda dirty.
not crowded on a sat. around noon.…
Gravy was good to me.
Went on a Saturday night for a quick dinner around 10pm - too late for the dinner rush, but not quite late enough for the after-bar crowd so there weren't too many other people there (though I can
imagine a full house of annoying hipsters might be a huge turn-off).
The place is huge, tons of tables and cozy booths.
Our waitress was attentive, our food arrived quickly and correctly. The turkey burger stuffed with goat cheese was delicious, great fries, too.
There are good beers on tap, and cans of PBR are always appreciated!…
