This place has went downhill bad. It truly gives “southern” food a bad name - it does not taste like southern food made at a “mom and pop” restaurant. However, if you’re busy & decide “I want some southern type food” it’s a ok choice… actually it’s about the best you will get in this area but that’s not saying much. Everytime I get food to-go & I leave the restaurant something is wrong with my order. Previously they didn’t give me one of my burgers but when I called back they made it right so no big deal. Then today I ordered Mac & cheese and collards but got Mac & cheese and corn…. From a can… but tasted like it’s never been warmed up. If you decided to still try this place just be careful with the parking lot. Where the pavement ends & the “dirt” begins there’s a hole that’ll send your
I feel as if "southern mom and pop" joints are becoming code for bland and uninspired. My southern grandma knew where this spice cabinet was. I don't want to be too harsh on the place, there is absolutely nothing to complain about other than the food because the prices and staff are great. However it you are looking for a place that knocks your socks off, this isn't it. For breakfast I feel like it's easier to get away with uninspired foods but that being said, with so much competition in the area I don't know how this one stays alive. The 70 and older crowd are probably a big reason this place stays busy and I believe that's just fine. This place has found its niche and is owning it, I wish them all the luck. So in summary- this place will get the job done, but you won't look back and be
39° with a 15mph wind and we were told to wait outside or in the car. We looked forward to returning here after a great experience last year on Monday with turkey and dressing. The welcoming was less than friendly and the server was curt with us. It was difficult enough to find a parking spot that was t in a pothole to walk back to the car in the cold. Perhaps enclosing the outside waiting area like “The Shack” has done and provide heaters and comfort while customers who have sought you out are waiting. Perhaps not arguing with customers right off the cuff and making them feel welcome. Clearly, the locals are treated much nicer and faster service than out of state people. The food was average. Hushpuppies were cold, turkey was salty, and our server never returned.
Just ok. $3.50 for a beverage was crazy Had to ask for spoon Not much gravy on my mashed, sad face. Exit sign said, Welcome Back Locals, not being a local, I took offense.
I'm almost afraid to tell y'all how fantastic everything was at Gravy! 🤣 OMG we have finally found it. The very best place around!! 🙌🏻 I ordered the fried shrimp dinner (the menu says their most popular dish) which to my delight arrived as a huge mountain of delicious shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, lightly battered with a nice crispy texture. Not breaded! Yay! The shrimp had a fresh delicious flavor which is so often missing when ordering shrimp. So many shrimp, I couldn't stop smiling, and couldn't eat but half. The leftovers are going to be a nice lunch tomorrow. Also with your meal, you get to pick two sides!! Yes please! I picked fries which were cooked perfectly, crispy outside and tender inside, and...get this...PEACH COBBLER!!!! Oh, my!! 😋 The best cobbler this southern g
