    Chicken fried flat iron steak and hasbrowns
    Joel D.

    I arrived at 7:30 and was promptly seated. The front of house were welcoming and friendly. I order my usual black coffee. I also ordered the Country Fried Steak with hash browns and eggs over medium. The portions were generous. The eggs were perfectly cooked and had beautiful golden yolks that flowed just right. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and were warm and tender on the inside. Do not get me wrong - the steak was very good! The gravy was top notch and breading was flavorful and had a nice texture. And the steak was super tender. But, I'm still going to quibble with descriptions and the use of the phrase "hand pounded" - it is definitely hand breaded, it may have been patted, but it was most definitely not "pounded". Again the steak was very good! But some people may be put off with the liver flavor. It was distinctive but I happen to like liver so it was no problem for me. My guess is that the steak is pre-cooked in a sous vide and held there to speed things up and keep the consistency. So it is possible that these were just started a bit early and held there. It just means that it was a little higher in iron than it would have otherwise been.

    Hashbrowns are as big as the whole plate so if this is something you crave in the morning, you have to come here. Overall, most plates required salt, but they're gravy is amazing and definitely aside you should get with any order. There is with meat and without meat options. Generous portion size, long wait time

    I've been to Gravy a few times now, always in the middle of the week, and it's quick and easy to get a table. This place is comfort food done right. The service has always been fast, friendly, and super attentive without feeling rushed. Everything comes out quickly, which is perfect because I am always starving when I arrive. Portions are generous, and everything I've had has been absolutely amazing. The biscuits and gravy are easily some of the best I've had. Rich, savory, and super satisfying. It's officially my new go-to spot anytime I need biscuits and gravy. Although the standout to me was the banana chocolate pancake. It was unreal! Soft, fluffy, and packed with banana baked right into the batter, giving it this warm, naturally sweet flavor in every bite. It's indulgent in the best way possible and definitely something I'd order again. This is such a laid back breakfast spot, so this just wrapped everything together. Overall, everything here is just so good, it's one of those places where you leave full, happy, and already thinking about what you're going to order next time.

    Chicken fried steak with over easy eggs and the house potatoes

    One of the best breakfast I've ever had! Food was incredible on all points, the service was friendly but not the obnoxious fake type, and it's a laid back place for a quiet breakfast for someone who was barely waking up! It's obviously in the name, but the gravy was incredible and the chicken fried steak was a legit piece of steak in batter that didn't just fall apart. The home style potatoes had amazing grilled onions and were hand cut, and the Greco Style omelet was a flavor bonanza! Can't wait to go back!

    Ate here a while ago and realized I never finished or published my review, here goes. Really enjoyed the food here, wait took about an hour though, it was a sunday around 12pm, we were seated at the bar around 12:50ish. Service inside and food was quick though! Huge portions of food, good quality and prices match the quality and quantity. My boyfriend got a hash scramble of sorts, I typically go sweeter for breakfast so I had the french toast. Portions were huge of course, we were easily able to share both and I still didn't even fully finish mine. The french toast here is made with challah bread which is definitely one of my favorites! Also I ordered the 2 piece plate but if they're small they said they give you the extra piece anyway. Very generous. Would love to return here, just know that timing was a thing because it gets packed here very quickly, unless that has died down, but it was also a sunday anyway.

    Outside - Waiting Rules + Takeout

    It's been a fruitful two decades for Gravy, their food has been so widely acclaimed that they've become one of the most recognized brands / establishments in Portland. There is practically a wait during all hours of the day, which is a testament to their popularity and success. The consistency has paid off: they're still one of the tastiest options for breakfast and American comfort food. The place is understandably on the smaller side, with just enough seating for a handful of groups, lots of natural lighting, and an open kitchen that is buzzing throughout the day. Parking is all streetside, whether it's paid for along Mississippi, or a couple of blocks of residential parking. The neighborhood has evolved over the last couple of decades and Gravy has been a big driver to bringing relevance and gentrification to the area. Waiting is a big part of the experience unfortunately. There are no reservations or a waiting area inside, so folks (and their completed parties) should be directly outside. Don't feel like waiting? Give their takeout a spin. Call them directly (#1) but be sure to check out their latest menu online. The portions are excellent. Most plates are heavy and hearty, with the presentation on point. The hashbrowns are indeed crispy and uniquely shaped in a way where they remind me of a pancake in shredded potato form. The corned beef hash is made in house and is tasty as it is colorful. I appreciate the fluffiness of the pancakes, the heartiness of the omelets, and their monte cristo. My steak (a la steak and eggs) wasn't cooked to my liking, but I was still happy to eat it anyway. This isolated paragraph is dedicated to their biscuits and gravy, but really on the latter. It has the essence of the breakfast sausage, is perfectly creamy, and utterly indulgent to the point where I can say it's one of the best I've ever had. While the biscuit is soft, fluffy, and is respectable on its own, the gravy is absolutely what makes the dish nearly flawless. In fact, if they sold it by the bottle, I'd demand a jug. It is the kind of semi-salty gooeyness that elevates any of their breakfast plates. I want to drown it in my hashbrowns and eggs, dip my toast in it, and schlop it all up like no one is looking. (#2) Prices are in the sub $20 range for each plate. This is by no means budget friendly for anyone but there are other things to know: $2 is charged for split plates, there is no more than 2 cards per table, and an 18% gratuity is automatically added for parties of 6 or more. (#3) Kevin was an outstanding waiter. He was often behind the counter and handling multiple tables all on his own. The rest of the staff really needs to pick up the pace, since many tables sat unclaimed since they weren't cleared and cleaned quickly enough. Just getting on top of this would cut the wait times for many, and allow others to enjoy what most folks eating are already aware of. However, good patience is a virtuous thing, in which if most patrons have it, then there is always something excellent waiting beyond the Gravy doors. __________ (#1) 503-287-8800. (#2) No judgements, please. (#3) Thank goodness for no sales tax in Oregon right?

    Very small breakfast spot, it had a wait time but I can definitely see why. The food was so delicious, I've never had veggie gravy before and it blew my mind how flavorful it was! The French toast was so soft and fluffy, I definitely recommend getting one of their sweets as their pancakes also looked so good! Everyone there was so sweet and attentive. Would definitely come back again.

    Ok, seriously, oatmeal crème brûlée??? In YOUR CHOICE of decadent flavors??? Uhhhh, yeAH! Sign me UP! While hubs enjoyed 3 strips of bacon with 2 over easy eggs and house made biscuit, I was ALL ABOUT the oat meal bowl. A HUGE serving of Bob's Red Mill oatmeal and local berries brûlée(d?) with a delicious sweet crusty dome over the mixed berries and oats. Service was friendly, efficient and executed with smiles galore. This cozy spot is comfortable and inviting and the food was delicious and plentiful. Would def come back when visiting this area again. Cheers! "CC"

    Food was phenomenal! Service was good and accommodating even though it was busy. Cozy breakfast spot good for any day. I got the Dalise scramble and a short stack of strawberry pancakes

    Scramble with hash browns and biscuit.

    My wife and I are breakfast food fanatics. So when we came upon gravy, we had to give it a try. Since we were in a bit of a time crunch, we got our food to-go. They were super busy but took or order right away. The server was really friendly giving the place an over all local diner vibe. It only took them like 15min to make the food which was also awesome. Their food reminds me of one of those local diners I used to go to as a kid. Big portions of decent breakfast food. The scramble we got was gigantic with a huge frisbee of hash browns in top. The biscuit was butter and fluffy. Their French toast was good but there were some areas where it was undercooked. Other than that it was a solid meal.

    Matt S.

    You will not leave this place hungry. Portions are HUGE! Food was totally solid. Our server was excellent - it was busy but he was so attentive consistently refilling our waters and coffee. Ambiance is nice and informal. It's a small space and is very popular so there will most likely be a line. Get there early to avoid the extra long waits!

    For my first visit to Gravy I had to get the biscuits and gravy. Dang! The gravy is so yummy. I was happy they were generous with the gravy serving. Very unique artwork is in the restaurant. I was by myself so I spent a lot of time pondering over the different pieces.

    Corned Beef Hash
    Jackie L.

    I have gone to Gravy for the last several years for brunch and it never disappoints. The southern comfort menu, massive portions, and reasonable prices cannot be beat. The restaurant is located on the Mississippi. The whole party should be there after waitlisting before the staff will seat you. The crowning jewels they offer are definitely the corned beef hash and French toast. The corned beef chunks are large and sizable in between the pan fried onions and potatoes. It's always well seasoned and satiating. Now onto the French toast. It is made with challah bread. It's decadently dense but thick and fluffy. It's too too eggy or sweet. It can stand on its own without additional syrup. Lastly, even though it was packed, our server was on point, always checking in, refilling our tea cups, and rearranging our plates to make room. Gravy is my trusted go to!

    Ask the Community - Gravy

    Do they take reservations for parties if 8?

    As far as I know, they do not. Once you get there, all parties must put their name down on the list. Best to go early or after the morning brunch rush.

    Is there outdoor seating at Gravy?

    No, there is not outdoor seating at this time.

    Instagram page for this?

    No idea. Just try it out!

    So the gravy can be vegan, is it safe to say they can come with vegan biscuits?

    No

    I came here for brunch and to check out their offering for the Mercury's Sandwich Week and I was…read morenot disappointed! The food cart is located in a little gated square, along with several other carts. The central dining area is great-- space is plentiful, there are tented and untented tables, and it is very clean. The food cart space is located on Albina, which means you can easily make an afternoon of your outing. There are a ton of small shops and boutiques around with pretty much anything you can imagine. Chubby Bunny doesn't have anyone outside to take your order. Instead, you order on a big tablet and they text you when your food is ready. I'll admit I actually hate ordering on tablets because I miss getting to chat with a human being, but that was the only negative thing about this experience and I know a lot of people vastly prefer the no contact options. I got the Sandwich Week Breakfast Sandwich (fake eggs and meat with a spicy sauce on a pretzel bun) and a hash brown. It was INCREDIBLE. I was a little skeptical to try the fake eggs (I am a vegetarian, not a vegan), but I couldn't tell a difference at all. I get why they call themselves "accidentally vegan"-- it absolutely tasted like the real deal. The sandwich was large, flavorful, and the sauce had such an excellent zing. The hash brown was perfectly crispy. This was a great meal and for $10, it was a great deal too. We will absolutely return.

    I saw that it was sandwich week in Portland this week. I love the affordable food themes that have…read morebeen going on! I did a filter for which restaurants are offering a vegan sandwich for $10! I have heard of Chubby Bunny, but until now, I have not tried them out. They are a food truck located in a pod on Alberta Street. I was able to park close by in the neighborhood. When I entered the pod, I found Chubby Bunny right away. I was planning on paying with cash, but I saw a sign to use the kiosk. The kiosk was handy, but pay with a card. I thought oh well. But when I went to the window, I saw a sign to ring the bell if you were picking up an order, paying cash or had questions. I decided to get another sandwich to go, so I rang the bell and paid cash for it. When my first sandwich was ready, they called my name. I sat at a small outdoor table next to the food truck. The Nice Bunny, which was the special for sandwich week, was really good! It consisted of Fried Spamm, egg, melted provolone cheese, Creole mustard, on a toasted pretzel bun. 100% Secretly Vegan. It was really satisfying! I definitely plan on returning to try other menu items!

Both times I've only stopped by for pick up, so I cannot really comment about the dining-in. Although, the place does appear very clean. And there are plenty of tables for dining-in as well as a pretty large patio area. As for service, it's always been with a smile, so no issues picking up. The Lunch Combo Sandwiches that I've tried: ~ Roasted Turkey ($16.50) with good sized turkey slices, smaller bacon slices, some cheddar, sweet slices apple, some arugula (meh), and a tasty pesto aioli. All served on a heavy ciabatta hoagie. Also with a dill pickle spear and some Spicy Dill Pickle chips. The sandwich was very thick. The ciabatta was a bit soft, but dense enough to hold things together. Loved it! ~ Second try, it was 'a must' that I order the Reuben ($16.50). Which came with good slices of pastrami, Swiss cheese nice and melted, some kraut, and house Russian dressing on "marble rye." YES, MARBLE RYE!!! I despise pastrami sammies with regular oat bread lol. Better Half does it right! I only wish it were more wet versus being a clean sandwich. Again, this is definitely filling, and now I understand why this place servers half a sandwich. Next time I'm goin' for something adventurous like their Pork Mojo or a Jackfruit Mojo sammie. Maybe. Check them out!
