Menu
The restaurant Gravy operates on Mississippi Avenue in the north Portland part of the Boise neighborhood. It serves breakfast and lunch and is known primarily as a brunch establishment.[1] The Oregonian has described Gravy as a "rustic" cafe with "a farmhouse feel", mixed tableware, and bar stools.[2] A guide book by Moon Publications described the interior as "Portland thrift store" and the clientele as "young, tattooed and artistic".[3]
The menu has been described as American cuisine and comfort food.[4] It includes eggs (and egg sandwiches), biscuits and gravy, French toast,[4] hashes,[5] and pancakes.[1] One scramble has feta, mushroom, and spinach.[6] Sides include bacon, ham, sausage, and hash browns. The Dalise omelette has bacon, ham, sausage, cheddar cheese, mushroom, peppers, and onion,[7] and the Greco omelette has fontina, mushroom, spinach, and tomato. The steak and eggs comes with rib eye; the restaurant also serves versions with chicken-fried steak or pork loin. Other breakfast options include corned beef hash,[8] oatmeal brulée,[9][10] roast beef, smoked salmon,[11] a Monte Cristo sandwich, and coffee by Cellar Door.[12]
