Ya know when somebody describes something to you and they say,”My meal was the size of a football!”, or “The meat was huge, like a baby’s head!”….well, maybe not a baby’s head, but you get what I mean.  Usually when this is being said, it’s really a slight exaggeration.  However at Gravy the size of the omelettes are REALLY the size of a SMALL FOOTBALL!!  It was crazy.  I think the MEAT-O-METER’s eyes popped out of his head when he saw his food.  (true exaggeration)

What we ordered:  Omelette w/ choice of 3 ingredients; bacon, sausage and smoked salmon.  Pork chop and eggs.  Both dishes were served w/ the choice of fruit, potatoes or hash browns.

How we ordered it:  The choice of ingredients for the omelette was really diverse.  There was a list of cheeses, list of veggies and list of meats to add.  This made it super easy to order Paleo.  We ordered the omelette w/ smoked salmon, double-wide bacon and sausage.  Pork and eggs were as is.  Both dishes ordered w/ bowl of fruit.

What we got:

Ummm, let’s see that again….

 

Cost:  Omelette – $9.25, Pork chops and eggs – $11.75

Quality:  Everything was very tasty.   The smoked salmon was a bit dry b/c it was cooked a little too long, but apparently you can also get the salmon on the side if you like, so that it doesn’t cook any longer while in the omelette.  I’d like to see how big that portion really is!  Sausage and bacon was excellent as well. 

Quantity:  The salmon in the omelette was literally a whole filet. We had never seen anything so ginormous!  The pic pretty much speaks for itself.  The Pork Chops were perfect!  I was definitely stuffed and very satisfied. 

MEAT-O-METER says!

 

First meal in a long time where the MEAT-O-METER barely finished!  It was a struggle but he did it and he was proud.  It takes a lot to make him stuffed to the gills.  Warning, do NOT go here on the weekend.  If you go, be prepared to wait.  During the weekdays, you are golden!  They’re open until 3pm, so get in for a late breakfast and notice you will not have to eat for many many many hours.

Yay for Gravy!
