Gray Dog Diner

We visited the dinner the day after St Patrick's Day and it was a BUSY Sunday morning! We waited probably 10-15 minutes to get a seat around 1045am and sat at the little barstools. It took a while to get some service but the staff was friendly and was simply so busy we could see why service was a bit slow.

After waiting what seemed like another 10-15 mintutes to put in our order it probably took 30 min just to get our french fries and another 10 minutes later to get the omlet and breakfast bowl we ordered.

The food was hot, fresh and delicious and we were happy with the outcome. We could see that the staff in the kitchen was also super busy and it looked like part of the craziness was a non-stop flood of Uber Eats orders they had to make while trying to also cook for a full diner of patrons.

All in all because the food was good it was worth 4 stars but if the next time we try and visit, there's that much craziness going on we'll go to another local diner because it won't be worth the hour and a half time it took to walk in and then walk out.

Other than some things outside of the businesses control we did have one complaint. My wife and I noticed multiple times were some of the waiting staff and others in the kitchen handled toast and spreading butter with bare hands and may have also handled cash or other items without washing hands. They were doing everything they could to keep the place moving and a positive attitude and friendly service but seeing that was a bit off-putting and I hope that isn't the usual way they prepare or handle the bread.

We love supporting local establishments and will go back again but now we know wether to walk in or if we're better off going somewhere else comparable like That Place To Be.
