What people say, in short
Gravy on North Mississippi draws repeated breakfast recommendations, especially for biscuits and gravy. One diner particularly praises the hash browns, and another describes generous diner-style food with leftovers. The recurring trade-off is waiting: several diners like it despite busy tables or lines and suggest arriving early. A biscuit enthusiast found its version okay rather than exceptional. Vegetarian options receive a positive report, while a separate commenter is uncertain whether older vegan choices remain.
