Gray's - Minneapolis

Capability to stipulate upstairs dining at Grays should be available on reservation.

One of the worst brunch buffet's I've been to. Not many options, eggs were cold and rubbery, bacon was overdone, strange pasta salads didn't belong there, and the desserts tasted like they opened up Little Debbie treats and served them. Overpriced for the options. It's a shame because before the new ownership, the brunch buffet was really great when it was The Loring.

Such a cool building but fries were overdone and cold, burger too salty, bun forgettable unlike the bread from the artichoke dip which was delicious.

A unique and large venue. Took a minute to find the hostess stand which is set quite a ways inside the main door. Wait staff was quite nice and prompt except for when I questioned if I was supposed to get bread with my salad. The first wait person never came back after asking so I asked the other person. She did have to look into it but found the menu does state that but it is not something they've been doing. Really no biggee, but not sure why first person just gave up on it. Burger and fries were really good, well done The Cobb salad was satisfying but not really covered in the typical cobb salad toppings. The only meat was cut up thinly sliced deli ham. I can't recall now if there were tomatoes... Still good and the blue cheese dressing was yummy, but not sure I'd call it the traditional cobb. Maybe a nod to a cobb would be a better name. Some students were using the locale as a study spot and there were some couples, small groups and parent/student patrons. I'd recommend this for a meal with a your student if you are visiting the U, or just happen to be looking for a place to eat in the area. I saw they have a large coffee menu and a full bar, as well.

Great spot! Definitely on the pricey side, but had a great brunch with the family
