Editorial Review for West Gray Cafe – by Eric Gerber
In Short
Situated between downtown and Montrose, the cafe is a hodge-podge of furniture and knickknacks. Most mornings, suits power-breakfast over biscuits and gravy alongside blue-collar workers attracted by early bird specials. A more bohemian clientele stops in for dinner. The round-the-clock breakfast menu includes eggs, pancakes, sausage and grits. The rest of the menu continues in that country-casual vein, with chicken and dumplings, chicken-fried steak and smothered steak. Homemade cobblers and pie are worth a late-night visit on their own.

I've passed by this place many times and always saw a good crowd on their patio. So I finally decided to try it on a Thursday afternoon. When I first walked in the place, my first impression of the place was that it looked run down but I never usually judge a book by its cover. No one greeted us so we asked one of their employee if we should seat ourselves and they just said yes and ran off with no smile. The place didn't look too busy, there were plenty of empty table, however, they did seemed to be short on staff. After 10 min of sitting down without a server to greet us I decided to get up and ask for a menu. When I asked a staff member, the first thing that came out of her mouth was there is a 30 minute wait for food....no 'hi, how are you'....no 'I will be right with you'....just a cold 'there is a 30 min wait for food'. Not feeling welcome at all, we decided to not even look at the menu and left. I understand that this is not a 5 star restaurant but I've been to plenty of small, in the hole restaurant and received great service. There is no reason to come here.
Pros: None
Cons: Service! Needs to retrain their staff to be friendlier and more welcoming to patrons.

I went here with a friend a couple of weeks ago during the day when it was not very busy. Since I only had coffee, I thought I would go back with my partner for a late night breakfast. The service was horrific. The waitress was downright rude, and gave us an attitude when we asked for silverware. Furthermore, when she FINALLY brought our food out, my meal was not edible. The sausage was burnt beyond description, and the biscuits appeared as though they had been microwaved. When I asked if I could send it back in exchange for another item off the menu, she rudely informed me that I would be charged extra. No apologies for the poor food quality, no effort to correct the issue - nothing. We will NOT be back. By the way, I have never left a review online - but I'm really disappointed in this place. It has so much potential - perhaps with a few changes in staffing they might achieve a successful business.
Pros: Great location
Cons: Poor service and poor food quality.
