The Grey Dog

“Prawn and popper tacos are awesome (come with a cute salad), turkey burger is a great deal with TWO burger patties and fries included.”

“We ended up both getting the "Grey Dog Breakfast" which was basically a breakfast combo (eggs, meat, potatoes, pancakes or French toast).”

“It's partly self-service (you get the cutlery, napkins and tap water yourself).”

  1. OMG their salad was BOMB. I have never had a better salad. Smoked Salmon with two poached eggs and avocado.

    It was delicious. cut the poached egg on top of the salad and there is your dressing.

    This is such a simple dish but so amazingly tasty.

  2. Skeptical at first, I am fast becoming a fan of Grey Dog. Sure, the servers are all sporting 90s college fashion and impossibly chipper attitudes, but the service is good and things move along nicely. We came in right around the time it opens, snagging a nice table, but would probably not wait in line to brunch here.

    Breakfast/brunch prices are good and the portions large. I ordered the "POACHED EGGS & AVOCADO SALAD OVER ARUGULA WITH SMOKED SALMON, FRESH LEMON, & OLIVE OIL." It was good and felt pretty healthy, with the arugula salad providing a nice, light bed for the rest of it.

    Others had french toast and egg sandwiches and everyone was happy. It would be nice if the waiters walked around to do the free coffee refills, but it was easy enough to get them from the counter.

  3. Interesting. In a good way.
    Very preppy (is that word still used?), and the crowd seemed to be youngish.

    Not THE most amazing food I've ever eaten (quesadilla & brown rice bowl) but it wasn't bad and in context ($40 for 2 people) is why it achieves its 4* rating.

    I'd recommend it for a quick bite to eat undoubtedly, given the location, I'd argue its astonishing value for money.

  4. Great neighborhood spot- friendly service, delicious egg dishes and sandwiches. Have visited multiple times and will continue to do so.

  5. Solid, unpretentious brunch place if you can get a table. You order at the front (like you would at a cafe) and you take a seat, and wait for your food to come to you. Most everything else is self-serve — there's a table further down that has water cups/jug, silverware, and napkins. Everyone working there had an ultra-cool urban hipster chic thing going on, so you can enjoy their stylish air while you sip your extra-black coffee and ponder your life choices.

    It was super crowded when we tried to go on a Sunday afternoon. The three of us ended up sitting at the bar stools by the window, and it was a little hard talking to/hearing each other. The food tasted good though, and plentiful. I got the eggs any-style (I got em poached) and I wasn't able to finish everything.

  6. There I was in NYC for work and about to head across town to try to hit a museum before I left when I realized I was dying for a cup of tea.  Okay maybe not dying, and not even actually in caffeine withdrawal but in serious want of a cup of tea and nearby on yelp was The Grey Dog.  

    Once inside, I found a selection of iced tea unparalleled outside the south, a decent hot tea selection, and to my surprise, a couple of gluten-free baked goods.  Service was kind and friendly, and I got myself an iced green tea, a gluten-free cookie with lemon-rosemary icing, and was thrilled with both.

  7. I met up with my friend Sabra E. at The Grey Dog for coffee when I was in town. I picked it for pure convenience, but it was a cute place, comfortable with a bustling, warm, villagey vibe. We got a table and ordered up at the counter. The barista was nice.

    I got a big mug of cappuccino, and it hit the spot on a drizzly day. I'm not a habitual coffee drinker, but I thought it was a good cup, and I do love me some milk foam. Sabra ordered a club sandwich and wasn't too happy with it. It's possible this place is better for coffee than for food. It did feel more like a coffee shop than a restaurant.

    Anyway, I was happy with The Grey Dog and would visit again if I'm ever in need of a coffee place in this part of town. I liked my cappuccino and had a lovely time relaxing and catching up with my friend.

  8. We were searching on Yelp for a place that serves American food and found The Grey Dog. Inside the restaurant looked vintage, almost like it was supposed to be in a small old town area. There weren't any waiters or waitresses to serve you, you have to go up to the register and order.

    Without the servers is probably why the old looking wooden tables looked a bit dirty and sticky.

    We went ahead and ordered a chicken sandwich with fries, seared tuna taco and fish tacos with a side of arugula salad for 4 people because we weren't crazy hungry at that moment.

    The portion of the food are huge and we couldn't finish it. The fish tacos taste fresh (had better ones) but the salad was very bitter and we ended up throwing it out. The seared tuna wasn't bad however the chicken sandwich was really dry and didn't taste that good.

    Overall the food quality is like 3 stars. Not too crazy about it. Food was neither white nor black, it was somewhat gray just like how they named it "The Gray Dog". I'll probably stop by again if I am in the area or if I'm really hungry.
