    Chicken Fried Steak
    Michelle L.

    We've driven by and finally stopped in for breakfast. We both had chicken fried steak and enjoyed the steak & gravy very much! The eggs were real eggs, not liquid product. Ask for the hashbrowns to be crispy and you have a winner! The service was great - very family oriented. Plus, raisin toast for a win!

    Western omelet, wheat toast, hashbrowns

    Excellent service. There was a short wait and our waitress (who was maybe the owner) brought us a cup of coffee while we waited! The food was all very good. Biscuits and gravy, waffles, hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, and bacon was all very good. We are from out of town and we will definitely come here when we come back to Cedar Falls! Very friendly people who know great customer service which is hard to find these days! Also the prices are reasonable.

    In the area for work .. yes I do a lot of traveling for work! This is one of the best places we've been to for breakfast. Not pictured was hash browns with cheese that were fantastic. The pancakes were light & fluffy .. the strawberry's were nice & sweet. Definitely give Gravy's a try if you're in the area! You won't regret it!

    Chicken fried steak - delicious!

    Unbelievable- a gem of a restaurant. Great food, great service, fair prices. The omelettes, the chicken fried steak and the waffles are all excellent. Family run and a step back in time to when diners were the norm and not the exception. If you've not been here before - don't hesitate to visit. Most highly recommended!

    This is my favorite diner in town. The staff is always so friendly, the food is amazing, and the coffee is one of the best I've had in town.

    I can't even begin to estimate how many burritos I consumed here while I was a student at UNI. I…read morevisited while back in town visiting a professor of mine from my time in college, and I left a just a little disappointed in the taste (or lack thereof) in my nostalgic order. Back in the day, Greenhouse definitely did something different with their chicken. If my memory serves me correctly, they used to have seasoned, cubed chicken pieces, but it seems they have moved to a watery, shredded chicken instead. The other ingredients seemed to be the same, fresh items, but the new chicken was a big disappointment for me. The food here used to consistently hit 9+ out of 10 for me, but during my last visit it was more in the 6-7 range. Giving this spot a 4/5 rating since I'm hoping my last stop in was a fluke. Service and ambiance here is always on point!

    This was better than expected for a quick service meal…read more After a long travel day, I was hungry and tired, and this salad hit the spot. The steak was a little dry, but other than that, it was a great meal. I got the Buffalo salad but added steak instead of chicken. The dressing wasn't fresh or homemade-tasting, so that was a bummer. It was a $15 salad, so for the price and convenience, I would come back again. The girl at the counter was welcoming, and since it was my first time, she explained how the menu worked.

    Visited here for lunch, and got the special of the day- turkey BBQ sandwich and a side. The price…read morewas right, $10, but I felt like the quality of the food was so-so. The turkey was less than tender and lacked flavor, the green beans were stringy and over-cooked. I'm willing to try this place again- maybe their beef, chicken, or pork is of better quality and flavor, and maybe their other sides are better, but their turkey and green beans didn't sit with me too well. Final note- the atmosphere of the place and counter service was fine, so plusses on that. Three stars for mediocre food quality- I expect better from a barbeque joint, especially located in the Midwest.

    Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.
