DESCRIPTION: A good alternative to Gray's when the lines are out into the parking lot and you are pushed for time. The food is good, service is friendly and there are comfortable seating areas.

It is what it is.....
DESCRIPTION: My daughter had a doctor's appointment nearby. We were to meet with my friend and her daughter for lunch after the appointment. We decided on the MCL Cafeteria for it's location. The atmosphere is pleasant with spacious rooms. I was taken aback when I realized you are to take a tray, slide it down the railing, and place your order along the way. It's primarily alacarte, although they do have "meal deals". There is a waitress who attends to your needs once you've taken your tray to your table. The food was on the "good side" of fair. The restaurant seems to appeal to the senior citizen crowd for it's reasonable prices. Over all, it is what it is....."cafeteria food".

The Best
DESCRIPTION: Gray Brothers IS without a doubt a class act! I have never had a meal there I didn't like! Honestly! I love the food, the decor just everything about it! If anyone asks about where to go and eat, I tell them you won't go wrong with Grays! The service is also great they are good hard workers! I was also very glad when the carry-out was added! It was so helpful on the days when you're in a hurry! Always a pleasant experience dining at Grays!!

Great food for everyone in the fam!
DESCRIPTION: I've been in Bloomington, IN for 6 yrs. now. We first ate at this cafeteria on our way to Bloomington from the airport. It was the best cafeteria I have come across in all my travels and very seldom do we let a trip to Indy not end with a meal at Gray Bros. We have made a special trip to dine out at Gray Bros. many times. Looking forward to a day when we have a local Gray Bros. Cafeteria in Bloomington.

DESCRIPTION: In the realm of restaurants, this one is KING...I can't critique the food, it's excellent...I can't critique the service, it is without comparison, and the facilities are immaculate...The only improvement would be franchising, and only if they maintained the current quality standards.

DESCRIPTION: The cuisine is always fresh and presented in a favorable way. The wait staff is friendly and ready to refill your drink or fetch another food choice for you. The behind the scenes workers are just that, no staff hanging around the dining room, very pleasant. Good food is hard to find these days and Gray's provides good tasting, reasonably priced, nutritional selections. A must visit!

need accoustic tiles in ceiling
DESCRIPTION: The food is great - but they really need accoustical tiles in the ceiling - when the dining room is full- which it usually is - the noise level rises to an uncomfortable level.

This Place is Awesome!
DESCRIPTION: I have been going to Gray's for about 20 years now. I have never had anything I didn't like there. My favorites are fried chicken and noodles. They are the best! We live in Plainfield & my extended family goes there quite often to celebrate birthdays & special days. We all love it - everyone from age 4 thru 70 has something wonderful to eat. The prices are very reasonable & it is very clean. In all these years I have never had a bad experience at Gray's. You can't go wrong. They have all kinds of food and it is all delicious!

Disappointed
DESCRIPTION: My wife and I went to the new Gray Brothers in Bloomington, monday, 6-23. It was our first visit. On the positive side, the food quality was great, the decor though good was a bit overdone. The food serving staff was very good and we were served promptly without waiting for THEM. There is so much unutilized space. What exactly does the lady at the desk at the front entrance do? She did not speak let alone greet us as she did others. The cashier was friendly with the customers behind me and my wife, BUT, she never said a word to us other than the total amount. After we were seated, we saw several people being aided by several helpers, but, no one was around to help me and my wife...at no time! Our waitress or hostess, or whatever she was, finally come to our table after spending a good ten minutes cleaning off another table that had only two occupants before. She was so slow I do not understand with unemployment as it is why better people cannot be hired. We got one refill of our drinks. My ice tea was out of ice. Did she even offer me more ice?...NO! Trying to get her attention was next to impossible unless you were a co-worker which she gabbed with most of the time we were there. As we left the lady at the desk was dusting the decor, never said good-bye, thank you, or anything.....she did greet some others who left in front and behind us gushing all over them and invited them back. Exactly what is the big deal about Gray Brothers in Bloomington? Same thing as MCL only larger in my book. Will I return.....Depends on whether anyone of responsibility from Gray Bros contacts me as I am not ashamed and do not care to hide behind anomity. If you are a responsible person from Gray Bros. in Bloomington, please, email me.

I Love Gray's!!
DESCRIPTION: I only get to visit Gray's every now and then when I visit my wonderful in-laws, Bob & Fran Hankins in Mooresville. I love the food - especially the shrimp, and the cheesecake is also wonderful. Everything I've had has been just great. Wonderful selection and really good service. Nice people.

Satisfaction guaranteed
DESCRIPTION: Even though I have lived near Mooresville all of my life [graduate], the fact that people come from so far away just to eat there should speak for itself. Today I noticed an 84f plate, which I know comes from 150 mi. away. Also the portions they give you are huge. Pie slices that you wouldn't believe the size. If you go away hungry you must be an elephant.

Great family restaurant
DESCRIPTION: I have been eating at Gray's since I was a youngster, over 25 years. I have never had a bad experience. Like many of the other people have written, we have had many family gatherings at Gray's over the years. When I was in the military it was always the first place I wanted to eat when I came home. I now live in Alaska, and when I come home to visit next week it will be where my family gathers to visit with me for the first time in 3 long years. Gray's is part of our family, and always will be. I know what every memeber of my immediate family will order by heart

Grays has changed
DESCRIPTION: Well, Gray Brother Cafe. Was great at on time. They don't belive in change. All the lady's still wear dresses from back in the 50's white socks an tennis shoes. They have poor lighting (yellow) so it is hard for us older folks to see. They do still have great food. But it is like they rush you to get you through the line. (MORE MONEY FOR THEM) All I can say, is if you plan on going there Make sure you know what you want to eat before you get up to the hot food area. Day time is best if you have a hard time seeing.
