It was a beautiful fall day so we made the drive to Mooresville to have lunch at Gray Brothers Cafeteria. We went in and the first thing I saw was a large fireplace - lovely! The restaurant was neat, very clean and beautifully decorated. There were several more fireplaces throughout the restaurant, which I loved. We got in the service line and the workers there were very kind and patient with us as we scanned the large selection of food. I finally settled on the fried chicken, au gratin potatoes and green beans. My husband also had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and a piece of cherry pie. When we were looking around for a table, a polite young man approached me and asked me if he could help me with my tray, which I GREATLY appreciated. He took it and carefully placed it on the table we selected. I thought this was a very nice touch. The chicken looked good, and it was well- seasoned but not as crispy as I like it. The bones inside were black - so it was Tyson chicken or some such, I'm sure. It was done, but again, not as well-done as I like. The au gratin potatoes were very, VERY cheesy - good, but a bit too rich for my taste. The green beans were well-seasoned and I enjoyed them. My husband thought the fried chicken was too salty, but I didn't find that to be the case. He liked the mashed potatoes and gravy. I took a bite of his cherry pie - he sprinkled sugar on it because he thought it was too tart, but I thought it was good and regretted not getting a piece of it myself. Perhaps a little ice cream on top of it would have been a nice addition. All in all, it was a good meal at a nice, homey restaurant with wonderful service. I would love to come back on a cold day when they might have the fireplaces lit.

I haven't been to Grays in a long time, so it was interesting to try again. It is cafeteria style so you immediately have to get in line with tray to pick out food. I got coleslaw, strawberry pie, dark fried chicken, green beans and mashed potatoes with gravy. The food is tasty and very filling. Plenty of group seating with homey fireplace decor.

3.5 overall stars. When in line, there was an odd smell but it went away as you walked down. Everything is priced individually- I got a slice of pie, chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. The price can seem a little high but you do get a nice portion. The food is tasty. You seat yourself and they have servers for refills but our server was sitting at a near table the whole time talking to them and only came for refills once and boxes at the end. Overall it's not a place I'm rushing to go to again and only come with family when they suggest it

Drove down to our old hunting grounds. It was a sad day and after the service we needed some comfort food. So what better to go for home cooked vittles than Grays!I had some barbecue ribs with a sweet but tangy sauce. My wife enjoyed the chicken parmigiana with garlic bread. The other offerings looked fantastic especially the pies and cakes! We hope to visit again when we are in the area.

This restaurant serves food cafeteria style. They have a huge parking lot and it consists of 2 sides. The front side of the restaurant is where you will find the kitchen style dining room, with tons of seating. The other side is where you can get to-go food. This part has its own special designated parking spots. I went to the dining part. This is where you go through a cafeteria line and sort through pies, entrees, sides, bread and drinks. I got the meatloaf, with sides of creamed potatoes and stuffing. Of course I got a slice of their pecan pie, since I had heard so much about their desserts.The staff there is very friendly and helpful. They have staff working the floor, cleaning tables and bringing people refill drinks and to-go containers. I found me a table after going through the line and started to dig in. My meal was mediocre at best, even for cafeteria food. It looked SOOOO much better than it tasted. The meatloaf was pretty bad. It had an odd taste to it. The stuffing was even worse. I could not even finish it. The deviled eggs were decent. I have had better and I have had worse.Then there was the pie. It was exquisite, well worth the price of admission. That is the only highlight of what was a blahhh meal. The pie definitely lived up to the hype. I highly recommend their pies.I found the food not only bland, but also a bit on the pricey end. I dropped $30 there. Oh well, at least I had the pie. I would probably check out another eatery, if I was considering this place. On the flip side though, I would run, not walk here, to get my hands on one of those pies (they are pricey too, though).

Excellent comfort food! Tried this place for the first time. It is a cool rainy day and had the taste for something different and warm. Arrived around 12:30 pm on a Sunday and the parking lot was packed but still plenty of places to park. Upon entering, there was a bit of a line but it moved very quickly. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, it is like MCL where you pick up a tray, your silverware and nap ins and pick you dessert first, then your main entrees and then your drink. So much to choose from ranging from chicken, noodles, meatloaf, roast beef, ribs and more. Lots of veggies and everything tastes like Grandma prepared it. Although it was packed there was plenty of seating to pick from. There is a server that comes over to refill your drinks and provide condiments should you need it. Definitely a place to visit if you are in the area or if you don't mind driving a little ways!

Always great food and service!!!! We come here quite often on meatloaf nights (Wednesday and Sundays) and it's always very good. Along with their meat dishes, the salads, sides and rolls are all made from scratch and amazing. The quality has never been subpar. Most of the wait staff are very attentive and kind. Definitely a family style restaurant with a country and honey feel with a buffet of great food. You can't go wrong choosing this well known staple restaurant in Indy. If you come in on a Wednesday you also get a free slice of any pie you choose. Excellent place to go and try out!!!!
