History of Gravy Wells
Founded in 1985 by chef Martha Wells, Gravy Wells began as a small roadside stand. The signature brown gravy drew local attention almost immediately.
Word spread through nearby communities and travelers alike. Today, Gravy Wells operates multiple locations regionally.
Chef Wells believed that exceptional gravies could transform simple ingredients into memorable meals. She traveled across Europe to learn meatstock techniques and seasoning balances.
Those techniques inform every gravy recipe we serve today. The original scanty stand has evolved into a modern dining establishment.
Our commitment to quality remains unchanged since day one. Each new location starts with a community tasting event.
We listen closely to regional tastes and incorporate them into limited-time specialties. This spirit of collaboration has defined our growth for nearly four decades.
Menu Highlights
Signature Gravies: Brown Beef, Classic Turkey, Mushroom Merlot, and Vegan Herb. Each gravy is slow-cooked and seasoned to depth.
They pair exquisitely with proteins, pastas, and vegetables. Our customers often sample multiple gravies in a single meal.
House Breads: Buttermilk Biscuits, Cornbread Muffins, and Rosemary Focaccia. Freshly baked each day, these breads are ideal for soaking up any gravy.
Lightly salted and buttery notes complement the robust sauces. Gluten-free options are available upon request.
Seasonal Specials: Pumpkin Sage Gravy, Summer Tomato Basil, and Spiced Apple Chutney. Rotating quarterly, these items reflect local harvests.
They provide exciting limited-time choices for returning guests. Be sure to ask your server about current specials.
