Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2026-05-15 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-05-22 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-05-29 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-05 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-12 12:00 - 13:30, 2026-06-19 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Thanks, guys.

30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinnie our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

We did this last year and really had a blast! Hamdan is once again manning the grill as we frolic in the great outdoors. Sounds pretty darn good to me! This year we’ve reserved Shelter# 8 for our great group. It’s BIGGER! IT’S BETTER! IT’S CLOSER TO THE REST ROOMS (See? We DO listen!)! 😀

HELL NO, WE WON’T GO!” So, be sure to join us at 105th and Metcalf with your fellow PTKC rebels! The food is fine, prices are reasonable, the coffee is hot and there’s a bunch of guys talkin’ away like crazy! Plus I finally subscribed to AARP so I get a discount! Nothing is sacred here so come and enjoy yourselves.
