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 staying current with your vaccines. Thanks, guys.

Well, ditch those denims, dress up a bit and order Oysters Rockefeller as a starter followed by Lobster Tails and rounding it out with Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée. Or, keep it easy and casual as there are plenty of wonderful choices including aged steaks! Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but we’re ALL entitled to treat ourselves every now and then.
