Prescott Pantry

My once-a-week breakfast crowd has decided to be adventurous for a change, moving from one restaurant to another. Today it was The Prescott Pantry out Iron Springs Road.

Been years since I stopped in at The Pantry; the place is now one entire store front bigger than the last time. The deli section looks a hair smaller than on my previous visit, but then I've been around long enough to recall that when The Pantry opened, it was primarily a gourmet food shop, with limited sit-down eating opportunities.

Just a few of the packaged goodies remain on the shelves. Contrast that with the huge menu below.

Just one complaint about the seating -- no convenient knobs for hanging handbags or cameras.

A trip to Home Depot for the ready-made trellis panels makes neat ceiling hangars for a variety of baskets, all quite in keeping with the light, cottage-y decor of the restaurant.

Maybe when it warms up, the breakfast folk will try "sidewalk" dining -- we are definitely returning, a real vote of confidence considering that our guys are real cowboy dude types . The food is good.

Pop Science: ...and rap science and science rock, in short, music about science. Apparently the dotter collects the stuff. She posted the pick of her videos at her blog today.

    I'm not sure why blogger won't let me post. Looks like a place with good eats.

  4. Mmmmm the tuna melt there is AWESOME! I end up going to the pantry at least once a month. Good food, decent prices, good service, and semi-healthy to boot. :)

  6. steve -- it looks like Blogger finally relented. Yes, good food -- substantial for breakfast, lighter for lunch.

    tombo -- I'll have to try that one of these days.

    lindaG -- Spring's here -- it's time to get out of the house & eat out!
