This place is the closest thing next to an old school dinner. The ambiance is nostalgic. The service was great and friendly. Very knowledgeable on the menu and helpful with suggestions. The food was great on some items and fair on others. Their deserts is always beyond belief. Awesome! I love this place for an old school social dinner feel!

The food was cold. I ordered 'Panko' Cod. I was served 'Breaded Cod'. Imagine, if someone had a gluten allergy this would be a potential ER visit. The difference is 'Panko' is made from rice, not wheat. The fish was not light because it was bread crumbs and not panko, it was dripping with grease. The waffle fries were greasy and cold. I've gone to this particular Pegahs for years and never had an issue with the food or the service. The service is another thing entirely. The waitress was bubbly and nice, brought out the order. After trying the fish and chips, I told her my concern regarding the cold fries and non Panko fish. Honestly, I don't think they knew the difference between Panko and bread crumbs. The servers reply was, 'but is it good?' I said the cottage cheese which I was eating was good, then I said, 'but...' and before I could speak she cuts me off, she repeats herself saying the same thing, ''but is it good?" I was upset at the gaslighting treatment with that exchange. Every server I've ever had has apologized and asked right away, 'How can I make it right'? She ignored our table until it was time for the check. I was charged the full amount. The manager came by, who said she understood, and said she would speak to the server. The server comes over and starts in with me, I explained again the problem with the food and said, I did not appreciate the gaslighting. Typical of someone who does this she negated my experience. I have never had an issue like this with a server before. I was frankly aghast at her arguing with me. She said, 'I did not gaslight you' and again, I explained the words that devalued what my experience was. The manager came by and I went over the whole thing again. I communicated that yes, the food was greasy and cold, but the treatment from the server was rude and uncalled for. The manager got the menu and said, 'Yes, it says Panko, but the receipt does not. She went on to further explain, there were too many letters in Panko to put on the receipt!! What?? I couldn't believe my ears. I clarified, and said, 'the word 'breaded' is 7 letters, Panko is 5 letters' She reiterated that there was not enough room on the receipt for Panko! lol......People, I've never heard anything more ridiculous at a restaurant. I will never return and will never suggest that place again. Nuff said. and PS... I was with my older sister who said her chili was also cold. It's a crazy world out there!!! I can only laugh at the scenario.

This place is a true small town dinner - great food, nice atmosphere and friendly service. My dad lives down the street and loves to go to Pegah’s for breakfast and Michelle is our favorite waitress- she always gives my dad a hard time and he loves it.

We recently moved from Olathe to Shawnee, and have been been this original location twice, both times I ordered the chicken fried chicken and it was very chewy and rubbery like a tire, and very hard to eat, as I mentioned at the end of my first visit. Second visit 2 months later, the same thing, this time I asked for my food to be changed, also the attitude from every single waitress and hostess here was very uncaring, I was having a hard time with the menu and not any advice, both visits they just wait and stare into space... I asked about tea flavors and was told sweet and not sweet, .mm okay. The Overland Park location is excellent and they are very nice. In Shawnee we were passed by 5 times while asking for help whole waitresses were asking each other if they looked ok or if their jacket fit was fine. I will try not to come to this location again.

I have been going to Pegahs for years. Meet friends for lunch, but I just found out they charge 49 cents for a 2nd tea bag after I used the first one for 2 cups of water. They don't charge for numerous coffee refills. Tea bags cost a nickel and Pegahs just uses the restaurant supplier kind- not even a name brand. Haven't been back.

Seriously disappointed. Never ever will we be back. Between a Rotten Ceasar Salad to a dirty knife placed under my chicken fried steak. I did not know and licked the knife. There was even teeth marks on the knife. I am extremely grossed out.

We went there and before we ordered we asked 2 times that we had aT-Mobil Tuesday coupon for $10. Off if spend $20.00 and was told that we would get the discount at the register. Our bill was $26.98 before taxes. And showed the redeem code at the register and was denied and had to pay the full amount of $29.57. We will never go to Pegahs again.p

We will now be going to Pegahs in the future and have updated my review.
