Gabby’s Grill opened earlier in the year by a husband-and-wife team who operate two other locations in Prescott Valley. In a cozy setting with booth seating, the restaurant offers traditional American grill dishes, including chicken wings and ribs. The menu also has a selection of salads from the staple Caesar salad to a more unusual Mexican fiesta salad with avocado, black beans, corn, diced chicken and tomatoes. There are plenty of other family favorites, like the chicken club, tuna melt, shrimp scampi or beef steak.
Jamie’s Waffle Express is a long-time favorite breakfast and lunch destination in Prescott Valley, hiding in a strip mall. The friendly service and relaxed but spotless setting mean the diner attracts plenty of regular customers. The breakfast selection should satisfy even picky eaters. For the health conscious, try the delicious buckwheat waffles and multi-grain pancakes with a large choice of fruit toppings. The lunch menu includes salads, soups and omelettes.
Cork & Cuisine was started by a family who moved from Phoenix to Prescott Valley a few years ago with the intention to serve the kind of food they themselves wanted to eat. The outcome is a creative menu, which changes monthly in response to the availability of fresh seasonal ingredients. Each month also sees a new local winery profiled. Hence, it makes perfect sense to visit Cork & Cuisine on a monthly basis. From breakfast burgers to bourbon berry cream cheese pancakes, the extensive Saturday brunch menu is appealing. Be sure to wash it all down with bottomless mimosas.
The restaurant has a ‘spicy’ rating, which means you can adjust the degree of heat to your taste, starting from very mild to extremely hot if you dare. The staff is friendly and helpful, offering advice on the menu. Popular choices include coconut soup, green curry, yellow curry with chicken or the pad Thai. To cool down the spice, have some Thai iced tea.
