Scotty P's in McKinney Serves Great Hamburgers and Salads

Kids' Hamburger and Fries

The best hamburgers in North Texas are at Scotty P's, a locally established restaurant and family business that serves great food with large servings.

For this dinner, we ordered three kids' meals and a salad. The kids' meals are smaller servings but the full servings are huge, so sometimes the smaller serving is just right. Here's a photo of the kids' hamburger. You can order it with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion if you want. It comes with Scotty P's fries and a small drink and dessert (this time a package of two Oreo cookies) and costs about $5. The hamburger was fresh and hot and delicious...and gone within minutes.

Greek Salad

One of us ordered the small Greek salad: lettuce, a few tomatoes and olives, Feta cheese, red onions, Greek dressing, and grilled pita. (They used to serve two crisp crackers, and we all agree that we miss those.) The smaller salad is a standard size, and you can order it with grilled chicken. It's delicious without the chicken and costs about $6.

We also splurged and ordered a junior order of Scotty P's cardiac fries. French fries layered with melted cheddar cheese with fresh bacon and chives and jalepeños and served with ranch dressing for dipping sauce. A junior serving is a nice "side order" for the four of us, but you can order a large order, which will feed an entire table, especially if you aren't ordering regular French fries with your hamburgers. (You order French fries separately on the menu.)

Cardiac Fries

Scotty P's food is fresh and served hot. Unfortunately, the servings are very large and some of the prices are high compared to other burger places, but you are paying for quality. The restaurant in McKinney has televisions that are tuned to the news, and the back room is a great place for viewing sporting events on the two large-screen televisions. (In fact, on this night, we watched a re-broadcast of our favorite college team beating a nationally ranked team.) The environment is warm and casual: not too loud. We frequently run into neighbors and friends here; Scotty P's is a frequented restaurant, which is nice in a smaller city.

We give Scotty P's seven thumbs up for this dining experience. We went early and the service was a little slow. But the food was delicious and satisfying. Thanks, Scotty P!
