More biscuits? Brunch at Gracious Plenty

Avocado wedges top a build-your-own quesadilla at Gracious Plenty.


Speaking of biscuits, we stopped by Gracious Plenty’s Prospect location on a Saturday recently with our friend Ann, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover its weekend-only brunch menu.

Briefly told, the brunch menu offers the usual suspects – eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and waffles and french toast – with nothing clocking in for more than the $9.99 Derby Lover Feast with three eggs, two biscuits with gravy, bacon or sausage, cheese grits and a pancake! Brunch beverages are on the menu, too, including a bloody mary or tequila sunrise for $8 or a mimosa for … wait for it … one dollar!

An a la carte order of well-made scrambled eggs, thick bacon and extra-cheesy grits made a filling breakfast; so did a build-your-own quesadilla ($8.99) stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheddar, mushrooms, onions and cilantro, with avocado on top.

A regular-size biscuit was fluffy and tender, not flaky nor crumbly, just right with plenty of butter. The tab for three came to a thrifty $31 plus tip.

Robin Garr’s rating: 82 points.

Noise level: Our party of three had no difficulty carrying on a conversation. (Average sound was 72dB, comparable to living room background music, occasionally peaking to a shrill 91dB, akin to a nearby motorcycle.)

Accessibility: The shopping center space is accessible to wheelchair users, but front-door thresholds have a bumpy concrete fill that could require a strong push to bump over.

Just a warning: there are two 9207's on Rte 42 in Prospect, one next door to Los Aztecas just East of Kroger shopping center, and one next to the Lion's club in Oldham Co East of Paramount Farms.

After a map search, we ended up at the wrong one.

It's located next to Aztecas, just East of the Kroger center!

Fast casual, qsr place. Omelet (make your own) was very good, and the chicken and waffle sandwich tasty and filling. Absolutely no frills, but also much less expensive than the fancier competition.

It's not on out top three list, but if we're somewhat grungy we would come back.

D'oh! Sorry about that, Andrew!

Does Prospect extend into Oldham County, though? I guess the old broad community does, but I'm pretty sure the Fourth Class/Home Rule city of Prospect doesn't cross the county line.

Robin, your comment had me thinking so I went and did some research. Prospect city limits do not extend out Highway 42 into Oldham County but it does look like they extended Oldham County on a section of Highway 329. I had to compare 2 different maps, 1 of prospect city limits and 1 of Oldham County limits but by doing that it looks like prospect does go into Oldham County.

I was on the board of directors of St. Matthews Little League many years ago (16), and each league had specific boundaries that were down to the street level. Prospect was in the St. Matthews LL boundary, but I remember having to ask the Prospect folks if they were in Jefferson or Oldham county, because only Jefferson could legally play at St. Matthews...the Oldham county kids belonged to South Oldham LL.

While it appears Prospect does not include 42 portion of Oldham today (I know it used to), no one told Google maps! (Google maps update daily, so who knows what you'll find today!)
