We have a long history of owning and operating successful restaurants. We were “foodies” before being a “foodie” was a thing. We championed “fresh” before fresh was a fad.

We take fresh seriously. We make our own marinades, soups, chili, and dressings. It’s that dedication to “old school” quality combined with our modern knowledge of food preparation that makes Scotty P’s truly a unique operation.
Fresh, authentic, “cook to order” menu offerings reflect the quality standards we set for ourselves at Scotty P’s. We take fresh seriously. We also make our own marinades, soups, chili, and dressings. It’s that dedication to “old school” quality combined with our modern knowledge of food preparation that makes Scotty P’s truly a unique operation.
It all started back in 1930’s in Chicago Illinois. As a boy, Michael Pontikes went to work in a tavern owned by his father. Michael helped his dad run the family’s businesses during the depression and later after returning from service in the US Navy. After a lifetime in the foodservice industry, Michael and his youngest son Scott opened the first Scotty P’s in Frisco, Texas.
The Pontikes brothers continue to operate Scotty P’s restaurants in multiple locations, including the first unit opened in 1999 that continues to serve 1000’s of customers each week. We are not a franchise organization and we own all of our locations,
For nearly 80 years, the Pontikes Family has been serving meals to our neighbors, family, and friends who have come to know our dedication to quality and service. Come join us at your local Scotty P’s.
