Editorial Review for Peanut Butter & Co – by Lisa Marie Rovito
The Scene
If the whiff of homemade peanut butter doesn't grip you, then butter-yellow walls lined with vintage tins and classic ads for Sunbeam bread and Welch's jam are bound to make you feel good. Aside from a milk selection that includes soy, rice and Lactaid, the novelty rings true. Kids, parents and everyone in between appreciate the old-fashioned sandwiches served with a pile of chips and carrot sticks.
The Food
Though the "Elvis"--grilled peanut butter, honey, bananas and bacon--reigns king, many of the sandwiches on the menu are sweeter compositions. Oddly enough, the kitchen turns out a heck of a tuna melt and a particularly tasty grilled cheese. Feel free to save your peanut butter for dessert: Milk shakes, cookies and sundaes (one with peanut butter Cap'n Crunch) are worth the trip alone. The Bananarama Split with peanut butter, graham crackers, whipped cream and chocolate sauce has a cult-like following.

I had to go here after watching a segment on the food network about places in NY. I am from LA and was excited and delighted to come here and see that it was everything I expected- quaint, nostalgic and a primo destination for peanut butter lovers such as myself. I wish I could have tried everything on the menu (maybe next time I am on the east coast) but I absolutely had to get the fluffernutter- something I had only seen and heard about on TV. It was delicious of course- but really made me feel like a little kid again which I believe is the emotion this places wishes to evoke (and sucessfully does). Next time I go, I am definitely trying the Elvis sandwich- I thinks it has honey, bananas, and bacon (yum yum)!
Pros: Peanut Butter Extravaganza
Cons: there isn't one in LA :(

great lunch spot! I had the Elvis(peanut butter, honey, bananas on toasted bread) which was really good and fresh. I also had a banana vanilla milkshake which was good but a little over blended. Everyone I was with also enjoyed their food. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean. I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or a snack but, only if you enjoy peanut butter.
Pros: awesome peanut butter
