Bancroft & Co Peabody

Bancroft & Co opened their second location in Peabody a while ago. They see themselves as the hip younger brother to the Bancroft.



They are in the Northshore Mall, so parking is not an issue. The former building that held P.F Chang's was razed entirely, and this new one was put up. The visit today was to check out their brunch offerings.



The bar area is very familiar if you have visited the Burlington location.



Same concept with the multiple dining areas.



The upstairs bar.



The shrimp in the excellent Bloody Mary put a new meaning to jumbo. I didn't try the donuts, but they disappeared quickly. The first dish to arrive was the SMOKED SALMON + AVOCADO bagel chips + baby tomatoes. Nothing to complain about here.



This was followed by WARM GOAT CHEESE + ASPARAGUS QUICHE baby lettuce + heirloom tomato. The quiche was surprisingly tasty. FRESH BERRY + GRAPEFRUIT PLATE Meyer lemon panna cotta + almond brittle. The pannacotta was appropriately wobbly.



LOBSTER COBB SALAD green goddess + smoked bacon + blue cheese. What can I say? It had perfectly cooked lobster. SKIRT STEAK FRITES garlic butter + truffle French fries. The skirt steak was cooked medium and who doesn't like truffle fries.



BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH chipotle aioli + sweet potato fries. It was fried perfectly and much to my delight, it was a thigh. Dark meat chicken rules. The BANCROFT BURGER | 8OZ aged cheddar + crispy onions + house brioche used to only be available at lunch in Burlington, but are now available all day. It's an excellent burger, loosely packed and beefy. They make their own ketchup, and it's delicious.



More brunchy things. CRISP MALTED BELGIAN WAFFLE caramelized banana + rum butter sauce. The waffle was really light. COFFE CREME CARAMEL was really tasty.



CHOCOLATE PECAN TART With an excellent ice cream was delicious. Finally, we have the Sundae of the month with blueberry ice-cream and lemon shortbread.



Yes, they have actually pay phone booths.

I was invited as a media guest, but all opinions are my own.
