I took my son and another college buddy for a quick early dinner. The boys had burgers and they loved them. I had the vegetable soup and onion rings and both were good. Nice casual restaurant and not too expensive. More

Went here with a couple girlfriends of mine. I don't really understand how anyone can have a bad thing to say about this place? We had very attentive service in the bar. I seriously have not had a burger this good in years. It came out exactly as I had ordered it and it was perfectly cooked. The onion rings... More

We stopped into Peppers to eat while doing business at the shopping center. It was a business lunch so I was prepared to tip generously and order light. My colleague announced her food allergy to the order taker and after a 30 minute wait, her meal came to the table not as she had requested. Since she could not eat... More

Hello, I'm incredibly saddened to hear of your recent experience at Pepper's. I would like to personally make it up to you by having you back in to give Pepper's another try, on us! This is not the kind of complaint we take lightly. A rude server can ruin a business the size of ours and we would like to... More

We try to buy local, but this doesn't even compare with a chain restaurant. Bad service, dirty table and tasteless food. We won't be back! More

This means working everyday to keep local ingredients in our kitchen and the most made from scratch food on your table. These are things that are offered by no chain restaurant. As for cleanliness, we demand a high... More

In the past week I had a good burger and reuben sandwich. They use bread from the local Stick Boy bakery, which is a plus. The burger was cooked *my* way (Med Rare), in spite of what the lawyers in Raleigh say. The reuben was good and so were the onion rings, but at $2.25 to substitute for chips, that's... More

Visited Boone, NC for shopping on Saturday and wanted to try a restaurant we hadn't visited before, so after consulting Trip Advisor (of course) I decided on Pepper's. It is located in a strip shopping center so I really didn't expect much more than a nice sandwich shop, but Pepper's was a very nice surprise. It has a cozy rustic... More

First of all - nothing wrong with the food - also - nothing wrong with the service, your typical college student wait staff that you would expect to find in a college town. I personally think the prices are high for the food you get. I ordered a club sandwich with a cup of French onion soup and tea and... More

Onion rings were crispy and hot serving as our appetizer. Jean Lawson always delicious along with the soup and salad bar. Locally owned. Great place to see other friends in the area. More

We ate here for the first time when our son was a freshman at App!!! We had a great meal and enjoyed the atmosphere as well. Eventually our son actually ended up working here during his college years so, of course, we always ate here during our visits to Boone!!! We have always had delicious meals at economical prices!!!
