Excellent traditional Mexican food with Texas flare. The flour tortillas are freshly made. Corn are also but we're a bit too thick for my liking. (I make them as well, so I can compare.) Hands down the best flavors around. read more

I came for lunch and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was cute and quaint. The service was fast and efficient. You place your order at a kiosk and the staff makes and delivers your food. The food is amazing. It tastes delicious and freshly made. I had a taco and a burrito with chips and guacamole as a side, and everything was exceptional. Even the chips and tortillas taste as if they were freshly made. Oh, and try the pineapple cream soda for a refreshing treat. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

This place was a delightful surprise! We were at an event at Spring Hill High School and I have seen their Facebook page pop in on a few of our community groups so we decided to finally give it a try. Inside is fairly small but still plenty of sitting for a small group or large group of 7-8. You order and pay at the counter and they bring your food to you. We ordered the Tumbleweeds for our starter which is thinly sliced fried onions served with their barbecue ranch. It's so good and perfectly cooked. I prefer the thin cut onion rings so I was devouring them. Our mains were the Rango and Smothered Burrito. The Rango is chopped brisket sandwich which was so good and the fries were great too. The rice that came with the Smothered Burrito was great and flavorful, I loved the burrito as well. We finished off our meal with banana pudding and rolled out there because we were so full. We will be back! read more

Great tacos!!! Highly recommend the brisket Tacos. Friendly inviting atmosphere. Definitely will be back!!!

Incredible service, food and drinks. This will be my go-to place for when I'm in town to visit girlfriends! Restaurant is clean. read more

Great little spot for quality food. The place isn't fancy but the food is crafted with care. I had the fajita tacos. Grilled chicken with fajita vegetables and a side plate of fixins. Fresh grated cheese, pico, guac, sour cream and lettuce. The flour tortillas were amazingly soft yet strong enough to hold all the ingredients without falling apart. The flavor was superb. Sometimes with these dishes, the vegetables are over cooked and the chicken is dry, but not here. All the flavors are combined for a delicious fiesta on the tongue. The rice and pintos are also really tasty. Since the restaurant also serves barbecue, there's a hint of that in the pintos. The rice is also unique. It's has a peppery flavor that I found complimented the rest of everything on the plate. Off the beaten path, but well worth a visit. Quality food, quality ingredients and friendly staff. As this place is only 4 minutes from my house, I'll definitely be going back. Give this place a try. read more

Peppercorn Scratch Kitchen - Chicken Fajita Tacos - Tex-Mex Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

Food is always fresh and delicious. Friendly service. They never disappointed. Cute space always clean. read more

Really solid scratch made food. Loved the queso, guacamole and Texas fries. Really liked the birria quesadilla tacos and the The Brick tacos (more BLT than taco but good). The salsa and jalapeño ranch were good. Cute decor in a small space with limited seating. Will definitely return. Some people don't like the kiosk order but it didn't bother me. Server was attentive and brought more chips when needed. read more

We use to eat here often a couple of years ago. We moved further and haven't been in a while. Went in yesterday... spent $70 on 4 meals. One was a kids meal! Way over priced! Portions were smaller than they use to be. I got the Rango and it barely had any meat. My husband asked them for some ranch and they actually made him pay for it. After spending $70 already! And the sweet tea was awful! We won't ever go back. Go down the street and you have plenty of better options! read more

Small spot with delicious food! Order at one of the kiosks and your food is made to order by very friendly staff. The brisket tacos are so delicious, but be warned the Diablo sauce is as spicy as the name implies! The portions are also very generous, two tacos were more than enough. The bowls are equally large and fresh. read more

Fresh, delicious and so good! We just moved to Spring Hill and stumbled on this place - so glad we did. read more

We've been meaning to eat here for quite a while, not sure what took so long but it was amazing!! So excited to find great Tex-Mex close to home. I had the chicken burrito and cheesy rice and no way could eat it all. Huge portions, so enough for lunch the next day. We also got the Texas fries, I'm very picky with my loaded fries and I must say these are top 2 all time fav! Anyway don't hesitate to go! Well worth it and will be back! read more

I want to rip this restaurant off its foundation, raise it up in the air, and shake its contents into my gullet, it was so good. My wife and I lived near the border for 20+ years. We know Tex Mex. We both agree this is really, really phenomenally good Tex Mex, and Columbia is extraordinarily lucky to have such a gem on the local food scene. 115 out of 100--extra credit for excellent Birria :) read more

Peppercorn Scratch Kitchen - Nice and casual, too! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Columbia, Tennessee

My wife and I met friends here for dinner one night and were blown away. At first, we were taken aback ... it's in commercial a strip mall and doesn't look like much. Then we walked in, and while it smelled good, to me it smelled more like a BBQ place than Tex Mex. We quickly learned not to let those impressions fool us... the food was incredibly good - full of flavor, and with Goldilocks and the Three Bears portions: not too big, not too small... just right. Other big plusses was that everything on the menu was reasonably priced, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. The only thing that caught us off guard is that they aren't open on weekends. Being as it's 80 miles from where we live, it's going to make it hard to go back... and that's a shame because we really liked it and would love to show our support by going often. But if you live close to Columbia, TN or are just traveling through on any weekday but Monday, give Peppercorn Scratch Kitchen a try. I think you'll be glad you did. read more

I've eaten here about 10 times and it's consistently quality food. Not the canned slop so many other places serve. This place offers FRESH and made to order food. It's a small place and they do offer door dash. read more

As a former owner of restaurants.. I love the look and the concept. Unfortunately idiots like J.K. cant wrap their simple head around the idea of using a kiosk. The food is solid and will appeal to most people, which is what you're looking for. Great food, great concept... I'm rooting for these guys!! Give them a chance. read more

Friendly, attentive staff. Flavorful food. Get the Texas cheese fries. They are delicious. I tried to post this, but Yelp says I need to write more to make it a review. I have nothing more to say. We enjoyed the food. The TX cheese fries were outstanding. read more

This is a very small restaurant with very big flavor! My son and I stopped in to try it out after picking him up from school, and although we were surprised that it was primarily barbecue (when I think scratch kitchen I think of southern comfort food for some reason) , it was flavorful and well portioned. I had the Rango (brisket sandwich) and my son had the Carolina (pork sandwich). The meats were tender with just the right amount of smoke, and they were too large to finish in one sitting, so yay leftovers! I got the mac n cheese, and it was so good my son finished it off when I was done. We will definitely be back! read more

Nice spot for brunch or lunch. Very clean environment and bathrooms. Food was fast, fresh, and hot. It's a smaller venue but didn't fill up while we were there. Self service fountain drinks are complimentary. I'd dine here again. Hostess was attentive and very welcoming. read more

Good food and good atmosphere, just a little expensive for the serving size! Otherwise I liked it!

Short staffed and still knocked it out of the park! Small venue, great food and kinda noisy with groups. Line to the door making it quite personal, lol. Delicious food for sure, maybe next time you guys could rinse the dirt out if the cilantro though, it makes the rice and fabulous tacos gritty. What a waste, would have given 5 stars! read more

Our first visit here was great!! Food was clean, atmosphere was great and staff was just as friendly. We will be back.

Being from Texas, I was very skeptical coming here claiming the Tex-Mex title on a portion of the menu. That said, we found this little gem VERY tasty and will certainly be back! We typically go to Franklin for our Tex-Mex needs, but our tummies are satisfied! We had the chips and queso, both types of smothered burritos, Texas fries (smothered in queso, bacon, and jalapeños), and the brisket chili. Everything was great! read more

It's overpriced and a overhypes IMHO. Small hoagie (smaller than your palm ) without much meat for $15. Cheese on top of a small amount of chips $9. read more

The food is the best around here. Rather Tex Mex Super friendly people. I haven't eaten anything there that was not tasty read more

Burrito with fajitas veggies and brisket was fabulous! Salsa and guacamole with sour cream made it perfect! Quick prep was ready as promised! read more

What a delightful find...and it did take me a bit to find in its strip of other businesses...but very much worth it. I had a Baja Bowl , which came on a plate, and thus surprised me. The food was fresh, good quality and seasoned nicely. The seating area was small but the majority of customers were picking up rather than dining in so it was a nice place to catch up with a friend. Next time I venture South to Columbia, TN. , I will try something different at Peppercorn Scratch. Perhaps their family taco kit to go would make an easy weeknight meal. read more

Very tasty Tex Mex entrees. Very casual. Small dining area. Prepay and order via a digital kiosk screen. Located on busy US 31 just south of Spring Hill city limits. Staff are friendly and supportive in responding to inquiries. read more

Great food, great service, super cool owners! Stop by, you won't regret it!! You'll be back!

We live right down the street from Peppeecorn which was nice to see because unless we go into Spring Hill or Columbia our only other choice is Burger King or Embers. The first time my wife and I went there I ordered the brisket Philly with tumbleweeds and she ordered hard shell tacos for some reason lol. My sandwich wasn't too bad, just a little dry, I was expecting some sauce on it or maybe a lot of cheese, so I asked for some BBQ sauce which made it pretty good. My wife wasn't impressed with the tacos, but the tumbleweeds were tasty. The second time I ordered takeout for myself, I ordered their wings, there are no good wing places here in Spring Hill or Columbia, and since they're a BBQ place I figured they couldn't do worst. Their smoked Buffalo wings are really good, as are their french fries. I've also ordered their chicken strips, and the Carolina sandwich which were both good as well. All in all, the staff is nice, the food is prepared quickly, most things I've tried are good, other than a couple menu items that seemed either basic or bland, but the location makes peppercorn very convenient and preferable over the alternatives especially. I hope they add more or new menu items in the future, but definitely worth a shot if you are in the area. read more

The food here is delicious. In a little strip and not a lot of space, but don't let that fool you. Sandwiches are top tier, can't wait to have some more of that brisket. We came a little later in the evening but still had top service to top it off. Will definitely be back to try some more things although it will be tough to not get the Pepe Silvia again (also amazing sandwich name). read more

Visiting from MI. This place is great! Beats Qdoba and Chipotles any day. My fav is the Cali chicken bowl.

Wanted to like this place, but the food was just so bland, especially the beans, and they're going with a self service system that doesn't really work because half of what you need isn't out there for you to get yourself, like hot sauce or to go boxes or appetizer share plates or just things you need to dine in at a restaurant so it doesn't really make sense to sit and eat there, because you have to go up to the kitchen every time you need something and ask for every little thing. We were a party of 7, and everyone felt the same about their food, just meh, and nothing came out hot at all. Overall seems like just a whitewashed Tex Mex with no service, wouldn't go back honestly. read more

Pretty good food, but the prices are higher than most local comparisons. I would pick a local real Mexican restaurant and save a bit of money. read more

Locally owned. Excellent food. My daughter and I dined inside. It's small but we had great service. The food had good flavor. We would go again. read more

Best kept secret in Columbia! This place is so fresh and always really good. The service is great too.

I love this place!! Like the name suggests everything is made from scratch. I've had the fajita tacos several times now and just love the fresh flavor and homemade tortillas. The brunch has more wonderful offerings, I particularly enjoyed the fajita omelette. Give them a try! The place is pretty small so think about ordering to-go for large parties. read more

Absolutely loved this place! Saw it while driving on Nashville Hwy and decided to try it. We got the Frank the Tank burrito, Pepe Silvia sandwich and the tres leches cake for dessert. Everything was so good, the service was great and their complimentary chips and salsa were delicious. Will definitely be back and will likely be picking up tres leches for dessert again very soon! read more
