We enjoyed the food and ordered a nice bottle of wine with our supper. The meal started with onion rings, crisp coating with tender onions, served with ranch and ketchup. The next was a bit boring green salad, the lettuce was limp, and the blue cheese dressing did not taste of tangy cheese. Main meals were fried chicken with pan gravy, sirloin steak, and rib tips. Everyone enjoyed their meal and we truly had leftovers for our pups. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. The very casual dining setting is not a reflection of the good food. This is a very large building with so many nooks and dining areas. We will definitely eat here again and learn our favorites in the menu. read more

Ate at the peppermill on Monday on our way to rapid city. Have to say it was a great lunch . Service was extremely friendly. I had a mushroom Swiss burger with a side salad. This was my first burger ever with whole mushrooms on top. It was a very delicious burger. Wife had the fish and fries. And damn they don't skimp you. 4 huge pieces of fish. All in all we left full and happy. read more

At first we were sure what to expect (the place is ginormous) but when we walked in their friendly staff greeted us and sat us quickly at a comfortable table for four biker men, haha. The menu was varied and super choices. I was eating light (delicious cheese burger and salad) because of being on the road but my buddies (Jeff and Alan) did not. They ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich which featured prime rib, bread slices, mashed potatoes and gravy and carrots on the side. It was out of this world. They both raved about it. I would definitely recommend The Peppermill. 4.5 Prime Rib Sandwiches read more

We came in from a long day on the road and what a treat this place was. The steak is where it's at, get that. I had the steak salad and it was amazing. Service was fast and polite and prices were fair. I would go back if I was ever in the area again. read more

This is one of the few places to eat in Valentine, NE, but WOW am I glad we chose this one! I was a little underwhelmed when we pulled up, and the hostess was as-pleasant-as-required to begin the experience, but when we sat down and started looking at the menu, I almost started laughing. The person who wrote the menu needs a raise, stat - it's hilarious. I ordered a chicken-fried steak and onion rings, and my colleagues ordered a chicken-fried chicken entree, and a steak respectively. When our food came out, it was AWESOME! One of the best chicken-fried steaks I have EVER had, and I am a self-described CFS connoisseur! My colleagues meals were excellent as well, as were some of the local beers. DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY stop by the Peppermill if you are in Valentine - you will NOT regret it. read more

I ate here two nights in a row during my travels in the area. The burgers were absolutely amazing. I'm also a sucker for some good steamed broccoli and they even did that really well. This restaurant has a lot to offer. They seem to have a family side and then a bar side as well. It's massive but the food is delicious! read more

This place nails it! I didn't know what I was in for when some friends invited us to go here for lunch but it surpassed all my expectations. They had a wide selection of specials that all sounded amazing but I had a craving from a Swiss mushroom burger so I ordered that. Believe me when I tell you they do not skimp on their ingredients. The pile of mushrooms was as thick as the burger they sat on. And they did something I have never seen before, the cooked the button mushrooms whole! Not sliced, not from a can, whole button mushrooms! And they were cooked down perfectly with tremendous flavor. Add to that that you are in cattle country and they use fantastic beef and you are in for a fantastic burger. And then the fries, I don't know what to call them, they are spiral cut but not like curly fries, they are sort of like ribbon cut like at a fair but not thin like that so they aren't like glorifies chips, they still have that fluffy French fry center. I have honestly never had fries like them before. Add to that the waitstaff was friendly and attentive and it was a great meal. Everyone at my table got something different and it was unanimous satisfaction all around. read more

Oh my goodness. I am truly speechless with how incredible my meal was at Peppermill but I will do my best to explain via this review so you can all taste the amazing food I had tonight! I ordered the filet mignon medium rare. It came out PERFECTLY. Literally melted in my mouth. It was seasoned with only salt and pepper and had some butter but needed nothing else. It came with a side salad and a side. I opted for the rice side option which was okay but chose to add on the buttery mushrooms and those were incredible as well. If you like mushroom, get these! My colleague also had this dish and he said this is probably the best filet mignon he has ever had (I would agree). We also tried the carrot cake for dessert (sounds like dessert options change often so ask the server what is available) and it was great! Not too sweet, a little gingery and a great way to end the meal. I am STUFFED! But it was 100% worth it. Also, the filet is charged by market price (which can be kind of scary) but it was about 35 tonight. Great food, great price. read more

We stopped at the Peppermill for dinner on a Friday night. The place was hopping and there was a 30 minute wait. The staff was friendly and greeted us promptly. After our wait, we sat down at our table and within a couple minutes, our friendly server was asking for our drink orders. LOVE that! We aren't from the area so had no idea about the beer selections. Our server made some recommendations based on our typical taste in beer. Our drinks arrived in a timely manner and were great. Just what we needed after a long day on the road. We placed our food order for Steakhouse Hot Beef, Chicken Fried Chicken (I know, I was in beef country), and a Chicken Bacon Ranch Sándwich. All of the portions were HUGE and everything was absolutely delicious. My husband's Hot Beef was as big as his head (which is quite large) and my Chicken Fried Chicken with white gravy was super crispy and flavorful. My daughter really enjoyed her Chicken Bacon Ranch Sándwich and cleaned her plate. To be completely transparent, there were a couple of small things that didn't go great. First, our server didn't enter our appetizer order so we never got it. Not terrible though since we had so much food with our entrées. Second, it took quite a while for our server to run our credit card. Neither of these things was significant enough to lower my rating from 5 stars. If you are looking for some great down home cooking, this is your place. No fuss, no muss, just darn good food, drinks and service. I would definitely return if I am ever passing through Valentine again. read more

I was in Valentine for work and was recommended Peppermill by many locals. The prices, the staff and food are all top notch. I had the "Heart City Strip" with loaded mashed potatoes for dinner. The food and service was so amazing I went back the next day for lunch, I got the "This is Cheeseburger". If you are in the Valentine area....Peppermill is the move! read more

If you happen to be in Valentine and you are looking for a good steak you can't beat this place! Family came here for dinner after a long day of driving on our way back from our first trip to Yellowstone and were thankful for a place close to our hotel where we could unwind. The service was prompt and friendly. I started with a grapefruit cider which was really refreshing. Ordered a steak with a salad and the meat was done medium rare with just the right amount of seasoning added. The salad was a generous amount. I really appreciated having options that didn't involve a lot of potato. The other family members tried the prime rib, Jim Harrison pork belly sandwich, Cobb and kabob. I had a taste of the pork belly and prime rib and came away impressed with both! The only thing I tried that I wasn't excited by was the mule which was decent but a little weak in flavor (I was charged the stronger dose price so not sure if that changed the flavor profile). Overall - this place has a lot to offer! read more

Customer Service!!! We had a problem, and decided to to order food. We paid for our drinks and departed for another restaurant. The Peppermill was SUPER busy! The owner tracked us down in the restaurant we ended up at, he came over to our table and apologized for the misunderstanding. We were so each less. Unbeknownst to us, he also paid our bill at the second restaurant! Unbelievable customer service! We will be back to try out the Peppermill !! read more

First time visiting and it was great. Staff was very friendly and food was fresh and amazing. One of the best prime ribs I've eaten. Tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. My sister and I orderedLong Island iced teas and they did not disappoint. They were like 24oz, were not weak, and priced at 8 bucks. Would definitely recommend. Good food, good drinks, nice ambience, and good prices. read more

The Peppermill is a longstanding Valentine establishment. They excel at providing one of the best steak dinners in the state of Nebraska. I had the 20/83 ribeye, medium rare. The steak was tender, cooked with skill, and exhibiting what I consider optimal beef flavor. This outfit understands how to bring great steaks to the dining public. read more

Seating was fast! Ordering was a little slow but they were pretty busy. Wait time on food was super fast. Only thing is I would want at least 10-15mins in between apps and main courses. It's a very rich person place. The food was amazing tho. Great flavor on the crust of the chicken and the mash was on point. The pretzel bites were a bit over cooked but still very good. Staff was great!! Although the food was spot on. It will be awhile before we can afford to go back!! read more

I have loved this place for decades, but recently have been able to eat lunch here!! Their specials are amazing and I have no idea why someone would get fast food when you can have an fabulous meal here just as fast!!!! I am not kidding! The lunch specials are affordable. I ordered, had my food, are and returned a couple emails in less than 20 minutes today. The service was spectacular as well! Way to go! Valentine should be so proud to have such a nice establishment available to them for a quick lunch or a great evening out! read more

I came to review this restaurant thinking "it's so good, and in small town it needs recognition"...but looks like many people had the same though! Our family got 2 steaks, a country friend steak and the pretzel knots. Everything single item was very good. The pretzel bites though....they have this horse radish pepper cheese sauce. WHAT?!? It's the best accompaniment I've had with pretzels. The white country gravy was better than most others I've had. Steaks were cooked nicely. Our waitress was attentive and sweet. Restaurant was clean and we will visit every time we visit this town read more

Walked in this place wondering what we were getting ourselves into. Snowy, cold night, but for the weather, it was a happening place! Had thee best service ever, as we have had every time we have stopped here. But, when we asked the owner if we could plug our diesel truck in and we needed an extension cord, he looked at us like we were nuts... not to mention looked a little pissed when he realized that we were towing a huge gooseneck trailer taking up half of the small parking lot. Then we got inside the lounge area to enjoy some drinks and dinner. Our waitress was the bomb!! She remembered that I am a two-fisted drinker and enjoy a cocktail on the side with a beer. Love this! Our meal was over the top delish! My only complaint is that I had a couple too many croutons on my salad!! Additionally, there was a loud table in the corner with their kids sitting at a separate table. I swear, they acted like they owned the place!!! Kids acted better than the adults! All and all, I would give this place a 10 on service and delicious food. However, if you're looking for a place to park your giant camper and plug it in, maybe park that and take an Uber! Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

We were visiting the area and one of us had the fried fish dinner, which was very plentiful and yummy. The other was the barbecued brisket. The first time it came out was cold. I told the waitress she responded quickly to replace the whole meal with hot food. The brisket was really tender and flavorful, and the waitress was a wonderful server. We ate in the restaurant area,. There are not many windows. It is darker than I typically like in a restaurant. Reminds me of some old time, supper clubs in northern Wisconsin. Definitely would go there again. Definitely recommend. read more

Probably the best dining option in town. The atmosphere/decor isn't very well thought out, but it's got some interesting menu options. Food was decent and the service was attentive and friendly. Go ahead and get the sack lunch, they're pretty good. read more

I was in Valentine for the Sandhills Marathon this past weekend. The Peppermill peaked my interest judging by the yelp reviews. I was underwhelmed by my experience. The service was great. My friend's meal was very tasty. I ordered the peanut butter whiskey burger because you are in the heart of cattle country. It was a thin patty so no opportunity to get it cooked any other way than well. The aggressive peanut butter sauce didn't have much peanut butter flavor at all. It was more spicy than anything else. I'm guessing that was the whiskey but there wasn't much of that flavor either. I was disappointed. Would I go back? Sure! Just to try something else on the menu. I'm not a person to pick and bitch about little things. True 3 star experience. read more

The food was fantastic! If you go away hungry it's your own fault.Service was impeccable great weight staff they all worked together as a team. Very nice restaurant overall! read more

we came in as a group of 12. We were split up even though they weren't busy. The waitress was rude when we asked a second time if we could please sit together. My steak was full of gristle and just not a good steak. I am a cattle rancher and know a good steak. This was not a good steak at all. Service was slow. In the end we got billed the tip for an "over 8" party even though we sat at 2 tables of 6 on opposite ends of dining area. We have ate at PM off and on for over 20 years. We brought some friends who have never ate here before for a good experience. It wasn't a good experience. This place continues to get worse as time goes on. We probably won't go back and don't recommend at all. read more

Great place to eat. Food was good, drinks were great, and service was fantastic!, even though they were really busy!! Cheers!

Came in from riding the Cowboy Trail on our bikes. The food and drinks were good and our server did a nice job serving us.

WATCH YOUR TICKETS!!!!! We were a party of 5, and they added a line for 8+ gratuity on ours. I had the French dip..flavorless prime on an untoasted hoagie, room temp meat with no cheese and chicken broth to dip it in. Another person in our group ordered the "grilled cheese" prime sandwich...it came on dry toasted bread, with cold meat, c'mon even a 12 year old knows how to make a grilled cheese...One member of our group was throwing up all night. Beware!! Don't get me started on the owner who was not apologetic to our experience AT ALL but only made excuses. The only bright spot was our waitress Amber! Thanks girl you ROCKED! read more

Nice ambiance, tables spaced accordingly, menu prices are reasonable, however $8 for a cocktail is over priced in a very rural area in our amazing state. I ordered the grilled chicken cordon bleu sandwich, it was really good, but when the server delivered my plate, she states, "oh I need to tell you the sandwich has a bone in it", this I found very odd, I ate one half of and saved the rest for a river trip the next day. I packed the half sandwich, and when I got hungry, I pulled out the sandwich from my cooler and began to eat it, I bite into a bone (I had forgotten about) and when I dissected the breast meat I pulled out a humerus bone! That was a very off putting discovery and I threw that half away. I don't feel this is proper preparation and cooking technique for a grilled breast. Based on that alone is why my rating is low. read more

Ate at the Peppermill a couple of weeks ago. First time back home for a few days in several years. Was there with my sisters, my nephew and his wife. Service was spot on, quick and friendly. A variety of beef dishes from the menu were ordered. I had the 12 oz Prime rib. It was as I remembered cooked to perfection and fork tender...which was a good thing, as I think the steak knives were the dullest possible pieces of steel ever in a restaurant. Thank god for my fork! Thanks Robert, you've got a great thing going...keep it up, but please either sharpen your steak knives or tell people to use their forks!

Wow the line was long! We waited 25 minutes to get but we're determined to stick it out. I had the 8 oz filet. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The steamed veggies were delicious. My husband had chicken tenders and steak fries. Both were good. As busy as the place was, the hostess and manager worked well together in getting people seated as quickly as possible. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The only thing I was sad about is that they were out of carrot cake. But...it happens. read more

There are a few prime steakhouses in Nebraska: Johnny's Cafe, The Drover, Anthony's, Cascio's, Dreisbach's and 801 Chophouse. Peppermill is one of them. I had to pick between the prime rib and Heart City Strip. I went with the strip and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Big and thick. Really perfect. The other elements of the meal were a nice house salad and incredibly great mash potatoes and gravy. Earlier this week I ate at a hipster gastropub in Omaha. Peppermill was half as much but twice as good. My only complaint is that the granite around the faucet in the men's room needs to be cleaned along with the hardware. read more

I just had a fantastic meal here! The filet was perfectly grilled as I ordered it medium rare to medium! The baked potato was great with it. I had the salad and house made ranch dressing which was also great. I enjoyed a glass of Merlot chosen by our waiter, Bryan, who is very friendly! I appreciate his awareness of gluten free too. We really enjoyed our meal, way better than the overpriced steak dinners in Denver too! Thank you!! Just ate here a second night and the chicken dinner was fantastic! read more

I had the prime rib grilled cheese with a cup of ribeye chili. Omgosh. It was AMAZING!!! I would go out of my way to get this sandwich and soup again. Also thank you to the server who was also amazing and attentive. read more

We weren't familiar with angus or prime rib and got what we didn't really want. Turns out they weren't too bad! They were cooked and all ate up. The hamburger was a-okay. Wouldn't say WOW. Services were pleasant. By the way, when we exited the restaurant and started walking to car, there was a scared little mouse on the restaurant wall trying to escape us. I am really hoping it never got inside or to the back kitchen of restaurant. read more

Meh. I actually wanted a steak, but I have heard that the restaurant has gone downhill since it was acquired by a new owner some time back. I didn't want to waste my money on an expensive mediocre steak, so I went with the chicken fried steak...something that I am very familiar with, having grown up in the south, with Georgia and Texas grandmothers and parents who know how to make chicken fried steak. The Peppermill chicken fried steak was just meh. But it was a meh CFS that cost me $16. Service was average; not great, not bad. Just average. I'll probably go back next time I want a sit-down meal in Valentine - not because it's worth the money, but because there aren't a whole lot of options in Valentine. read more

Second time I've ever been here. I came 2 years ago with my Mom. Mainly stopped today because it's a Passport stamp for NE Passport this summer. I also knew the husband would like it. He got some blonde beer that he just guzzled. He loved it. I got a raspberry lemonade. They put the syrup in first, THEN the lemonade so it didn't mix well, but tasted good. I got steak tips and mashed potatoes. The GRAVY! OMG I could bathe in that gravy. It was a brown gravy and covered everything. So good. Hubs got the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and he practically licked his plate clean. Ordered a piece of peanut butter cheesecake to go. Ate it back in our hotel. It was quite good. Would Have been PERFECT if I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream. LoL Great atmosphere and waitress was wonderful. Would come back again anytime. read more
