Our daughter lives in Canandaigua, and we make this stop every time we visit. We tried it on a recommendation and look forward to maintaining that tradition every time we drive north from Pennsylvania. read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch as well as a dinner at Peppers in Canandaigua, NY this week. The lunch was with a hearing impaired friend. We asked for a quiet spot and were blessed with a booth at the far end of the dining area where it was not only quiet but cozy and conducive to a wonderful two-hour birthday celebration. My friend was very enthused and proclaimed, "this is a place I will be sure to return to". We both ordered the Salmon Caprese which was a daily special. I liked it so much that my husband and I returned to Peppers for dinner in hopes of ordering it again. The waitress said at 6:15 they were already out of the Salmon it was so popular. I had no problem finding a second choice as shown in the photo I am adding. The service was excellent, and our server returned several times to ask if we had everything we needed. I am happy they are only 16 miles from home. read more

Peppers - Top is Friday Fish Fry Bottom - Broiled Fish with Sauce and Rice with Cabbage Slaw w oil and vinegar dressing. - Delis Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my dad. All the staff were super friendly and greeted us upon entering. Our waitress was very attentive checking on us several times as well as another staff member making sure everything was going well. We arrived about 10 minutes after opening on a Wednesday. It was picking up and seemed to get quite busy towards the noon hour. We were seated in a cozy little booth and it was relatively quiet during our meal in the restaurant. Our food was delicious and I will definitely eat here again. read more

Great variety on their menu. From burgers to pasta. Sadly I didn't save room for dessert but they looked great. Service was friendly and fast. Their quiche of the day was great. Bacon, caramelized onion and cheese. Delicious. If you are a soup lover they have a great daily selection. read more

Peppers - Quiche and a cup of soup - Delis Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

Pepper's use to be my favorite place to eat with my family or alone on my lunch break. They have gotten rid of so many of my favorites I won't go there anymore. 20 years of going to a restaurant twice a week and they have removed another of my favorites from their menu. Very disappointing. read more

Love peppers! Good service. Fantastic salads! Cute place to go for lunch or dinner.

The environment is very family friendly. The host helped us get our newbornborn child situated at our booth; both our server and the rest of the staff were friendly and had a smile on their face. The food was decent but nothing to write home about, the wrap was a little cold and the chicken was a bit rubbery. For a greasy spoonrestaurant, I would recommend if you can't find anything else. read more

Peppers - Chicken Philly Sandwhich with Sweet Potato Friesand BBQ Chicken Wrap - Delis Near Me - Canandaigua, New York

We had a short wait to be seated, Waitress was extremely busy, after we ordered it was a good 30 minute wait until we received our order. Upon receipt the waitress came back two minutes later and asked how everything was. We had not gotten to take more than a small bite. The food was over cooked to the point of being like shoe leather. ( I requested my burger to be medium, it was well past well done) the fries were hard. The meatball sandwich left a lot to be desired, the potato chips were so hard and no flavor they could not be eaten. Not worth the money. read more

Stopped in for lunch on an early Monday afternoon. Wasn't overly busy but steady with people coming & going. Friendly and attentive staff. Kind of family restaurant feel. Booths & tables. Clean. Food was good. Had chef salads and chicken nuggets so not complicated dishes to prepare. Will return to try other dishes. read more

I can only give this place a four star rating because I was definitely not completely satisfied. I will however start out by saying the actual wraps and sandwiches are priced pretty decent for a place like this, however the other pasta and such meals are too high. I had "Jumbo Shells" the first time I went and they were in fact NOT jumbo whatsoever. I received 5 small stuffed shells with sauce. This was over $20. Jumbo Stuffed shells are way larger everywhere else I've ever gotten them. This time I got the Porky's Nightmare and my wife got the chicken Philly. The wrap I had was extremely good and had a lot of good flavor. Texas slaw was good as well. My wife's chicken Philly was also good, but served on roll and not a hoagie roll and came with what I assume to of been French dip sauce. It was also very good. Now, where I find the biggest problem and ripoff is the desserts. We tried a couple lives of pie and the they were mediocre. However, the cost of them was the issue. We got very small, would even say tiny slices and they were $9 each. One slice was definitely not even close to an actual slice of pie anywhere else I've ever been. Dessert is not worth the price here. Other than that, all else was good. read more

Judy deserves HIGH PRAISE for her incredible service. We were a group of 17 and running late. It was noon and we called ahead to let them know, and thought we might have to pass due to our tight schedule. Judy encouraged us to come, took the orders with lightning speed, and delivered every order correcly and promptly! Did I mention we all had separate checks? KUDOS TO JUDY, compliments to the chef for the delicious food, and thanks to the efficient cashier whose kindness and efficiency completed our wonderful experience. read more

First we waited 45 minutes for a pizza and Caesar salad. Three tables of customers came in after us, had a different server and had there meals before ours. we had Cece as our server. very inattentive and poor service. The pizza was burnt and not edible. There was no compensation for poor service or poor meal. I Do not recommend. will not go back. read more

We celebrated a family event at Pepper's with a party of 15, ordering burgers, wings, sandwiches, soups, salads, pasta dishes, quesadillas, pie and coffee, and everything in between. Despite our huge party, our orders flew out of the kitchen quickly, and oyr meals were perfectly prepared and delicious. Our server was phenomenally friendly and attentive. I can't think of a thing that could have been better: we're excited to come back. read more

Had dinner there with the fam. Wonderful experience! Will definitely return! I Excellent service and wonderful ambiance!

Great food! Great Service! They strive to ensure you have the perfect meal!!! Desserts are also great!!

With a family of 5 it's difficult to find a restaurant we all give 5 stars. This one was great! The prices seemed a little high but once we started eating I realized this was not your typical restaurant food. This is homemade gourmet "real" food! The lobster bisque was unique and had a sweet taste and a bit of (I think) ginger. So good! My kids and I shared the trio and loved it and were stuffed. The service was great. Our server was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is a stylish and cozy sit down restaurant. I highly recommend saving room for dessert... or starting with it. Homemade desserts that taste like Girl Scout cookies. Plan about $15 + per persons. Totally worth it! read more

march 14 2024, We stopped in to Peppers for dinner. In the past they have always had a great assortment of soups to choose from. Not tonight. i ordered the Southwest chicken salad- very good. We also ordered Lasagna . We have always been very happy with it, the sauce is excellent. This time something changed, the portion is something you might expect for a lunch. The portion was small[almost a joke]and it was served with dinner rolls [in the past it was Italian bread] So for this small piece of Lasagna with a small salad and dinner roll it was $25. I can go to an Italian restaurant on 332 in Farmington , get a bigger portion , great salad and Italian bread for less. Needless to say we probably won't be going back. We also found there are new owners. Good luck to the new owners if this is the path you are taking read more

Haven't been here in a long while, def not since it changed hands. Disappointed! I love New England clam chowder & it was the soup of day so I ordered the half sandwich w/soup which I upgraded to a bowl. This was not NE Clam Chowder that I know! It was not white but looked like cream of chicken. I did find a few bits of clams & potatoes, but it had celery, carrots, & corn, plus a tang in the flavor - it was ok, but certainly NOT NE Clam Chowder. Hubs patty melt was dry, and flavorless. The medium cook looked more well done. We're done with this place. So many other places to eat in Canandaigua. read more

I walked in and the women nearest the door asked "Can I help you?" as if I were lost or she'd never thought a female could eat a la solo. Further confirmed by her comment "Oh only you." when I asked for a table. I ordered the creamy smoked tomato soup which came out quickly. It was delicious, kind of reminding me of bbq sauce but the consistency was lovely. Reuben was disappointing. The corned beef was tender and thinly sliced but the consistency resembled regular low grade sandwich meat. The sauerkraut was dripping, hadn't been squeezed so my sandwich sogged out on one side before I could have the first bite. I opted for the side of Peppers slaw vs Texas slaw, it was good, heavy on the celery seed. My waitress was friendly and attentive. I'd come back and try something else, the soup was good. read more

We were there last night (3/16/23) and my husband had the special of corned beef & cabbage. He said it was great. I had the shrimp scampi which used to be my favorite dish but last night it was awful. It is supposed to come with a parmesan cream sauce. It came in a pool of butter with some parm on it. The pasta was cooked in unsalted water and had no flavor and there was no creamy sauce. I was very disappointed. That is the last time I order that dish. Has this place changed hands? They had no liquor license either. read more

A stretch to give them 1 star. The food was ok at best. However, terrible service and management. Called ahead to ask for a table to accommodate and gave name to handle the check for guests. When we entered and were met at the door I was greeted by name. She knew about the call ahead and requests made. Waitress couldn't smile and seemed bothered when questions were asked while ordering. In the end she gave the check and took payment from my guests. When I complained management and everyone else used an insanity plea for no memory of the original call or requests. (Oops - forgot my name) Insanity defines the crew. So, if you're not one of their regulars don't assume any respect or honest follow through. Won't be a problem for me in the future. Canandaigua has plenty of good restaurants and a couple hot dog carts on the City Pier that certainly outshine this group. read more

This place was amazing just drove by it looking for a place glad we went back! Chicken Parmigiana was really good but the Chicken French was out of this world. Service was great a little slow at first but she was training so totally understandable would highly recommend. read more

Great food and friendly people! We stopped in by chance one day. We will be back again soon to enjoy this restaurant.

I phoned Peppers last minute to request a pan of lasagna for a party I was having. They were happy to accommodate me, in spite of the time crunch. They provided a huge pan of lasagna, plus a container of extra sauce. The meal was delicious and my guests were impressed! We appreciated their personal cheerful service and loved their famous 5-layer lasagna! read more

We have been to Peppers a few times over the past 6 months. Each time we have been here the service was great and the food fantastic. My wife has been here with co-workers and her mother; they have all raved about Peppers. It's great comfort food and selections have us returning time and time again. read more

Peppers turned out to be an excellent choice for a late lunch . The service was prompt and attentive and the food high quality. The Black and Blue steak salad was not only tasty with a very good balsamic dressing and the right amount of blue cheese crumbles but really did have cut filet which was perfectly prepared and very tender and the presentation was well done. My wife had the linguine with clam sauce which had both chopped clams and clams in the shell . All told a must stop read more

Once again, I called Peppers for a holiday party and they didn't let me down. Their 5 layer lasagna is delicious and everyone loved it! They sure make entertaining simple! read more

Great service, great food, great prices... Salads were fresh and delicious, as were the homemade soups. Definitely will return next time back to Canandaigua! read more

last evening, my mother and I took a joyride to sightsee as she is elderly and doesn't get out much/does not drive anymore... Long story short, we found Peppers, and we chalked it up to a diner, which was fine with us. Upon entering, we saw the delicious specials board and the friendly, welcoming greetings.... I had an interesting salad on my mind, and Bam! There it was the grilled chicken with roasted beets over spinach! It is one of the most delicious salads I've had in a long time, and I am a cook, who appreciates lovely, fresh vegetables, especially when they are roasted! mom had the stuffed shells with meatballs, and she was delighted! Our server, Alicia, was most hospitable and knowledgeable about the menu, as she is a part-time cook there! We ordered the strawberry layer, cake and lemon, meringue pie to go, and to our surprise, Alicia had slipped us to a nicest big pieces!!(tasted, homemade and divine) an unexpected surprise, We definitely highly recommend,and we will return!-Marci from Rochester read more

The food was pretty good and the waitress was good. However, if you have a child with special needs who may have difficulty being quiet in a noisy environment, then this isn't the place for you. An employee came over once and made a comment about him making noise. Then she came back later and told my kids to sit down (they were right next to the table) and to be quiet. After I told said person my son has Autism, she came back after some time and apologized. It rubbed me the wrong way and the apology seemed like an afterthought. read more

Had lunch at Pepper's today and was glad we did! Great food and service. Especially liked the Pepper's Slaw which is Oil and Vinegar based.

Absolutely the worst quiche (served dried up and just this side of burnt black). Ordered a combo quiche and soup and was charged extra for the soup (no indication that this was going to happen) which would have been bad enough if it hadn't been awful. The waitress was rude and slow. When I complained about the meal I was told they hoped it wouldn't effect whether we returned Hmmm we will not be returning, why would we? read more

March 7, 2019 5 PM - 6 PM Wine is sold in small bottles that contain only two glasses. 15 bucks a bottle. The size of the bottle is not advertised on the menu. My wife had the hay and straw. I had the veal parmigian. Salad was small. Complimentary bread was stale. Hay and Straw was oily and underseasoned. Veal was the consistency of shoe leather. Brought ONLY the veal to the attention of management at the end of the meal. Did not receive obligatory "we are terribly sorry." Received "you should have flagged me down" "you should have told the waitress." and "I am sorry that you did not say something" AND management was SHOCKED when I said that I believe a meal should be cooked correctly on the first try. It isn't my responsibility to monitor their kitchen. Thursday night. The place was less than 1/4 full. Now I know why. read more

Good service and great food. The lobster bisque is fantastic as well as the smoked gouda tomato soup. Lots of yummy desserts. Fast service and a pleasant atmosphere read more

Peppers used to be one of my favorite places for a casual dinner/date night. I was very sad when it closed randomly a few years back with no warning. Ever since it reopened under new ownership, I've been dying to get back to Canandaigua and create some new memories at an old favorite. I went on a Friday night, and as was common back in the day, this place was hopping. Super busy, the parking lot was packed. However, we didn't have to wait very long at all. Maybe ten minutes, no longer than that. The vibe inside is extremely similar to what I remember. There's a nice mix of clientele, which should tell you that the food is just good; appeals to everyone. We tried the fried calamari as an appetizer, and then I had the black and blue salad while my friend had the buffalo chicken wrap. His wrap didn't seem to be very full, so portion size was a little disappointing, but he said flavor was good and that he didn't regret his choice. My salad was AMAZING. I ordered my steak medium rare, and it came out cooked exactly as I ordered, perfectly juicy and flavorful. I could eat this salad once a week, it's that good. I didn't love the calamari, there was just nothing special about their presentation, and I've had better calamari at many, many other places. I wouldn't reorder. The restaurant was clean, staff seemed generally pleasant, and the prices are very reasonable. I will say, the acoustics in Peppers are pretty bad, and when it's busy it can be very hard to hear even someone sitting right next to you without yelling a little bit or talking directly into their ear. I'm taking off one star because the calamari just wasn't very good, and they could definitely be portioning wrap stuffings a little bit better. In addition, our waitress did seem to be a little but rushed, and while it's common for any server to state the specials for the day at basically any other restaurant, she just pointed to the chalkboard and told us that she doesn't like reading the specials and that if we wanted to know them to read the board. I don't think she was trying to be rude, but the board was not in a convenient location for us to read it, and the list wasn't extensive; it would have taken her a minute to help us out and tell us what they were. All in all, I was not disappointed by this return trip, and I will certainly be back. read more

Have been coming here for years. I have felt that the food quality has been going down hill. Decided to give it one more chance. There are so many other places to spend your money. Ordered our food and waited and waited and waited. Not many customers while we were there so just don't know why it took so long. We finally get our food and I look at my sandwich and go...hummmm?? Ordered the red osier beef with crumbly blue cheese and horseradish sauce. I see the very minimal roast beef but can't see anything on it. So very disappointed. How can I justify charging 11.00 for a sandwich and having it be made with mostly bread? The bread was delicious by the way. Last chance for us...moving on read more
