Lunch time. Great rare roast beef sandwich, good burger, nice club sandwich, good wings, delicious French onion soup. Attentive service. Cute decor. read more

My first time eating at this place. Menu offered a lot. My friend got salad with chicken ( it was overdone & too hard to cut. Never be seated in the bar. It had a dirty bathroom and there were several ppl that got their food before us. My burger was burnt but I didn't send it back. The gluten free bun was too hard to eat. I had to wave the wait staff to get more tea. The curly ff were just ok & barely warm so not acceptable. I might give it one more try if I can be seated in the main dining area. read more

Me and my mom came here to celebrate a very late Mother's Day, and we were instantly impressed! Walked in and were immediately greeted and sat down. We were even given different options for seating. The cocktail menu here is amazing, so many options!!!! I ordered the Peach Mule, so tasty and refreshing! My mom got the Bee's Knees I believe it was called, she loved it!!! It was very summery and tasty as well. For apps, we tried the okra fries, which were absolutely perfectly seasoned and delicious!!! We also enjoyed the house made ranch that came with our app! My mom and I ordered burgers as our entrees and potato salad as a side. I got the apple bacon burger well done, it was meaty, cheesy, and so so perfect!!!! My mom got the pimento cheese burger also well done, she loved it. The potato salad was amazing!!!!! It was sweet, savory, creamy....it really ticked all the boxes for me. Our server was also the bartender, she was very attentive and funny, as well as helpful when we were trying to figure out what to order. I absolutely recommend this place!!!! Very elevated bar food, pretty affordable for how much you get and especially for the great quality and freshness!!!! Very convenient location, lots of parking! Clean bathrooms, clean dining area and bar, rustic and fun decor, local artists have paintings on the wall for sale! We just loved the fun and welcoming vibe of this place and we will be back!!!! Thank you!!!! read more

Random find on Yelp and Google. Excellent mean with a ton of food on the plate. First off -- some of the best mashed potatoes and the mac n cheese was next level. Fantastic! I went with meatloaf. Two large slices that are served with parm crusted and parm flakes on top. Excellent! My only suggestion, maybe add some gravy to top it off. My wife ordered the sirloin steak dinner. She ordered rare and they knocked it out of the park. Excellent. The onion rings are very good, I almost ordered a side of them. Speaking of appz, the Okra Fries are unique and actually pretty darn good. The French Onion Soup was okay, about average. Served a little cold and not very much flavor, oh well, win some lose some....... read more

I am in Boone for one night only for a work thing. My coworkers and I (6 in total) had dinner here. Now this is not a fancy place by any means but the staff were friendly and the food was good. I had a bowl of the French Onion Soup and I loved it. I also ordered 8 Mango Habanero wings and a small salad. Thinking I was hungry and could handle all that but it was too much food. I left full and happy... so did my coworkers read more

Ok, so I decided to give this place another chance because the food really is top shelf for the area! Our entrees were delicious, the server was great and the manager stopped by the table to express her concern about our previous experience. So, yes I would highly recommend this local spot! read more

GET THE FRENCH ONION SOUP!!!! It had so much cheese, they give you a cute mini scissor to cut it off your fork! It was the best F.O.S. I've ever had ANYWHERE!l and I have been to many states and many soups of this kind. We loved it so much, before we left the area, we made sure to stop by again just for the soup for lunch. Omg! read more

Visiting the area for the weekend and had just finished a hike. We searched for lunch places near us and saw this one with decent reviews. Despite it being homecoming weekend for App State, we didn't wait long. Hostesses were friendly, but our server seemed tired-she wasn't bad though. We ordered the fried mozzarella and okra fries as appetizers. The seasoning on the fries blew my mind and changed the game on okra. We really enjoyed that-the ranch was good, but totally not necessary. Some meals can hide behind condiments, but not this one. We ordered the Cowboy BBQ burger with Beyond...thank you for having that often! I loved the addition of the fresh onion rings on the burger. The steak fries were lacking in color, but my kids had no problem eating them. I preferred the curly fries. I also had the glass bottle Vernon Ginger Ale...it was mediocre-I like a "punch you in the throat" beverage. Would I return? Certainly. I have other items on the menu that I would like to try...that cake looks delicious. Cool decor and the spaces were clean. Bathroom was clean but out of soap. read more

We stopped here for lunch. A cute place inside. Kind of a cabin feel even though it's in a strip mall. We had the best service from Emily. We all had sandwiches and one had Caesar salad. My chicken sandwich was as expected. A bit tough actually but good flavor. read more

Over-the-Top amazingly GREAT service! Wren was very attentive! The food was great, as well ... Try the Blackened Mahi-mahi Tacos! And, you've gotta have a cup of the French Onion Soup -- complete with mini-scissors for the insane amount of cheese. :) read more

Service was very poor, and the overall experience was disappointing. The burgers were not cooked to the temperatures we requested, which was frustrating and unacceptable. When you order food a certain way, especially something as basic as burger doneness, it should be done correctly. Unfortunately, this visit did not meet expectations. read more

My family & I recently dined here on a Sunday afternoon. The hostess & server were kind. We made reservations expecting a crowd but we were seated as soon as we walked in & our order was promptly taken. Overall, none of us raved about the food but we didn't really have complaints either. The Onion Rings were pretty good & the drinks we ordered were strong. I'm not sure I would go back given so many other restaurant options in the area. read more

We came here on the recommendation of our friends. Pepper's has been open in Boone since 1975, and in this location for over 25 years! I can see why; friendly staff, lots of variety in the menu, reasonable prices.....they even have a full bar next door! We visited on a Thursday afternoon....there were 4 in our party. They have many appetizers, salads, sandwiches, etc. to choose from. There are also combinations. I ordered the turkey sandwich on a croissant. It was loaded with fresh turkey and Swiss cheese, plus the croissant was just slightly toasted. Yummy! I ordered the onion rings as my side item for $2 more, and they were arguably the best onion rings I've ever had! It was a wise decision. My husband had the French onion soup and a 1/2 a Reuben sandwich. The soup was hot, bubbly, and loaded with cheese. (It even came with a little scissors to cut the cheese....cute touch!). He said the sandwich and soup were both really good! He also had decent portion curly fries which he liked too. Both our friends also had the French onion soup and they both loved it. One had a small salad with hers that was a good size and had everything really fresh. The other had a 1/2 French dip sandwich which he said was delicious. This restaurant has a good following and the fact that it has been around so long speaks for itself! I'm sure we'll visit Pepper's again on our next Boone visit , and I'm sure we won't be disappointed! read more

Food is very good and so are prices. Service good. We were there before 5pm. Want to go back after 5 to try dinner entrees

Amazing food with friendly service. The French Onion is the best we have had, hands-down! Great sandwiches and burgers. Mud Pie for dessert! read more

Started with a wrong footing here. Came in for my reservation for two and we were told by a host to wait. Then only to notice 3 other group of people for two came who got seated right away by another host. I heard they have reservation same time as I did. The hosts are out of sync! I should have a walked away as that is not a good sign at all. Then one of the 3 hosts finally noticed us and asked if I had a reservation and I said yes with much annoyance visible and commented on about seeing others being seated. She was of course irritated and was whispering to others. Unprofessional! About the food, I tried their onion soup, it was ok. I also had their wedge salad with added chicken and the dressing was sour with bitter after taste. Disgusting! My son ordered an applewood bacon cheddar burger medium rare and his burger arrived well done. The only item that was worth it was the carrot cake. The service was very slow at the time we were there and the kitchen was way behind that service in other table was late and I heard other people were complaining. It was not a well run evening. Unprofessional hosts to begin with. read more

Awesome food as always! Service is always exceptional! And the ambience is wonderful!

Overall, it was ok. They were out of a few different IPA selections, which isn't the biggest deal but a little annoying. The spinach & artichoke dip was good, has huge chunks of artichoke so if you don't enjoy big chunks, just something to consider when ordering. The shrimp & grits had amazing flavor but the tails were left on the shrimp.... Weird in my opinion to eat shrimp and grits with the tails on. They have seasonal cheesecakes which sounds great but I personally wasn't interested in their current flavors (red velvet and Andes mint) read more

Came in on a Tuesday evening they have great food and drink specials, sat at the bar and had fast and friendly service. I chose the mahi tacos and a side salad, both were fantastic. Would come back again as the atmosphere was cozy and comforting. Great spot off the beaten path in Boone. read more

Always great service and consistency with burgers and I always order mine medium rare!

We've only had take out/delivery from Pepper's but really enjoy the food every time! The French dip with au jus sauce is a must have. We usually always order this without fail. The mushroom sub is a great vegetarian option with gooey cheese melted over mushroom and veggies on a hoagie. As a side, you can even add more mushroom to this and order the fried mushrooms. I ordered the salmon croissant before just wanting a healthier lunch. I really enjoyed this! I got the salmon grilled and the sandwich heated. read more

Haven't eaten here in several years due to moving away from the area. Was looking forward to dinner here. Our sampler appetizer platter was really good and hot/fresh. Thats where the deliciousness ended. My husband got soup and sandwich combo. The potato soup tasted lackluster and had a weird, grainy texture. Our server gladly replaced it with a vegetable soup. It was the most bland soup we've ever tasted. Didn't take more than 1 bite. Chicken teriyaki sandwich was just ok. We wanted to order from the after 5 p.m. dinner menu but were told the cook for that station didn't show up for work so we had to order from the sandwich menu. Very disappointed. read more

UPDATE AUG 2020: This restaurant is handling Covid like champs! They have a light system on every table to state the stage of sanitizing it has received or needs to receive. The staff wear masks and gloves. There is sanitizer at every table and a sanitizing station upon entry. I felt very safe dining here and that they are taking every precaution possible. The food is still ok but I appreciate their cleanliness and diligence. Still our annual first stop for Fall Break. The prices are a bit steep considering... Thankful for the discounted craft beer and nightly specials. Salad bar is always fully stocked. Service is good. Lengthy kid menu; kids are sure to find something they like. Hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pasta, chicken, etc read more

Awesome food and service. I have eaten at the restaurant for over 40 years. I love this place. Lots to choose from! You have to save room for the Mississippi Mud Pie. I love the atmosphere. One of my very favorite restaurants! read more

Local spot. Service was very friendly, and efficient. My Salad, and Okra Appetizer was delicious. However, my Bbq chicken wrap had way too much sauce, and small bits of chicken. Was more like a Bbq SAUCE wrap. My friend got the rueben, and said it was good. Fries were are tasty. I would return to try something else based on the friendly service alone. Convenient location when needing to make a Harris Teeter run, and hungry too! read more

I love this restaurant so much! Everything about this place is so cozy and warm. The staff is very friendly and the service is very fast. I had the delicious French onion soup which was amazing!

Pepper's Restaurant & Bar - French Onion Soup - American Near Me - Boone, North Carolina

This is the first restaurant I ever visited in Boone when I moved here 4 years ago. Although located in the Harris Teeter strip mall, the inside of the atmosphere is warm and inviting and exactly what you'd expect for a little mountain town. The menu options here are pretty vast, and this is a good place to take visitors or a group of people when everyone is wanting something different. The food isn't the best tasting in the entire world, of course, but it's definitely good and will "hit the spot," if you will. The french onion soup is literally the best I've ever had in my life. I crave it pretty frequently and have yet to find a soup better anywhere else. I actually never liked french onion soup until trying it here first. Do it. Oh yeah, in case people don't read the tips, I'd like to highlight that if you order anything "blackened" like blackened chicken in your pasta or your salad, it's actually unexpectedly spicy AF... which is fine, but just a heads up. read more

During a girl's trip to Blowing Rock, we stopped in Pepper's for some drinks and lunch after spending all day tubing. This place just really hit the spot.

Both stars are for the French Onion Soup. I ended up here after a quick Google search when a French Onion Soup craving hit while in Boone on a chilly day. It was truly delightful, salty and satisfying, so much bubbly cheese, and even a pair of scissors to help navigate that situation. The spinach salad was "meh" at best. The "seasonal vinaigrette" promised was overly sweet, highly processed, and obviously from a bottle. The atmosphere was rustic (read: visibly dusty) but appropriately Booney. The crowd was elderly, probably folks who have been coming here for years. The service was slow but friendly. But they really lost me when the check came. Nothing prepared me for a soup and salad lunch for one at a dinky joint situated in a shopping plaza next door to the Dollar Tree being $24. Just wow. read more
