"we go here a lot, and it's one of our favorite foods to eat and one we can usually be consistently good. we usually go to breakfast or lunch, dinner very rare. we had visited family and decided to go to dinner and we were a little disappointed because it was not the norm. I guess Sunday night is not a good night to go? there were only 3-5 tables of guests at most within the hour we were there and it was surprisingly difficult to get the attention of a server from the two working. they totally ignored us when we tried to get their attention at several locations, and she wasn't even friendly when she helped our server to bring our food out. the other who was actually our server was very nice and friendly, but seemed to treat most work; waiting for the tables to get drinks from the bar, and much time on the computer to spend ordering in and checked. then, at 6:20 the other server came out of the kitchen with a bucket and mop! suddenly there was this terrible strong smell of clorox. not something they want to meet when eating. I'm sorry for those who just start their meal or eat. it wasn't even 6:30! Luckily we just finished our meal and were happy as it actually made our eyes water. but it took 20 minutes after I got our check before I finally got up and went to the register so I could close our ticket. the food was not as good as it is in the rule. we have approached the place before going and then nobody was really impressed by eating. Not bad, just in order. as regrettable as it is a place we can normally count on to be consistently good. do not think that we are going back to dinner on Sunday, as it does not seem to be a good time to go."

"If you’ve read my other reviews, you know that I try to shy away from chain restaurants. Anytime I travel I try to find local places to eat at. Pepper’s is one of those local restaurants that I’ve frequented over the years whenever I pass through Boone. My favorite thing about Pepper’s has always been their salad bar. They always had a nice selection of choices and was a good way to start the meal. When I walked in tonight I noticed that the salad bar was gone. I asked about this, and my waiter said they got rid of it and that they offer various salad choices now with your meal. I ordered the meat loaf with roasted vegetables and a side garden salad for my dinner. After a few minutes my waiter came back and informed me that they didn’t have meatloaf and asked if I wanted to order something else. I ordered blackened chicken pasta instead. I also asked for a coke as I had been traveling and was tired and needed a bit of a pick me up. I was informed their coke machine was down and they couldn’t serve soft drinks at this time. My salad had a lot of beet root leaves in it. I am not a fan of beet root leaves and would’ve never picked that from the old salad bar. I didn’t think the pasta was good. I wouldn’t order it again. My wife ordered the French dip sub and said the sandwich was ok. Another change to the Pepper’s menu is that they used to offer thick fluffy steak fries with their sandwiches. These fries were thin and very hard. My wife didn’t like them. I’ve had good experiences at Pepper’s over the years, but don’t think I’ll come back again given the changes that they have made to their menu."
