A good neighborhood stop. The ambiance of a friendly community bar/restaurant. The food is good and fairly priced, the beer is cold and the staff is friendly. A nice casual night out, what more can you ask for?

Excellent service and burgers! 5 of us for lunch. We all ordered different burgers and enjoyed them! Would definitely return!

Its been awhile since I'd been in here... this place screams "my owner lacks any pride they may have left for this restaurant". The food wasn't anything to rave about- I ordered a chicken caesar salad with chicken and onion. Lettuce was browning. And they forgot the onions, which I kindly asked our server to retrieve. At the booth I was sitting at (which was probably chewed up by a dog at some point) I could hear screaming in the kitchen, and while it didn't last long, it was disruptive. Found out later on it was female bartender with a bit of a short temper. I think I'll go elsewhere.

Food is always good here.I have been coming to Peppercorns for years and I don't know what happened here???I can't believe how aggressive their waitress and bartender are.I understand it was a busy night unfortunately they were really rude.They don't know how to deal with customers.Their attitude was very bad

Good food and very nice staff. I recommend the hangover burger! Drinks are good too.

Sloppy business owner. Neglectful in function of kitchen, floor staff, appearance, quality of most items, and basic needs to function, examples being kitchen equipment, gloves, proper sanitary care for staff, air conditioning, etc. Personal business should not cross with daily business - maybe its time to stop running the place like a playhouse, perhaps an actual adult rather than an overgrown little girl? Absolutely embarrassing.

What happened to this restaurant? Once a great place to eat and grab a drink. Not sure if it's a new chef. Food is expensive and tastes awful. Bar tender's wife was breastfeeding at the bar. A little awkward for the few guy's trying to have a cocktail. If you order a drink on the rocks they charge you for the ice. Response from the owner which is total BS according from an owner at another local bar. Knowing that they are overcharging is not exactly enjoyable experience. The typical scotch pour is approximately 1.5oz 2oz. Most establishments require their bartenders to use jiggers to meticulously pour and make sure the drink does not exceed that. Obviously anyone who has been to peppercorns we do not use a jigger nor is our pours typical. I do apologize for the confusion with the rocks. No we do not charge for ice. What we do is pour more when it is on the rocks so our guests can enjoy the flavors of their scotch, bourbon, or whiskey cold without losing much of the flavor profile due to ice watering it down. We charge $1 for that experiencing, not double or 1.5x. We do have some wine selection. I apologize for not having as many as other restaurants. We also pour more than a 5oz pour. Our standard house by the glass starts at $8. Most house pours in Bergen county start at $12. Their wine menu by the glass range from as low as $8 and as high as $75. We try to give our guests as much variety as we can. I apologize for any confusion and I hope this explains some of the comments. I would love to see y'all again. I'm not a franchise or have 20 restaurants. I have Peppercorns so your feedback and support is listened to and appreciated.

Oh no! What happened to this restaurant?? We live locally so it's convenient. We went yesterday and it was not good at all. New chef? New owner? The waitress was sweet but obviously not trained properly. Mussel appetizer- good. Steak tip appetizer- sent back, inedible. No manager came to check in after this. Touch meat, really bad sauce. Steak sandwich special- uggghhh, again tough poor quality meat. Wild salmon entree- overcooked salmon, broccoli with garlic, the cook literally took the broccoli out of the boiled water and put it on the plate with the salmon and my salmon was sitting in broccoli water. Dinner time on a Sunday with families and kids. The bar was playing heavy metal music. What?? Somebody come in and save this restaurant!

Went to Peppercorns for dinner last night. I ordered the buffalo chicken salad. It was a generous portion with great flavored buffalo wings on top of the salad. If you enjoy a good blue cheese, you would be happy with this. My friend ordered the turkey dinner. He was very happy and it had a very sizable portion. All in all a good meal. Our waitress seemed a little flighty, but got the job done. They have a new receipt system, which was giving her a hard time, but she figured it out. Would certainly go to again.

The food & service was just average. Nothing spectacular here. The atmosphere is that of a pub. We stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday at around 1:30pm. Took quite awhile to get a Cesar salad with grilled chicken, a bowl of soup & a chicken cutlet sandwich though it was quite crowded. Not worth the prices.

Service was great. Food was good! Definitely seemed like a lot of regulars but as a first timer I was treated well.

Where do I start? We ordered drinks and water, we were 5 people. My beer and a bloody mary came in about 10 minutes . We waited for our guests to get their drinks to toast another 10 minutes, no lie. Called the server over, 5 more minutes and the other 3 bottled drinks came. He brought our water....4 waters for 5 people.and my guest. Myself and my guest ordered Chili. He asked if we wanted onions. I said, sure, why not. When it did come out it was literally at room temperature. I peeled back the cheese topping and there was about a teaspoon of onion on top, ( I'll get to that later.) We both sent it back. I specifically told our server make it hot, very hot. 10 minutes later again it comes out....warm. I'm not doing this again, we ate it warm. I asked for hot sauce...it never came. Round 2: The meal. My guest orders a cheeseburger only, it comes out with no cheese and has lettuce and tomato on it (I'll get to that in a sec). My wife orders corned beef and cabbage special with Irish soda bread, that comes out....no soda bread. Takes another 5 plus minutes to get that. Round 3: The bill. The bill comes, wow. My wife had ordered the Bloody Mary (weak) $14.50. Additional charges, $1 for 1 leaf of lettuce that we didn't order. $1 for a slice of tomato we didn't order. $1 dollar for a teaspoon of onion on the Chili. $2 for swapping onions rings for French fries. Got about 8 onion rings and a $6+ swipe fee. This isn't some fancy restaurant, just a run of the mill bar restaurant, jeans and a T shirt if you like. Needless to say we'll never go back again. I'm surprised we didn't get charged for the salt and pepper and ketchup.If you do go, don't say you weren't warned.

I went here on a Friday evening with another couple for dinner after trying this place earlier in the summer. For some context, I've never eaten here before because when I went here with my wife during the summer our waitress never checked in with us after giving us menus for the 30 minutes we stayed before leaving.Recently, we were invited out for dinner here with another couple. Our waitress seemed flustered and forgot things easily. I had to go to the bar to get waters for the table. My Moscow Mule cocktail tasted ok but tasted like it had zero alcohol. We also got an order of "jumbo" buffalo/chili wings. The wings were tough and the BBQ sauce tasted like your typical 99c BBQ sauce bottle.I tried the French Dip sandwich and was simply stunned at what I received. The roll was your typical soft hero roll from a bag, stuffed with COLD roast beef that was raw in the middle. It was completely inedible and honestly disgusting to expect customers to chew through a cold sandwich with raw beef. I brought this up with our waitress and she said others have complained about the same thing in the couple of days before this. Wouldn't that be a hint to the kitchen? Ended up ordering a BBQ burger which took forever to come out (~30 minutes). The only reason this place gets two stars is because the burger was actually decent, and the bun was fresh.At the end, the waitress still included the returned French Dip sandwich after saying it would be removed. Had to get it corrected and wasted more time. Not worth visiting this dreary restaurant with poor service and food. Better off with a burger and fries from Wendy's.

Sadly, the quality is not what it used to be. Since new management took over much has changed. I ordered a burger medium well and it was cooked rare. They used to have the best fries and now they have low quality fries that taste like cardboard. They removed the chicken dumpling soup off of their menu. We are so disappointed!
