Location:
In the Fiddler’s Cove shopping center on Van Dyke and 33 Mile Road. Peppers was one of the most anticipated store openings we’ve seen in the 4+ years we’ve lived in Romeo.
Description:
Romeo is short on variety for dining out. There are plenty of places that offer the same types of food. So when Peppers came to Romeo, there was a lot of excitement that we were getting a decent Mexican restaurant. (Bear in mind that most Romeo people think Taco Bell is an acceptable Mexican-style food.) Inside is a well decorated and clean restaurant. The food on the menu is… Mexican! One thing that I love about Peppers is their $5 lunch specials. And while Peppers got a bad rap for poor food when they first opened it has consistently gotten better. While I wouldn’t label it "true, authentic" the food there is pretty good. Staples like tacos and burritos, chips and salsa.
Service:
I’m a repeat customer as we go about once per week for lunch. In the process we’ve gotten to know most of the wait staff. They are always friendly and thoughtful. (Most be those big tips I give!) They are always quick witted and most important for a lunch crowd… they are fast.
Cost:
A typical lunch stop at Peppers cost me about $8 with a drink and chip/salsa. (One of the few places that charges for chips. There’s are homemade and worth getting.) I’ve always been surprised that more people don’t go there after church as their lunch specials are featured on Sunday as well. All-in-all, it’s a very reasonably priced local eatery.
Rating:
Decent food at a good price with fast, fun service. While not perfect, they are definitely changing my first opinion of Peppers. (When they opened we spent an hour before we got our food and the food was bad.) There is a reason Peppers is high on my list, that’s why I’m labeling it "Great."
