The Pepper

Yahr Hanafi

We went there for lunch based on the reviews. The food was ok not too bad but not exceptional either. We ordered tortilla soup, Chimichanga, Seafood Enchiladas and Fish tacos. Everything had lots of rice, beans and tons of cheese with it. The soup reminded us of canned tomato soup with tortillas on top. It might be for you if you like cheese and lots of rice and beans, but it was not for us.

I finally got a chance to stop by The Pepper during my most recent visit to Plattsburgh after hearing so many great things. And, this is why my rating is 3 stars as opposed to the 1 star experience I personally had. I believe it was just an off day. Rumor was that two kitchen staffers quit and they were down a bartender, so the owners were in the kitchen and a volunteer from the firehouse was bartending. So unfortunately, the following unfolded: The kitchen was backed up so everyone's food was delayed. They were out of calamari... no heads up from the server. Our drinks were late... seemed to be the case with neighboring tables. My date's order was wrong and the preparation of the vegetarian burrito they did bring was not appealing. It was supposed to be pork. And the worst part was when we notified the server about the order, she seemed confused. Placing the order again would cause more delay it seemed and she didn't even offer to take the order off the check. The food was not eaten. Being that my date grew up in this town, they still paid for the food just to be supportive. It was all very disappointing and even with a change in staff, the servers could've taken care of the customers a bit better. Never charge someone for food they did not order or that you got mixed up. That should immediately be refunded and or given a comp in some way. Hospitality 101. The chips and salsa was delicious. And I'm sure the owners were not aware of some of these additional turn of events so I hope they have recovered. I'll check it out again when I return for a second chance since I've always heard great things.

Margaritas were great, fish tacos great, the rice was not tender a bit hard. Overall I would recommend.

My husband and I don't get to Plattsburgh as often as we would like, but when we do, The Pepper is a top choice for us. Great atmosphere and staff. The food, of course, is the best part. And the margaritas aren't bad either. Portion size is larger than you would expect. I had fish tacos and had never seen them so big. We can't wait to go back!
