“Phillies the way God - and Gary - intended.

Once every year or two I make the trip out to Colorado on I-80 and each time, I stop at this specific Pepperjax. I finally decided after 6+ visits over the last few years it was time I write a review. I’ve eaten at plenty of Pepperjax across the Midwest (and even worked at one) and can assure you this location stands among the best.

Standard order here - steak Philly with onion, mushroom, green + bananna pepper - with some house BBQ on the side. Side order of chips and salsa. Philly was (and has always been) cooked just right (NOT overdone) and portions of veggies were spot on. Chips were crispy (not stale) and salsa was super fresh.

Restaurant is squeaky clean. Service is prompt, friendly, and trained. Food quality is always outstanding and preparation is always correct. To me, consistency is the key indicator for quality - and I have always left pleasantly surprised thinking to myself…”yep, that’s how it’s supposed to be”.

Maybe I’m just lucky and catch them on a good day. But I think there’s a bit more going on here than just luck. Thank you, Kearney Pepperjax, for always being something to look forward to during my drives across Nebraska.“
