“We both had shrimp, and it was all very good. The service was outstanding.“

“Been a long time since I've been here, but the environment hasn't changed that much, if at all.New servers, kind of the same menu but with some items removed. No more Reuben sliders anymore, which is sad. They still have the Reuben pizza full time though.Our server was very kind and pretty attentive. We came at a somewhat odd time so the place was noisy for a bit, but died off rather quickly.I just chose random food myself, and went with the double bypass cheeseburger. It's two big chunks of meat basically on a bun. The meat seemed to be a little heavy on black pepper, but I personally like pepper myself. Might be a turn off for others though. Added bacon and pepperjack and got a side of onion straws.Other than the extra amount of pepper (and to my knowledge I actually don't remember seeing pepperjack on the burger), it was a decent meal.The price for the food was pretty high, so this will probably be a "once in a while" place still for quite a long time.Parking here is still usually a pain as well, by the way.“

“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.“

“Just wanted to say thank you to the guys working the counter today. They were so friendly and helpful and I got just what I wanted! The brisket Sandwich was delicious. Sincerely, the frozen lady craving brisket.“
