What the heck happened to a great place for breakfast. So sad. Waitress had no clue. No creamer for coffee. No silverware till we asked for some. When you bring food to a table you think she’d have time to bring it out or have it available on a counter? Really sad.

Food was awesome! Place is super laid back! The service staff was exceptional! Legit. The cook must be a seasoned veteran as everything came out super quickly and charred to utter perfection! I ‘high’ly suggest their heirloom lemonades with CBD & THC infusion. They are reefereshing!

If it was possible to leave a half star I would and it would only be because I liked the music that was on the short time we were there. We sat at the bar next to a couple who had gotten there about a minute before us they were nice and all smiles. After a couple minutes the bartender got drinks for our party but definitely seemed like she didn’t want to. An older group came in and waited several minutes they flagged her down and got their drinks. The couple that was there before us still had not been waited and it was quite obvious that they were being avoided all together, at this point we decided to leave, it seemed like they were this appeared to be a race thing, these were well groomed polite people. No way would we ever go back. Maybe you are short staffed at peepers and no I’m not going to apply, I already work with the public and I have never had a complaint about my treatment of a person. It may be hard to find new staff but nowhere on the island did anyone have this attitude. Best of luck to you in the future, we’d love to return and see a different culture!

This place has dramatically changed since my last trip to Kelley's and not for the better. They have limited their food options, raised their prices and lowered the quality of the food.
Food came out undercooked and cold despite being the only patron in the restaurant. They served with plastic cutlery and paper plates. Makes one wonder the other short cuts the kitchen is taking in prep work.
The establishment is also pretty dirty.

I do not recommend visiting this location. Waste of money and time.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Peepers Bar and Restaurant over this last week, mainly due to needing WiFi for work. Not only did I find a great spot to get some work done, but I also discovered a gem in terms of food, drinks, and service.

Food: The portions are generous, and the flavors are amazing. I highly recommend trying the Hog Rolls—they are simply delicious and a must-try on the menu.

Drinks: If you’re looking for something unique and tasty, you’ve got to try a strawberry shot. The drinks menu is diverse and caters to all preferences.

Service: What really puts this place above the rest is the service. I’ve had the pleasure of being served by two of the best bartenders I’ve ever met. Shout out to Kenzie and Morgan—getting to know them over the last week has been a highlight of my time here. They are friendly, attentive, and make everyone feel welcome.

Overall: Peepers Bar and Restaurant stands out not just for its great food and drinks, but also for its exceptional service and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you need a place to work or just want to enjoy a fantastic meal and drinks, this is the place to be. Thanks again to Kenzie and Morgan for making my experience so memorable!

Worst place ever very confusing place to navigate, staff dont speak unless spoken too. Food was cold, no server, got to get all your own stuff, then they ask for a tip???, save ur money this place sucks!

Absolutley the most confusing place ive ever ate. There is no waitress at all. You have to go up to a counter to order, but theres no clear direction telling you that. Also you have to grab your own silverware, and no one tells you that. They give you a buzzer for when ur food is done, you get your own drink. Food was cold, had gotten breakfast, toast was just bread and butter not toasted at all. Watched multiple customers come in and they also was very confused on what to do... and staff walks past them not offering a bit of help. A $50 breakfast for 2 i expect to have atleast hot food broght to my table. Lol shoulda just hit mcdonalds before coming. This place isnt worth the money!

I know I had a p pretty good time there years ago when it was Bag the Moon. They had good strawberry shots. I was just wondering why new owners only reply to positive reviews. Was planning on going on trip there, but sounds like this place may have soured under new owners. Am I wrong?

Everything is great but the ribs and hog rolls are on another level! Get the spicy sauce!! The to-go-to place on the Island to dance the night away and they have an awesome d.j. on the weekends!! Plus strawberry shots!!

We have been here a few times and it use to be a great place. There seems to be a major management problem lately. hours are very inconsistent. Multiple times I show up during their business hours and they are closed. Covid is over and staffing concerns shouldNot be an excuse as long as you pay market wages.

Had a very very strange experience with the bartender/owner yesterday… My fiancé, his sibling, and myself were made to feel unwanted. We were the only people in the entire bar for most of our experience here. We had came for the strawberry shots (which are honestly pretty good) and had planned on staying for a little bit to talk amongst each other as this was the first bar we had stopped at. After our second drink (my first being a strawberry shot and my second drink being a water), the bartender handed my fiancé our check out of the blue. We felt like we were not welcome after this as we had not asked for the check and had told her prior we were planning on staying a bit. We had only been in the bar for about 15 minutes before she gave us the check. After we cashed out and got up to leave, the bartender stopped us and told my fiancé and I to come back when his sibling was “normal”. Not sure what that even means but it was so bizarre and off putting. For reference his sibling is neurodivergent, so sometimes he is not the best at socializing.

It's crazy how one of the best bbq joints in the area is right here on Kelly's island.
