We went here twice and the food wasn't bad--but it would have been nice for the service to rank up there with the food. Our orders were screwed up both times! The first time I asked for one sandwich and got another. Rather than send it back, I just alerted the waitress and finished it. After we were done, the waitress said it was a good thing because the sandwich I ordered was more expensive anyway. The second time my husband asked for an Italian sub, mayo on the side, peppers on the side, no oil. We didn't get peppers and the sub was slathered with oil and when we brought it to the waitresses attention she denied culpability and said she put it in the system correctly. We had a gift card and at the end, they couldn't figure out that transaction either, so we were delayed checking out as well.

I want to love this place. I think I'm chasing a dream. I get really good meat sauce here. But it's so inconsistent. One dish has barely any to cover the pasta. One has almost just almost enough. I even order extra meat sauce to try and compensate for the variable in the consistency of execution. What is it gold? I will pay! Just give me what I want! Frustrated. It's a great product. Just can't relay what the customer wants to the chef I'm guessing.

The bar area is a decent hang out, but service is not great overall. The food is decent if you go thinking of bar food, however if you are looking for a good authentic Italian spot, this is not it. Prices would be ok if the food was on par, but again it's not.

I'd consider my family and I regulars of Peppers. You can't go wrong with some Classic Italian dishes and specials worth asking about. Owners and managers have increased seating areas to accommodate a large crowd in the past year. This place usually carries a good crowd and special for the eagles game...the bartenders keep it real and most of the locals love bitching about the phillies. This place is great if you want a cold beer and some good food. Just don't come on Wednesdays. JoJo's loud and obnoxious and majority of the participants cheat some way.

I went here on Saturday evening a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. We ordered VEAL VALDOSTANDO with greasy potatoes and string beans and SAUTÉED SCALLOPS. I got a side of ANGEL HAIR pasta with aioli sauce(which is has oil ,herbs, garlic (instead of tomato) I originally wanted a different pasta side( either tortellini, ravioli or gnocchi. She said she could do it but she was going to charge is over 6 bucks extra for it( where the side was free otherwise) I declined.( keep in mind if this was any other restaurant they would have charged me only a couple dollars extra) The entrees itself were good( especially my scallops) -however the ANGEL HAIR pasta was awful. it was all oil ,with not enough herbs or taste to it. This pretends to be an Italian place but it isn't. Its for people who don't have a clue what Italian food is. There are better choices in the area. My gf ordered water .I ordered a diet soda The soda is supposed to be free refills like everywhere else. It wasn't. they charged me for each refill( and I had 3). If it wasn't free like everywhere else they should have TOLD ME. The waitress asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. We declined, but when I was expecting her to come back with the check she instead came back with a gigantic dessert cart in order to temp us. This is a very very greedy thing to do. I don't really blame the waitress. I blame the restaurant for being so cheap and greedy. IM sure the owners put her up to it. When I was in any other restaurant in this area( or anywhere else)..IF the waiter/waitress asked me for dessert, and we say NO thank you, They let it go. Not this place!. We were sitting 2 tables away from a couple. and she did the exact same thing to them!. All they did was take something to go. The decor of the main dining areas is pretty- it reminds you of a cafe in Tuscany ( from what I was told its newly renovated), but when you go to the bar area, Not so good. It has the atmosphere of a 3rd rate sports bar. Its very dingy, and apparently the place attracts ALOT of very low class poorly dressed people with a lot of tattoos, a lot of piercings. Not exactly a family type place. Also the glasses they serve with meals, ARENT glass. They are cheap plastic ones you would find at a crappy pizzeria. You can get glasses at the dollar store guys! spend a few bucks! We were shocked because the prices aren't exactly cheap for a lot of their entrees and the decor looked like it was nice with cute wooden chairs. This made little sense to us. I have been to every single restaurant in KOP. This is the only one that isn't packed(I m putting that very politely ) on a Saturday evening during DINNER TIME( no wonder huh!), and this is the only one that charges you for refills. Coincidence? I think not. They have low foot traffic so they have to get money out of whoever walks in. ( paid refills and coercing you to have dessert )It's a real disgrace. I've been here, I think several times before but I never noticed that my refills cost $$( unless the owners just implemented that policy recently) Needless to say from what I've just discovered, I don't think we will be going back Not unless they start giving way free refills, make pasta better, and not being so greedy with the desserts or expensive side dish alternatives. Not to mention cheap plastic cups Not recommended

Thank you Peppers for a wonderful night. I picked Peppers for my engagement/engagement party. They accommodated 15 people in their front room for all of my guest. Very private and comfortable. Cheri was our waitress and she deserves 5 stars. She was constantly in the room serving and helping everyone the entire night. There was never a moment we had to search for her. I was especially impressed that everyone received their dinner at the same time. It's the little things that make a big deal when going out to dinner with a large group. Thank you again. Your made a special night last forever. Cheers, Veronica and Scott!

My first experience here, ordered the chicken marsala, average tasting, the rice pilaf and vegetable medley delicious, I was not fussy on the chicken itself, we were in a private room, quiet and great for a meeting. .we had ice cream for dessert best part of the meal..

Decent pub grub type of food. Nothing fancy. I wish they could have some background music in the restaurant. You can hear every conversation at the tables near you. Not very private if you're trying to have a quick business lunch.

We went there to see a band on a Saturday. The place looks ok. but like most reviewer has commented. THE FOOD SUCKS. The only thing we like at all for the whole meal was the peppers that came with the bread. I ordered mussels with linguine in scampi sauce. The mussels were tiny and shriveled and the sauce bland. My fiance ordered a crab cake sandwich. Before he ordered, he specifically asked the waitress whether it is lump crab meat because he distastes the stringy crab meat with way too much mayonnaise, especially at $13. The sandwich came, he had a bite and it's like biting into a big blob of mayonnaise. He talked to the waitress and sent the crab cake sandwich back, ordered salmon instead, thinking it's hard to screw that up. The smallest piece of salmon (the size of one skinny chicken finger) I have ever seen for $19 with some minimal sauteed vegetable came. And it was bland as the rest. Our friends who had the meatballs said they were overcooked. He asked for extra sauce, which never came. His girlfriend had the Tilapia, which she said was bland as well. The place really could invest in some spices! We enjoyed the music and the drinks are reasonable but the stage setup was weird. Tables crowded in front of the stage and there is some standing room to the side. Not sure what that is all about. There is no way we will ever go back for food. But if there is a good band playing we may go for a drink and some good music.

This Italian restaurant cooks up an okay meal, but it's more fun as a hangout. They're open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, and have decent happy hour specials - weekdays 5 to 7 PM they bring out food, and there's $1 off liquor; a shot of vodka was about $4.25 if I remember right. Their interior is comfortably finished, with tiled and carpeted floors. On the way to the rear dining room, there's an open kitchen. Plenty of seating's about, and there's large bar for relaxing. A pool table sits in a corner, and multiple flat screens keep eyes busy. Darts and a jukebox round out this spot. (Need privacy? Private dining rooms are available.) Yes, they have food: I've had their penne with roasted peppers ($9.50) with chicken and marinara sauce. It's not bad, takes almost no time to prep (10 minutes) and comes out piping hot. Don't like meat? They have a vegetarian lasagna special ($8.95) and a fried flounder platter with fries and broccoli ($9.95). Sandwiches look less expensive, at $7-$8. Friendly service - thanks to Louisa and others for putting up with me!

So we came here during for pizza on our way back from King of Prussia going home. We were crammed into a very small room with 5 tables where there should only be 3. So we heard everyone's conversations and the elderly men flirting with an older waitress, trust me the awkwardness has never been more real. At out table there were fake flowers which at least for me is just classless not that I am expecting 5 star dining, but still. When we decided to order they informed us that they had no dough, so we all had to change our order. I understand not having an item but that is something you should inform the customer at the begging of the meal. when we were all ready to order our waitress like disappeared. We also had to pay for bread. The food took forever and a half to come out and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Appetizers- we shared cheese sticks and my father ordered the french onion soup. Personally the cheese sticks were gross but others seemed to like it. As for the french onion soup, my father said that the flavor was good but he found a bay leaf and it was covered with cheese. Main dish- I ordered the penne pasta with sausage and marinara. It was gross. I took two bites and couldnt force anymore down. My parents seemed to enjoy there philly cheese steaks and my sister sucked down her soap. Maybe my taste is too high and i already had a bad first impression walking in. Leaving peppers i was annoyed and hungry and not wanting to drive 4 hours back to virginia

Went there for a party. The place is quite large. Liked the private room we had and it was relatively quiet. Food was decent, although I had the prime rib so can't really comment on how Italian the other menu items are. The wait staff was very friendly. I would go back there again for the prime rib and beer selection alone.

Beth M.
The blandest food I have ever eaten. It's like hospital food. The only thing worth eating is the marinated peppers they serve before your meal (for free). After the yummy peppers, the meal is that much more disappointing. This place is literally around the corner from my house. I would love to have a decent restaurant within walking distance; unfortunately, I don't. In addition, the bar in back has a distinctly unfriendly vibe. People look at you like you're invading their space when you walk in.

Peppers is split between two sections: half Italian restaurant up front with table clothes and dessert trays and a tiny window allowing you to see into the kitchen, and half large, and spacious bar to hang out in in the back. The bar area has a pool table and dart board, and several tables to dine at, or simply to hang out with friends and get a little sloshed in the middle of the week. I have never dined in the traditional restaurant dining area. However, I have sat at the bar, and at bar tables more times than I could try to count. The food has always been good, every time. Nothing has ever came close to blowing me away, but nothing has ever been under/over cooked, tasted bad, looked off, etc. I stick with the (large) sandwiches, (very large) pasta dishes, and wings are pretty good. Prices are decent; you'll spend 7-10 for sandwiches, 11-17 for most pasta dishes, 16-20 for most entrees. Everything I've had can be easily portioned into two dishes though. Service is hardly ever really good though. There are always three bartenders there, even on a slow Monday nights when I'm most often there, for maybe 25ish seats at the bar. And service is, at best, not too bad, and just always seems on the apathetic side. As if, they'd like it if you were happy.. but wouldn't get upset if you weren't, know what I mean? And keep in mind I've been coming here for years, tipping 20% at the very least, with the same bar staff in place every time. So to recap what I've said so far.. Peppers is "good," "decent," "apathetic," and "not too bad." This is a place to go if you are a local in need of a nicer meal than Michaels deli located in the same shopping center, and don't want to pay more than $50 for two. But also to recap, I've been coming here for years, despite the less than stellar times.

Been here a few times for family gatherings, and a few times for a quick bite and drink, and on all occasions the food has been underwhelming to say the least. Why the area Italian families frequent this place is beyond my comprehension. Nothing I ever ate there was anything I would order again, including a caesar salad, how can you screw up a salad??? I am not going back if I have anything to do with the decision. Just awful.
(1)
Bob M.
Been here a couple of times, a decent but unspecatular place. Food is just okay, not awful but nothing to write home about. Simple Italian fare, nothing really stands out as spectacular or superb, so I won't recommend any one dish. Bar in the back can be interesting for people watching. Quite a cross section of KoP residents.

Great place to go for a a casual dinner or drinks at the bar. I was here recently for my grandparents 60th aniv dinner. We hosted a group of 35+ friends and family. We had the center room to ourselves. It was a great size for our group and seperate from the rest of the restaurant. The staff were amazing, they made sure drinks were always full, food came out the right way, and were very friendly. The price was not bad either. It cost about $35 pp and it included the room, cheese and fruit hor'derves, soup, salad, choice of (prime rib, chicken parm, fish), house wines on table and soda, and a desert. We also brought out own cake, which they sliced and served. A few people were allowed to go to the bar for drinks, which were added to the tab. The food was very good, and can't say enough how great the staff were. We were even there longer then scheduled. Nobody was kicking us out at the scheduled time.

Not the most glamorous place in the world but it has its charm. The place is huge and i'm not sure about the pricing because we came for a rehearsal dinner. There were about 40 people there and I really liked their private dining area. It is close to where you enter (like straight ahead) and all windows so you can see everything around you but you feel sectioned off because there is a door that closes. The fi's favorite part was this game in the back. It is 'the claw' game but instead of grabbing a toy or stuffed animal with the claw you can get a lobster. Our waiters and waitresses were extremely friendly and attentive. We got there a bit late because of traffic but our waiter was super fast with our order and drinks. Speaking of our order...kind of really lacked flavor. That is my only complaint. Just boring ol' pasta with slightly overcooked veggies. Anyway, fun place to hang out and totally kid friendly.

It is really ashame. Peppers use to be a great italian restaurant. There is no doubt that the chef's have changed. I used to recommend this place to so many people and they all raved about it. But about 5 years ago or so, the food quality took a dive. My advice is to bring back your old chef or bring back the way you use to do things. It is not the same place.

Went with group for NYE dinner and had great service and very reasonable pricing (I thought)... some meals were great and some were average... mine was the seafood special and although plenty of food, rather plain... needed some tarter or cocktail sauce and would have been pretty good... my date's veal special was terrific... Then desert! Only needed one! The chocolate cake was not only great, it was HUGE! We added some ice cream and split one piece between the 8 of us... Anyway a fun time was had by all.

When you walk into a place and they have a handwritten "Gentlemen: No Tank Tops No Bandannas Allowed" sign taped to the door, you really should just pivot on your heel and head elsewhere! But, nooo - I have to give every place a chance. Arg. Strike 2 was the fact that no one in the place was under 75.. Again, I trudged forth like a food soldier. More strikes to follow...Warning: this is a total bitchfest, lol. After we sat down and waited 10-12 minutes for our waitress to realize we existed, we ordered drinks and food (I ordered the salad topped w shrimp and scallops in a tequila lime dressing; my man ordered a grilled "balsamic" chicken sandwich the waitress recommended). I looked around and noticed everyone around me was eating heaping plates of spaghetti with meatballs... Wondered how the whole non-pasta thing was going to turn out. So.. his sandwich comes, and it smells like feet. Odd.. But I'm like well maybe it's the provolone? Then, it has no balsamic anything on it. Waitress said she didn't know what it typically was cooked in, but that she would bring a side of balsamic reduction (this turned out to be a sugary mess). Meanwhile, my salad was SO bizarre. Poached shrimp and scallops over romaine.. raw broccoli, cold roasted peppers, and carrot sticks (like the ones that come with your buffalo wings!). I was hungry so I'm like.. Whatever. THen I taste my dressing, and it literally tasted like key lime pie. It was kind of funny. So THEN I ask for just plain old red wine and vinager, which the waitress brings out just as I discover that... THEY HAVENT CLEANED ANY OF THE SHRIMP (tail off so you usually think they would clean them). I think they caught my shrimp right after Spring Break, boy were they narrrsty! I pointed out how gross this was, and they took it away with a sort of pissy attitude, asking if I wanted something else? I'm like.. well, I'm kinda gonna call it a day since my stomach has been nearly turned inside out.. But thanks! No excessive apologies.. Just a matter of fact attitude like as though I'm crazy. Go to Peppers the next time you have a hankering for poo-shrimp in key lime custard sauce!!

For an Italian Eatery, the food is not that good. I've been there a few times, sandwiches are pretty good, I got manicotti....I've had better frozen. We went this week for a happy hour and we got the Appetizer Sampler. What a joke. Calamari was greasy, chicken fingers were super small and very very well done, mozz sticks were practically raw. Sad part is it took forever and wasn't busy at all. I won't go there for food anymore, just for the bar.

what a shame. i moved to the area one year ago and was really hoping there might be at least ONE good restuarant that didnt require a trip to the mall. i had sat down for a beer once or twice, which was a decent enough place to hang out and have a beer i guess. then came the time to sit down and have a meal. i ordered the manocotti with a side of meatballs. i also ordered a pork sandwhich to take home. i would love to know HOW IN THE WORLD THEY WOULD THINK THEY COULD SERVE COLD MANICOTTI AND I WOULDNT NOTICE. beyond ridiclous. the pork sandwhich? dont even ask. almost chipped a tooth on one of the little bones floating around in the meat. peppers- not only did you disappoint, you almost cost me a tooth. never again

interesting little place. we came here on st. patty's day for my dad's birthday dinner. we thought it wouldn't be that busy since it's an italian place, not irish. there was quite a few people at the bar when we arrived, but the dining room was almost empty. but by the time we were leaving, there was a line of people waiting for tables. our waitress got our drinks started and took our appetizer order while we perused the menu. i started with the firey bloody mary, which did not live up to it's name. it wasn't spicy at all. it actually had a somewhat sweet taste which is not good in a bloody mary. so after that 1 drink i switched to beer. they also added a few irish specials in honor of the day, which i thought was cute since they are not an irish establishment. we had both of the calamari apps; one was fried, the other was not breaded, but served in a spicy red sauce.both versions were excellent, with the hot red sauce being the shining star. a good amount of heat, but not so much that you couldn't eat it. the calamari was cooked perfectly. we also tried the bruscetta, which was ok. nothing special. for my entree, i got the seafood pescatore, minus the clams. i opted for the marinara sauce, but you can order this dish with scampi sauce or regular pasta sauce as well. the seafood was excellent, but the sauce was so watery and almost non-existant. they also served me what seemed to be a whole box of pasta, of which i ate about 3 bites because i was full from all the seafood. the watery sauce would not stick to the pasta, and i had no desire to eat plain pasta, so i ended up just eating all the seafood out of it and wasting all the pasta they gave me. i did not want to take it home, since i have pasta at home. they should cut this entree in half! at least you get your moneys worth of food here! everyone else really enjoyed their food. service was excellent. our waitress was a great seller - she convinced us to get a lot of add-ons, like salads and the bruscetta. she was also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. our waitress showed us the dessert tray and everything looked really good, but we were so full from the apps and entrees that we couldn't even sample any of them without exploding. i definitely need to go back just to try some of the dessert, because they looked and sounded amazing. i don't know how the bar scene is here...seemed like an older crowd when we were there. good place to try out when you are really hungry!

ive eaten here a few times, both in house and takeout. quality of food isnt anything spectacular, but it is good. good enough to go back for sure. i went for drinks one night and the bartender was hilarious. he was very friendly and outgoing and helped me feel at ease and comfortable at this bar, which i had never been to late night before. there was another girl bartending that night who was cold and distant. made it seem like i was bothering her every time i needed something. i can understand this at a busy time, but my friend and i were 2 of maybe 10 people total in the whole restaurant. they had a band another night i stopped by, Cellar Brothers i think? they were awesome.

Call Gordon Ramsay for help. Quick. Because the only thing that would improve this place is throwing everything and everybody out and starting again from scratch. We were in a hurry to leave (no surprise there) so I brought my credit card and bill up to the front to pay rather than wait for our waiter (he was MIA most of the meal). As the manager processed the card, I watched our waiter prepare two desserts as follows: (1) Use ungloved fingers to "help" position cannoli on plates (2) use same fingers to put dollop of whipped cream on each plate (from spray can), accidentally getting some cream on his fingers (3) put can away, lick fingers (4) wipe fingers on apron (5) pick up plated desserts to take them to unsuspecting victims. Absolutely disgusting.

We went there for dinner and tried to eat there. The hostess came over and took our drink order (2 waters and 1 wine). We got the water but the wine never came. The waitress also NEVER came to the table even after 10 minutes. We decided to leave. We told the hostess on the way out. After we left, she opened the door and shouted I will get you another waitress. That is definitely not the way to handle the situation. We left and it will be a long time going back.

I have been here twice. Both times I had the same thing, but it was consistent and good. I ordered angle hair pasta with garlic and olive oil. It's not on the menu, but they made it for me. The last time we were there, the service was a little slow, but I would still go back. I don't like to be rushed when I go out to eat anyway! The ambience is nice. They have a really nice bar area. It's also very clean!

Food is terrible. Service is OK. I have never had to use so much table salt to make food just edible. They don't use Olive Oil in their pasta with garlic and oil. Come on! An italian restaurant should at least be able to pull off garlic and oil.

Tried the meatloaf and it was so tough I could not cut it with a knife. Clearly, it had been put in the microwave until it was as tough as shoe leather. Someone else got the ravioli, and it was as small portion, and not very good either. Service was adequate, but forgot a drink refill

This place has good Italian food, not to mention a good pork sandwich with hot peppers (which is what I order from there most often). I am seldom disappointed by their food or their service. And I have been there on nights when there were plenty of people under 75... way under 75. For someone in their 20s or early 30s looking for a place that has good nightlife, this may not be the first choice... but they have occasional live music there so it has its moments. Give it a shot!

Service was not very good; although seems like his first night, much room for improvement in service. Was not the best meal I have had there. Most of the food was luke warm to room temp. One of the orders was wrong. Scallops were not appetizing to look at (hard with orange color). Baked manicotti was very very chewy. Best was plain linguini with butter. I hope for better next time as this place has been a staple in KoP.

I really would desire to rate this restaurant well since it is one of the few, non-corporate restaurants in King of Prussia. However, the food is bland, service is EXTREMELY slow, and the attitude by management is nonchalant at best. Needless to say, I will not be heading back to eat here.

Should have listened to the other Yelpers out there about Peppers and avoided it for my pre-theatre dinner show to see Frank Sinatra, Jr. Not that the food was all that terrible (but it wasn't great, either), but the service was less than desirable. What absolutely killed me was that the senior citizen waitress thought my foursome stiffed her on a tip of a $155 meal. She came back saying we only gave her $160 and I had to show by counting it in front of her that we actually gave $180. Some gall to do that...why not ask another server to count it out before making accusations to my group? Insulting. The bread with peppers was very tasty. My prime rib special was over-salted but the calamari app was quite nice. My wife's salmon was just ok. The tiramisu dessert my guests had was lousy. Save your cash and go elsewhere. This is not fine dining and bad casual.

I just had my bridal shower at Pepper's and the food and service was outstanding! We used the room on the right as you walk in. The buffet style meals were Excellent and the wait staff kept them full and tables clean. The manager RoseAnne couldn't have been more helpful as we prepped for the day as well as making sure things ran smoothly the day of. If you have any special event Peppers is a great place to go.

The Penne, peppers, and chicken was horrible. The pasta fagiole is pure tomato sauce. The chicken was bland, and it was smothered in red sauce to mask the lack of taste. Disappointed with this restaurant. Don't waste your money! I don't think I've ever been disappointed by an Italian restaurant. This is the first time.

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

We went here twice and the food wasn't bad--but it would have been nice for the service to rank up there with the food. Our orders were screwed up both times! The first time I asked for one sandwich and got another. Rather than send it back, I just alerted the waitress and finished it. After we were done, the waitress said it was a good thing because the sandwich I ordered was more expensive anyway. The second time my husband asked for an Italian sub, mayo on the side, peppers on the side, no oil. We didn't get peppers and the sub was slathered with oil and when we brought it to the waitresses attention she denied culpability and said she put it in the system correctly. We had a gift card and at the end, they couldn't figure out that transaction either, so we were delayed checking out as well.

I want to love this place. I think I'm chasing a dream. I get really good meat sauce here. But it's so inconsistent. One dish has barely any to cover the pasta. One has almost just almost enough. I even order extra meat sauce to try and compensate for the variable in the consistency of execution. What is it gold? I will pay! Just give me what I want! Frustrated. It's a great product. Just can't relay what the customer wants to the chef I'm guessing.

The bar area is a decent hang out, but service is not great overall. The food is decent if you go thinking of bar food, however if you are looking for a good authentic Italian spot, this is not it. Prices would be ok if the food was on par, but again it's not.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Don't miss it! Came with a party of 20 after basketball tournament. Worked out great

I'd consider my family and I regulars of Peppers. You can't go wrong with some Classic Italian dishes and specials worth asking about. Owners and managers have increased seating areas to accommodate a large crowd in the past year. This place usually carries a good crowd and special for the eagles game...the bartenders keep it real and most of the locals love bitching about the phillies. This place is great if you want a cold beer and some good food. Just don't come on Wednesdays. JoJo's loud and obnoxious and majority of the participants cheat some way.

I went here on Saturday evening a few weeks ago with my girlfriend. We ordered VEAL VALDOSTANDO with greasy potatoes and string beans and SAUTÉED SCALLOPS. I got a side of ANGEL HAIR pasta with aioli sauce(which is has oil ,herbs, garlic (instead of tomato) I originally wanted a different pasta side( either tortellini, ravioli or gnocchi. She said she could do it but she was going to charge is over 6 bucks extra for it( where the side was free otherwise) I declined.( keep in mind if this was any other restaurant they would have charged me only a couple dollars extra) The entrees itself were good( especially my scallops) -however the ANGEL HAIR pasta was awful. it was all oil ,with not enough herbs or taste to it. This pretends to be an Italian place but it isn't. Its for people who don't have a clue what Italian food is. There are better choices in the area. My gf ordered water .I ordered a diet soda The soda is supposed to be free refills like everywhere else. It wasn't. they charged me for each refill( and I had 3). If it wasn't free like everywhere else they should have TOLD ME. The waitress asked if we wanted coffee or dessert. We declined, but when I was expecting her to come back with the check she instead came back with a gigantic dessert cart in order to temp us. This is a very very greedy thing to do. I don't really blame the waitress. I blame the restaurant for being so cheap and greedy. IM sure the owners put her up to it. When I was in any other restaurant in this area( or anywhere else)..IF the waiter/waitress asked me for dessert, and we say NO thank you, They let it go. Not this place!. We were sitting 2 tables away from a couple. and she did the exact same thing to them!. All they did was take something to go. The decor of the main dining areas is pretty- it reminds you of a cafe in Tuscany ( from what I was told its newly renovated), but when you go to the bar area, Not so good. It has the atmosphere of a 3rd rate sports bar. Its very dingy, and apparently the place attracts ALOT of very low class poorly dressed people with a lot of tattoos, a lot of piercings. Not exactly a family type place. Also the glasses they serve with meals, ARENT glass. They are cheap plastic ones you would find at a crappy pizzeria. You can get glasses at the dollar store guys! spend a few bucks! We were shocked because the prices aren't exactly cheap for a lot of their entrees and the decor looked like it was nice with cute wooden chairs. This made little sense to us. I have been to every single restaurant in KOP. This is the only one that isn't packed(I m putting that very politely ) on a Saturday evening during DINNER TIME( no wonder huh!), and this is the only one that charges you for refills. Coincidence? I think not. They have low foot traffic so they have to get money out of whoever walks in. ( paid refills and coercing you to have dessert )It's a real disgrace. I've been here, I think several times before but I never noticed that my refills cost $$( unless the owners just implemented that policy recently) Needless to say from what I've just discovered, I don't think we will be going back Not unless they start giving way free refills, make pasta better, and not being so greedy with the desserts or expensive side dish alternatives. Not to mention cheap plastic cups Not recommended

Thank you Peppers for a wonderful night. I picked Peppers for my engagement/engagement party. They accommodated 15 people in their front room for all of my guest. Very private and comfortable. Cheri was our waitress and she deserves 5 stars. She was constantly in the room serving and helping everyone the entire night. There was never a moment we had to search for her. I was especially impressed that everyone received their dinner at the same time. It's the little things that make a big deal when going out to dinner with a large group. Thank you again. Your made a special night last forever. Cheers, Veronica and Scott!

My first experience here, ordered the chicken marsala, average tasting, the rice pilaf and vegetable medley delicious, I was not fussy on the chicken itself, we were in a private room, quiet and great for a meeting. .we had ice cream for dessert best part of the meal..
(3)Tim G.
Decent pub grub type of food. Nothing fancy. I wish they could have some background music in the restaurant. You can hear every conversation at the tables near you. Not very private if you're trying to have a quick business lunch.

We went there to see a band on a Saturday. The place looks ok. but like most reviewer has commented. THE FOOD SUCKS. The only thing we like at all for the whole meal was the peppers that came with the bread. I ordered mussels with linguine in scampi sauce. The mussels were tiny and shriveled and the sauce bland. My fiance ordered a crab cake sandwich. Before he ordered, he specifically asked the waitress whether it is lump crab meat because he distastes the stringy crab meat with way too much mayonnaise, especially at $13. The sandwich came, he had a bite and it's like biting into a big blob of mayonnaise. He talked to the waitress and sent the crab cake sandwich back, ordered salmon instead, thinking it's hard to screw that up. The smallest piece of salmon (the size of one skinny chicken finger) I have ever seen for $19 with some minimal sauteed vegetable came. And it was bland as the rest. Our friends who had the meatballs said they were overcooked. He asked for extra sauce, which never came. His girlfriend had the Tilapia, which she said was bland as well. The place really could invest in some spices! We enjoyed the music and the drinks are reasonable but the stage setup was weird. Tables crowded in front of the stage and there is some standing room to the side. Not sure what that is all about. There is no way we will ever go back for food. But if there is a good band playing we may go for a drink and some good music.

This Italian restaurant cooks up an okay meal, but it's more fun as a hangout. They're open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, and have decent happy hour specials - weekdays 5 to 7 PM they bring out food, and there's $1 off liquor; a shot of vodka was about $4.25 if I remember right. Their interior is comfortably finished, with tiled and carpeted floors. On the way to the rear dining room, there's an open kitchen. Plenty of seating's about, and there's large bar for relaxing. A pool table sits in a corner, and multiple flat screens keep eyes busy. Darts and a jukebox round out this spot. (Need privacy? Private dining rooms are available.) Yes, they have food: I've had their penne with roasted peppers ($9.50) with chicken and marinara sauce. It's not bad, takes almost no time to prep (10 minutes) and comes out piping hot. Don't like meat? They have a vegetarian lasagna special ($8.95) and a fried flounder platter with fries and broccoli ($9.95). Sandwiches look less expensive, at $7-$8. Friendly service - thanks to Louisa and others for putting up with me!

So we came here during for pizza on our way back from King of Prussia going home. We were crammed into a very small room with 5 tables where there should only be 3. So we heard everyone's conversations and the elderly men flirting with an older waitress, trust me the awkwardness has never been more real. At out table there were fake flowers which at least for me is just classless not that I am expecting 5 star dining, but still. When we decided to order they informed us that they had no dough, so we all had to change our order. I understand not having an item but that is something you should inform the customer at the begging of the meal. when we were all ready to order our waitress like disappeared. We also had to pay for bread. The food took forever and a half to come out and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Appetizers- we shared cheese sticks and my father ordered the french onion soup. Personally the cheese sticks were gross but others seemed to like it. As for the french onion soup, my father said that the flavor was good but he found a bay leaf and it was covered with cheese. Main dish- I ordered the penne pasta with sausage and marinara. It was gross. I took two bites and couldnt force anymore down. My parents seemed to enjoy there philly cheese steaks and my sister sucked down her soap. Maybe my taste is too high and i already had a bad first impression walking in. Leaving peppers i was annoyed and hungry and not wanting to drive 4 hours back to virginia
(2)James Y.
Went there for a party. The place is quite large. Liked the private room we had and it was relatively quiet. Food was decent, although I had the prime rib so can't really comment on how Italian the other menu items are. The wait staff was very friendly. I would go back there again for the prime rib and beer selection alone.
(4)Beth M.
The blandest food I have ever eaten. It's like hospital food. The only thing worth eating is the marinated peppers they serve before your meal (for free). After the yummy peppers, the meal is that much more disappointing. This place is literally around the corner from my house. I would love to have a decent restaurant within walking distance; unfortunately, I don't. In addition, the bar in back has a distinctly unfriendly vibe. People look at you like you're invading their space when you walk in.

Peppers is split between two sections: half Italian restaurant up front with table clothes and dessert trays and a tiny window allowing you to see into the kitchen, and half large, and spacious bar to hang out in in the back. The bar area has a pool table and dart board, and several tables to dine at, or simply to hang out with friends and get a little sloshed in the middle of the week. I have never dined in the traditional restaurant dining area. However, I have sat at the bar, and at bar tables more times than I could try to count. The food has always been good, every time. Nothing has ever came close to blowing me away, but nothing has ever been under/over cooked, tasted bad, looked off, etc. I stick with the (large) sandwiches, (very large) pasta dishes, and wings are pretty good. Prices are decent; you'll spend 7-10 for sandwiches, 11-17 for most pasta dishes, 16-20 for most entrees. Everything I've had can be easily portioned into two dishes though. Service is hardly ever really good though. There are always three bartenders there, even on a slow Monday nights when I'm most often there, for maybe 25ish seats at the bar. And service is, at best, not too bad, and just always seems on the apathetic side. As if, they'd like it if you were happy.. but wouldn't get upset if you weren't, know what I mean? And keep in mind I've been coming here for years, tipping 20% at the very least, with the same bar staff in place every time. So to recap what I've said so far.. Peppers is "good," "decent," "apathetic," and "not too bad." This is a place to go if you are a local in need of a nicer meal than Michaels deli located in the same shopping center, and don't want to pay more than $50 for two. But also to recap, I've been coming here for years, despite the less than stellar times.
(3)Eric R.
Been here a few times for family gatherings, and a few times for a quick bite and drink, and on all occasions the food has been underwhelming to say the least. Why the area Italian families frequent this place is beyond my comprehension. Nothing I ever ate there was anything I would order again, including a caesar salad, how can you screw up a salad??? I am not going back if I have anything to do with the decision. Just awful.
(1)Bob M.
Been here a couple of times, a decent but unspecatular place. Food is just okay, not awful but nothing to write home about. Simple Italian fare, nothing really stands out as spectacular or superb, so I won't recommend any one dish. Bar in the back can be interesting for people watching. Quite a cross section of KoP residents.
(3)Stephen K.
Great place to go for a a casual dinner or drinks at the bar. I was here recently for my grandparents 60th aniv dinner. We hosted a group of 35+ friends and family. We had the center room to ourselves. It was a great size for our group and seperate from the rest of the restaurant. The staff were amazing, they made sure drinks were always full, food came out the right way, and were very friendly. The price was not bad either. It cost about $35 pp and it included the room, cheese and fruit hor'derves, soup, salad, choice of (prime rib, chicken parm, fish), house wines on table and soda, and a desert. We also brought out own cake, which they sliced and served. A few people were allowed to go to the bar for drinks, which were added to the tab. The food was very good, and can't say enough how great the staff were. We were even there longer then scheduled. Nobody was kicking us out at the scheduled time.

Not the most glamorous place in the world but it has its charm. The place is huge and i'm not sure about the pricing because we came for a rehearsal dinner. There were about 40 people there and I really liked their private dining area. It is close to where you enter (like straight ahead) and all windows so you can see everything around you but you feel sectioned off because there is a door that closes. The fi's favorite part was this game in the back. It is 'the claw' game but instead of grabbing a toy or stuffed animal with the claw you can get a lobster. Our waiters and waitresses were extremely friendly and attentive. We got there a bit late because of traffic but our waiter was super fast with our order and drinks. Speaking of our order...kind of really lacked flavor. That is my only complaint. Just boring ol' pasta with slightly overcooked veggies. Anyway, fun place to hang out and totally kid friendly.
(3)Joseph M.
It is really ashame. Peppers use to be a great italian restaurant. There is no doubt that the chef's have changed. I used to recommend this place to so many people and they all raved about it. But about 5 years ago or so, the food quality took a dive. My advice is to bring back your old chef or bring back the way you use to do things. It is not the same place.

Food sucks, but nice staff. Food really really sucks!

Nice atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Great food. Affordable. You will not be disappointed.
(4)Dan G.
Went with group for NYE dinner and had great service and very reasonable pricing (I thought)... some meals were great and some were average... mine was the seafood special and although plenty of food, rather plain... needed some tarter or cocktail sauce and would have been pretty good... my date's veal special was terrific... Then desert! Only needed one! The chocolate cake was not only great, it was HUGE! We added some ice cream and split one piece between the 8 of us... Anyway a fun time was had by all.
(4)Dana S.
When you walk into a place and they have a handwritten "Gentlemen: No Tank Tops No Bandannas Allowed" sign taped to the door, you really should just pivot on your heel and head elsewhere! But, nooo - I have to give every place a chance. Arg. Strike 2 was the fact that no one in the place was under 75.. Again, I trudged forth like a food soldier. More strikes to follow...Warning: this is a total bitchfest, lol. After we sat down and waited 10-12 minutes for our waitress to realize we existed, we ordered drinks and food (I ordered the salad topped w shrimp and scallops in a tequila lime dressing; my man ordered a grilled "balsamic" chicken sandwich the waitress recommended). I looked around and noticed everyone around me was eating heaping plates of spaghetti with meatballs... Wondered how the whole non-pasta thing was going to turn out. So.. his sandwich comes, and it smells like feet. Odd.. But I'm like well maybe it's the provolone? Then, it has no balsamic anything on it. Waitress said she didn't know what it typically was cooked in, but that she would bring a side of balsamic reduction (this turned out to be a sugary mess). Meanwhile, my salad was SO bizarre. Poached shrimp and scallops over romaine.. raw broccoli, cold roasted peppers, and carrot sticks (like the ones that come with your buffalo wings!). I was hungry so I'm like.. Whatever. THen I taste my dressing, and it literally tasted like key lime pie. It was kind of funny. So THEN I ask for just plain old red wine and vinager, which the waitress brings out just as I discover that... THEY HAVENT CLEANED ANY OF THE SHRIMP (tail off so you usually think they would clean them). I think they caught my shrimp right after Spring Break, boy were they narrrsty! I pointed out how gross this was, and they took it away with a sort of pissy attitude, asking if I wanted something else? I'm like.. well, I'm kinda gonna call it a day since my stomach has been nearly turned inside out.. But thanks! No excessive apologies.. Just a matter of fact attitude like as though I'm crazy. Go to Peppers the next time you have a hankering for poo-shrimp in key lime custard sauce!!
(1)Dave H.
For an Italian Eatery, the food is not that good. I've been there a few times, sandwiches are pretty good, I got manicotti....I've had better frozen. We went this week for a happy hour and we got the Appetizer Sampler. What a joke. Calamari was greasy, chicken fingers were super small and very very well done, mozz sticks were practically raw. Sad part is it took forever and wasn't busy at all. I won't go there for food anymore, just for the bar.
(2)Steve M.
what a shame. i moved to the area one year ago and was really hoping there might be at least ONE good restuarant that didnt require a trip to the mall. i had sat down for a beer once or twice, which was a decent enough place to hang out and have a beer i guess. then came the time to sit down and have a meal. i ordered the manocotti with a side of meatballs. i also ordered a pork sandwhich to take home. i would love to know HOW IN THE WORLD THEY WOULD THINK THEY COULD SERVE COLD MANICOTTI AND I WOULDNT NOTICE. beyond ridiclous. the pork sandwhich? dont even ask. almost chipped a tooth on one of the little bones floating around in the meat. peppers- not only did you disappoint, you almost cost me a tooth. never again
(1)Maura G.
interesting little place. we came here on st. patty's day for my dad's birthday dinner. we thought it wouldn't be that busy since it's an italian place, not irish. there was quite a few people at the bar when we arrived, but the dining room was almost empty. but by the time we were leaving, there was a line of people waiting for tables. our waitress got our drinks started and took our appetizer order while we perused the menu. i started with the firey bloody mary, which did not live up to it's name. it wasn't spicy at all. it actually had a somewhat sweet taste which is not good in a bloody mary. so after that 1 drink i switched to beer. they also added a few irish specials in honor of the day, which i thought was cute since they are not an irish establishment. we had both of the calamari apps; one was fried, the other was not breaded, but served in a spicy red sauce.both versions were excellent, with the hot red sauce being the shining star. a good amount of heat, but not so much that you couldn't eat it. the calamari was cooked perfectly. we also tried the bruscetta, which was ok. nothing special. for my entree, i got the seafood pescatore, minus the clams. i opted for the marinara sauce, but you can order this dish with scampi sauce or regular pasta sauce as well. the seafood was excellent, but the sauce was so watery and almost non-existant. they also served me what seemed to be a whole box of pasta, of which i ate about 3 bites because i was full from all the seafood. the watery sauce would not stick to the pasta, and i had no desire to eat plain pasta, so i ended up just eating all the seafood out of it and wasting all the pasta they gave me. i did not want to take it home, since i have pasta at home. they should cut this entree in half! at least you get your moneys worth of food here! everyone else really enjoyed their food. service was excellent. our waitress was a great seller - she convinced us to get a lot of add-ons, like salads and the bruscetta. she was also very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. our waitress showed us the dessert tray and everything looked really good, but we were so full from the apps and entrees that we couldn't even sample any of them without exploding. i definitely need to go back just to try some of the dessert, because they looked and sounded amazing. i don't know how the bar scene is here...seemed like an older crowd when we were there. good place to try out when you are really hungry!
(3)missy m.
ive eaten here a few times, both in house and takeout. quality of food isnt anything spectacular, but it is good. good enough to go back for sure. i went for drinks one night and the bartender was hilarious. he was very friendly and outgoing and helped me feel at ease and comfortable at this bar, which i had never been to late night before. there was another girl bartending that night who was cold and distant. made it seem like i was bothering her every time i needed something. i can understand this at a busy time, but my friend and i were 2 of maybe 10 people total in the whole restaurant. they had a band another night i stopped by, Cellar Brothers i think? they were awesome.
(3)Joe P.
Had a birthday party here food and service was good but set up in time for promised time to start was poor and manager was not very concerned. Next day I called owner instead of an apology for the confusion he immediately became defensive. Too bad all I wanted was an I'm sorry we are planning a birthday party for dec and feb and it won't be. At peppers
(3)Dan G.
Call Gordon Ramsay for help. Quick. Because the only thing that would improve this place is throwing everything and everybody out and starting again from scratch. We were in a hurry to leave (no surprise there) so I brought my credit card and bill up to the front to pay rather than wait for our waiter (he was MIA most of the meal). As the manager processed the card, I watched our waiter prepare two desserts as follows: (1) Use ungloved fingers to "help" position cannoli on plates (2) use same fingers to put dollop of whipped cream on each plate (from spray can), accidentally getting some cream on his fingers (3) put can away, lick fingers (4) wipe fingers on apron (5) pick up plated desserts to take them to unsuspecting victims. Absolutely disgusting.
(1)Fran R.
We went there for dinner and tried to eat there. The hostess came over and took our drink order (2 waters and 1 wine). We got the water but the wine never came. The waitress also NEVER came to the table even after 10 minutes. We decided to leave. We told the hostess on the way out. After we left, she opened the door and shouted I will get you another waitress. That is definitely not the way to handle the situation. We left and it will be a long time going back.
(2)Haboo Z.
I have been here twice. Both times I had the same thing, but it was consistent and good. I ordered angle hair pasta with garlic and olive oil. It's not on the menu, but they made it for me. The last time we were there, the service was a little slow, but I would still go back. I don't like to be rushed when I go out to eat anyway! The ambience is nice. They have a really nice bar area. It's also very clean!
(4)J J.
Food is terrible. Service is OK. I have never had to use so much table salt to make food just edible. They don't use Olive Oil in their pasta with garlic and oil. Come on! An italian restaurant should at least be able to pull off garlic and oil.
(1)Chris C.
Tried the meatloaf and it was so tough I could not cut it with a knife. Clearly, it had been put in the microwave until it was as tough as shoe leather. Someone else got the ravioli, and it was as small portion, and not very good either. Service was adequate, but forgot a drink refill
(1)Vinyasa G.
Awful. Eggplant parm was bland. Chicken Marsala was bland. Grilled veggies tasted weird. Side of meatballs was ok. Service was ok. I would not come back
(2)Raj M.
This place has good Italian food, not to mention a good pork sandwich with hot peppers (which is what I order from there most often). I am seldom disappointed by their food or their service. And I have been there on nights when there were plenty of people under 75... way under 75. For someone in their 20s or early 30s looking for a place that has good nightlife, this may not be the first choice... but they have occasional live music there so it has its moments. Give it a shot!
(4)Heavi K.
Service was not very good; although seems like his first night, much room for improvement in service. Was not the best meal I have had there. Most of the food was luke warm to room temp. One of the orders was wrong. Scallops were not appetizing to look at (hard with orange color). Baked manicotti was very very chewy. Best was plain linguini with butter. I hope for better next time as this place has been a staple in KoP.
(1)Brett O.
I really would desire to rate this restaurant well since it is one of the few, non-corporate restaurants in King of Prussia. However, the food is bland, service is EXTREMELY slow, and the attitude by management is nonchalant at best. Needless to say, I will not be heading back to eat here.
(1)Chy D.
The female manager with blond hair was not helpful she was extremely rude.. She dresses inappropriate tight clothes her goods are out for everyone to see... Family restaurant REALLY.... She needs to put them away siooooo ridiculous :(
(1)Linda H.
I love this place! I've only had dinner at the bar but the service is always great and so is the food, I love the tapenade pizza! The bar tenders are super nice, friendly and follow up on your drink needs! This restaurant seems a little old fashioned but It's a nice place to have a beer, eat some pizza and watch a little T.V!
(5)Michael G.
Should have listened to the other Yelpers out there about Peppers and avoided it for my pre-theatre dinner show to see Frank Sinatra, Jr. Not that the food was all that terrible (but it wasn't great, either), but the service was less than desirable. What absolutely killed me was that the senior citizen waitress thought my foursome stiffed her on a tip of a $155 meal. She came back saying we only gave her $160 and I had to show by counting it in front of her that we actually gave $180. Some gall to do that...why not ask another server to count it out before making accusations to my group? Insulting. The bread with peppers was very tasty. My prime rib special was over-salted but the calamari app was quite nice. My wife's salmon was just ok. The tiramisu dessert my guests had was lousy. Save your cash and go elsewhere. This is not fine dining and bad casual.
(2)Dianne M.
I just had my bridal shower at Pepper's and the food and service was outstanding! We used the room on the right as you walk in. The buffet style meals were Excellent and the wait staff kept them full and tables clean. The manager RoseAnne couldn't have been more helpful as we prepped for the day as well as making sure things ran smoothly the day of. If you have any special event Peppers is a great place to go.
(5)Maipu A.
The Penne, peppers, and chicken was horrible. The pasta fagiole is pure tomato sauce. The chicken was bland, and it was smothered in red sauce to mask the lack of taste. Disappointed with this restaurant. Don't waste your money! I don't think I've ever been disappointed by an Italian restaurant. This is the first time.
(1)Jarod S.
My wife and I ate here for a group lunch. As we waited for others to arrive, I walked around the dinning room and bar and was really impressed by the décor and cleanliness. The group lunch we attended had a fixed menu, my wife chose the chicken parmesan and I went with the salmon with dill sauce. When are meals arrived I instantly became excited because both plates looked amazing. My meal was excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was excellent. The potatoes that came as a side dish were a little soggy and tasted as if they were pre-made and sitting in a warmer. My wifes meal (which I had to steal a few bites ) was very good too. The marinara sauce was definitely the highlight of the dish. The chicken itself was cooked well but had very little taste. It wasn't for the marinara, the dish left you wanting for a lot more flavor. For the most part everything was really good and I hope to return for dinner.
(3)Kathryn E.
We have always enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, good service and good food at Peppers but, over the past several months, we have been very disappointed particularly with the service. Once our entrée needed to be returned in order to be cooked, another time our server forgot to bring several things we ordered and also neglected to bring bread until we were nearly done, and to top it off, the woman acting as hostess was rude. That's the time we nearly walked out.
