There's nothing fancy about Pepper’s Cafe, and that's just the way this diner's regular customers like it. There's a row of stools at the counter, a line of cozy booths under the windows, and a staff of long-time servers who are ready to treat you like family.

The menu emphasizes familiar comfort foods, which makes this a popular choice for families. If you visit during the morning you might want to indulge in a short stack of pancakes topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream, or a couple of eggs, sunny-side up, served with bacon and hash browns. Later in the day, you might order a cheeseburger or a patty melt served on rye (both with crispy golden fries on the side), or you might go for a French dip or BLT sandwich. Keep in mind that this place is a popular spot for breakfast, especially on the weekend, so if you visit during peak brunch hours, be prepared for a wait.

Open daily from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.
