I am revamping my review as I just recently visited and once again, I am super impressed, and full and happy. If you are someone who needs a place for a date night, place to watch the sports games, family night or just time alone to play keno and have great food and drinks, get here. I’m adding my new photos. Tuesdays ... they currently have (I don’t know when this is ending), $10 smash burgers with fries! Whatttt? We upgraded to sweets of course but the burger was huge! And as always, delicious. And the seafood saute was delicious. I can’t wait to go back! Read More
I’ve been here quite a few times and they have never disappointed me! I’ve had the tortellini Matthew multiple times and it will definitely remain a favorite dish! The restaurant is pretty big so there is plenty of places to sit. The staff have always been friendly and attentive. I will definitely be back and I ... heavily recommend giving this place a try!

We had some absolutely fantastic French onion. Soup and lobster bisque... i had a chicken sandwich coated in pretzels.My wife had the smash burger.We both left, absolutely stuffed and glad that we stopped in.
We really enjoyed our meals at Peppercorn’s Grill & Tavern. The steak medallions/mushroom risotto were a hit! The smash burger and bolognese were also great! We didn’t really enjoy the chicken croquet appetizer, although we thought we would have.
Went here Thursday, May-1-2025, with my Aunt and Mom and Dad, and we had lunch here . My 1st time eating here , our waitress Olivia was super friendly , very kind, and so sweet! Olivia had a smile on her face and was extremely helpful! We all enjoyed our food , the only disadvantage was that in our selection me and my ... family and I were literally the only people on that side of the restaurant. It wasn't super busy, and it was a long wait for the food. We ordered the Lunch Fish & Chips and Grilled Chicken Sandwich and The Lemoncello Cheesecake for dessert. The cheesecake was on the smaller side for the cost. But quite tasty. Wish it was a bit bigger. The men's bathroom was very clean. The issue was they didn't have any soap. Great food and excellent experience and good service! I would highly recommend peppercorns .there is food quite good ! I had peppercorns once at a function I'd attended years ago it was delicious than and still is. Thank you, Olivia, for making our experience an excellent one! Read More

Entrees were absolutely delicious and very nice portions for the price and the quality was extravagant!! Ordered the side of risotto mmmm so creamy and flavorful!Then the dessert ... was absolutely to die for Turtle cheesecake is a must!!!!!!!! Read More
Every time I visit Peppercorns I am impressed with the food and service. The restaurant is large and welcoming, warm with nice lighting. The decor has a lot of Worcester paintings and photos of local spots, as well as really captivating old photos of long ago Worcester. There is a large main dining room, a bar that is ... fun and friendly, but not too loud, and function rooms in areas of varying sizes. The staff is friendly and helpful and responsive. There always seems to be a host desk and unlike many hosts at restaurants, the staff here is friendly. The waitstaff is well trained and fast. Our server today noticed we were avoiding meat and helpfully mentioned there was bacon in the brussel sprouts. The food is delicious. I be never had anything bad and the servings are good sized. They offer discounted lunch portions and specials. There is a large cocktail menu and wine selection. Some seasons they have sales and promotions. The menu is large and varied, with kid fair, fish and chips and pizza, as well as chicken piccata, good fish and beef. The chefs specials are unique and tasty. They really know how to pair interesting flavors. Read More
Went out with a group here on a Friday evening last minute. They were able to seat 5 quickly without a reservation. Friendly staff, clean dining area and restrooms, quick service, good cocktails. I had a smash burger, it was excellent. For others in my party they had gluten free menu options. Definitely gets busy, ... parking can be tough during winter. Read More
