Reviews

I  come every Saturday. I love the new owners because they give great service and they are so kind. Very affordable and kids friendly. THEY MAKE THE BEST Milkshakes!! Especially the strawberry milkshake. I am also obsessed with a bacon, egg and cheese. It is so very good. Highly recommend peppercorn.Food: 5/5

When I walked in, I immediately felt welcome by the kind owners and their special staff. I sat down and ordered the split pea soup. Let me just say, best. soup. ever. The flavors were vibrant and overall, it was an amazing experience. The soup was so GOOD that ordered another one to bring home for later, and it wasn’t even expensive! Let me also just say, the whole place felt very family friendly.

I have been going to this place for 2 years now! I can’t get enough! Good service, good food and good pricing. The new owners are doing an amazing job. This place is super kid friendly. Overall, great place for a good meal with friends and family.Food: 5/5

This place is small, the largest booth would fit 4 normal size adults at best. If you have a party of more than 4, look elsewhere as you most likely won't be able to sit together or even next to each other.  We went here during peak brunch hours but were able to get a booth for two. It was obvious that the staff was stretched to the max, as there were many tables that didn't have any food yet, and apparently had been waiting for a while. We did notice that the gentleman who was working as the 'host' ended up helping in the kitchen on the grill, and was probably why were able to get our brunch in a reasonable amount of time.  The food was good as you would hope for at a diner. The staff seemed a bit short handed. The tables are small, and they didn't have all items on the tables at least the two tops that we sat at like butter, milk/creamer for coffee, just ketchup and salt / pepper. While we had to flag someone down for anything we needed we never got the butter for the pancakes we ordered, as it just seemed like the staff was super busy at peak brunch hour.  Wouldn't mind stopping back in again, but probably not at peak brunch hours

I really wanted to try this place because of the reviews and location, but i had quite a few issues that I tried to get past. Dirty silverware, so i asked for plastic, which they gave, but that had hair and dust on it. The food was not hot but came out fast. I had egg shells, which was just off-putting. The waitress yelled at me and kicked me out for complaining  . It was a bit embarrassing and uncalled for. I wasn't rude or disrespectful. I am minority because I complained...... Im appalled. This place is terrible!!  The best part about this experience is the bakery Bake, which is next door that has a great variety of treats and breakfast!

I stumbled upon this diner after an appointment I had nearby. The diner wasn’t busy. The food was bland and average. I spruced it up with a little salt and pepper. I really enjoyed that they served beef sausages. I don’t eat pork and enjoy a good beef sausage from time to time. However, many establishments don’t serve beef sausages. So that was the highlight of my dining experience at this diner. The portion size was not your typical huge diner sized portion. However the food was just enough. My waitress was young and pleasant. If I’m in the area and have the desire for beef sausage this is where I will come.

When I ordered from them I expected that it would be an easy in and out process, yet when I arrived they bumped up the time it would to take to prepare my order on the app. While that is reasonable because it was busy, when I went in they told me that they where out of meatballs and refunded me for the item, that is no big deal. But when they finally gave us our order they didn’t even have the sense to give us utensils or napkins. Thus we asked for them to give us them and they did but after they went and got the order of someone on the other side of the diner, and the whole time we where having this interaction the person who was “helping us” was giving us a plain nasty glare. Once we finally opened the containers, to my chagrin, the french toast was burnt beyond my threshold of willingness to eat.

It’s a Jersey diner, which js automatically cool. There’s a smallish counter, which seems just the right size for the place. There’s normal diner booths too. I’m old enough 58 that I almost expect there to be a jukebox at every booth. I used to love “flipping” through the pages of choices. Sigh. :/  I went for lunch and loved it. Besides the good menu, the specials are always interesting. I had a simple turkey wrap, but it was so flavorful! I returned a week later and had a sandwich with chicken. Holy cow was it delicious. I don’t know what spices they use other than peppercorn, I guess, but they use them expertly.  A funny story. I saw two bananas on the shelf behind the counter and decided to ask for one. Instead of just handing it over, she spent quite a while “preparing it” as I impatiently watched. She skinned it, cut it into slices, then put it in a sundæ glass, put a dish under it and served it with a spoon. My first thought was that this was a way to upcharge me $7 for a $1 banana. To my happy surprise, they only charged me $1.50! See picture of banana, sundæ glass presentation and bill attached  Service was slower than you would get at most Jersey diner counters, but not terrible. They weren’t “chatty” another Jersey diner expectation is an older waitress who likes to talk but they weren’t rude either. The wait was incredibly worth it for the flavorful food.  I really like the place and plan to return whenever I’m in Summit. Which is saying a lot, since Summit has a ton of nice places to eat.  Parking: The parking isn’t terrible. It’s Summit street parking, which can go either way. The metered spaces aren’t expensive. The two times I visited I found spaces right in front of the restaurant.

were in the area and looking for a quick breakfast and found this... we ordered the lox bene and the traditional bene... couple of pancakes on the side... the benes were okay... my wife loved the hollandaise sauce while i find it just fine or maybe a tad bit below fine... the coffee was also lacking some character... not sure if itbwas already stale or what but i didn't feel like i was drinking coffee... the service though was good and fast... maybe it was just a slow day... i don't know...

They've opened earlier in the morning, and make a really nice veggie omelette with lots of thinly sliced, perfectly fried potatoes. The eggs benedict was also impressive. I've found the staff attentive and hospitable and at my early hours I've never waited long.  The ambience is clean, quiet, relaxing. Giving 5 stars since my experience has only been gratifying.  With a couple unique mom-and-pop type shops nearby, I'm happy to see some old and new Summit standing strong.
