My wife and I ordered the Chicken fried steak and the Cowboy burger. The portion sizes are generous. The sweet potato fries are amazing and the burger is very tasty. I have had chicken fried steak in many places and it is very good here. I would have given 5 stars but there service is a bit slow which really is not a big deal. They just need another server or 2.
Review Source:Haters gonna hate! The Peppermill turned out to be a really great find for us! It doesn't profess to be a fancy sit-down restaurant, it's a neighborhood diner, so of COURSE all the foodies are over here throwing out one and two-star ratings like they're Alton Brown or Gail Simmons! I had the special which was a monster-sized chicken-fried steak with creamy homestyle mashed taters and steamed veggies. It was awesome! As far as diner food goes, the CFS made other restaurants taste like an old retread tire. It was flavorful, well breaded, and fried to crispy golden deliciousness. My better half ordered a roasted garlic burger with fries. While the burger was not as garlicky as she had hoped (our ONLY complaint about our trip to this joint), she enjoyed her meal immensely, and we have both sworn to return to tackle some of their amazing looking breakfast fare. The whole thing was under $20 for the both of us, and we were both extremely pleased. Don't come to the Peppermill expecting a duck leg confit with risotto and seasonal greens. Come here for a burger and fries or some homestyle pot roast.
Review Source:Came here for the first time on a Friday night. Recently moved into the area and I didgn't know how this place was going to be. Came in at 9:30pm. Place was crowded but we got seatings. Drinks are stiff, food was good and people kept asking us if we needed service; overall service was excellent. They deserve a higher rating. I enjoyed this place very much and there are darts and pool. My bf and I got the 1/2 sized nacho and my friend got the turkey sandwich, everything was good; food came out fast. Cheap food! Give this place a shot!! Well worth it and I will be back!:)
Review Source:Ok I think we are about done with this place, steadily going downhill, at least in my opinion.
Today I got the Open Face Turkey Sandwich with Gravy on the side. The gravy is some concoction out of a can and pretty much tasteless.  The mashed potatoes are similarly from Sysco as was the super thinly sliced turkey  The green beans were cooked in a great deal of butter or oil. It was bland and tasteless, old people food.
Hubby got a burger and said it was similarly tasteless.
Decent place for breakfast. The sports bar lounge is a great place to hang out. The night we went there, there was only one one person running bar and waiting tables. Â As more and more regulars filed in the service was slowed downed considerably. But the lady bartender and cook did their best to handle the patrons. They were extremely friendly and did a fantastic job. Â Menu is priced reasonably and they accept <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurant.com&s=c5fe485af4df376130bee54f875814d79c4d7913e1258123b1206d2bdbf4873b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurant.com</a> vouchers even for drinks!!!!
Review Source:I have to say in the last year to year and half I have become very disappointed with the Peppermill.  They changed their menu sometime last year and I have a hard time finding anything I like. The breakfast is still good, not as good as before. Earlier this year  I ordered  takeout Queso and it tasted like creamy potato soup with spinach. It did taste good but nothing like what I had ordered. When you want queso, you want queso. I don't remember the other item I got at the time but it was also displeasing. the Flavor was bland and it was soggy(sorry i cant remember exactly what the menu item was).
So I didn't return again until tonight. We ordered Beef stroganoff and nachos. The beef stroganoff was made with a brown gravy instead of cream sauce. Again it wasn't gross it just didn't taste right. I have had stroganoff made with a brown sauce but this was more like plain old brown gravy almost tasted like the stuff you can make from a packet. Â Then we have the nachos. I have always thought that the second ingredient should be cheese, and lots of it. I guess not. It had very little cheese. all the other ingredients where well portioned but it had to have no more than 1/4th cup of cheese on a large plate of chips. the top layer was lightly melted but the little bit that feel through the cracks was cold and not melted even the slightest.
I highly recommend going back to the menu you had 2 years ago. I miss the mill burger.
But lastly. The service. I have to say the bartender may get a few extra tips by wearing her sweater unbuttoned enough for me to be able to tell she wasn't wearing a bra but this isn't some trashy night club.Then again I forgot to mention the last time we got our food to go because only sitting there for a few minutes deciding what to order the very small and very disorderly crowd was no one i cared to be near. Â But back to the bartender tonight. I had played the slot machine and cashed out with 85.10. I was only given 85. I am sorry but i dont care if its only 10 cents don't short me its very bad business. Â And when my fiance paid for his drink she put the quarter in her tip jar.
We used to come to peppermill about 3-4 times a week. I dont think we will be returning.
Back to Peppermill for breakfast this morning.
I had the Triple Berry Sweedish ( it was spelled that way on the white board) pancake special, with scrambled eggs and bacon. Good, although there was too much berry compote liquid and not quite enough whole berries, it was still tasty.
Princess had a grilled ham and cheese ( ok, did I mention we slept in?it was about noon) and french fries. Also half of one of my pancakes, and some of my bacon, and chocolate milk. She was happy.Her bread was a little dark, but she dissected the sandwich anyway (as usual) and ate the contents... she's odd like that. Think Wednesday Adams meets Dakota Fanning, that's Princess.
Princess' dad had a Western Omelet ( peppers, onions, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese) and hash browns, wheat toast. His omelet had the ingredients all through the egg, rather than inside the folded egg, you know what I mean? like a folded over frittata more than a traditional omelet. He said it wasn't bad, just kinda odd.
Coffee good, server nice, water refilled when asked... still a decent morning choice after a grumpy Saturday. (don't ask).
Breakfast makes us happy.
Or, er, happier.
Love the smoked mozzarella burger! YUM! Service is always good BUT I dont LOVE eating in the "all ages" side..makes me feel a little old. I think last time we went to that side (the kids were with us)we happened upon the early bird....
BUT the bar is a great neighborhood bar, clean and quick to serve! GREAT BLOODY's!
This place was absolutely terrible.
The waitress kinda just threw drinks down on the table as if she was angry. The food took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to get there (seriously. I'm generally a patient person, but it was like 30-40 minutes for eggs and stuff. COME ON!). It was the nastiest french toast I've ever eaten. Greasy, barely warm, flavorless, no cinnamon...It made my tongue cry. If I hadn't been so hungry, I wouldn't have eaten it.
Been going to peppermill for years, seat your self no need to wait on hostess. Coffee will be served within minutes, fast friendly service. This is not a four star restaurant , nor us it giving away free food (dude if your kid eats he should pay)
This is a great place to grab a paper and have a nice plate of bacon and eggs, expect the place to be packed on weekends especially in the early am.
Great mom and pop food for lunch and dinner.
Regular buffets on special days

Updating my review, i go there every weekend, service is great as always, coffee cup gets filled and refilled quickly.
I really like the place, free wifi, dont feel rushed, can read on ipad while chilling. Waitress always remembers my orders
Cons, gets busy on weekends, ( that may be a sign that people love the place)
So breakfast buffet for the Triumph club is held here.
For several previous years it was a decent breakfast. Â But they recently increased prices from $7.95 to $8.95.....now they want to charge a 4 year old child the same as an adult?
Doesn't seem to make sense. Â When a friend brought it up to the manager he got kind of snooty about it.
Let us talk about the bar instead of the restaurant.
The restaurant closes too early and the other half becomes a neighborhood bar at nights.
With copper countertops at the bar, they are equiped with almost everything. The walls are designed with sports memorabilias and flat screens. There are three pool tables and video poker machine by the door. The bartenders are friendly and nice. The food (bar food) isn't bad at all.
The crowd is a neighborhood crowd so don't expect anything swanky. Nobody cares what you wear, but ofcourse, something nice would always be appreciated. (not prom night nice but street clothes nice).
fun loving people beware. the cops & olcc (why? i don't know) often drops by.
we are in beaverton. what do you expect?! (well, i honestly can't tell why they are always within 500-1000 feet of a bar).
fights? i haven't witnessed any. this is a fairly new bar (or newly renovated). so, it tells something about the crowd as well. decent and well behaved.
We had breakfast here on a recent visit with the inlaws. Â The food was actually very good and came with big hearty sized portions. Â Our family ordered different items such french toast, swedish pancakes, omelets, sausage, ham, hashbrowns, ect....and there were no complaints, Â just happy stomachs. Â The "ambiance" is not that great (the decor was stuck in the pastel colors of the 80's)....but who really cares about "ambiance" at 7-8am in the morning?
Review Source:The service at The Peppermill Restaurant was weak and unprofessional. Â At a breakfast establishment like this, I at least expect to be able to differentiate the staff from the guests. Â The staff was pretty much wearing street clothes, dressed down compared to the average guest. Â
As for the service: We were asked what we wanted to drink, then she took our order, brought the food and the check at the same time, and never came back. Â I even placed my empty cup at the edge of the table to see if she would notice, but to no avail.
The food was pretty good, but not much different than a Sharri's or Denny's. Â They need a much bigger and more unique menu to call themselves a breakfast joint.
I will not be returning to this establishment.
