My new favourite uptown pub! The server went out of their way to be extra helpful, the food was great, the ambience was wonderful, and they have many good craft beers on tap.

Best pad Thai in the city! Definitely my favourite place to visit on the boardwalk. Their beer selection is always on point, and the service/atmosphere is the best. One of my favourite memories is having a patio beer under the heaters in February on a sunny winter day. Love this place! ☺️

The curry nachos are a must try! Such a great place with amazing service everytime.

Loved the place over all, but this is the second time we've gone where the food was only okay (different dishes each time). The price point is too high for it to only be just okay. The staff is great, extremely friendly and very helpful. We spent 120ish dollars in total.

I was surprised at how amazing the curry was. It was by far the most amazing dish I’ve had in quite some time. The presentation was wonderful the temperature of the dish was absolutely fantastic and the flavours were all bang on authentic. Definitely recommend this place. And I will most certainly be back

A unique fusion of Thai and bar food. The restaurant has a cool interior vibe with bonus patio seating outdoors at the harbour. We really enjoyed the variety in appetizers and the unique flavour combinations. Impressed to find out that all food is made in house and made to order— this is especially great because they can easily customize food to meet dietary restrictions. All staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgable and service was fast. Happily would return next time we visit Saint John!

Dropped by for late lunch with the team. The food is good with large portion. The price is a but on the high side. The service was great. There is construction going on, which may affect the patios set-up for the summer.

Fab tap list but at a price. You want the best tap list in SJ!? Stuff you can t get elsewhere? This is it, but it s at a premium. No fault here. Wood Brothers and Third Moon on tap as an example. Really good vibe.

The food was great, the waitress was lovely, and all around a great time. I wish we could have taken our leftovers. We were on a cruise ship, so we had nowhere for them, unfortunately. It was delicious, I had the cashew chicken and it was so good, I wanted to drink it. I felt so bad since it looked like I barely touched it, I have a small stomach and often cant fit a normal (american) portion of anything in, so it usually looks like I didnt enjoy it. But I very much did and I want them to know that lol. Highly recommend.

I had to remove a star because the food has been less than stellar lately. Weve been eating at Peppers for over seven years now, and over the last year, weve noticed that the food just isnt what it used to be. Ive also run into the kitchen messing up and serving egg and fish sauce in supposedly vegan meals. The wait staff are absolute rock stars, and because of this, we will keep coming back, but the food needs some TLC. Come on, guys, we want to be in-love with you again!

The staff cannot manage the customers. The bartender forgot that I paid for the drinks and said I d had to leave when I asked for the order. The staff needs to change or be more respectful. Kudos to the owner for masking the whole thing and making it customer s fault. #poorservice #customerrights

Favorite place to go during the summer .. great food, great service always full of laughter when I go in.

December 23, 2020

My husband was harassed by staff manager on duty for wearing sandals told to putt his feet back in and made to feel bad for bringing our very well behaved dog. Was told it was too hot for her even though it was 20 degrees and windy and we were in the shade. We came from Fredericton where it was 36 degrees. Not good costumer service and slow. Would not recommend to any of our Fredericton and SJ friends. Staff need to putt costumers first. I am a manager in costumer service and that is what we are supposed to do. This was not the case with our awful experience.

Slow service, even on a day where they werenttoo busy. We sat in the greenhouse under the hot sun and were dying before they brought us the pitcher of water we had requested at the start. We had a nice surprise: a car from the neighborhood likes to go sleep in the plants and he was in the on next to us!! Cute kitty!!! We got the special fries (forgot the name) and the spring rolls. Everything was really good, but I highly recommend those fries. Yummy! Id go again! The food was prepared very quickly.

Great experience. Your pets can accompany you on the patio. Staff is very helpful and friendly. My kids loved their wraps and sandwiches. Bangkok spice curry is pretty good. Noodles were good, but too bad that I couldnt finish them as I couldnt keep my hands off the fries, and I was full with fried Brussels Sprouts, which even my kids loved. Pets or no pets, this is a must visit when visiting Saint John.

The food is always the main attraction but the staff are a close second. Never had a bad meal or experience. Our awesome server, Mike, was funny, courteous, and made both my 10 year old cousin and my 72 year old Mother laugh at various times throughout the evening. There was something on the menu for my meat and potatoes father and uncle, my fussy little cousin, my Keto diet sister, and my vegetarian cousin. It was a great night out and we all left full and happy.

Occasionally too busy for the staff on hand to completely handle, which is testament to how good this place actually is. Food is excellent across the board, and price is par for the course.

This is a really busy place all week long. Fridays and Saturday nights are usually the most busy here. This also is located in the heart of the city and right next to two major hotels and also where all the cruise ships with tourist destination is for. That being said this attractive restaurant is very popular among not only the tourism industry but as well as many locals. Peppers Pub is a very classy place with outdoor seating and they offer impeccable service. I highly recommend Peppers Pub for anyone who wants to get out and eat or drink and as I said the service is extremely excellent and the staff are very friendly and right there to accommodate you with the best service and your best interest in mind. Gotta love Peppers Pub! Theyre the best! Go Peppers!!!!!

Food was undercooked. We stayed for a while and it was pleasant enough. But some guy caused a scene. The bar tender wanted him to pay an extra 7$ for the privilege of drinking a 5$ beer. We will likely avoid returning because of this unreasonable disruption and the undercooked food.
