A Boone tradition since 1975, Pepper’s Restaurant & Bar is the longest family-owned restaurant in Boone, North Carolina. Founded by Jack Pepper and now run by his son, Josh Pepper, we take pride in serving elevated pub fare, hearty sandwiches, and classic dinner entrées—all with a welcoming, local touch. From our famous French Onion Soup and hand-breaded Fried Mushrooms to the beloved Jean Lawson Special, every dish is made to order with quality ingredients.
