Peeper’s

I've been to Kelley's Island many times but never to this particular bar/restaurant. They had live music over the weekend so I tried it out. Upon entering, the inside bar was pretty empty. The bartender seemed annoyed to help and service was slow. We ordered food as they have a bbq smoker in the back on the patio. Ordered the Brisket Philly with fresh cut fries. The food took about 30 minutes and was served without utensils, napkins, or asking if we wanted ketchup or anything. We had to flag the bartender down and she brought over what we needed. The brisket was really good. The fries were very undercooked, which was disappointing as I love fresh cut fries. When the band started, the inside bar started to fill a bit and the outside patio bar was pretty full. The outside bartenders were much more attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the band and drinks outside. Some of the patio tables were more shaded than others - it's definitely hot back there when the sun comes out. Prior to leaving, we went back inside to order some sandwiches to go and again, they took about 30 minutes. The service with the inside bartender did not improve. I have mixed feelings about this place. I think it has potential; needs better attitudes from the staff. It's a great place to see a band.

Stopped in to try their unique strawberry shot - a fresh strawberry filled with a liqueur and topped with whipped cream - yummy!
