Pepper Joe's

Delicious. Good atmosphere. On the water. Knowledgeable staff. I ordered a French dip Philly style with a gluten free bun. Can't order chips due to a shared fryer. Received a baked potato instead. Sandwich had so much flavor!! Definitely would come back.

Great food and atmosphere. Second to none in the summer months when their patio is open.

Good food and was a great day for eating outdoors on patio. NiceView on the water. Service wasPretty good too

Went there on a quiet evening a few weeks ago to have dinner as the sun set by the water. Wanted to sit outside; there were plenty of tables.Informed the waiter, he told us that we had to wait. We asked if we could get drinks at the bar and wait at an empty table. He said no, and that their policy was nobody was allowed on the patio until they could be seated. Because people could get "squirrelly" about it.Manager confirmed in curt messaging. We waited 20 minutes. A reservation came in, and they seared us at the table that we had asked for originally 20 minutes before. Huh.We were in a week before for lunch and ignored once a large table of 12 came in.Food is ok. Typical list of overhopped Michigan IPAs and chocolate pumpkin stouts if you're into that.We are giving this place a wide berth until they sort out their employee issues. From what I've seen, most restaurants in St Clair are on a shoestring except LaCroix

Pepper Joe's is another underrated gem to not overlook when visiting the city of St. Clair.I went to this restaurant as the first customer by the time they opened, hoping that the first time eating here is hopefully not the last. And judging from the menu items that made my order hard to decide, it did not disappointAs a food and restaurant critic myself, I am quite surprised by how many great menu items there are. There are menu items inspired by the Tex-Mex cuisine and many other items from common cuisines around the world. My server was very attentive and friendly, but sometimes slow with my raspberry tea. Service might need to pick up the pace when it's quiet and not busy in the first hour of business.Other than ordering raspberry iced tea, I ordered a steak and bleu cheese salad with two side containers of ranch dressing. The price of the meal-sized salads are sort of on the pricy side; my salad was $17.99.The salad contained slices of steak cooked to order, bacon bits, bleu cheese tomatoes and tons of green goodness. It was a very filling and delicious salad. I think this salad is fantastic given that it was made to 100% perfection!The ambience of Christmas decorations (given it's a month away from the holidays) and views of Pine River made this restaurant and unforgettable experience!The verdict of this place - I will be coming back to this place. However, busy or not busy, pick up the pace of service. Other than that, the food is fantastic!

Very rude manager and staff. We came in with a large group and they complained about the large group. Stay away, Murphy's had no problem seating us. I would have done less than one but I can't.

I keep giving this restaurant chances to prove to me that their food is good for many years and yet today was their last chance!! Ordered a chicken wrap with hummus couldn't find the chicken maybe 10 teenie weenie pieces explained to are waitress that I wasn't pleased just to be told that they put a whole chicken breast in those wraps. NOT!!! Besides that it was all lettuce and just a dab of ranch, DISGUSTING!!!! She didn't even ask if I wanted something to replace my meal being that I was so dissatisfied!! Only thing good here are the DRINKS!! Won't be seeing me again!!! Disappointed in food and waitress but left her a decent tip!!

Last visit was good however this was lacking. The kids pizza felt and tasted like cardboard. The chicken tenders (coconut tenders to be specific) were great. The service made the visit pleasant and when it's warm sitting outside is an amazing view.

The food is good. During our last visit, we had the WORST server ever. Slow, inattentive, and had a general don't give attitude. It is a shame, as this place was one of my favorite places.

Chicken tenders are the best with sweet potato fries and Cesar salad!! Don't get the cajon tenders tho, they are very salty.
