Peppercorn's Grille & Tavern

Calling all beer and food lovers, Peppercorn's is a true oasis as they opened in Worcester in 1995 and after a huge renovation in 2009, opened an attached brewery incubator that launched Wormtown, Flying Dreams and current resident, Double DownFor dinner, I enjoyed the Steak Marcos that was easily the most tender, delicious steak I have ever had! A dry rubbed bistro filet with a bourbon glaze served over a bed of mushroom risotto.For dessert, I so enjoyed the homemade cheesecake made with Screwball Peanut Butter Whiskey with an Oreo Crust that was heavenly on it's own but the cherry on top was the beer pairing - Dublin Down, a sweet chocolate stout brewed in collaboration with famed Irish Brewmaster Fergal Murray (known for his involvement with Guinness for 20+ years).While you're there, strike up a conversation with of their many regulars to see how this place brings a close community feel to the second largest city in New England over food, drinks and their stellar hospitality!

Peppercorns is a restaurant attached to a brewery, very close to Clarke University. We went for very late lunch and sat in the bar area because there was a very large loud party in the dining room. I ordered the chicken, avocado salad and it was very good. My husband ordered one of the specials. It took a while for our food to arrive, and at first my husband's order was entirely wrong. His actual dish arrived soon after.In a nutshell, food was very good, but service could have been better.

They are consistently really good! We have been ordering take out from here at least once a month for a few months now.Their chicken and pasta dishes are always made perfect and their steak tips are perfectly tender and flavorful. My kids love their cheeseburgers and the kids mac n cheese without the breadcrumbs. We have also tried their spicy chicken sandwich which was way better than one you would get at any fast food place!Their desserts are also really good. Their cinnamon ice cream with their chocolate decadence or cheesecake roulade are the perfect ending to any of their meals - and don't skip it or you will regret it!

10/11/2023 I apologize in advance for the poor photos.Nice location with a cool but casual vibe. Plenty of choices on the menu but not too many.Appetizers we had the Risotto Balls, tasty I would say good just not to the great level. They had a calamari plate served on a bed of pickled jalapeños, black olives and tomatoes, every part of it was excellent!Entree #1 Nashville Chicken Sandwich, very tasty but definitely not "Nashville" style, not heat or dip in hot sauce.Entree #2 Tortellini Matthew, tasted like home made tortellini, excellent sauce and properly cooked chickenGiving a 5 star, really a 4.5 but I don't want to hurt a place when they do it right.Server was excellent too!!!

Peppercorn's has been our favorite restaurant for over 20 years. Have had family parties here and everything. Excellent service and food. Dinner last night did not disappoint. My husband had the Chef's Special, which was ceab cakes on grilled romaine. My in-laws both had the pistachio crusted haddock and I had the pretzel crusted chicken. Our server was excellent as well. There's only one issue we had. They've always served complimentary bread with olive oil. When the server asked if we wanted bread we said yes. It was the same bread they always served but with garlic butter as well as the oil. We were shocked when we got the bill and they charged us $6 for the bread. The server never mentioned there was a charge. Had we known, we wouldn't not have paid $6 for such a small side of bread that used to be complimentary.

Just attended a small function at Peppercorns.Wow.We had three buffet entrees and the same number of sides. While the potatoes were ok, the chicken fontina, steak tips, and Alfredo were top notch.Cocktail service was attentive and fast with just enough personality. The maitre'd was invisible but he ran a good room. The place is well kept. No off odors or dusty shelves. Nice decor, but not overdone.Will definitely be coming back for a date or family night.

what can one say, their food is prepared well, most of the time the staff is wonderful, just love their selections. Salmon coated with pecans, YUM! the atmosphere is ok, but the food makes up for any negative stuff. Enjoy a great meal, never rushed.

Love great artists and art work ‼ Definitely recommend the tattoo project in Worcester mass

This food was pretty good. However my girlfriend's was even better. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice and quiet

Great American and Italian food as prepared by a team of Brazilian chefs. As such, the coxinha is a must try appetizer; it sells out every day.Service is always good and the beers from Double Down (same building) add the extra local flavor.I recommend the bar area, but the backroom booths are nice as well.
