CC Peppers

This place has been around for over 20 years and it looks it. It's not the cleanest or best kept establishment. The staff are usually angry and rude. There's a woman who takes the orders, she's always working, and she'll mock or yell at you for not ordering per her standards. I order food here like I'm talking to a drill sargeant. 1 cheesesteak, with wiz, no mayo with fries. The less words the better.The fries are shoestring bag frozen type and hardly ever fully cooked. If they are cooked correctly they are good. I do like the frontier fries which have bbq sauce, whiz, and bacon. The cheesesteaks are a step up from steakum's but that's mainly due to the chewy in-house baked roll.Why do I visit -- because people I work with talk me into it about once every 6 months. Worst of all it's fairly expensive. $15 for a 9" sub, drink and fries. Honestly, a fast food place would be a better quality and value.

Back in the day when Herlocher owner the multiple CC Peppers locations in town, it was *THE* place to find the best cheesesteaks and subs. Almost everyone in town loved CC Peppers.Fast forward to today and you have a sloppy, rude owner who hired burnt-out, equally sloppy and rude staff. Cold cuts are typically at the end of their life, the lettuce is often littered with wilted/brown bits, and the grill used to make your cheesesteak isn't cleaned very often. Also, I've never seen the staff wash their hands after handling dirty stuff, so I'm surprised this place hasn't been slapped with a health code violation.One annoyance is that back in 2022 they had their own masking policy when everyone else in town stopped masking requirements due to township recommendations. I had no problem wearing a mask back then if a shop owner requested it. But if you forgot to bring your own, they wouldn't even give you a disposable mask. They'd simply refuse service.Another annoyance is that this place used to only take cash. They were one of the few hold outs to switch to credit/debit cards not too long ago. And even with cards they're weird about it. They have a card minimum and I swear they bought their card machine used as a relic of the past since it takes forever to run it and print you a receipt.A final annoyance for me is the way they have you line up and process your order. It's not friendly, as it's more akin to a Seinfeld episode than anything inviting. You can't see the toppings, you have a giant menu on the wall that you can't view ahead of time until it's your turn, and the staff expect you to order everything in their own way. Don't even think about asking them a question unless you want to get chewed out for it.But besides the annoyances, what drove me away permanently was the increasingly worsening sanity conditions combined with the extremely rude staff. When the staff look at you as an inconvenience instead of a valued customer, it's time to stop giving them any money.

The food is amazing, was made quick, and the place is spaced out well for COVID. I wish they would have told us how big the large fry was LOL we didn't need two of them.

Went in to get a cheese steak and noticed several signs about masking. That's fine, I don't mind wearing a mask while I put my order in. I'm not one of those types trying to make a statement and I am more than happy to respect their rules while I am on their property.The problem is that the only places requiring masking right now are doctors offices and they provide masks at entry. Since the county DOH is showing two cases of COVID/week and the local mandates have been lifted it makes sense that most people are NOT masking. So, naturally, I don't carry one with me anymore. I figured I would politely be offered one at some point and I would then put it on-- no problem.Well, I guess they don't provide them and politely asking for one gets you a pile of attitude from surly manager right before he throws you out. So my review is based on how they handle/enforce the policy and not the policy itself. As I said, I'll be happy to respect their rules while on their property.It really felt like the dude just wanted to force people to do something and didn't really care about COVID itself. Point proven by the fact that more than a few employees had noses poking out over heavily soiled masks. The table of mask-less people eating seemed ironic too. The whole situation is also kind of absurd when you consider how dirty the place is overall. As if draconian mask policies somehow square the circle on the lack of hygiene in literally every other realm of possibility.I figured, like most places, they would try to be friendly about the policy and work with people to observe the rules. Instead, they seem to relish in being hostile to people. The in-our-face signs everywhere, the shouting, the sticky floors, the absurdity, etc. made the entire experience equal parts surreal and awful.I rate 0 out of 5. Would not wear a mask in a dumpster-posing-as-restaurant for the privilege of acquiring a mediocre cheese steak.

If you want a good cheesesteak and fries this is your place. Not the place to diet so if it's a free day and you want something worth the calories - CC Peppers fits the bill. Love the California.

We stopped to pick up some lunch here on the Sunday we moved our son into his apartment the day before classes started. Atmosphere would get this place 2 stars. It's not much to look at. Pretty simple. No frills. No decorations. Very plain. Nothing fancy. But it's clean. Due to COVID, they had many of the tables roped off and only some of the tables open for seating inside. We ordered our food to go. The staff were friendly and prompt. They have 9" and 14" sandwiches. I had the 9" philly and it was DELICIOUS. We shared some of the Mexican fries, and they were pretty good. Prices were reasonable. I'd give the food 4 stars and the quality of service 4 stars. I'm always a little worried about eating at some places like this and wondering if I would regret it later, but I'm happy to say I didn't. The food was delicious AND it didn't give me any stomach issues later in the day. So I enjoyed the food we had here and I would totally go back and get lunch here again in the future.

Recently was in my hometown for a couple days and got takeout from the local sub place. Located on N. Atherton in a small plaza near Walmart with no outdoor seating, and a smallish indoor layout. My buddy fetched our orders and it took forever. He said the lady who took our orders was borderline rude.I ordered the chicken cheese steak california style. Bogey on my part. Marinara made the roll soggy. Oh well. Live and learn.

Practically illegal masking procedures, definitely actionable...signs to mask up demanded..everywhere. Dirty kitchen. Just look around! Rude employees. Unreliable, sporadic hours, they open and close whenever suits. With the price of gas, don't head there without calling. Average subs.

The prices were much higher at the store than they were on Yelp. It's either false advertising, or out of date. The fries were soggy, and the sandwich was more grease than bread.

I've been a fan of CC Peppers for a long time, and as always, the food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, and the portions were generous. However, I was very disappointed by the service experience. The lady at the front, with the facial piercings and low-rise pants showing her ass crack, was incredibly unprofessional. She made a point of loudly complaining about the open sign being off and questioning why people were still coming in, all while standing right in front of patrons. It was uncomfortable and inappropriate to hear her vent like that, especially in front of customers. The other staff whom are younger were encouraging her to look at the bigger picture and fake it to make it until closing time it's unfortunate that a place with such great food has a worker that don't seem to understand how to maintain a professional and welcoming environment. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because the service definitely detracted from an otherwise good experience.
