Disappointed in Pepper Market (dinner)

[KatMark]

How is the PM for a quick breakfast...bagels, muffins, danish, etc...???

We've always enjoyed the food at Pepper Market but the reviews the last six months have been getting worse and worse. We are going for a quick mini-trip next month and we're going to try to squeeze in one quick meal at PM to see what is going on.

As for the breakfast quickies--DH loves thier muffins, bagels, danishes, etc. You can also get these at the Cafe Rix which also is on the dining plan.

I just read on another thread that the ribeye steak & some other things were not offered for dinner. Does anyone know if there is a new menu?

Not sure. There is someone there now who goes three or so times a year and she promised to post a picture of the menu. I will send her a reminder and as soon as she does I'll come and post back here.

Thanks so much!

Our plan is to eat bfast at PM most days of our upcoming trip to WDW and CSR. (We tend to skip lunch on WDW trips in favour of QS bfast and TS dinner.) I had read how PM could be confusing to navigate, but assumed we would figure it out. The upside was that the menu on AllEars seemed to indicate that PM had a bigger bfast variety than most other resort QS locations we've tried. Now with the recent not-so-great reviews I'm thinking I better have a back up plan in case PM is as bad as people have been reporting ... maybe a bagel from Cafe Rix and then early lunch at a QS wherever we happen to be!

We always have great service and food at Peppermarket. Yum, one of our favorite places to go.

We ate at Pepper Market (haven't gotten to it in my dining report yet) just this past weekend. I thought it was okay...didn't love it, didn't hate it.

I didn't think it was dirty. We had a very friendly waitress.

My brother had a rice and salmon combo that he thought was wonderful (it looked really yummy!) That was made fresh.

I had a baked penne that they dished out of a half pan. I wish I would have seen that before I ordered. I dislike it when food is just sitting around. I realize this is how food like this is usually prepared, but I didn't know how long it had been sitting, etc. But when I got it, I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted a lot fresher than it looked in the pan.

My brother and I agreed that it was nice to be able to use a quick service credit (we were on the QSDP) for a meal that was pseduo-served. We got real plates, real glasses, real flat ware, etc. Nice for a change of pace. Not sure I would make a special trip just for it though as I thought the choices were a little lack-luster. Since we were on the DP, the 10% service charge was included...so I did leave a small tip on the table. Mainly because our waitress was so on top of things and actually better than some waitresses I've had at a full sit down place!!

I'm disappointed to hear all the negative reviews about PM..we've eaten there a number of times. We always had good food and I never thought it looked dirty

The gal I know that is there now said she will post Pepper Market and Maya Grill menus tonight. I will copy and paste them over here (and you can also find them on the CSR FAQ Thread which is where she will be posting the pics).

Any info yet? I didn't see it over on the CRS FAQ thread. But maybe I missed it?

Someone posted the new menus and it looks like they've made a lot of changes!

Yep, I saw that! We might have to come up with a new plan.

Got it...thanks. Boy, they sure have changed the menu. I loved their fettucine alfredo...very disappointing. We probably won't eat here since it is a mini trip, but I'm going to walk over and see what is going on (I wonder if they are giving serious consideration to changing to a buffet within the year?).

DianeV, Thanks so much for posting the pics of the menu. I was looking forward to eating here again. We really enjoyed it last year. We ended up here looking for a fresh salad, not the kind you find in the coolers at the resorts' CS. We loved it and the margaritas were to die for, but it looks like they are going cheap and we can do without. This solves the problem about our dinner at Epcot, we were going to take the bus to CSR, but now we will try Sunshine Seasons.
