I heard the team talk about Pepper Market on this week's show. I have to say that listening to the report really didn't give me any reason to change my opinion of the place or want to go back. We were there once having heard a lot of people recommend it. We found it to be lousy - lousy food, lousy service, lousy prices.
The one thing I clearly remember is the quesadilla, which Dustin spoke about on the show (I think it was Dustin). The way he described it was exactly how it was when I had it. A ton of low quality cheese, dripping with grease and rather disgusting. Sounds like it hasn't changed a bit which is unfortunate.
I just dug up my review and I mentioned how the food was poor, my vegetarian daughter had almost nothing to choose from except a salad and ended up with a kid's mac and cheese meal that was cold, we couldn't get a server at our table to replace a dropped fork or fill our water glasses, and worst of all, it was the most expensive meal we ate during our entire 2-week stay.
On the show, a couple of comments were made about how the servings were huge and could easily feed 2 or 3 people. Personally, I don't find that to be a selling point, especially on vacation. At least at home, we can get a take out box and bring home the leftovers. On vacation, the excess food just gets thrown out. It's a waste of food and money. We'd much rather have a one-person serving at a more reasonable price. We can always order something else if we're still hungry.
I'm glad the team had a good experience and it sounds like maybe the service has gotten better but we wouldn't go back. There are plenty of better counter service options on property, most of which are also more reasonably priced.
