I love coming here for a Saturday or even midweek lunch. The deli smells are what will hit you first thing as you open up the door. I usually get the Reuben with a side of potato salad. This used to be a jiffy lube but I like it better now that it's Peppers. Very friendly and very tasty food.

Absolutely phenomenal! Pepper’s Deli & BBQ in Ellisville is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in the area. Their sandwiches are next-level—crafted with care, packed with flavor, and always served fresh. The bacon? Unreal. Smoky, crispy, and perfectly seasoned—it’s the kind of bacon that ruins all other bacon for you. But the real star of the show? The bison burger. Juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection, it’s a must-try for any burger lover. You can tell they take pride in their ingredients and preparation. The smoky aroma that greets you at the door is just a preview of the deliciousness to come. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming. Whether you're grabbing lunch or treating yourself to a hearty dinner, Pepper’s delivers every time. Do yourself a favor and stop by—you’ll be hooked after the first bite!

Best deli in West County! Service is always impressive too! They are busy but she crushes out the orders. Will continue trying new things here because everything I've tried so far has been excellent!

We thought the food was quite tasty. As is typical of a lot of sandwich places, the sandwich was pretty large, so we ended up buying one and sharing it. The service was friendly and quick. The tables were not especially clean -- my wife ended up pulling out a wipe to clean ours. The floor wasn't dirty, but looked like it needed to be swept. The bathroom wasn't disgusting, but it was dirty enough that I really didn't want to touch anything. We liked the food, but both wondered if the food prep area was cleaner than the rest of the restaurant. With better cleanliness this place could be a winner. We might try it again in a while. For the moment we both thought other places were better and definitely cleaner.

Literally the most mouthwatering pulled pork sandwich there is. You have to get it on an onion roll. Promise you, you will be back the next week for another one.

Very cute, but a little un finished in spaces, however the food, service, serving size were right on. Best brisket I have had in a long time, and my grand daughter's turkey gruere sandwich was huge. I went there years ago and enjpyed it, was not at all disappointed today. Will visit more regularly. The patio needed a little update, and fly repellent, and the bathroom while large enough, was not finished, so some things need a little work, but food - Yum! And it was a very cozy space, just needed a little finishing.
