I can't say enough good stuff about this place. Everything about it was outstanding. They run this with a passion that shows through everything they do there. I have had BBQ and ate at smoke houses all over the country and without a doubt Jesse Pepper's is right up there with the best of the best. That family is great, the hospitality they showed me really cemented the fact that this is a special place. Make the trip! A must try spot 100%

We placed a large take out order for our big group. Lilly communicated thoroughly with my wife to make sure we got what we wanted and that they could accommodate on a busy Saturday.So, we got to try a bit of the whole barbecue side of the menu. I’m a barbecue snob, but the quality goes well beyond great smoked meat. Every single item was truly a top notch representation of what it should be. Then you might catch a peek of the desert counter and it looks like a high end bakery. Because it is. The whole thing is pretty impressive by any restaurant standard. Great job and thanks for making 12 hungry skiers happy.

Best fried chicken I've ever had! The burnt ends were phenomenal too. And I LOVED the fried greens. I love the homey feel of the place and the local art/photography hung on the walls. We absolutely will be returning!

This was by far the best place we ate in WSS; however, the other places we ate at for dinner were delicious, too. Save this place for a night when you’re excited about meat/BBQ — that’s what we did and it didn’t disappoint. We got the bao buns to start, then my partner got the fried chicken and burnt ends platter. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! As were the buns! I got the potstickers as my entree, and that was also delicious. I tend to have too many leftovers so I often order an app as my main. The service was outstanding. We might come back here tomorrow because it was so delish, but our plan is eat at jawbone. Stay tuned for that review if we make it there.

I almost hate to leave this review.. not because they don’t deserve it but because when you start ranting and raving about how amazing a place is others start to frequent said place. You know that place that has amazing food but it’s how you feel when you’re there that really gets you? This is that place. My family and I have been coming to White Sulphur for years and years and we usually always frequent the same spots. Last night I wanted to try something different and this place will be forever a part of our White Sulphur adventures from here on out. Heather our server is such a gem. She’s really got that attitude and care of a small town local. She advised perfect food and pairings for us and informed us all the little details that make this place one of a kind. It’s family run and you can literally taste the love this family pours into their food. This location used to be a truck stop and you can admire the old structure and atmosphere while not feeling like you’re in an old truck stop at all. To say this is a wonderful addition to the town is simply not enough to describe just how much of a little gem this place is. Thank you for an amazing dining experience! People don’t ruin a good thing now . ;) but please do yourself a favor and try out this amazing newer restaurant to WS.

This is your fair warning, come on an empty stomach because holy moly do they give you so much food. Started off with the bao bun appetizer and the pork belly was so tender and melt in your mouth, the flavors just came together in absolute perfection. For entrees we moved onto the Texas tacos, the corn tortillas were house made and I appreciated that because they didn’t crumble like the ones you at the store. The burnt ends combined with the cheesy potatoes was mouthwatering. Refried beans were a melody of spices. The BBQ combo plate is enormous, the chicken thigh is literally about the size of a human face. The brisket is very tender and just pulls apart, you don’t even need a knife to cut it. The service was wonderful and enjoyed chatting with the server, made great recommendations on what to eat. They had an entire window of fresh baked desserts. Unfortunately was way too full to make room for that, so got a slice of carrot cake to go. Do not know how it tastes yet, but I am sure it will be absolutely delightful if it is anything as good as the meal. It is an eclectic menu that you are sure to find something that will you will love. Come hungry and leave so full you want to just roll out the door.

My partner insists we have to go back for lunch!Love this place- it checks all the boxes We ordered the brisket wellington, a salad with maple sage dressing, the pork pot stickers. This was my first experience tasting beef wellington, and I'm still trying to process. Smokey tender, fall off the fork beef, a thin layer of decadent truffle mushrooms, under a buttery flaky crust.. I went into a second food coma after writing this. It was top notch and I feel like any future beef wellington I may have outside of Jesse Peppers will only disappoint.The pot stickers were flavorful and panfried to perfection.The salad was really fresh and I love the variety of tender lettuce.We couldn't decide on dessert so we took home 3! Coconut macaroons, apple rum cake- so so yummy, and our favorite was the raspberry chocolate cake. So delicious!The only problem I have with this place is trying to decide what to order tomorrow
