If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely unprofessional and completely AMATEUR people working here with terrible customer service. I get it’s the holidays, but when your hours of operation are posted clearly, even for the holidays, you shouldn’t turn away any customers, I pulled up IN THE PARKING LOT. Called ahead to make sure they were open and everything, and when I did I was told they were open, great. So I pull up a few minutes later to promptly and QUICKLY order my food and get out of these people’s hair, because like them, I have BUSINESS I have to conduct as well. I pull up and the lady very rudely and promptly meets me as I’m walking in and says they’re closed and locks the door on me. I’m sorry, that’s what I called ahead for. Neither the food or the service are exceptional, and frankly, the food isn’t good enough for the service to be that terrible. I get people don’t want to work on the holidays, neither do I. But nonetheless, you have a job to do and should be doing it. Subway is litterally right across the PARKING LOT. Not to mention other food places close by, but pro tip, if you want the same type of food and better service, Qdoba and Chipotle is a measly 1.5 miles away, definitely worth the trip to avoid the terrible customer service and mediocre prices. Happy holidays!
Side note: 11-2 means you’re open, 11-2… you don’t turn people away at 1 pm!

Kenan was one of the best workers I’ve seen in a while as someone who works in the food industry he made the experience incredible! I would love to have him work at my store!!!! The food tasted so good he evenly did the toppings, and he knew time management and was so nice! Pleasant experience overall. He was the only one working and you couldn’t tell because he had it down pat!

I had a rice bowl with steak, beans, peppers, corn, sour cream, and salsa. It was wonderful! The service was quick and friendly. They cook the steak after you order it, so it’s fresh and delicious. I’m pretty picky with meat, and often can’t eat this type of steak because it’s usually chewy, but that wasn’t the case here at all. Highly recommend!

Went in for dinner tonight with my boyfriend while we walked around downtown. Had to ask for the gentleman’s name that made our Philly’s because we both agreed it was one of the best we’ve had at PepperJax in a long time, so thank you Daniel for the awesome service while you were busy and the great food!

Since I don’t have a vehicle, my daughter, and sometimes myself, will place orders through Door Dash. The last four times we have placed an order has been disappointing to say the least.
We have both found hair in our food (two separate incidents). The last time she ordered, the portion size was terrible. It looked like her bowl was made for a toddler.
Tonight, we decided to try yet again. I ordered a chicken nachos, my daughter ordered a steak rice bowl. Because of the prevoius size of her bowl, I called once I placed the order and explained what happened before. I asked the gentleman I spoke with if he could make sure the portion sizes were decent. I also asked if I could get a little extra ranch on my nachos. He was very understanding of the situation and said he would make sure the portions were good, and the extra ranch was added. Unfortunately, there was so much ranch, it was inedible. It was very upsetting after waiting 30-45 minutes for the delivery. Luckily, Door Dash will be sending me a refund. I personally will not order again, but I’m sure my daughter will.

I’ve been to PepperJax in the Old Market about five times. Today I stopped in for a Steak Bowl. The cook seemed to get a bit confused when I asked for no onions and then proceeded to put way too many peppers in the mix. When I sat down and began eating my first bite was all peppers. it was way too hot and overpower the flavor of the dish. I do like a little bit of spicy Heat but this was extreme. I picked thru and removed all the peppers and it turned out to be quite tasty. An observation I noticed the employee demographics are quite different here than the west Omaha location. Here it seems to mainly men with long hair and beards. With the food preparers having so much hair I was a bit concerned about the cleanliness of my food. Anyway. Overall it was a good lunch meal. If all my photos and my review was helpful please smash that thumbs up button.

For a restaurant in a prime downtown location this is a DISASTER. I could tell that at one point this was a great looking place, unfortunately the same is far from true now. Floor has not been swept let alone cleaned in ages. Same could be said about the windows, chairs and tables. Don’t even look up at the order station as the neon letter decor is dripping hard grime rivaling that of a professional hunted house. Bathrooms are equally in disrepair and with direct access from drifters who just help themselves to the facilities. Staff was notified about the absence of soap and NO ONE ever ever ever took action. Never again will I set foot in this amazingly neglected prime downtown business…. UNBELIEVABLE.

Super great experience, had only been to the drive true PepperJax in Council Bluffs, IA before this. The workers were very nice. They weren’t skimpy with sauces and add -on’s . Didn’t have to ask for extras that we needed, like forks and napkins. Crazy that something that Simple could be impressive, but compared to where I’ve been before ♀️ Overall great experience.

The staff is awesome. Every time I order from here no matter if it’s DoorDash or in person they make sure my food is absolutely delicious. If you want some amazing food come check this place out. Most amazing staff ever hands down. Give them a raise for sure.
