THE THEATRICAL RELEASE...
Peppermints has always been a go to restaurant for us. The food is always great and the staff are always friendly.
This place is great for meeting up with friends and family. What is better than sharing a meal, that you don't have to cook, with people you care about. Spending time over a great meal has been the cornerstone of humanity for eons. Peppermints allows you to do just that, connect with others over food.
THE DIRECTOR'S CUT...
We usually go for breakfast and they do not fail to please, ever! I am picky when it comes to my eggs and hash browns, I prefer a wet scramble and crispy hash browns. So when I that way it is exactly what I get. I also have special requests when it comes to my omlets. I originally moved from Michigan in 2010 and every local restaurant served a Farmer's omelet, yes I am a red neck. This omelet, at least in my area, consisted of 3 eggs, bacon, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, hash browns and sausage gravey. The hash browns would be put inside the omelet along with all the other ingredients and then sausage gravey would be poured over top. So I will order their Western omelet, the closet they have, with the crispy hash browns inside and a side of sausage gravey. It takes me home and I love it. I wish they would put a Farmer's omelet on the menu.
I can't get enough of their pancakes either, they are so light and fluffy I am afraid they may float off the plate sometimes. They don't skimp on size either, they are nice and big as well.
As to the lunch menu, I usually order their Turkey Club on sour dough bread. It is created with sliced turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, mayo and of course crispy delicious bacon. This is all piled high on three slices of sour dough bread that have been toasted to the perfect golden brown. They serve it with an order of crispy on the outside but so pillowy soft on the inside piping hot french fries that they pile inside of the four toothpick wedges. This is the only restaurant in the Rochester area I will order a Turkey Club.
While waiting to be seated or paying your bill you will see a case that is filled with some of the most wonderful looking deserts. Cheesecakes, pies, brownies, parfaits, puddings,cookies and more, they even have gluten free. I always say I am going to leave room but I never can because the food is so good. One day I will remember to get a takeout box and then allow myself to enjoy some of their sinful sweets.
Overall, the staff is great and the food is fantastic. Usually we are greeted by whom I am assuming is the owner with a "welcome firends follow me," it feels like I am home everytime I hear that. My drink is never empty and my table is always cleared. The staff will check back often to make sure things are alright. The kitchen staff is so accommodating, I am picky I know. I also know how much of a pain it is since I have worked in the industry for several years, so I am that that much more appreciative.
So, if you are looking for a casual restaurant to spend time with friends and family over a great meal then you have found it at Peppermints. Great food at a reasonable price with good size portions, there is something for you here. So stop by, sit, relax and treat yourself to a great meal and good conversation.
