Offering breakfast, burgers and more.
PepperJacks continues to offer drive-up service, but now has an attractive covered patio as well as seating inside. The restaurant has a number of hamburger options, but also offers much more, with tacos, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, chicken salads and many side dishes. For breakfast, burritos, crepes and quiche round out the menu. Plus, the bakery offers an assortment of choices for the sweet tooth.
This expansion has increased the business from one outside table to 13 and from nine employees to 20.
Browder, along with his wife, LuEllen, and daughter, Laura, are proud that they are a “mom and pop” business providing down-home comfort food. Lyndell credits Laura for the design of the farm-themed eatery. “We’re catering to that since this is a farming community,” he said.
Much of the decor came from family members, and because they just opened at the new location Aug. 24, they are continuing to add to the atmosphere.
On Tuesday, Sept. 10, the Chino Valley Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for PepperJacks. “We had a great turnout. I love working with the community,” said Browder. “We do a lot with the high school and the police department. We want to help people out when we can.”
Lyndell said PepperJack’s mission is to not only serve good food, but to be a destination – a place where locals want to hang out. He moved to Chino Valley 20 years ago from the Central Valley of California to live closer to his brother-in-law.
“There wasn’t another place in the Quad Cities where I wanted to open PepperJacks,” he said. “Chino Valley has been good to us. They have kept our business going.” QCBN
