What perfect creme brulee! I LOVED IT! The owner was gracious and when I asked him if many customers request dessert first, he said no, however, he is proud of the CB! I am so happy to have a new place to go and next time I will order like... 4 CB's. Thanks for your work for excellence! more

We stopped in Abingdon on a road trip to attend a play at the Barter Theater, and the receptions at our motel recommended the Peppermill (providing a coupon for a free dessert along with her recommendation). The food was outstanding. I had the Bistro Chicken, and my husband had the Lime Ginger Salmon. Both entrees were excellent. We shared a... more

The Peppermill is one of the most popular restaurants in this area, and with good reason. The food is delicious, the recipes are creative, and the service is wonderful. I read about the review of the previous poster, and all I can say is that this person is clearly a disgruntled ex-employee or a competitor. The Peppermill has a great... more

I recently ate at The Peppermill in Abingdon and had a very bad experience. First the food is overpriced and just sort of slopped on a plate. There was nothing artistic about the presentation and I ordered a pasta dish that came out looking like a bowl of vomit. I would expect that when paying these prices you could expect... more

Starting out one summer afternoon from Richmond on a two-week driving vacation to points west, we decided to stop for the night in Abingdon, a small town in southwestern Virginia. Just after 8 pm we checked into a chain hotel near I-81 and asked the desk clerk about good local restaurants, hoping for something not part of a national chain.... more

We had been to the Peppermill previously and received an e-mail coupon for $10 off for my birthday. The meal was okay, service a little slow (long lull between appetizer and salads), and at the end, the server neglected to take off the $10 discount--after about 10 minutes trying to get someone's attention, we wrote "coupon" in the tip line... more

The menu was full of unusual and creative food combinations making it hard to choose. Prices were quite fair - ranging from $10 for an entree salad to an average of $18 for an entree. The wines had enticing, detailed descriptions. The pinot grigio was excellent and a brand I was unfamiliar with. I had trout filet which was seasoned... more

Last week I was in Abingdon and ended up having dinner at the Peppermill. The food was great and the service was "fun." My pasta dish was fresh and light and my buddy raved about his entre. Great place. more

After an extraordinarily enthusisatic recommendation from the desk clerk at the Hampton Inn, we visited. The service was slow, the shrimp pasta was so overspiced I almost sent it back, and with such hot food water refills were infrequent. But the staff was friendly. The following night we went to Bella's - much better food for a quarter of the... more
