Sgt. Peffer's Cafe Italian

Took my daughter on a date here this past weekend. The spaghetti and meatballs was exactly we were looking for. It was big enough for us to split, each getting a meat ball and she had plenty of left overs. We got a side salad and extra rolls. We should have gotten the house dressing. Ranch and blue cheese dressing was in a package. The waitress was kind and knowledgeable. The busser was attentive and cleaned tables who finished quickly. The tables and chairs need some help. Our table tilted and rocked considerably. The chairs were plastic and uncomfortable. Otherwise, the decor and atmosphere were inviting. We’ll definitely be back!

I was there on a busy Friday. I expected a long wait so that wasn't the issue. it had been decades since I've been there and was looking forwaed to trying their food again . i ordered the barbecue meatball appetizer for 9.99, in addition to a pizza. The pizza came after the expected wait and I continued to wait for the meatballs so finally i asked about it. the staff member came out and handed me a little take out cup that felt light. I was expecting something a bit more substantial so i asked the person if this was the barbecue meatballs i ordered and was told " the kitchen is really busy." I should have opened it and looked but my hands were full with the pizza box and I had already been sitting there for 40+ minutes and had a 20-minute drive yet to get home. When I got home I opened the container and found about 10 small chunks of meat that were not barbecued. I wasn't going to turn around and drive back down there but I did email the address on the website with this picture, asking for clarification on this product. And never received word back from them.

I have been going here for well over five years. I ordered my favorite: four cheese Red pizza, large. $21.69 - which would be fine if it actually was a speciality pizza, as stated. There was about 1/3 the amount of cheese this time and it didn't feed my family like it historically would. I called and calmly asked for the shift manager and was treated coldly with a defensive response by this woman: "we pride ourselves on adding a large amount of cheese with this pizza" - to which I said "I have pictures to prove it otherwise. Why are you arguing this with a regular customer?". She responded by asking if I wanted a $20 credit, which I begrudgingly accepted because it was almost $2 less than what I paid for before tax haha. I reminded her that I was a regular and was hopeful that it was a one-off. She hung the phone up on me without any farewells. Why would I have my first complaint argued after a 5.5 year period of regular consumption?

Ordered bolognese, Alfredo, salad and rolls for 55 people. Staff was friendly and easy to work with! Food was fresh and delicious. Very appreciative of how easy they made feeding a large group for our event!

Got carry out here twice, once for work and again for dinner at home. Baked tortellini 👍👍👍👍. The Tuesday special Mushroom soup was excellent as well. Bbq meatballs were surprisingly really good!
