The Peddler Steakhouse - Boone

Our group of eleven thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Peddler. We had reservations which even made our experience that much better. The salads were delicious. My filet was cooked to perfection and served with an out of this world perfectly cooked sweet potato. The crème brûlée was the sweet treat I chose to wrap up my fine dining experience and it was wonderful! Service was on point. Parking was easy. Restrooms were spotless and stocked.

I've been to Peddler probably over 50 times in my life starting since the mid 1980's. Usually for special occasions a few times a year as a kid and in high school and beyond, and I've always enjoyed the unlimited salad bar and their steaks. It had been about 4 years since we had been back and it looked like the pandemic had changed their operations a bit new interior and renovations (we found out in early 2022) and they no longer had self service on the salad bar (now it's delivered to you after you fill out a salad order form), but still unlimited. We had fantastic service by an attentive and super friendly waitress (I think her name was McKenzie), and our meal experience was superb from start to finish. A few changes with the new system: no French onion soup anymore as part of the salad bar. And a few salad bar items are no longer there (I think caviar was one). Regardless, the steaks are fresh and cut table side by the Peddler and the staff are great and constantly attentive to you during the meal. We've loved this place for decades and still love going back whenever we're in town. TL;DR PROS: tons of food and large portions, plenty of salad bar choices. Great quality steaks and cooked exactly as you like CONS: parking could be tight but usually it's not a problem. BOTTOM LINE: one of our favorite restaurants in Boone great for a date night or family night for a nice dinner. We'll keep coming back!

Made a reservation for a Sunday night and were seated promptly upon arrival. Service was really great our water glasses were always full, bread came out as soon as we settled in, and the servers were able to answer any questions we had. We filled out our salad orders on the little cards while we were waiting for the peddler to come around and take our entree orders. Everyone in my party ordered the 10oz ribeye. It's definitely a nice experience to watch the steaks be cut for you at the table. I also opted to get two scallops and mushrooms as my side. Food came out very quickly. We had just finished our salads when the entrees arrived. The side of mushrooms was a great portion and definitely enough to share. I was disappointed with the size of the scallops though. For $3.50 each these were the smallest scallops I've ever eaten. The flavor was pretty good, but I'd probably skip on these next time. The steak was good, but not great in my opinion. It was cooked well, but there were definitely some tough bits that were difficult to chew and it could of had more flavor. Overall it was a pretty good experience and the service was great! If you're looking for a spot for a nice and efficient dinner this is your place.

I really enjoyed my recent visit to the peddler. The ribeye steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and both the béarnaise sauce and the crab cake were flavorful. The asparagus had a nice crunch to add to the dish and I was very happy that I chose the 'Oscar Style '. The mashed potatoes were a good blend of soft and creamy while still having potato chunks which I like. We went early in the evening and it wasn 't very busy. Our service was extremely quick and we were in and out for a dinner for 3 within an hour. All staff were friendly and the atmosphere was less chaotic than in my last review.

Wow oh wow. My first time coming here but not my last. The peddler was beyond my expectations. So knowledgeable and I enjoyed his presence. The steak was tender and juicy. The shrimp was perfectly seasoned. The vibe of the restaurant was phenomenal and the entire waitstaff was attentive. I will be returning!
