The Jack Daniels French onion soup was divine. Husband loved the stir fry. We ate in the bar area, but the whole house is beautiful, Victorian details everywhere. Lovely atmosphere, great food. Highly recommend.

Drove from Richlands Va to Abington Va and had lunch at the Peppermill. You can dine inside or outside on the large wrap around porch. What a great place to eat. The resturant is clean, the atmosphere is welcoming and our server was great. We had the French onion soup and Philly cheesesteak sandwich and a club sandwich both came with fries. The prices were reasonable and the meal delicious. I looked at the dinner menu and will be going back for dinner. What an enjoyable meal and enjoyable time.

Nestled in Abington, VA, "The Peppermill" is a culinary gem that never fails to impress. Our journey began five years ago, and the memories drew us back for another extraordinary dining experience. From the moment we stepped in, nostalgia filled the air, reminding us of the warmth and flavor of their signature tomato soup that captured our hearts on our first visit.This time, our taste buds were tantalized by the "Poogan pasta," a divine creation of penne pasta adorned with succulent chicken bits, vibrant peppers, and onions, all luxuriating in a creamy Cajun sauce. Every bite was a symphony of flavors, a testament to the chef's culinary prowess.Not only was the food impeccable, but the staff's kindness and attentiveness elevated our dining experience. Additionally, I must give a special shoutout to our server, Misty, whose impeccable service truly elevated our dining experience. Her attentiveness and extensive knowledge of the menu ensured that every aspect of our meal was nothing short of perfection. Misty's dedication to her craft is exemplary, and she undoubtedly deserves recognition and a raise for her outstanding contribution to making our evening memorable. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home.Speaking of home, the atmosphere of "The Peppermill" is akin to dining in a luxurious mansion. The elegant ambiance, reminiscent of a bygone era, adds a touch of sophistication to every meal.In essence, "The Peppermill" is not just a restaurant; it's a destination for culinary excellence and unparalleled hospitality. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning patron, prepare to be enchanted by a feast for the senses that will leave you craving for more.

My husband and I each got the ravioli balsalmique with a house salad. Everything was delicious! We loved the restaurant's historic appeal and atmosphere, and we appreciated the amount of time it would have taken to restore it.

If you've ever been to Abingdon, VA, you'll know that there aren't many upper class restaurants to have business meetings for lunch. The Peppermill just happens to be one of the few in the eclectic and historic neighborhood. To that point, the restaurant is a converted 2 story house. The dinning rooms upstairs are literally the guest rooms. Hardwood floors throughout, it looks like a house right out of a movie - great atmosphere. I happened to have the Blue Cheese French Onion soup - VERY UNIQUE. I've honestly never had this combination before, but it works! Now be warned, the strong blue cheese and french onion may not work for everyone, but I happen to love blue cheese, and I love french onion soup, so it works for me. I had the Caesar salad. you had the pick of protein and i picked the steak medallions medium rare. Truly delectable, juicy, and very tender cut. it's the perfect balance of trying to eat healthy and indulging in steak for lunch at the same time. When you first arrive, the hostess will ask you if you are going to see a "show" also. the restaurant is associated with the very small movie theater and they may prioritize your service based on your showtime. Good option for entertainment if you're in town for "dinner and a show". I was here on biz for lunch, so no show for us.

The lunch menu has some very unique items, so it was hard to choose. We went with quesadillas and we were not disappointed! This place is a beautifully preserved old home. Take a moment to take a look upstairs.

This was a wonderful spot for a Anniversary dinner for my husband and I. The food is great, service was nice, and the mimosa flight was amazing. 10/10 would definitely recommend and would dine here again.

I love this place. Been here a few times and the service and food are always amazing! They welcomed my puppy on the porch and were so kind and friendly. I got the martini flight and it didn’t disappoint! The club sandwich is one of the best I’ve had. All the food was so fresh and delicious. Will absolutely be returning again. Special shoutout to my server from Boone NC. I can’t remember his name but he was amazing. Plus it’s in a super cute area of abjngdon and there is plenty of parking available.
