Pepper Pod Restaurant & Lounge

Category: Comfort Food (56 listings)

The Pepper Pod, built in 1913 by the Peppers family, began as a modest café on old Main Street in Hudson. Soon however, flourishing business necessitated a larger building, so one was built next to Highway 6 where business thrived, making it a landmark on the plains northeast of Denver. In 1956, our present building was constructed near the new interstate 80 (now I-76). Mr. Peppers son-in-law, Bill Howard, operated the “Oasis on the Plains” into the 70's. Dave & Beth bought the Pod in 1977, and decided to “Never rest on our reputation, but keep building one.” We began serving buffalo year round, a concept started due to the beef shortages of World War II. In fact, the beautiful bison heads decorating our main dining room are relics from the herd which grazed behind the Pod for many years. In 2005, our daughter Amy graduated from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY & has now joined our operation. You will notice her influence, as we continue to strive to bring you the freshest & highest quality foods available, prepared when you order. Amy brings fresh ideas & expertise to the Pod that you will find in new specials, & menu offerings. However, having grown up here, she treasures our foundation in tradition, so you still won't need a degree in Chemistry to understand our list of ingredients. Dave still selects well marbled beef, ages it in our facilities, and cuts it fresh daily. Our salad dressings, soups, breads, gravies, etc., are all made from scratch, with many from recipes created over 96 years ago.

this restaurant is an icon on the eastern plains. No one knows where Hudson is unless you mention the Pepper Pod, then they know where you are talking about. Oh by the way, the food is great!

Not only is the food great at "The Pod" but the staff is fantastic. My family has breakfast there every sunday after church and they make us feel so welcome. Their coffee is great and we just love the atmosphere created by all the servers and staff.

We actually eat at the Pepper Pod 5-6 times per week (they are closed on Tuesday or it would probably be 7 times per week). The food is good and the prices are reasonable. They have a great salad bar and make their own homemade soup every day. The staff is very friendly and most know you by name. The owner (Dave) always comes by and asks if everything is okay. (How many restaurant owners actually do that!!). Please stop by and have a meal at the Pepper Pod - You won't be disappointed! (Hi Rachel & Chef Amy ) :)

I, have eaten at many of Denver's restraurants, over the years. For the price paid and the quality of the food served, I feel that this is the best values I have ever received.
