“Everything here was amazing. We sat at the bar and had the best service. Fried Green Tomatoes and the Patty Melt was hands down the best I have ever had.”
A DESTINATION
Welcome to JPepper’s, a culinary gem established in 2012 by Kernersville, NC resident Jeffrey Powell. Jeff's dream of creating a haven for exceptional Southern-style cuisine, paired with a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service, became a reality with the inception of this beloved restaurant.
Driven by Jeff's passion for authentic flavors and warm hospitality, JPepper’s quickly became a cherished dining destination in the community. Jeff poured his heart and soul into every aspect of the restaurant, ensuring that each guest experienced not just a meal, but a memorable culinary journey.
In the summer of 2023, the restaurant faced a profound loss with Jeff's passing. However, his legacy lives on through his three remarkable children, who have stepped in to carry forward their father's vision. Drawing from the invaluable lessons instilled by Jeff, they continue to uphold the traditions of excellence, dedication, and love for delicious Southern cuisine.

The menu reflects the rich tapestry of Southern flavors, featuring cherished recipes passed down through generations.
