Pepper Jack’s Grille: A Place for Family Fun, Fantastic Food & Refreshment arbon Valley foodies showed up from the patio. C by the hundreds as the doors Ryan and Janel Elmore, owners opened to the all-new Pepper and parents of two sons, value family Jack’s Grille. Formerly at I25 and Hwy 52, friends, family and regulars had eagerly anticipated opening day. And they were not disappointed. Guests dined on the infamous Monte Cristo sandwich, the all new Fire Cracker Shrimp and Green Chili Mac and Cheese. They now offer a great selection of craft beers, an array of Moscow mules and many other specialty drinks. People appreciated the industrial motif, enjoyed the indoor/outdoor bar, and were awed by the spectacular sunset displays

and friends above all else and it shows in their new restaurant at 8274 Colorado Blvd., in Firestone next to Adam’s Bank & Trust. Having designed and built from the ground up, Ryan and Janel spent months determining what would reflect their highest priorities-family, fun and great food. They even stamped their hands in the concrete on the patio! Their trimmed menu is balanced nicely with long-time favorite foods and new entrees and sandwiches making it difficult to choose. Brenda said one of her favorites was the ahi tuna sandwich, “It’s seared perfectly. Tuna steaks should never be overcooked.” Families are playing the giant patio games while waiting for their meals. It’s refreshing to see parents put down their cell phones and engage with their children. I think the children benefit the most and their huge smiles prove it. While there are televisions to watch the games, Pepper Jack’s Grille is not a sports bar. “Our restaurant embodies Colorado, with outdoor activities, fresh food and a family environment,” says Ryan. “Come, unwind, watch the sunset, visit with your family or friends, enjoy the fire pit when the weather cools off….” Their motto has not changedEnter as Strangers, Leave as Friends. At Pepper Jack’s Grille, it’s easy to become friends with each person you interact with. The staff are not “just”

servers, they are our neighbors. As a side note, each staff person is working an incredible number of hours and they do appreciate your patience as they get to know the ins and outs of the new facility. Ryan and Janel are looking to hire additional staff so please spread the word. “This business truly empowers our community,” says Janel. “All but two of our employees are locals, the people who dine here, live here-so money is staying in our communities.” They are using local coffee roasters, bakeries and breweries as well. Paul Sorensen, Mayor of Firestone said, “When Pepper Jack’s closed its location on SH 52 it created a hole in the Carbon Valley community. Now that they’ve reopened at their new Firestone location the reaction from the community is amazing. This locally family-owned and operated business has given so much to our community over the years. It is a true blessing to have them back in business. Bon appétit!” “Amazing food and very friendly staff. Love the patio!” says Julia Davis, Director of the Carbon Valley Chamber. The patio is the perfect spot to enjoy a mimosa and brunch this fall. Pepper Jack’s Grille has extended breakfast hours on Saturday and Sunday, until 2pm. And are now open until 10:00 pm on Friday/Saturday and 9:00 pm the other days. As a temporary decision, they are closed on Tuesdays which gives them the opportunity to have a family day for them and their staff. Ryan and Janel have put their hearts and souls into every part of this project. Ryan shares, “This was the culmination of so many people, we could never have done this ourselves. We have been blessed by God, family, friends, and so many others who have invested in our dream. A few people they would like to mention are: • Dustin and Jody of Baker Builders • Jay Kuni • Justin and Shondra Ritter at CrossFit MHz (check out our MHz Margarita!) • Les and Karen Grote • The Town of Firestone

Ryan and Janel thank all of these people plus all of you who have shown an outpouring of support. Your overwhelming response to what they’ve birthed has touched their hearts in ways they could not have imagined. They are so excited to be a part of the community again and look forward to serving you!
