Can someone explain to me how the Pepper Market at CSR works again? I know there is a gratuity included and they seat you, I think. Any insight would help.
That is correct. Pepper market is kind of a food court table service hybrid. You will go to various stations and select your food and a waiter/waitress will get you drinks. There is a mandatory 10% gratuity added to your bill. From personal experience I would avoid it for breakfast. The prices are 20%-30% higher than the other food courts and the food is all but identical. Lunch and dinner however are pretty good. The prices are a little more in line with the other food courts and they have some really good menu items.
Prices are indeed higher at Pepper Market. Below are several examples of the basic breakfast platter at different food courts.We enjoyed the Pepper Market. Nicer atmosphere, better selection and fresher food at dinner than other food court-type restaurants. I have to disagree about breakfast. My wife and I ate a light breakfast of two orders of toast, bacon, and two coffees for under $10. And it hadn't been sitting under a heat lamp dying out for the last 45 minutes. If you must go food court, this is a much better bet.
Also, if you would like to get your food to go, just let the greeters know and they will give you a special "ToGo" card. You won't have to pay the gratuity and there are great places to sit outside! We sat outside quite a bit, just because it was so nice. Inside, you can get refills on drinks and the servers are very attentive!
When we go back to WDW we will want to stay at CSR again just because of the Pepper Market!
Ps. If you are on the dining plan, a WHOLE pizza is only 1 credit!:sohappy:
In Pepper Market they refill it for you. But there is a drink station between Pepper Market & the gift shop (Cafe Rix, I think it's called) where you can get refills for yourself.That is good to know. I love to eat outside so this would definately apply to me. One other question, if you buy the refillable mug, can you refill it? or do they have to refill it for you?

As you can see the exact same thing is 50% more at the Pepper market than the other food courts at other Disney resorts.
It is not so much driving to another resort, just making people aware. It can be quite a sticker shock when a breakfast for your family of 5 that you are use to paying $45 for comes in around $75 for the exact same food.Oops! I wasn't questioning your math, merely pointing out that if you don't want to take two buses or drive to another resort for a food court breakfast, you can get a nice little breakfast here. I will try to be more specific in the future.
