Brandon Cohrs
My favorite restaurant ever. All time. Very pricey, but everything on the menu is good. I think I’ve had it all. Here’s what you do: appetizer – Eggplant and goat cheese dish. Main plate – anything. Dessert – Bread Pudding. That’s the secret. Enjoy!

Debra White (Realtor Keller Williams)
This restaurant is always 5* for service, food quality and drinks. We’re always celebrating a birthday, anniversary or date night. It’s in our top 3 for fine dining in Fresno. I highly recommend the scallops, eggplant appetizer and bread pudding. SO yummy

Jeanette Hinojosa
Wow! The best service we’ve ever had! Our waitress/bartender was so attentive and always acknowledged us. We got ribeye steak and bread pudding bites….everything delicious. The restaurant itself is not as big as I thought it would be but it’s very nice. Upscale dining. Gourmet plates. Our total was $88 for 2 drinks, 1 entree, and 1 dessert. Dark ambience. I do not recommend sitting by the entrance because we had the cold air hitting us constantly…winter time:/ But 5 stars for the service!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went here 7 years ago, and we were expecting another exceptional dining experience. Not so much anymore. For those who have difficulty with eating cilantro, your dining experience may be restricted – and there were no “hold the cilantro” alternatives for the dishes we wanted.

Out of the handful of great restaurants in the Fresno area, I chose Cracked Pepper Bistro based on the menu items and pictures here on Google Maps, and they certainly did not disappoint!

Hunter Morton
Amazing food & drinks were fantastic. Bread pudding is not my favorite dessert, but this place blew it out of the water.

Nick Godbey
This place is amazing and hands down one of my favorite places to eat in fresno. Last time I was there we started out with the Mala-Insana Napoleon which is there eggplant appetizer then for my meal I had the ribeye and my wife had the NewYork. Both were amazing!!! And of course we ended our meal with the bread pudding and it was just as good as everything else on the menu. So if your looking for a classy place to have dinner then you should check out Cracked Pepper. Oh yeah and make sure you make reservations or it’s going to be hard to get in.
