| - Two words to remember about Sweet Peppers Deli: potato salad. Oh. Gracious. The potato salad. It is not like most potato salads. It is the elite emperor of potato salads. A sour cream base with a wee bit of mayonnaise tang lightly coats the sliced potatoes. There's bits of bacon in it, which obviously makes it better. It completely overshadows everything else Sweet Peppers offers. So much so, It should be its own category on the menu. Instead, it is blasphemously relegated to tiny mentions among the comparatively subpar sides.
If, for some reason, diving into a vat of potato salad isn't appealing*, the menu is large, though unvaried in ingredients. Unfortunately, many of the options sampled have been no better than average. After several visits, entree favorites only consist of the Southwest Wrap and the rotating soups of the day.
Considering the size of the menu and the number of items sampled, it appears that much of the business at Sweet Peppers may be attributed to the prime location in Baxter Village, and the level of service that is offered by employees. Though it is a chain with locations primarily in Alabama and Mississippi, the Sweet Peppers Deli in Fort Mill, South Carolina has a staff who offer superior personal service. Or maybe it is just the potato salad that draws the crowds.
*Reconsider.
Sweet Peppers Deli is located at 936 Market Street, Suite 106 in Fort Mill. 803-396-8888. Hours are Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Friday-Saturday, 11 a.m - 10 p.m.
