I dined at Pepe's in late July of 2008. I ordered prime rib meal, my piece of prime rib was over an inch thick, I specified med. rare and it was done to perfection, it was accompanied by a salad and french fries with chips and salsa on the table when we arrived. The meal was priced at $12.95...a great value!
I was travelling as part of a group, several members of the group did the "Polar Bear Plunge" into the Arctic Ocean and each received a frameable certificate of their accomlishment by the friendly owner of Pepe's.
I would definitely go back to Pepe's if I ever go back to Barrow.
The food is overpriced (even for Barrow) and terrible. Go to Arctic Pizza or Osaka (great chicken teriyaki). Pepe's is owned by a very disturbed and unpleasant woman. My friend and I joined (legitimately!) the polar club last October and she refused to issue our certificates.

To set the record straight Fran Tate is a character and is an asset to the area. I lived in Barrow for more than 7 years and found her to very straight forward and willing to help when she can. As for not getting a certificate for the Polar Bear dip you may need to check on the long established rules. The time for officilaly gaining recognition for taking the plunge is after breakup.
