I went here the other day and got the buffalo shrimp with whiting and fries. The food was so amazing I got myself another plate later on in the day. Customer service was amazing, the workers there were very friendly and welcoming which adds to wanting to go back there again. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious and very tasty! My Thai shrimp was flavorful and enjoyable. I'll definitely be back!

Fish was fishy and undercooked (horrible texture) while the shrimp was phenomenal. The fries are also not good in my opinion because they are on the softer side. I can't speak beyond these items. Decide accordingly. read more

I love this place it's alittle pricey in my opinion but you can always count on the taste, it's worth every dollar

Pepe's Place - Seafood Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I'm in Westchester for the week and saw this place on Yelp. It's a small spot with a couple of seats at a window counter. When I walked in, everyone was so beyond nice. In a really genuine way, like everyone who is there just wants to provide a great experience and share their delicious food. You place your order at the counter. The Buffalo Shrimp was perfectly breaded and crispy. I think their sauce is homemade as well. The order came with 7 huge butterfly shrimp. The fries were absolutely delicious. They are hand cut, no breading, perfectly cooked. Mac and cheese was also fantastic. The mac and cheese is oily, but it's so flavorful and cooked perfectly. This is definitely a comfort food place, and they do it the best. As I was about to leave, someone from the back came out and was like 'Chelsea..before you leave, we have something for you to try'. It was a tiny piece of their dessert of the week (their dessert is always changing). It was a Banana Cream Pie Cheesecake (or something similar). Omg. It was the best thing I ever tasted, and I'm normally a chocolate-only dessert person. Like a banana crisp made with real bananas and then a homemade cream that was super rich and flavorful. Wow. Get dessert when you're there too! I didn't let myself buy it because I would have literally inhaled it, but wow. Go to Pepe's!! read more

Pepe's Place - Buffalo shrimp and fries and Aged Reserve Cheddar Mac and Cheese - Seafood Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

The buffalo shrimp were the best--crispy, flavorful, and packed with just the right amount of heat. The Thai chili shrimp was also a hit--sweet, spicy, and perfectly cooked. I loved the Mac & Cheese and yams; they tasted just like something you'd get at a family cookout--rich, and full of flavor. Overall, this place was a great find with great people and service. Can't wait to come back and try the greens next time! read more

New Ro does it again. Buffalo Shrimp !!!! Service was phenomenal. Ordering was easy, very polite and friendly and order was ready in exactly the time he said. The restaurant's ambiance was cute, not doing too much just enough. But back to my shrimp and fries. Omg delicious, crunchy and flavorful. Perfect for Friday night!!!!!! No food to post because it was so yummy but next time cause i'll be back!!!! read more

Ever been to a place that felt and smelt & tasted like home and even if it wasn't your home it was your idyllic home home. That's what Pepe's was like for me. I went on a Wednesday night not wanting to wait to eat too late. I stopped in. Everything I had was so tasty. I got an entrée of fried chicken dark meat (leg and thigh) of course with mac & cheese and they're vanilla sweet potatoes. Ahhhhh no complaints only kudos. It takes a little longer than most to get your food because everything they do is dropped fresh so give yourself at least a half hour. Call your order in ahead or order delivery. read more

Hidden Gem!! Dropped by on a shopping errand in New Rochelle. So happy that I did. Although the place was empty, I walked in because of a strong recommendation. Super casual spot. The owner, Pepe, was in the back cheffing it up! Pepe is such a humble man, cheerful man. I appreciate meeting the man behind the restaurant name for a few moments. I ordered the Thai chili jumbo shrimp and ling (Whiting) combo platter with rice, lettuce and tomato. I also added a side of fries because.... well, they are fresh cut and I'm having a glutton Friday!! The fries were "home" for me. So many nights as a child, my mom would cut up potatoes and make fresh fries and I hated them because they weren't McDonald's fries Now, I will take my fresh cut fries over any fast-food spot! These fries are the real deal! Made fresh to order. Worth the extra calories. The shrimp and fish combo was also excellent! Well seasoned and atop a bed of flavorful yellow rice. My tummy was happy and I will be back! Always excited to support small businesses and it is truly a bonus to me personally when the business is Black/Minority owned. #MinorityOwned #BlackOwned read more

I decided to check out this place after reading all the rave reviews. I ordered the Thai chili shrimp, cheesecake, and two sides of Mac and cheese and candied yams. The thai chili shrimp were good and came with a nice dipping sauce to compliment the flavor. I didn't like the fries at all. They were flavorless, not even salted, and some were rock hard. I paid $20 for the shrimp and fries and certainly didn't believe it was worth the price. I found the mac and cheese to also be bland. While the aged cheddar gave it a nice mild flavor, there was no seasoning to give it more flavor. Similarly, the yams had a nice taste but would have been better with more flavor. The cheesecake comes with a new flavor each week so you don't really know what you're getting until the order arrives. My order came with a banana flavored cheesecake. The cheesecake is about the size of a cupcake. Im not really a fan of banana flavoring and also didn't think it was worth the $9 I paid for it. Overall, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. The food was fresh and I can tell they used quality ingredients. My personal preference is for more seasoning but I know anyone who isn't about that spicy life would really enjoy this place. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! I hope they open up again soon! This is the beat fried shrimp I've ever honestly ever had! I've been coming here for at least 7 years. The thai and buffalo shrimp are so flavorful! Just stopped by to get a few orders and they were temporarily closed. Please open back up soon! read more

I was welcome by a man named Mitchell. He was very welcoming, very pleasant and suggested that we should their fried chicken. In fact , my friend and I were in the mood for fried wings. So we decided to go with fried chicken wings and fries. We also had their cheesecake, it wasn't your regular degular cheesecake now. This strawberry shortcake cheesecake was the bomb dot com ! We love every bite of it we actually ate at there before we got our chicken lol. But Mitchell kept us entertained. We took the chicken home to eat and when we took a bite it was very crunchy but i wish it was cooked a little bit more i prefer my chicken fried hard. read more

Cannot wait to return! Do not let the wait time discourage you- this restaurant is run by just few people at any given time that work very hard to make AMAZING food.

Pepe's Place - Fried chicken with Mac n cheese and greens, and Buffalo shrimp with fries. EVERYTHING was absolutely amazing - Seafood Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

With over 300- 5 star reviews I gave this place a try. We wanted to sample all the menu highlights mentioned in all the Yelp reviews saying they were amazing. We were underwhelmed with everything: The "Halal" dish with lamb and chicken $9.50- is more like a small rice dish with overcooked, dry pieces of chicken and lamb mixed in with kale, herbs and iceberg lettuce. You'll see from my picture attached that the portion is so small it doesn't even fill the container. The thai chili shrimp with whiting fish $18.50- you get 6 pcs of shrimp and 2 pcs of fish with fries. The batter on both was decent but the fish tasted a bit bland and the chili sauce is ok but nothing spectacular the way these Yelp reviews imply. The fries are terribly soggy but my bf seemed to like them. At this price point I'd expect a larger portion and better quality. Save the money and go to City Island for better fried seafood probably for $3 or $4 more. The fried chicken with sides of yam and mac & cheese $16.50- the fried chicken has a great fried crispy batter but past that the chicken inside is gross and slimy in texture and taste. The yams are not very sweet which some may appreciate but i found them very stringy. The mac and cheese has good flavor but tastes a bit mushy in texture like the noodles is cooked too long or the mac and cheese didn't have time to set and combine properly. The weekly special pistachio cheesecake $7- ok, this was probably the best thing we ate! It has a dense texture and full of pistachio flavor although not a very creamy cheesecake but still delicious! For a total of $75, I had high hopes for Pepe's and it is also a black establishment which I would definitely support if the food was spectacular at it's price point. I'll also mention that I saw a sign inside the restaurant saying 10% off on future orders for Yelp reviews so maybe that might be why there are so many 5 star reviews, I don't know. But nonetheless, I probably will not be returning. AJ Burgers which is 3 stores up the street has quality, flavorful food at decent prices with huge portions, although not "soul food" go there you won't regret it. read more

The food is awesome , pizza and nothing but pizza, made with love and passion, the old tradition way. Drink the drinks the original flavors , u can't find in stores. Service is served after placing an order , the atmosphere is calm and relaxed depending on the time and day you visit. Plenty of space to seat and eat, plus enough space for parking. Good food and price ; can't go wrong with that . read more

I got to say this place was a bit disappointing "adventure" today. After the 10th Annual Greenwich Boat Show in a fairly chilly morning, I just want some good comfort food like Southern or fried "healthy" food:). After searching on Yelp (always) within 20miles range, Pepe's Place popped up into my eyes. I was so excited because it offered soul food, American and Gyro that everything I recently like. Most of all, it has 274 reviews with FIVE stars!!! BUT..... The owner/chef/cashier "Pepe" looked humble, not domineering. He sounded polite and calm over the phone and in person. The small place was clean too which set it apart from a relatively messy environment (in 2blocks I saw 3 groups of police-in-action) "events". Lol. With the FIVE star/274-review expectation, I had the first bite into a jumbo shrimp, waiting for the symphony played but nothing happened!? Honestly it was merely like an ordinary fried bigger shrimp. Yes it was crispy fresh but really not much flavors. I only ate one shrimp. And the fries were so languishing and soaked with oil. I ate none. Good good good I only need to workout for 45 mins instead of 3 hours:))) Both lamb n chicken gyros were OK. Again very oily. The color looked warm but not the taste to my taste. I am an old school I guess I still prefer a traditional halal gyro with clean taste. read more

I was in New Rochelle a few days ago viewing apartments because I'm relocating there soon, and I was in the mood for some good soulfood, I Googled nearby Soulfood and PEPE'S PLACE showed up, so I went there and ordered the fried fish dinner with collard greens, mac & cheese and sweet yams for my sides...let me just say, everything tasted so good, but their mac & cheese took over my soul, i have never tasted mac & cheese like that in my life, it was AMAZING...And it wasn't just the food, the service was great as well, i felt welcomed and i know you will too if you go there, i defenetly recommend PEPE'S PLACE, and please do your self a favor and try the mac & cheese. read more

Now I don't really write long reviews on Yelp but the owner is super nice and the food is amazing!!! I was craving fried chicken and found this place on Yelp. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the chicken was juicy. I ordered Mac and cheese and potato salad as my sides and the flavors did not disappoint. While I waited for my order we spoke with the owner and he even brought out different sides for my husband and I to try. Highly recommended this place and will be coming back again in the future. read more

Pepe's Place - Seafood Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

Pepe's place is a great place to eat at. I thoroughly enjoy their take on the classic 'fish and chips!' The fish which is ling whiting is seasoned well and just a flavorful delight when paired with their tartar sauce! I ordered for my entire family and everyone enjoyed the food! But I think we should give Pepe's a round of applause for their smoking good Thai Chili Shrimp!!! It kind of reminded me of General tso's shrimp. Man it's so good but I had em leave off the sesame seeds because I'm not a fan of those. The Mac and cheese is hearty and they used the right mix of cheeses. I was surprised how good it was! This place has got comfort food DOWN PACKED! Mustard greens were also delish! Lastly, the cheesecake flavors changes often. I tried the orange dreamsicle flavor. Now, I really don't like cheesecake but man did this take me back to sunny hot days in summer as a kid, chowing down on a dreamsicle pop. The mini cheesecake was creamy and not overdone! All in all, everything tasted great and was bursting with flavor! read more

Pepe's definitely ace top notch hospitality down. We walked in and the man named Evan behind the counter offered to run down the entire menu with us after asking if this was our first time there. The man was training a new staff and was explaining to the new cashier the responsibilities. She was alright but forgot to give us utensils twice when she bagged our food. He was very patience and polite with her infront of everyone. The food was delicious and the man was open to feedback. He made sure to check up on how we were doing. I see a lot of potential for the business to grow if they can maintain this type of service and quality. From their detailed explanation most of their dishes are made in house and that's when you know they put heart into the food they make. I ordered the grilled chicken S. Indian bbq platter but tried my boyfriend's mixed one. Definitely get the grilled chicken and lamb platter because the lamb added an extra element to the dish. I also got the mac & cheese but I don't see what the hype was about. I do taste the sharpness of the cheddar but I've had better. I really wanted to try the fried chicken but it takes 30 mins because they make it fresh. They also ran out of homemade mustard green. My friends and I only stumbled upon this place because we were only passing through. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely get the fried chicken and mustard greens. Better yet try one item from every category and taste test the whole menu. What caught me off guard was the homemade fruit punch. It was yellow instead of red and it tasted like pina colada! Those thai chili shrimps are finger licking good. I never expected this type of service and delicious food from this small joint. Boy did it prove my expectations wrong. read more

Five stars on Yelp means it must be good- I was definitely not let down. From the amazing hospitality to the mind blowing food, I am in love with Pepe's!!! I came in on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the NY buffalo shrimp with fries. while I waited, chef Pepe himself brought out three sides for me to sample- Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, and collard greens. They were truly heavenly bites!!! I asked the man in the front what he recommended to drink and obviously he suggested the house punch- also delicious! It tasted so fresh like the guy in the back was juicing fresh fruits! But the actual star of the show was the shrimp. Every bite was more beautiful than the last. It was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet. I can't wait to come back for more!!! read more

Pepe's Place - NY buffalo shrimp with fries - Seafood Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

This place is the real deal. The best food I have eaten in a long time and I am already plotting my next visit. The signature item: Buffalo Shrimp. Served piping hot, flawlessly cooked juicy jumbo shrimp. The crisp is just right, not excessive overpowering batter, just enhancing texture. The seasoning is just out of this world and totally coats the shrimp with finger licking sauce. Seriously, one of the best food items I have eaten on earth. Side: Mac and cheese. Award winning and deserved of its title. Thick, creamy, and delicious. Primarily a takeout place, but we got lucky and it was a quiet time. Stool seating looking out a large window was great for people watching. The service was so warm and welcoming, we were even given a complimentary piece of the whiting fish when Evan heard it was our first time eating in. That was INCREDIBLE from the coating, to the freshest meat, and the HOMEMADE tarter sauce (best ever) and I want a whole order of it next time. Thanks so much, and see you soon. read more

I enjoyed eating the seafood here for awhile. Unfortunately they have been messing up! The fresh tasting seafood I use to get now taste chewy and tough. It taste like it was refried, maybe somebody canceled their order and they didn't want to waste it so they give it to me. This has happened a maybe two times before but me and my family just ate and let it go. I can not ignore this anymore when I'm paying. I will no longer eat here. read more

I should've taken photos of all the yummy food but there wa simply no time for that lol, when I smelled my Buffalo shrimp gyro I had to dive in . I have nothing bad to say, the staff is so friendly and make sure you understand the menu and how to order . Everything is fresh and flavorful, it's not your average take out spot , you don't feel gross and like you dove into a mountain of greasy food . My only complaint was that we waited over 45 minutes but I will say that it was worth the wait . We will definitely be back . read more

Run and I mean run to Pepe's. Don't walk, keep moving. OMG the mustard greens were slamming. I had the best buffalo shrimp and fried whiting. I ordered the shrimp & whiting combo and my daughter got the Thai Shrimp. While we waited they brought us a sample of the mac & cheese, sweet potatoes and greens. So good and they were so hospitable to us new comers. We were really impressed with the genuine niceness of the people working there. Can't wait to go back. Now don't tell my husband because I promised to wait and go with him . . . but I couldn't wait. Pepe you got a winner, hope to return many times for your food. BTW, although there is limited street parking in front, directly across the street is a municipal lot which is very convenient to park and pick up food. Can I give him 6 stars! read more

If you don't know about this place, you should. Looked it up because my husband and I had a craving for some fried chicken, and I was in the neighborhood. Ordered over the phone - no problem, easy pick up, and dug in as soon as I got home. Portions are generous and you can tell that everything is cooked with care. Chicken was delicious, and the sides were excellent - ample portions, and good from the first bite to the last. If this joint isn't on your radar, it should be. Shrimp, chicken, greens, yams, potato salad - all amazing, all excellent, and we couldn't stop saying "wow... this is really good!" Can't wait to visit again. read more
