I've been wanting to try Peppa's for awhile, so decided to grab a meal to-go after dinner since I was in the area. There are no seats anyways, so expect to grab and go here. They have a kiosk screen to order when using card or order with the cashier if paying cash. I would've loved to try the Oxtail, but it was out. Instead, I got the Jerk Chicken with Mac and Cheese ($14). Also added oxtail sauce and extra jerk and BBQ sauce too. Definitely drown your meat in sauce as it's got such a nice savory flavor with a kick over the smokey chicken. This was such a great combo of meat and carbs; and so flavorful from the sauces and spices. I don't often have Carribean food, so this was such a treat. I wish they had locations closer to me. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - Menu - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very professional, friendly service. Streamlined ordering system with a kiosk. Spacious place, so patrons had personal space. That's a thing here in NYC. Great portion sizes. But the worst Jerk chicken I've had in recent memory. Definitely bottom 3 possibly ever. No flavor, no spice, no smokiness. I thought it was just me, but I asked my last to taste it and she asked "where's the jerk?" Sometimes cooks have bad days, so I might have come at the wrong time. But I can't confidently say I will be back unless something has been changed. I should've known better when nobody in the store ordered jerk from a restaurant with Jerk in the name. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I like that it's open late and they give you a lot of portions for the price (its hard to get food that cheap in nyc ykno). I'm not sure if its cause I didn't eat the food right away but I did reheat it when I got home, my chicken was dry and the mac n cheese didn't have much flavor. read more

Let me tell you something! I ordered one big plate of jerk chicken from here. First of all, some of the best jerk chicken I've had, and the sauces on the side, amazing! Secondly, I was able to feed myself for more than three days on these portions. This spot reminds me of what New York used to be and it's worth every penny! read more

I don't even know how to compose this review about Peppa's. Like fuh real FR! I have mixed feelings but I ain't here for all of that so let's get into the real meat. Yeah, daiz ah big fat, juicy pun. Their food is really good. I enjoy it. A LOT! I could eat it every day (except the rolls on my sides aren't feeling that typa vibe). Customer service IN MY EXPERIENCE 2.5/5 Cleanliness 5/5 Ease of order 4/5 Special order, (for instance you don't want your oxtail mixed with your macaroni salad) 0/5. Food great! 5/5 Like I said, my rolls have started complaining because I've been here numerous times even without checking into Yelp BUT, I'm trying to stay away. However, If you're in the mood for good, affordable, Caribbean food you should definitely give them a try. Tell ya personal trainer I said "HEY". The end. read more

Im a regular customer bcuz I usually love their chicken but not this time. The chicken tasted like baked chicken in the oven without any jerk seasoning & the rice was hard & old. That'll do it for me. I'll take my business elsewhere. Food is too expensive to be disappointed. Restaurants never stay consistent. Do better read more

Anytime I'm in Brooklyn, I have to visit Peppa's! I absolutely love their festival! The first time I visited, I only had 1 order of festival!! I promised to never do that again!

I thought it was just ok. Since I was in the area i had to go to the ups store . I decided to get some food from the famous peppas. First off the menu on the wall is just for show . The prices are not correct so one can't go by that. I asked the cashier is $11 jerk chicken meal a medium she says that isn't correct Red flag ignored lol why did not I just leave I also got an oxtail meal for my mom the pride on the wall read $18 but it was packed with rice and 3 oxtails I am not an annoying customer that watches every move. I fell back and listened to music while my order was packed. So k was charged more than posted and I did not get a receipt with my change smh I felt low key ripped off. I wanted to support This was a I have food at home moment The jerk chicken was good although I added jerk sauce I Received a good serving of jerk chicken I am not sure if I want to try the original location They probably won't see me back read more

I walked into Peppa's and was greeted immediately. I ordered the $7 lunch special, a small jerk chicken meal with rice and cabbage. I also ordered a Sprite and festival, which seemed like a bread dessert. I would have ordered the mac n' cheese, but they didn't have any today. The service was okay. A person who came in after me was served before me, perhaps a regular. I was given half of my order, but had to ask for the rest. The person forgot my complete order three times. The food was bland. I like that I could add more jerk chicken sauce to my dish, but it tasted like store bought BBQ sauce. The cabbage was cut into strips like collard greens, making them easier to eat (and ideally, easier to absorb flavor from the broth.) However, the cabbage had no flavor. Nor did the rice. My favorite part of the meal was the festival, a dense sweet bread. It tastes like corn bread and a cake doughnut. I would get it again. All in all, it's an affordable lunch special, but between the flavor and customer service, I wouldn't return anytime soon. read more

Ordered lunch for my honey as a surprise. Steph delivered timely and correctly. Reports are that the food was delicious- well seasoned. Not shown in the pics are the chicken soup & fried plantains also offered. The reason for the 4 rating- you cannot get the restaurant on the phone. The prices are good and so is the food. Packaged carefully to ensure no spillage. Great job! read more

I rated here this low because this place does not accommodate customers request and have no way of reaching the manager as requests for. The cashier is very rude, and I have been coming here for years and may never come back. I only spend my money where I am given services and little options shouldn't be that hard to accommodate a regular customer who is not begging. Last Friday, I stopped in to get food as myself or husband usually do since we both work in Brooklyn but do not live here. I wanted Jerk chicken for myself and my husband wanted me to get him curry goat and white rice but do not want them together because the food gets saggy by the time we get home. I asked her if she could put the curry goat separately in a small bowl. She refused and I asked for the manager and she has no way to reach the manager and told me the manger would refused too. How can someone work somewhere and can't reach their managers? I called my husband who said the young lady refused him before and when he spoke to the manager, she said it's ok as long as he pay for the bowl. I mentioned that to her and another working who agrees that she sometimes accommodate as such, but the young lady still refused, and instead, I heard her in the back telling the other nice young polite man that I was lying. That got me very upset, and I left as a very unhappy customer who might never return because of the horrible service I got. read more

Jerk chicken is smokey, flavorful to the crisp and a wee on the dry side. Depending on how u like your chicken- moist and soft- this is not. Packed solid with smokiness thrown over some rice and peas and sauce of choice this would be amazing. Peppas has an amazingly spicy and tangy bbq sauce. Also fantastic if you're on keto and you want finger licking delicious no fuss no muss. Oxtail on the savory side and could be cooked to more tenderness- but that's me. I like a fork tender, fall apart, sweet sticky oxtail over rice but I've never met one I didn't like. The Mac a bit softer and drier cheese than I'd prefer- but I don't know what I'm talking about Bc I'm not a fan of Mac and cheese. Settle down, I know I just disqualified myself of any critiquing with that, but I call it like it is or isn't. That 1 plantain though. A whole other level. But why just one???? Buy the whole dam side please. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - two trays of food - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you're in Crown Heights, you have an ample amount of Caribbean spots to choose from. Peppa's is one of those options you should choose- especially if on a budget. I'm trini, so I know a good jerk when I taste it. The chicken is moist, flavorful and pepper sauce is on point. I'm a fan and definitely would go back! Plus, it's only $10 for a dinner meal, which comes with 2 sides. Awesome deal! They do have a bathroom and they have some minimal seating too. Definitely give it a try! read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - Jerk Chicken Platter - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On cue, you get da barbe-queee. I love jerk chicken. But the good stuff is hard to come by. Except in crown heights. There's a lot of amazing options. But one of my favs is Peppa's. Why? Delicious. Reasonably Priced. And their hot sauce is delish. I like the Jerk Chicken Platter. Comes with peas and rice two sides. Cabbage, salad, sweet plantains or Mac salad. Mmm Mac salad and plantains ftw. No tings anymore. But I did put in a request. So if you see that on the menu, you're welcome. Haha kidding. But really. Nothing better than an ice cold Ting or Jamaican Kola to complement this beauty. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - Medium Jerk Chicken Meal with Mac Salad and Sweet Plantains. And Jamaican Kola - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very decent jerk chicken spot, but definitely no frills lol Decent in and out pick up or order in dinner. The food has good flavor, specifically the jerk chicken with BBQ sauce. The jerk sauce is incredibly spicy to me so I always skip it. The sides aren't the best. I've personally had MUCH better plantain and cabbage. The plantains are kinda dry and sweet-ish, not soft and decadently sweet. The cabbage is.....different. Not awful, just not what I'm used to when it comes to my Caribbean food spots. The Mac pie is definitely nothing special, I didn't enjoy it and actually barely ate it. The pink lemonade is good just very sweet. Too sweet for me personally and it won't be something I order again. I mean, they are known for their jerk, which definitely is the star of the show soooo...... I feel this rating is justified even with the sides lacking. They also make a BOMB homemade chicken soup. So tasty and well seasoned. I find myself getting double so that I have a delicious lunch to look forward to the next day lol Overall, I highly recommend the jerk chicken w/ BBQ sauce if you can't handle heavy spice and skip the sides and make your own at home if you can. read more

Sorry Glorias, but Peppa's has the best oxtail in Crown Heights! This was my first time ordering from Peppas. I've heard many good things about them, so I decided to get it delivered via Uber Eats. The oxtail was spot on. A nice rich gravy and that extra kick of spice just how I'd imagined it to be. I ordered the macaroni salad for my side, but wished it was served cold instead of warm. Definitely will be coming back to try their jerk! read more

Peppas is good for when you're quickly looking to pick up some good curry chicken. The chicken is flavored well and they have great Mac and cheese. Always ending up picking up food from here when it's late and just craving some good food! read more

Same great peppas taste, if you dont know what that means, its the best jerk chicken this side of boston bay. Crispy, juicy, spicy (+ jerk sauce), sweet (+bbq sauce), its like heaven. This location even has a couple of tables and seats to enjoy your food. The portions are smaller than the OG location on flatbush. They also had a couple more fancy crown heights options like mango salsa and a simple salad bar. Come for the chicken and festival, ignore any attitudes, and have the best jerk chicken in NY. read more

Also they are open late but, nOt 24 hours like their original location on Flatbush. read more

We stopped by on a weeknight. We both got the jerk chicken dinner. I got mine with plantain and Mac. We both got the festival. Food was good! We also both got the Jamaican festival. I loved it, it's basically like a little doughnut. The woman at the counter was kind of weird about which sides we could choose (even though the sign said the chicken dinner came with any 2 sides), but other than that I'd come back. My friend wanted the mac and cheese but I guess the lady told her she couldn't have it (???) so she got the Mac salad instead. Also, when I ordered the festival I gave the woman $2 in cash (1 piece is $1 without tax) because I assumed she would give me change. She did not. read more

Im sick and tired of ordering from peppas and every time they giving dry ass rice with the food. You order a meal and you're not getting any gravy on the rice. I don't ever write a review but it's really disappointing at this point. Dry food, no gravy. no matter how many times you request for them to add gravy on your food. It shouldn't even be an ask when you clearly indicate it in your order. read more

A combination of hole-in-the-wall and a fast food joint, serving Jerk chicken and other Caribbean specialities. There is no place to sit nearby, so plan to grab and go. for about $10 you get a few pieces of grilled Jerk chicken, not too dry, and with great flavoring, rice and a plantain. I loved the spicy jerk sauce, and added it on every bite. The festivals ($1 each) were also fresh and good. I'll try one of their other dishes next time. read more

I always questioned whether this place was owned by the same people who operate the Flatbush location due to a negative experience I had with the jerk chicken here...found it was hardly seasoned, lacking in flavor and chicken was largely pink, undercooked. Never had a bad experience like this at the OG location. Plus side, online ordering is very easy now, pick up in less than 20 minutes. Only complaint is I paid $16 for a medium oxtail meal, which includes only 3 pieces of oxtail and literally ONE plantain. Another negative, includes rice and peas only, no cabbage!!! If you're not gonna give more plantains or side dish, you should at least throw in cabbage. Service leaves some to be desired, I'd rather pay a little more at its nearby competitors, or perhaps stick to their location in PLG. read more

This spot is causing Integrity issues between ubereats and its subscribers . On Thursday May 27,2021 I ordered 2x larger jerk chickens and 4 festivals . I received one medium order . Immediately contact the restaurant and the deliver driver both refused to answer. The following day I contacted Ubereats whom stated theirs nothing they can do to assist me and I would just be out of $42.40. Horrible service if they didn't have the food they should not accept the order. This is consider fraud . read more

I loved how they still do lunch special even on weekends. I came here on a Sunday around 12pm and got their lunch special with jerk chicken ($7). It comes with a choice of side, rice, beans, and jerk chicken (or other protein you want to choose). For the side, I chose plantains and my boyfriend who also got the lunch special chose macaroni salad. I wanted to get their mac and cheese but apparently you can't choose it as a side for the lunch special. After we got our order, we drizzled their jerk chicken sauce on our food and I didn't know it was spicy... I was still able to enjoy it, but for someone like me who has very low tolerance for spicy food, I wished I opted for their bbq sauce which was another option they had at the counter. The jerk chicken was juicy and plantains on the side were also really good. The portion was perfect for me as they give you a decent amount of rice, but if you're hungry, then I recommend getting the regular jerk chicken meal ($10). The only downside is that they literally gave me ONE plantain for the side and I was very disappointed. P.S. This is just a take out place and there's no seating. I think you can also give them a call and place an order ahead of time for pick up! read more

The jerk chicken is always great so I'm here to talk about the $5 Plantains or shall I say plantain jerky. I expected a large container since it cost $5. I expected softer plantains.

My to go spot! I order : Jerk Chicken meal : quarter chicken w/rice and beans + 2 sides Oxtail meal : good amount of delicious oxtail w/rice and beans + 2 sides Fish meal : perfectly fried fish (not sure what kind, not salmon for sure) w/ rice and beans + 2 sides. Their sides are sweet plantains, macaroni salad (must try) cabbage and something else. They also have festival bread which is pretty good. Service isn't all that fast. Staff are not exactly friendly and are all in their teens and early 20's. So expect some hiccups, attitudes, unprofessionalism. They only deliver through Uber eats. Nonetheless it is really good! Food portions are heavy and prices are okay. Go go go! read more

A fairly good Jerk Chicken spot that's quite filling per meal. I remember going to the Flatbush one a few times in the past but this one is closer to where I am now and though he experience differs but is roughly the same quality. If you come here for the jerk chicken like I do then be warned that the large is VERY filling. It comes if huge scopes of rice/beans, a small amount of sides and the jerk itself. All of it is good though the chicken shines out the best. I do wish though that they give you more of the sides and less of the rice though for the price of the meal. Right now they don't have any outdoor seating which is a shame. It seems like one of those places that now makes bank on ordering apps. You can tell based on the interior being quite simple... I don't remember if the Flatbush one was the same as that was a few years ago when I tried that location. Still even if there was just a few tables I would of highly appreciated it. This place does a good job at filling the Jamaican style food cravings I will occasionally have and with this place being fairly close this won't be the last time I show up. read more
