    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.

    Jerk chicken plate with cabbage and rice and peas. A side of jerk chicken only--small $8-it was such a generous portion! So flavorful. DoorDash was fast! Def will be back :)

    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.

    The food is so delicious very tasty not overwhelming with too much spices that you can't enjoy it. The food is fresh and you could see the kitchen with is very neat and clean. The staff was very nice and even told me to take care of myself when taking my insulin. I tried a festival and it was amaze ball, our friends recommended this place and it was a great choice bc I plan on visiting the each time I'm in Brooklyn" spread love is the Brooklyn way.

    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!

    Jerk Chicken Meal

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Medium Jerk Chicken Meal with Mac Salad and Sweet Plantains. And Jamaican Kola

    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.

    Jerk Chicken Only, Mac. Gross Sweet Plantains. Pink lemonade.

    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.

    Oxtails and mac and cheese

    I really wanted to like the food. Placed an order on Uber eats. Didn't mind the 1.5 hour wait being that they're a little far. Ordered the oxtails with mac and cheese. Mac left a lot to be desired. It was pretty bland. The oxtails were too fatty.

This Slap Burger has a giant flatscreen, which does not seem setup for the World Cup only and seems great for a change of atmosphere one ordinarily would expect at a fast food burger spot. The menu is a little different for me and not altogether easy to interpret the way it is laid out. So I asked the young woman at the register to place an order for a double cheeseburger with bacon and everything on it to simplify it, along with an order of fries and their C&C cola. The taste of the burger was nothing extraordinary in my opinion, especially in a City with so many choice and highly competitive burger offerings. This was like so many smashed burgers that are all the rage these days. I have not been generally impressed by smashed burgers, so this review is admittedly biased. This offered little to no caramelized edges, which would be one of the big positives for a smashed burger. The slap sauce, which seems to be mustard and mayo with finely minced and blended relish as best I can tell, did not make the case either. The slap sauce was good, but it did not cause me to write home about it. They definitely give you bacon to justify the upcharge, but the cheese was lost in the slap sauce. The fries had a nice fluffy interior, but were not that crispy outside. The fries were good, but ketchup is needed. The C&C cola was quite good. This is a clean location with good service and no real negatives. People of all walks were walking in. It's popular. For $18 and change cash, it's a decent value, especially if you have children. If you have a mature palate looking for the best burger experience, this is not it. 3.3 stars

    Peruvian? Caribbean? Somewhere in between? What kind of cuisine is this?…read more In any event, the rotisserie chicken is not to be messed with. It is full of flavor, albeit not that cheap considering this hole in the wall restaurant is located in an iffy part of Crown Heights. There is nowhere to eat here. Just take your food, walk up to Eastern Parkway, and eat it there... if you are brazen enough. I am not, so I walked to the Nostrand Ave subway station (on the 3 train) and took a roughly 30 minute subway ride home. The sides I got were the coleslaw (it is a vinegar-based slaw, not a mayonnaise based), and the roasted potatoes. They both taste great, along with the famed "green sauce", which is really a spicy Peruvian garlic sauce. No fooling me! I drank this stuff by the gallon when I lived in Virginia. If you get a combo, you also get their famed cornbread, but my goodness is it dense. It feels heavy in the hand, but also contains heavy flavor. They even cook corn bits into the bread itself! Really unique take and something I can definitely appreciate. The Bird is definitely the word here.

I went with delivery and got the half chicken with two sides - collard greens and squash. The chicken was nicely seasoned but not a ton of meat. The sides were very generous and exactly what I expected. The collard greens were fresh and not overly salty or bitter. I would have preferred less oil on the squash. The two sides were more than enough for one person. They give you a few choices for dipping sauces. I went with the green sauce and the harissa sauce. The green sauce was by far my favorite. The harissa was good too, a bit spicy. If you can only choose one sauce, go with the green. The green went better with the chicken. Would order again with a larger side of sauce.
