Peppa's

I don’t know if these people dunce or they just don’t care. I’ve tried to give grace but it seems like they don’t care about their service or the food they provide. Between this location and Canarsie they’ll have to fight against each other to take the reward of being the worst! Ordered Jerk chicken with the sauces on the side they drenched the chicken with the sauce ordered festival never arrived another time I ordered a 16 dollar escovitch fish I receive a fish that look like it was 8 dollars ! No communication no reaching out no Great customer service. Can’t break the stereotype of Caribbean restaurant cause they prove it everytime that they rude and can’t follow simple instructions. I’m writing because this has happened wayyyyyyy too many times spending 36 dollars for a large jerk chicken just to receive this is insane and don’t even get everything that was ordered

The service is fast. Food is good. I put in a order for festival (taste just like ones in Jamaica) and the lady was able to accommodate me with 25 festival as a walk in. Although she had technical issues with the system, she went above and beyond to offer assistance as hot fresh festivals. Hospitality was deff 10/10. Would come back and recommend.

I ordered jerk chicken and the chicken doesn’t taste like jerk at all, didn’t see any seasoning on it either. It was basically grilled chicken. The Mac and cheese was terrible with no flavor, it was made with Walmart low-quality cheese that may end up choking you. The service was terrible, the cashier was very unenthusiastic looking quite depressed. They apparently only take cash. Terrible would not go back.

By far the best Jerk Chicken 🍗, seasoned to perfection. First time here, just happen to walk in after a late night. Fresh, clean and food is great. Customer service is great ‼️

Food, Amazing. Customer service, amazing. So much so that I wanted to tip the customers and I was told that they aren’t able to except tips and don’t have a tip jar. For a spot with amazing food and employees I would assume the manager would take care of his people but it’s the opposite.

The sauce do not make up for the lack of seasoning/flavor on the chicken. Can't say you the "home of best jerk chicken" tasting like nothing most people know jerk chicken to be. Do the community a favor and season the chicken... We would appreciate it.

This place was recommended to me as one of the best jerk chicken in Brooklyn and I decided to give it a try. First of all, I couldn't not believe in this day and age a restaurant only accepts cash! Make sure to walk with cash if you do decide to try. Overall the jerk chicken was decent but a bit salty, I'm from Florida I've had better jerk. Rice and peas was really good, fried plantain was too thick and not fully riped and steam cabbage I enjoyed.

I’ve been going here for a long time now. They are pretty much constant. They make a lot of the dishes like back in Jamaica it’s authentic to taste. They are cash only so can’t do cards

Take out only. Cash only. The food is really good consistently. My issue is the woman at the register. I'm used to some cashiers being rude at WI restaurants. One that works here is so nasty. Also there are no prices posted. I swear she charges me different amounts every time she rings my order. Last night she told me I should know what I want when I order after I added something to my original order. I spent more money not less. The rest of the staff is fine. She doesn't have to worry about me not knowing what I want to order anymore. I'm done.

this place is 10 start the food always taste great, my favorite is the jerk chicken with the Rasta pasta, the seafood soup and chicken is also my favorite, I highly recommend this place.

The jerk chicken was seasoned well and fried snapper eschovich. Rice and peas was dry even with curry gravy. Service was expected for a Jamaican restaurant. Music was playing while you wait for your food. At times it's hard to hear when your order was ready. No bathroom. $$cash only$$

Peppers used to serve better Jamaican food in Brooklyn, but its quality has declined over the years. While it's still okay, it's no longer the best option for Jamaican cuisine in the area.

Costumer service is wild bad for mid food at best. The x-man that hand out the food is not good at her job she ignores the customer touches the food with soiled hands. Dine at your own risk.

I was in the mood for a hot plate of comfort food and so I decided to go to this Peppa's location. I got the Jerk Chicken meal that was reasonably priced at $13. The chicken was cooked fresh, hot and flavorful. The rice and gravy was very good just wish they added more gravy. The meal was supposed to come with plantains but there wasn't any in my plate. When I asked the woman making the plates she said the plantains was there. Got home and surprise there weren't any on my plate. I would give 5 stars for the food but the order/pick-up process was a bit chaotic. It's cash only in store but you can order on the app with card etc. There were no prices on the menu instore which means the prices probably change regularly. My friend noticed her meal was $1cheaper on the app than I store. If you have the patience to wait and are I'd recommend this place for a good meal but order via an app!

Yayyyy Queens finally has a Peppa's! It did not disappoint. I had the baked Mac n cheese and stew chicken and both were tasty. I went on the late night tip (IYKYK) and there were still pretty decent options and the food looked and tasted delicious. The service was iight too. I didn't feel rushed or unwelcome. I'll be back and I know more will too.

The food including the jerk chicken is excellent but the service and the waiting is terrible. It doesn't matter if you order on Uber Eats or in-store it's the same. The people behind the counter don't seem to know what they are doing, they just scramble around. The ambiance is terrible with the attitude you get when you ask about the food. And it's cash only which limits your options on what you can buy. No I'm not using your cheap ATM that charges $3 and then my bank charges me another $3. Get a CC machine. How you run out of Jerk chicken and jerk pork on Friday's? This happens all the time!

I went there on a late night. The food was delicious but , they need better customer service skills!!

I had a craving for fish on a Sunday evening. Everywhere I went was either closed or sold out. After standing in peppas for about 20 mins I was prepared to walk out but you ever craved something so bad it didn't matter how long you had to wait? Well this was that feeling. I ordered the eschovitz fish and a corn on a cob. It was ok. I actually enjoyed the peppers and onions a little more than the actual fish. Service was far too slow for me. However I would give it a shot again. I've had the jerk chicken at the other location years ago and it was good. Bring cash because they do not accept cards.

Drum grill in front, jamaica mural on the walls, and customer service with a little attitude a little niceness...im most def at a proper jerk spot...ive had peppas mutiple times but keep forgetting to review it...come here for the jerk chicken, leave knowing your taste buds will be happy. Its classic jerk chicken with the grill marks, smoky and flavorful. The store is small but during these covid times its enough space yo be 6 feet apart, order, get your food and enjoy...Thank you for being open and helping me enjoy some great lunch hours.

This past weekend I got a lift to check out Peppa's Jerk Chicken. I've heard of it before and I believe there are a few different locations. I may honestly only go back to the location near Prospect Place or Flatbush again because I'm generally never out on Utica avenue and the customers weren't exactly warm and receptive of me even entering the establishment. The staff were fantastic though and the business is a different story - everything smells amazing. I took my what looked like half an entire jerk chicken to go and side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was gooey and thick and full of flavor and the jerk chicken moist and tangy (although I asked for a ton of sauce). Definitely had enough leftover for another meal the next day and it was just as good. Really want to try their rasta pasta. Two thumbs up.

Honestly the best fresh jerk chicken spot. In Brooklyn that I have came across. When the weather is nice you would see the man outside with the season jerk chicken grilling it and watching over it. It's always crowded anytime after 5pm. It's about 29 to 25 min wait for your freshly season jerk chicken. This is a CASH ONLY dine out restaurant so please walk with CASH!!!! I love the festival with my jerk chicken it's a MUST.

They don't clean the fish. So they probably don't clean much of anything. Do not eat here.

Once I opened up the container and that smell hit me I knew I was getting some authentic jerk. I love a dry jerk with all the smoky flavor and just the right balance of seasoning and this is it. They give you some sauce on the side as well that tastes good, but honestly it doesn't need it. The mac and cheese is very thick and cheesy so it's decent, and would probably pair well with something with a gravy like oxtail to soften it up a bit. Now I understand why there's so many people standing up waiting inside for the food. I'm glad I put in my order ahead of time to pick up. I will definitely return here in the future.

Hi, my name is Dee and I am addicted to your Jerk Chicken. Their house made Jerk sauce is nothing less than amazing. Expect long lines and a longer wait. Anytime after 5pm on a Friday, expect to wait. This spot is probably my top 5 locations for Jerk chicken !

This place is always busy so I recommend ordering ahead of time. Very limited parking on the side near the McDonald's. Be prepared to wait a bit. Food is nice and flavorful though. I typically get the fish (porgies or snapper) & festival or bammy & mac & cheese. But I hear the chicken is great too

HOT MESSSSS!!! I came there late night because I didn't get to eat dinner and I was truly dissapointed. I ordered the fried fish with the Rasta pasta and the fish wasn't cooked all the way. The Rasta pasta was delicious. I gave them a 3 star because of the customer service. The workers seem so annoyed and unhappy and I was friendly. I was just asking her a question regarding the meal and she completely ignored me and as a PAYING customer I definitely deserve kindness. I won't be back there

This that real jerk chicken and it's hitting the spot! I would suggest if you can't handle the jerk sauce then make there isn't any on the chicken but instead try BBQ sauce!

Food not the same. The Rasta pasta was not good. No seasoning at all. The jerk chicken was mediocre. Like the other peppa's better. Was disappointed this visit.

First things first, this jerk chicken is exactly what you need after dancing up a storm all night. What's even better us that they are open really late. The chicken is really yummy and juicy. It's not dry at all. The heat level is perfect on it's own. However if you are looking for a little extra kick, the pepper sauce they provide is to die for. I also really enjoyed their BBQ sauce; perfect addition. Oh and let's not forget the festival! I was lucky that I got it freshly made because it was extra extra good.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. The food is usually good but I'm truly disappointed at the service that was displayed. We ordered via yelp for pickup and waited over one hour and a half for a jerk chicken meal to be confirmed. Once confirmed we arrived at the restaurant and we were told to wait outside in line for another hour. The "security" at the door let people walk in and order their food and get it within minutes and told people that ordered online that he didn't care and that they would have to wait and if they wouldn't like it their chicken would be spit on or tainted. He also said "I don't have to help any of you". Truly disappointed in the way this handled especially with being a Jamaican myself.

The food is very good and taste delicious this is the spot to go to and the service is great they get you in. And out and there customer service is on point very nice and patient. The ambiance is fine very clean and bright music they play is also a vibe. Thank you guys for the great vibe when we come to your place of business.

First time having jerk chicken and I can safely say it was a great experience! I loved the flavor and the rice was great! I'm glad I ordered the fried plantain as the side because they were delicious. I wish I could have more! Only downside was that the place was very small and it was hard to hear when ordering. Great food tho!

This is Peppa's 2nd location (they have 3 now) and The experience is slightly different but the food is exactly the same. This location is clearly much newer than the first location. The first location is more hole in the wall. This location is still best for takeout does have seating for about 10 people. You need to have the jerk chicken if you come to peppa's its the best in the world if I am being honest. Im Jamaican and I have had jerk chicken all over the country and Peppa's is the best imho. Drizzle a little jerk sauce (its pretty spicy and honestly its spicier at this location as compared to the other 2) and some bbq sauce and your instantly treated to this humble plate of heavenly chicken. If im being completely honest I have never managed to eat anything else at Peppa's besides their jerk chicken and their festival (which is also bomb). This location unlike the other keeps other food items in stock. You can come buy and most things are available (oxtails, curry, stew chicken, mac & cheese etc). If you know Caribbean places, have the full menu available is a rarity. This location doesnt have that meanish brooklyn vibe that I appreciate from the OG but many people will probably appreciate it the service is much better and its not as crowded.

Opened 24 hours. I Had a late flight and was starving, and wanted something good to eat! So i had to make a stop at Peppas. There's literally only one seat here, but if you're visiting Peppas your intentions should never be to dine in, this is a take out Restuarant. I personally believe they have some of the best jerk in the area(not the best but it's up there) The jerk sauce is madd spicy, my cousin told me, this location is it's the spiciest out of their multiple locations. Pros: the service is extremely quick, they always have a lot of people staffed to accommodate rushes. Pricing is pretty reasonable. Festivals are pretty awesome! Aren't too many cons but this is a cash only Restaurant but there is an atm. I wanted to try the Mac and cheese because it looks so good, but i went with what i normally get, jerk chicken and festivals! (All star combination) And considering that i haven't eaten chicken in four months, it should tell you that their chicken is pretty good for me to break my streak.

I do my nails in Brooklyn and I go there and pick up all the time. I love their jerk chicken and the sauce. OMG. The price is great for the quantity of their portions.

My food was sauced with so much pepper that made my jerk chicken not eatable. Not good. If you're going to order please let them add pepper to your order. Just saying

This peppas is THE peppas to go too!! I always get the same thing: Stewed Chicken Rasta Pasta with 4 festivals. First off, how can I come across that festival recipe???? No one in brooklyn has ever made a festival better than Peppas! Not even the peppas on Flatbush! The food is extremely good, however, it's 2020!!! This cash only business is extremely tacky! And y'all need to move with a sense of urgency given the lines are always out the door!

Idk... It might just be me, but every single time I come in there to order food, ppl that ordered after me get they food before me. I be ordering shit that's literally ready to just put in the container and wrap it up cause you could see what you want and they still give me my food last while I ordered my food before other customers. Like I did something to one of them ugly ass servers there or something. I pay attention and that's horrible customer service.

Used Uber Eats for delivery. The wait in person is incredibly LOOOOOOONG but whether you order in person or delivery just know the jerk chicken will ALWAYS be on point and will NEVER disappoint. It's tender and full of flavor. I ask them to add the jerk and BBQ sauce on it so it can soak into the hot succulent meat. Best part, the festival is addictive! I think they put some kind of drug in it. I cannot stay away from this crispy and soft and sweet lump of dough. Use it together with the chicken. Soooooo good. Second best part is that they are open late... possibly 24hours. If you don't try this Peppa's (the one on UTICA AVE) you will never get to enter the gates of heaven. THIS CHICKEN IS HEAVEN!. 4 stars because its take out only and the wait is longer than president Trump's trail of lies.

This place is trying to make people sick. I ordered bbq fried chicken with rice and peas today and found a piece of PLASTIC mixed in with my food. I couldn't believe this. The management of peppas should really make a better effort to ensure that cleanliness and food safety protocols are followed. Eaters beware.

It's quick. It's cash only. And it's pretty good. The inside is clean and the staff is friendly enough. I've yet to be disappointed on any visit here. The jerk chicken is great and they let you sauce up to your liking at the counter. Just don't overdo...or overdo it if you want to be that weirdo. The macaroni and cheese is also a favorite of mine. I take it over the rice the and peas most days. This place is an easy and quick stop in. Enjoy.

Terrible customer service. The rude tall guy with a beard that works the counter doesn't respect customers or the line. Came in around 330p and ended up walking out. Sorry not sorry, you don't need my money anymore.

I ordered from here on door dash today and the curry goat I got is mostly bones and it's burnt. The whole pot I guess wasn't burnt but it tasted burnt like the bottom burnt and it stirred into the whole pot. It is very hard to eat it without tasting the burnt taste in every bite. Not sure how their conscious let them sell this!! UNACCEPTABLE!!

Waited over an hour for dried out and burnt jerk chicken. Ackee and saltfish had more onion and sweet pepper than the ackee and saltfish smh. They need a better operational system so you don't get cold food or waiting ridiculously long for the smallest of orders. They have the capability to be better but stop serving luke warm food

At this point I'm not sure if the people that work at this place is mentally challenged or they just don't care. I gave them multiple chances and now me and my family AND friends gave up. They ask do you want gravy, you said yes please then explain to them the numerous times you asked and they didn't give you any and then they do the dame thing AGAIN. Then the so called sweet plantains are always tough and NOT sweet. There's always an issue here. You order 2 festivals they charge you for 5 and just throw them in the bag. If you love paying for service and items you don't get then this place is for you. I'M DONE! Most of these 4 and 5 star reviews must be from family and friends, because everyone I know complains about this place. The owner must live in Jamaica and never visit this place or just don't know any better.

Ordered for delivery, food arrived fast and was packed properly. Love the food. Would definitely order again.

GREAT chicken!!! People are nice. For some reason you always have a wait before getting your order, no matter how simple it is and there is no AC. The chicken is so good - I don't care about the wait in the heat. If you try their chicken once you will go back. They are a cash only establishment

I ordered two meals and one was brown stew snapper. The fish tasted old I couldn't finish it and there was no stew on my fish. Just regular fish with onions and carrots. If you run out just say you're out don't serve me bad stew fish with no stew. I gave two stars cuz the escovich fish was good and the pasta was decent. For $30 it was a waste of money

Chicken always fresh from this location, just have to be careful with some small bones... this is the only place I eat chicken from outside

I guess longline is better than no line. The fool have to be good. For it to be a long line. That tell me a lot if it's worth it or not. That's the upside. The downside is I'm still waiting. Hmm...I guess they making it now. Positive thinking . So my tummy can calm down . Because I'm bloody hungry. Me looking at the menu didn't help... LoL And, then something on the menu caught my eyes. And, then I look around and ask this person behind me is this a , Jamaican place? He replied, Yea Mon... And, your Jamaican right? Yeaa... Why ? I said , since when Jamaican food place have roti upon their menu? LoL That weird right ?! That like going to, McDonald's and looking at the wall menu and seeing stew oxtail / rice and peas. LoL

I came here on Mon Dec 12th and ordered two dishes very disappointed the jerk chicken was not fresh at all old burnt and dried out reminded me of leftover food they had from Sat night. I actually called the restaurant to tell them and when i came back for a replacement they still had the same nasty attitude as when i first ordered The woman on the register was not friendly at all poor customer service poor representation of the business

I have been craving jerk pork for a very very long time, so i decided to try Peppa's. With the social distancing orders in place, they ask that only 4 people are in the store at a time. So once you order, you can step outside and wait about 10-15 mins for food to be ready. I ordered a small jerk pork and 1 festival (which is fried sweet bread that is formed into a stick) the festival was really good. They're known for their festival and i see why. The jerk was spicy but not Over the top. The first few bites are filled with heat, but it goes perfectly with the pork. They add extra jerk sauce at the end to make it perfectly saucy goodness. The reason for 4 stars is because like any Jamaican restaurant, the lack of customer service is a turn off. But other than that, i would definitely be back again. I didn't take a pic this time because i was starving lol. But i highly recommend if you're looking to cure any kind of jerk cravings. Be prepared to wait a while depending on the amount of people. But worth the wait.

Peppa di food sell off!!! Great presentation of food, fast delivery, delicious selection. We truly enjoyed our order, and appreciated the plastic containers for left overs. Good job Peppa's jerk chicken on UTICA di food was on point periodt

Let me start by saying that lack of customer service can truly ruin a good restaurant. Yesterday, I was having a craving for jerk chicken, so I decided to stop by and support my local black business. Let me start by saying that the ordering system needs some true organization. I understand that these are some uncertain times in which social distancing is a must. However, there should be no reason that customers are outside unaware of where to place an order or pickup! I watched a customer literally storm off after asking the gentleman at the front door where to stand and was ignored. After placing my order at 6:30pm, I waited for number 84 to be called as I waited outside in the rain. What a mistake that was because the events to follow were absolutely deplorable! I waited outside for 1 hour as numbers were called in no true order. Even customers that arrived after me got their orders first! After asking the first time, the gentleman told me that there is a wait on jerk chicken. The second time around, I was told that they had not called my order yet. Please note that I am number 84 and now they've called #2. A completely new cycle. This is when I became frustrated and entered the establishment. There is no reason that a customer should wait so long on food that should be pre-prepared and ready to share. I handed my receipt over and a lady behind the counter quickly mumbles to one of the workers that my order was actually supposed to be given first. I told her "ma'am I've been waiting over an hour for my food". Even though there was clearly a mistake, my order was forgotten, and I clearly waited in the rain for 1 hour while customers were served before me, there was no apology given. Not even an acknowledgment. No apology or even some compensation for the mistake made. That was truly it for me. After receiving my order, I asked for a manager I could speak to. I was told that the manager was not present. Wow! This restaurant may have good jerk chicken but the customer service is lackadaisical. 1 hour and 10 minutes is the time it took for me to receive 3 orders of jerk chicken and pasta. Peppa's, you have truly lost a customer after this day. Please change this dynamic if you want to keep supporters immediately.

Came here for take out good jerk chicken expect long line Coustomer service is average the jerk chickens delicious

Thought maybe I could try again but NOPE.. Like I said, no good jerk without a outside grill. You have inexperience cooks in the back working with gas grill burning the chicken.. USED TO BE THE BEST..

I love the food but of course the line is always out the door. But the food is always on point. I haven't tried anything else but jerked pork and chicken. They don't have an attitude but they are unorganized when it comes to getting the food served quickly.
