Peppa's

"Diners can get outstanding jerk chicken from Peppa’s delivered via Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash. The perfectly spiced and charred birds are available for pickup, too. Add a couple festivals (long sticks of fried dough) to an order of chicken, and don’t sleep on the rest of the menu, like the oxtail or goat curry." - Carla Vianna, Serena Dai, Tanay Warerkar

"Caribbean delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"You just ran several miles or at least sprinted for about 30 seconds or so, and now all you want to do is eat a big portion of extremely good food. Go to Peppa’s, and order a large serving of jerk chicken over rice and peas. The chicken is juicy and smoky, and you should accessorize it with some additional jerk sauce. If chicken isn't your thing, go for the oxtails or escovitch fish. You'll be happy either way. Once you grab your food from the person at the counter, it should only take you about a minute to walk back to the park and find a good bench." - Bryan Kim

"Aside from deodorant before junior prom and a three-pack of Tylenol PM before a red-eye flight, a meal at Peppa’s Jerk Chicken is the best use of $7 we know of. This counter-service spot serves a few different Caribbean dishes, but the jerk chicken is what you’re here for. A small portion, which is $7 and definitely enough food for one person, comes in a styrofoam container, and includes several pieces of juicy, smoky, charred meat over rice and beans. Definitely get at least one festival, too. They’re basically long, sweet hushpuppies, and they’re only $1 each." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Peppa’s has multiple locations around the city, and for good reason. Their jerk chicken does a lot of things well, but we especially like that each piece is juicy from the inside out. You can control how spicy things get, since most of the heat comes from their signature sauce, which tastes like a combination of BBQ and jerk flavors. If you stop by the original location on Flatbush Ave in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, there will be a wait. But it’s worth it for the kind of jerk chicken that has drawn crowds from all across the city for decades. What to get:Medium order of jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantains" - nikko duren
