Overall, I will say the service here was really good in a Saturday night but there was not a huge crowd. They made sure we were well taken care of and my friends enjoyed the drinks. As for the overall food it wasn't my mom's kitchen but it was still solid. I do wish there cabbage had some more flavor and that jerk chicken had more of Smokey flavor that you get from true roadside chicken. Overall for Milwaukee I think this place is worth a try to see if it fits your tastebuds.

I visited Pepperpot when I was walking by and noticed they were a new addition to the neighborhood…read moresince I had last passed through. It was a Friday night but I was the only dine-in customer when I first walked in. Later a few more came in and there was a steady stream of takeout customers. The building is very spacious and has room for plenty during busy periods. The staff was really nice, even when some unrulier customers came in. They checked in on me and brought me a box right away "just in case" when I could tell I would be taking some food home. The portions are huge. I had to try their jerk egg rolls and I wanted curry chicken but they were out of curry so I got jerk chicken instead. The jerk seasoning was really infused into the chicken skin and they brought out more jerk sauce. My meal came with rice and beans and braised cabbage--I almost wanted more of those in proportion to the meat. The egg rolls were similarly large and were accompanied by sweet chili sauce. I only ate one of my two to save room for my entree and took the other one home. One quirk to keep in mind is there's an automatic 18% gratuity for all dine-in orders, even for one person. There were signs everywhere but I still almost forgot when I got the bill. There's a bar and there seems to be entertainment for the bar crowd as well. Would like to try the salmon or the Rasta pasta next.

Caribbean Jaacs opened this year not far from where I work and is probably the only Jamaican…read morerestaurant in the Milwaukee area I haven't tried yet, so I stopped in to pickup a lunch order to go. My order consisted of jerk egg rolls and a jerk chicken plate with rasta mac and sweet plantains for the sides. The jerk egg rolls were good, but I don't think they're my favorite in the Milwaukee area. One of them had a large piece of green pepper in it, so I assumed the other two would as well, but I didn't find it in the others. Other than the green pepper in the one egg roll they were filled with just chicken and cabbage, so not a ton of varying flavors. The rasta mac is mac and cheese with some diced peppers mixed in. The peppers added a little flavor to the mac, but were also easy to pick out for those that don't like peppers. The plantains were probably the best I've had. They were a little mushy instead of hard, which I liked, and their sweetness was apparent. The jerk chicken in the plate came with half a chicken and relied on rub instead of sauce, which worked for me since that's how I prefer jerk chicken. I do think there's room for them to go a little heavier on the rub without making it too hot for most people.

This place is relatively new and a bookmark along with being the restaurant of the week. Butler WI…read moreis not known for a diverse food scene and this Jamaican restaurant is way out of place to start with. The place has a cool lounge vibe and probably the coolest place in Butler WI. My service was friendly and fast. I would have to go with the classic jerked chicken meal as my first time trying the place that comes with jerked chicken, mini hot corn on the cob, rice/peas and cabbage. The cabbage was probably the best from a Jamaican restaurant that I can remember because it was spicy. The corn cob was also very good because it was cooked in a broth of some sort and very different from regular corn on the cob. The rice and peas were also good with some spice but lacking any depth of flavor. The jerked chicken was good with moist meat and that classic dark skin but it needed the jerk sauce on the to get its flavor potential on point. Overall was the food good, yes. Was it the best jerked chicken no because that south side place is still my favorite. Would I go back for more of the menu, definitely.

We had the jerk ribs and the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, corn, and plantains--every single thing was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.

Service was excellent from start to finish, and we got to meet the owner, Jessica, who was fun, friendly, and clearly passionate about what she's built. Highly recommend--can't wait to come back!

Today I returned for breakfast at 8:20am which is late for me and once again there is no one in the place. The menu is not one of those phone book huge ones and is on the small simple side with the basics. The place looks like it was a typical Greek breakfast restaurant at one time with booths, tables and a lunch counter. I would get the meat lovers skillet because those can good with ham, bacon and sausage. I should have known that being $2 less than most other places that it would be skimpy. The real glass for the ice water was nice as well as cloth napkins. My skillet came with two eggs and sourdough toast. The sunny side eggs were perfect while the sourdough toast was not the best example. The skillet had shredded white slightly undercooked potatoes which had no crisp or golden color like they were not even cooked on a flat top grill. The meat was diced on the small side and sprinkled on top of the mound of shredded potatoes and a mild white cheese was melted on top. None of the meats stood out like how some places you go that's good bacon or sausage. Overall I can see why the place is empty because my breakfast was super average and this is no destination breakfast place at all. Now I'm not saying my breakfast was horrible but breakfast is my favorite meal so I make it a point to eat it everywhere I go.

All I have to say is, whether it be the ribs or the chicken, I pick it up from the bone and the meat falls right off of it. It should be illegal how tender and tasty the food is. The cabbage is delicious as well, and the plantains are an awesome dessert. The only issue I have with this place is that it's too far from me and I only get to have it once a month.

They've got plenty of options too--combo plates, spring rolls, fried rice, lo mein, and a variety of sides to mix and match depending on what you're craving. Everything is usually fresh, and the line stays moving even when it's busy (which it almost always is). Sides are a bit hit or miss--the corn can be a little soggy, but still has some crispness, and the mac and cheese is usually solid and comforting. Service is consistently fast and friendly, making it an easy choice when you're shopping and need something quick. Drinks come in 20 oz sizes and are a little on the pricey side, but overall it still feels like a treat when we're at the mall.

I ordered the La Bandera and it was overly salty. Now, I don't know if this is the norm for this dish, or if the chef that night was heavy handed. The first bite seemed ok, but the more I ate, the saltier it became, it seemed. Hubs had the short rib sandwich and was not impressed. We also had the queso dip, which I liked very much, and a pitcher of margaritas, which we both enjoyed. I would try this place again, because you never know if someone is having an off night and deserves a second chance. I'd also like to come here during the day (the Dia part) to try that menu as well. 88/2025

The dining room was colorful collection of pictures, garlands and banners which added to the cheery atmosphere. I had the fiesta burrito with chorizo. As stated, it comes smothered with their house made sauces, one green, maybe cilantro or avocado, the either a red sauce. Not listed in the description was also corn, carrot and peas. Don't be surprised when you cut into it and you see that. On the side was a coleslaw that brought some nice heat and brightness to the plate as well. Maybe the biggest surprise of the entire meal was the house coffee they served up. Today I believe it was their sauvecito. While I was surprised that they would serve such a strongly flavored house coffee, it packed a nice cocoa flavor that rounded out the meal nicely.
