got the jerk chicken plate, it was a solid meal. a bit pricey & a bit more focus on presentation vs flavor but i guess you have to consider the location. we would've preferred cabbage (they only had salad), & prob should've requested the jerk sauce on the side to get more of it. but we did appreciate how crispy the plantains were on the outside. we'd like to try one of the bk locations it was also convenient that they had a bathroom, tiny but it got the job done read more

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

This place was just okay. You can dine in, they do deliver, and there are a few tables inside. We ordered the red snapper dinner and a side of mac and cheese to share. The food came out quickly (under 15 minutes) You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. The restaurant is small, but the vibe is great. The decor is vibrant, music is playing, and there are TVs throughout. Just a heads up, it's pretty loud inside. The food was average. The red snapper had a slightly sweet taste that wasn't our favorite. The mac and cheese wasn't traditional baked mac and cheese, but it was still good. The rice could have used more flavor, and the plantains tasted like they had been sitting for a while. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the menu has a lot of options. The prices are a little high, but that's expected in New York. They do have pretty decent prices for lunch so I suggest trying them for yourself during lunch hours. Overall, decent Jamaican food with a great atmosphere, but nothing that really stood out. read more

Good food and quick service. I ordered my food online for pickup. When I tried my food, the jerk chicken was dry and hard like it has been out for a while. I will try to visit another time to give it another chance. read more

I used to order from this location before covid. They always messed up the order but because the food was always good we kept ordering. We ordered directly from restaurant and they were happy to correct any issues. Present day I ordered twice. Via UBER EATS. Jerk chicken, rasta pasta, plantain. The pasta had no flavor, the jerk chicken skin was rubbery. I asked for jerk sauce on the side and didn't get it. The plantain where barely done. Yesterday I ordered curry chicken, rice and peas and I asked for salad. I didn't get salad, they gave me plantain (yuk) and the rice was burnt. The chicken was ok. Because it's Uber, no where to complain THAT'S IT, I'M DONE read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken - This is the curry chicken - Caribbean Near Me - New York, New York

Went back again and it didn't disappoint. The bowl packed in with good flavors to a point I'm sniffling and sweating because of the mild spicy flavor of the curry chicken meat so tender and the cabbage is cooked just right not hard....the rice and peas was so good well cooked not hard it's closer to my home cooking. I love how the vibes inside is chill and music playing good old school Jamaican music. I know i have choices to buy golden krust to get these food choices but I will choose Peppa's all the time 1st. This always hits my tastes different. Welp I will be back again and the staff are so sweet to speak with soft tone and take their time with how they serve the bowl....very good vibes read more

Kudos to whomever decorated the space. The Jamaican yardie-inspired decor, down to the barrel tables, adds to the comfortable and inviting feel. The music is also on point. The service was friendly and fast. Jerk pasta with oxtails was fire! The oxtails were well-seasoned and tender. I'll be back the next time I am in the area. read more

The food is "mid" at best. I absolutely love Jamaican food and tried this Peppa's but was extremely disappointed. This place is literally around the opposite side of the block as Katz's Deli. They seem to have strong delivery presence and likely to people in the area who are not true connoisseurs of the cusisne. Aslo the person behind the counter could have shown a more customer friendly attitude. That aside, and just going by the food, there would never be a reason for me to return here. read more

I have been coming here for years and must express my frustration at how the quality of the food is inconsistent and trending downward. I recently ordered too large jerk chicken (it is in the name) meals and was disappointed. The chicken was dry to the point of being inedible. I couldn't even finish it. How do you dry our dark meat? I am at a loss. read more

This location is very small, but has a really cute and colorful aesthetic. I didn't get a chance to take pictures, but the decor is eye catching and reflective of Jamaica. The glass top barrel tables are really cute, but let me move along to the service which is not the traditional waiter situation, but the staff are pretty helpful and pleasant. It was late so they were out of some things, but I was satisfied with my meal, but just wish that my bowl of "Rasta" pasta had more pasta to even out the ratio of protein, which I seem to have more of. I will return to try other dishes. read more

Amazing food and service ! I felt like I was at an off resort party when I took a sip of my rum punch. IYKYK read more

Ordered a oxtail to share with me and my son. worst oxtail I've ever had, no seasoning at all even my son that loves oxtail did not want to continue to eat it. I did not even finish the meal, just threw it away. If you want oxtail with no seasoning, this place is for you, but if your a Jamaican or someone that loves Jamaican food, that knows how oxtail taste, this is not for you. Do not order from Peppa's. read more

I ordered Mac n cheese and jerk pork. first off it's not jerk pork without jerk seasoning. the pork wasn't seasoned at all. secondly Mac n Cheese Caribbean style suppose to be backed in an oven not stove top prepared with a lot of white cheese as if it was pasta. thirdly I didn't get my plantains I paid for. very very unsatisfying food and for a "CARIBBEAN RESTAURANT" this isn't a good representation of Authentic Caribbean food plus portion side is not even enough for one person. So so upset. read more

I had this delicious taste in my mind from eating something here from 2 years ago so when I ate today it was not the same. It wasn't the same chicken but definitely the Mac/cheese wasn't the best for me but I was alright. The beverages was decent, had light strawberry taste and mango taste since it was a lemonade idea, lots of sugar to make it sweet so it felt like cool aid concept. The jerk wings did not give jerk seasoning like a typical jerk and definitely was not spicy. $32 worth filled me up alright but definitely didn't feel too worth the price as I did not enjoy it that much. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken Was surfing down Lower manhattan one day and saw this place was packed with people ordering so decided to give it a try on the following week at around 5pm and there was no wait. Glad to see a new addition of flavor in the neighborhood. You order with the cashier, pay for your food, and step to the side as they prep and prepare your take away bag. We order, Jerk Chicken with Rice Platter From "Di Yard" section of the menu. It was $12 for Jerk Chicken alone and we needed a side so we got the rice, plantains, cabbage extra $5. Added bbq sauce to our platter. Jerk chicken have a lot of flavor and the meat comes off naturally from the bone. Jerk Pork $13.50 with Mac and cheese $5. The pork was flavorful too. I like how there are some fat to the meat. Mac and cheese was great too. Both were generous portion size. read more

Really excited to have a casual, counter service style Jamaican restaurant here in the heart of LES. I was only familiar with the nearby Omar's for Caribbean food, but it's more upscale and I'm glad there's another (slightly more affordable) option in the area now. Tonight I got to try the "world famous" jerk chicken and the oxtail. The flavors and sauce were definitely there for the jerk chicken, but the chicken itself was a little disappointing - somewhat dry and hard/overcooked. The oxtail, however, was fire. I'd recommend that over the chicken for sure. Both meats went perfectly well with the rice and peas and cabbage. The portions are HUGE so it's well worth the price. I'm curious about the plantains and the jerk wings - hopefully those are better than the chicken platter. read more

Big Up to Peppa's being in manhattan. I used to go to the original store when I stayed in Brooklyn so I'm glad to see a stable like this make its way to the city. Overall the space is pretty small but I would recommend it for a quick bite with friend and even a small date night. But you can definitely come here to get food to go. They also serves drink. I had the peace margarita and ohhhweeee. The service was great. No complaints here. I had the oxtail and peppa Mac which is a special take on Rasta pasta. I would definitely stop by again if I'm near the area read more

Order jerk chicken rice and peas meal....the whole meal had ZERO flavor.

Just tried to eat here for the first time, and since I was close I thought I'd order in the store. The total I was given was higher than the order online total. When I asked, the girl told me the app was cheaper. I then stood at the counter for 30 minutes trying to get DoorDash to accept my order. First it said the store was closed. Then after downloading the app and choosing a later time when it said the store I was in would be open, it kept sending me codes that it said were wrong when I entered them. Yes I checked them. All the while this girl is standing there watching me struggle and then told me this is the menu if you wanna order and pay more. It would have taken me less time to eat than I spent there only to leave with nothing, which she seemed ok with. So first and last time. Train your staff to do more than work the register Peppa! read more

the sides were the main star. that shouldnt happen at a restaurant. the jerk chicken was dry with no actual spice. somehow the fried chicken was also dry. thats cooked in oil. how do you do that. the veggies was actually the best jamaican veggies ive ever had which is saying something cause boiled greens is not good. the rum punch wasnt actually blended. it was just a shot. maybe two. on top of red 40 fruit punch slushy. it was the end of the night so maybe its better when its not the last batch. but i wouldnt expect much. i guess at the end of the day this is what i get for choosing a chain. read more

When I heard they opened up a LES location I was very excited to come and get my jamaican craving in. I've been wanting to go to the Brooklyn location for awhile to try it and I've heard great things about this place. I asked the lady in the front some questions and wanted just a plate of jerk chicken with some rice and peas and vegetables as well as a side of plantains. When she rung me up, she charged me $23 which shocked me because I thought that was expensive for what I wanted. I confirmed with her what I wanted and she repeated exactly what I said. She asked me what sauces I wanted and said jerk sauce. Oh and she also gave me a receipt and said to listen for the number on the top left when they call your order. So then I waited for about 15 mins while other people behind me got their food first and when I finally saw the other lady pack the order- I walked up to pick it up. She yelled "rice and peas and salad and chicken" and I asked her if it was number 101. She gave me an attitude and said "i don't know, whatever the order is". I Showed her the receipt and she just shoved the food in my face as I said "thank you and have a nice day" with no reply. When I went home finally excited to eat my food, I opened it up and found two orders (one was just plantain and rice and salad). I mean come on, who orders just rice and salad and plantains? Obviously I wanted that in one order with the jerk chicken smh. Then I realized the worst part, she forgot all the sauce. So now I'm sitting here eating sauceless chicken and enough rice to fill China. Thanks pep pas for a wonderful night. read more

Unfortunately food has no flavor. Wasn't good at all. They ran out of oxtails and curry goat by 1p.m.

Now I found this place while looking for black owned restaurants in NY and then it was also recommended by a friend. It was delicious. I gave 4/5 because the chicken wings were a little bit cold and the peppers in the Mac and cheese was a weird taste to me. The rum punch was delicious and definitely packed a punch. The jerk sauce was to die for- I like it hot and it definitely fulfilled my expectations. If I was to return, I would get the jerk chicken instead of the wings but other than that thoroughly enjoyed. Would return! read more

Off day? I dined in yesterday evening. Ordered curry goat, they were out of that. I then asked about oxtails, they were out of that too. Sigh. Ok, I thought I couldn't go wrong with jerk chicken... but it was the driest chicken I've ever had (inside and outside) and lacked punch and flavor. Beans and rice were dry too. All were difficult to eat with the flimsy plastic fork provided (they had no knives either). I was disappointed. Service was ok. read more

My boyfriend and I have always been HUGE fans of Caribbean cuisine, but have unfortunately never been able to satisfy our craving in the neighborhood. That's why we were SO happy to welcome Peppa's Jerk Chicken to the Lower East Side and we were even happier to find that it served allllllll the delicious Caribbean foods we love so much. We both got the Oxtail which we ordered with rice and peas and a side of cabbage and plantains. The oxtail was super juicy and tender and smothered in the most amazing broth. The people at Peppa's made sure that very same broth was doused over the rice and peas, which made it all the more tasty. The plantains and the cabbage were also good, but it was truly the oxtail that was the star. It was really just *that* amazing. Thank you Peppa's for FINALLY bringing some delicious Caribbean food to our hood! Can't wait to try your jerk chicken next time. read more

Finally, lower Manhattan has a jerk chicken spot with legit FESTIVALS! Love that sweet bread when it's done right. Great menu options. Great sauce variety. I'm used to being able to pour on the bbq sauce myself at the spots in Prospect Lefferts Gardens/Crown Heights, but it's cool--they just tell you when to tell them to stop pouring it.

After getting my nails done I decided to stop around delancy to get something to eat. A bunch of places (to my unfortune was packed) but for some reason, NOT this place (BIG MISTAKE!!!) I came in and read the menu only to discover they also sell drinks. I bought the blue Hawaiian and the jerk pork (I was given an EXTRA helping) (I'm starting to think I'm highly favored) anyway, from the first sip of the drink I immediately felt my stress melt away and at the first bite of jerk pork, I knew I had made the BEST decision all week. Ambience? BOMB. They had good tunes and the lady at the counter was SO pleasant even the cook was laid back and wonderful! I hope people start appreciating this rare gem, but if not, I'll gate keep! Food was reasonably priced and the drink was strong! read more

if you like more bone than chicken, this is your spot :p objectively speaking, the food was pretty mid but you could just tell that there's a lot of potential. the Brooklyn location executes a lot better imo but I have hope that this location can step up their game. our food included jerk chicken, oxtails, rice, plantains, and pasta and everything was like on the cusp of being good at the very least but it just tasted sloppy, if that makes any sense. don't know if I would recommend, but it could've just been an off day!! read more

Man! This is a great place that sets the mood from the start. My guest and I decided to roll through looking for some good Jamaican food. We love the flavor. This visit did not disappoint. The staff was cool, not too engaging, but also they didn't wander aimlessly. The aesthetic makes you feel like you are in "yard" digs, from the barrel tables with glass to the live stream visual of Jamaica Mon, pon the screen. The selections are traditional yard dishes with great, and I do mean great seasoning. Many talk a good game, but don't step it up. I had the jerk chicken platter with rice and peas and cabbage. The key with the rice and peas is that it has to be just as well as seasoned as everything else. IT WAS! Every individual grain and bean. Fiya! The chicken was good. I only say that because some spots were missed and inedible. Maybe about several. Too hard and not seasoned enough to tolerate. I KNOW GOOD JERK OUTSIDE DRUM CHICKEN. (Shout-out to my experiences on Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn) The cabbage was cool but not enough, and the place could use some more dessert options. The sorrel was on point. I should've ordered the large. My guest has the oxtail with Mac and cheese and was in heaven! The Mac and cheese had a great cheesy pull with good consistency. The oxtail, as was told to me, was tender and flavorful. It did need more peppers and a slight more braise to it, but it was tasty. The gravy was good. It will be a place I go to as often as I can because it is clean, decent, and authentic. Grab a huge plate mon! read more
