The only jerk chicken spot I feel confident in in Manhattan is Simply Natural Grill, but that dude only comes out in the Spring/Summer as he brings his grill out on the street and does God's work. I did my best to crowdsource a good jerk chicken rec from my Instagram story, and the overwhelming favorite was Peppa's Jerk Chicken. We took the bus up to 28th street, and arrived at what felt like the promised land for a jerk chicken plate: Bob Marley on a Jamaican flag, tin wall panels spray painted with scenery of the homeland, employees slightly rude with thick Jamaican accents, etc. We both got jerk chicken plates with rice & peas and plantains. I was beyond hopeful to have a new year round jerk chicken spot. However, my hopes were stabbed in the heart when I took one bite of the plantains. These were legitimately the worst plantains I've ever had. I couldn't even believe they served us these. The plastic fork couldn't even penetrate the surface of the fried banana, they must have been sitting for DAYS. I wish they just told us they were out of plantains. The jerk chicken and rice & peas were actually really good, but plantain-gate just left a bad taste in my mouth. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

This place has very delicious jerk chicken with rice peas and salad all for $12 ( small ) . It was more than enough food for me ! The chicken was spicy just how I like it ! The BBQ sauce was tasty and really made the dish even better than I expected. The place is small kind of like a grab and go type spot but that will not stop me from coming g back ! The service was very fast and to the Point. I actually want more Peppa right now !!!!! Yummy P.s I couldn't take a photo because I ate it all way to fast ! read more

Was craving some island food so I happened to see this while in the area. I ordered the oxtail with Rasta pasta, oxtail with white rice, curry chicken with white rice and a small order of the jerk chicken. The food was mid. It was just ok. The oxtail were the smaller pieces of the tail and none of the big meaty pieces, just the small end of the tail. Flavors was a bit lacking but edible. The curry chicken was eh. I had better at Golden Krust and that ain't saying much. The only saving grace was the jerk chicken. It was meaty and tasty. Be sure to get both BBQ sauce and the jerk sauce. The service was poor. They were on Jamaican time. IYKYK. Took them almost 10 mins to get my order with no one else in the restaurant. Had to repeat my order like 6x until they got around to hear me when they weren't talking to each other. I don't think I will ever come back to this place. Service and food were not good and I don't even know how they stay in business when talking and joking with each other comes first before customers. read more

Food is good, I like the Rasta pasta with oxtail and the curry chicken is very good. On a nice cool day the chicken soup does warm you up just the right amount of pepper. It does get crowded around lunch time, it's best to order to pick up if you don't want to wait read more

If you like white meat, this is the place. Out of all the Peppas I've been to, this was the least juicy. I ordered the large plate (all chicken) and you would think there would be all types of cuts - nope. Maybe I look like the type to like white meat. I give them the extra stars because service was fast and their sauces are pretty good. Not much of a sit down, just come in, order and leave. read more

Big fan of Peppas in Brooklyn so I went here for a quick takeout dinner since I live within walking distance. Generally speaking, the food from Caribbean restaurants has an inverse correlation with great customer service- iykyk. I can deal with it, but I simply cannot deal with dry chicken and certain menu items at 5pm. The extra kicker was, there were no plantains or cabbage SMDH. read more

11/06/23: New location around the job area. Decided to check them out. Basically small store front take out pick up. There's like 4 stools by a counter if you wanted to "dine" in. Ordered small oxtail with pasta. Yikes I guess their rent is high. I know oxtail has become pricey but it was a steep price for a small order. $22.58 that's about the price of a large in Brooklyn. It was good. Not the best I've had but definitely not the worse. For take out it did its job. One take away for such a small enclosed space the music is way too loud! read more

I've been eating jerk chicken all my life and I am offended and disgusted by this that I was given. This is some kind of grilled chicken with some vinegar hot sauce on it. This is not jerk chicken. It was absolutely disgusting. I could not get past the vinegar taste. There's nothing about it that jerk.. i'm not sure if they're selling this mock jerk chicken in this way because it's Manhattan, but it's really offensive to sell this to people and try to pass it off at jerk chicken. read more

Not a fan of the oxtail from here. You will either get some of the most tender juicy oxtail you've ever had or the most tough and dry tasting oxtail. Not worth the risk given oxtail is not cheap. The rice is also inconsistent - either really dry/stale or fresh and tasty. Just not worth the risk ordering from given the inconsistency. read more

I personally can't understand why Peppas doesn't have 5 stats across the board! I go there at least twice a week to get my Mac and cheese, jerk chicken and patties. The oxtail is delicious and often times I get my filet fish, which is seasoned to perfection and tender. The staff is very sweet and they get to know you and they make you feel at home!

I have had their jerked chicken platter delivered several times and each time found the chicken plentiful and spiced just right. The rice and beans accompanying the chicken was flavorful. I could do without the plantains which I thought were on the dry side but that was incidental to a very good dinner that was the real thing at a bargain price. read more

I was the first order for the end of the year (12/31/24). I spent over $120 dollars on 2 transactions. I'd order 2 beef patties, 1 jerk, 1 spinach, and 1 veggie a total of 5 patties at $4. I only received 4 patties...missing a beef patty. I should have checked the bag before leaving. However, I was on the phone and the woman that took my order was looking at the receipt getting the patties. How can you get it wrong or ever forget a patty...when you are looking at the receipt. Make a long story short I only received 4 patties, and I'd tried calling the Peppas Jerk at 718-757-9756 @ 12:16pm and no one answered. If someone answered the phone, then I would not have left this review. I was the first order (you are looking at the receipt) there was no way to get is wrong or forget so I'm led to believe it was intentional. Ever way bad business. read more

My son has been ordering food from Peppas for a few months and is always telling me about it. I came to visit and finally got to experience it myself. Over. The. Top. Amazing. Everyone was friendly and the service was excellent. We decided to eat the side counter instead of taking it home. So glad we did because the music created the perfect vibe to enjoy our meal. The food was heavenly with deep flavors. I made a promise to myself to eat there every time I'm in town. Today was jerk chicken. Next time I'm going for Curry Goat, and after that, the Ox Tail. read more

This beloved institution just opened on my block and I've been waiting for months so was eager to try it. So was the rest of the neighborhood as there was a line out the door. They just opened and given the demand didn't quite have the system of ordering and picking things up down yet, but all the staff were friendly and helpful. Expect some delays for now. I love Jamaican food but there are few authentic places to get it in Manhattan so I decided to try this out with a classic order: jerk chicken dinner with rice and peas and side salad. What I got was a packed - and I mean packed - tin full of about half a chicken chopped into various sized pieces and a heap of smokey rice and peas. This was more than enough for two meals! The chicken was tender and juicy and full of heat. Bone sucking good! The rice also had a smokey flavor with added curry sauce. Very complex and unusual flavors. I'm sure Jamaican food experts will have more nuanced reviews of this but suffice to say my belly was full and I was extremely happy after I devoured a huge helping. Can't wait to go back and try more things. Please note this is strictly a take out place. There is NO place to sit and given the small size of the place and it's popularity even standing against the one small counter is not possible. I'll be glad when they get things down and I can just order from Grub Hub. read more

It was my second visit at the restaurant because I loved their curry goat on my first visit. I came in for an early lunch with my daughter and ordered a curry goat for myself and a jerk chicken for my daughter. We also ordered the patties 2 jerk Pattie and 1 beef and 1 curry chicken Pattie. My total came up to 50 plus dollars (no problem paying for what I enjoy) but when I asked if I can have oxtail gravy on my rice and peas the dark skinned girl with the black bonnet made a face like it was a problem so then I asked her if that was ok she said it was fine. Food great, establishment clean, but don't ever make me feel like MY CHOICES which I'm PAYING FOR does not sit well with you. I hope she sees this review and checks her attitude!

The flavors aren't so bad overall and if you have a pasta itch it'll scratch. But I've tried other places better at a similar or even cheaper price point with protein added in. I got the "some like it hot" while my friend got "midnight desire" with burrata added in. I paid about 22 for each dish. Now for my thoughts - flavor for "some like it hot" was not bad, sauce was a slight bit watery for my liking. The spice was nice and I liked that part the most. Pasta was "OK". The ravioli was stuck together for some, filling was adequate but, I would've liked a little more. I don't want to sound harsh, but it was all around just an ok spot. Maybe it was just that day. Burrata added is nice, I took mine to go do sadly it was melted on top (recommend to pack the burrata separately for to go orders) - "midnight desire" is basically vodka and the flavor for this one was kind of odd for me. Not the normal vodka I am used to. I personally wouldn't really get it again. It wasn't a bad sauce, just not like vodka I know. Had a slight "bitter(?)" aftertaste from some seasoning I guess. I'm not a pasta connoisseur but I AM Italian and I've tasted a wide ranger of pastas lol-- I think yummy cheese pasta in Hell's Kitchen offers a similar concept, portion but is more filling, diverse options for adding and overall, slightly cheaper.

Another is, if an establishment has a lot of open reservation slots on Friday night that falls on a three day weekend. This is one of those places. The space is beautiful and large, with lots of room for large parties and the wood fired pizza with broccoli rabe cream, mushrooms and sliced potatoes was great. That's about where it ends. Had the most expensive and worst tiramisu of my life here ($16 dollars for something served in a glass!) and it was honestly downhill from the first $22 mediocre cocktail. I 100% do not object to paying $22 for a cocktail but I'm expecting it to be good. Just live with the possible ambiguity and suspense of possibly not having a reservation on a Friday night. On the bright side, this would be a good place to bring a large party of over 10 people as long as you stick to the pizzas.

I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but the Salted Brown Butter Oat Latte is 100% worth the wait!…read more My friend and I stopped by at around 11am on a Sunday and there was around a 20 minute wait. The line moves really fast and is only for the brown butter drink. The coffee was so incredibly creamy and had the perfect balance between sweet and salty. Highly recommend!

Came all the way here after seeing the hype online, only to discover the line was longer than my…read morepatience and they had exactly one drink available. ONE. At that point, it felt less like a menu and more like a surprise challenge. To be fair, the drink was actually good, and the café is undeniably cute. The aesthetic is working overtime. But standing in line forever just to be told most of the menu is unavailable? That's a bold business strategy. Would I come back? Maybe... after checking if they have more than one option and bringing a camping chair for the line.

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

If you're feeding more than 5 people, recommend getting some bagels and separate cream cheese and save yourself the wait.

Hamburger America

Hamburger 'MURICA!…read more When we want a no-frills, affordable NYC smashburger instead of a fancy viral one, we have two go-to spots. While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience. They offer actual tables and chairs, free soda refills, and a flawless mid-century Americana vibe (think retro counter, chrome accents, and vinyl floors). Plus, they feature rotating regional specials. The Wisconsin is bathed in butter. The Mississippi is breadcrumbed and deep-fried. The Lansing features Michigan olive mayo. The Salt Lake City is married to three separate onion burgers. The Waco is burned to a crisp. OK, those last two are made up.

The ambience - very very old school hamburger joint vibes; surprised there were no servers on rollerskates inside lol. But very fun. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the fried onion burger and a side of slaw. The slaw...while having good flavor (I think a kick of mustard), was just drowning in watery mayo. But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!

I have been here twice and adored it both times. They have the best drink menu with both NA and alcoholic options. I love their marinated olives, arancini, and parmesan (with honey and black pepper!). My favorite pizza is the burriza, which has burrata/pesto/tomatoes/balsamic and is SO GOOD! I highly recommend getting the calabrian chili honey as well to dip the pizza in. I think their pasta portions are on the smaller side, so I would stick with pizza! They have a huge variety (both round and square), so everyone will find one that they love. Zach (the manager) is so lovely as well, you can tell there is so much heart put into Parla. I will certainly be back!
