My guy loves this place and has been going since he was a kid, so every time we're back in the city it's a must. The chicken is always super flavorful and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a go-to spot for us! read more

I will never complain about the food here, even if you run the risk of it selling out. My gripe is with the staff. My Jamaican friend tells me the spirit you encounter here is typical Jamaican, and they won't see a need to change cuz your average Jamaican is used to it. Ain't that some ish? Anyhoo, I could probably eat here more often than I do, but I find myself hesitating to go because of the rude and rough service. I have NEVER seen a single soul smile there. BTW, the people just North at Errol's are ALWAYS nice, so I ain't buying that typical Jamaican argument. Peppa's is y'all need a dildo to cheer up, let me know. I have several unused, and I can smear jerk spice on them just for your pleasure. Smooches!!! read more

First of all, they don't grill the chicken they put on top of inside commercial stove If you don't see a grill outside it's not jerk chicken. Haven't eaten in a long time. The price is phenomenal pricey for that spot hole in wall s. The line was long, but it went quickly. The place is old. Nothing updating like a shaggy shack in Jamaica. jerk sauce I could've bought it from the supermarket.Taste better. Fish was kind of dry The onions and peppers was not nothing spectacular when I go back again. No, I think I could do a better job myself. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken Restaurant - Over $10 fish with some onions and peppers just taste like a little vinegar to me - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Straight hole in the wall Jamaican take out spot. The place was run down and in dire need of a complete makeover. Looked a bit on the dirty side but that's just from the waiting,/ordering area. Maybe the kitchen is very clean. The lady that took orders was pleasant. The prices here are real decent. $10-14 bucks for a plate of food. Decent portions. The food was solid. read more

I was visiting from California and we decided to eat some Jamaican food. The food was delicious, large portion and friendly staff.

I liked the two sauces offered. Takeaway only. Had the curry goat + jerk chicken. Tore them both up. Solid choice and large portions. read more

It's really crazy to see how peppas have fell off. I ordered jerk chicken today. It was jerk chicken out the pan not off the grill with pimento. 4//10 wouldn't recommend they have fell off. There's jerk chicken that's better all over Flatbush read more

i haven't been back recently, but the taste memory persists. Service stood out with imaginatively prepared dishes. I plan to come back - the ambiance was relaxed and service was great. The staff exhibits real friendliness. I want this restaurant to become established. read more

Food is always fresh. The jerk chicken is SO GOOD!! Festival hits the spot every time. It's a very small space, so pack your patience. There may be a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. Also, bring your bills. It's CASH ONLY!! read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken Restaurant - Festival - so good :) - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A cash only establishment. There is an ATM in the lobby. I eat here a few times a month because its very good and tastes like home. The meat is where it is at. I rarely get the sides but the mac and cheese is decent. My favorite is the fried porgy and festival. The jerk chicken is flavorful but make sure you ask for it to be well done if you like the skin crispy. The pepper shrimp has been hit or miss because sometimes the shrimp is too soft but the flavor and spice is spot on. Price and portion size is fair. The place is small and you have to pay attention when you order. There is no number or name system when ordering. You order on the right side of the counter and pay/pick up food on on the left side of the counter. read more

Ate here two weeks in a row- that good. Delicious!!! Food tasted fresh. Small place but my party of 4 ate there comfortably and the customer service was excellent. Cleaned the plate so no pictures posted. Maybe next time. read more

They are selling food from the previous day , bought some chicken , it was dry and rubbery , they just reheat it on the grill ....

One of my go to spots when in NYC , was disappointed at how dry the chicken was .No veggies on my jerk dinner .Costumer service was ok .

The quality has gone downhill, you can't just heat up yesterdays chicken & be ok with it.The Chicken was hard as a brick,I had to throw most of it away and it cost to much to be wasted.If it looks dry...it is, reheated Chicken from yesterday just doesn't cut it.It has to be some Food Observation if you want people to keep coming back.I have never had a problem with the service though, they are usually nice.I probably won't be back cause like I said it's too much money to be wasted on garbage. read more

A neighborhood staple. This isn't about ambience and the service definitely gives "Jamaican restaurant" lol. The food is undeniable. Best Jerk chicken and festival hands down! read more

I have been sleeping on Peppa! Seriously. I pass by quite often, see the line and think o wow that place must be good. But I am not a line person if there are other options. Finally a few weeks ago there was not much of a line (just 3 people before us.) I had to get the jerk chicken dinner. For $15 bucks the plate was HUGE. We tipped $5 because it feels like it should be worth more. The food was so delicious and the jerk chicken was even better than the one I had in Jamaica. I can't even describe it. Just listen when I say don't sleep on it. Go to Peppa's. read more

Peppa! Where have you been all my life? I can't believe how good your jerk chicken is. Delicious. I couldn't stop licking my fingers after each bite. The cashier/server has a system. You tell him your order. He writes it down then he tells you to move to the left. When it's your turn, he asks you bbq or hot sauce. Then he quotes you the price while he puts your order in a bag. He knows how to wrap it up. There is aluminum foil around the box. Here is a word of advice. This is not picnic friendly food. You need wet napkins. It gets messy. read more

You really have to be down bad to eat here. This place is somewhere you eat after a night of drinking and partying. I had just got off a long trip and wanted late night food. Got home, took one bite and spit it out. Waste of money. Never again. The jerk sauce was delicious. Rice taste old. Chicken was hard and burnt. read more

Don't be fooled by my picture. I paid $11 for this chicken. Not worth the price. Go to spot because you know what you're getting but the problem is the quality has gone down and the price of prices have gone up. Great late nights when you're hungry and want something other than fast food. But the problem is you'll wait on a long line. read more

TL;DR Review // Top (3) Things You Need to Know 1. The Jerk Chicken is Amazing! 2. There's more than likely a line / you'll be waiting. 3. Used to be open for late night munchies (uncertain now due to Covid-19) Longer Review: Food: 5/5 - The jerk chicken is authentic and delicious. The sweet sweet poultry meat is packed with smokey flavor in each bite. - Add more jerk hot sauce or BBQ to your liking at the counter. - The other food I've tried there (festival and fish) was delicious as well. Value: 5/5 - Decent / on-par with the comparable options in the neighborhood - Large jerk chicken costs $14 and easily feeds 2-3 people or 1 me w/ some leftovers. Service: 4/5 - Service is similar to all authentic Caribbean restaurants - Straight and to the point. Wait in line. Say what you want. Pay. Enjoy. Atmosphere: 4/5 - There's no dine-in, take-out only. It's a small spot. - Nostalgic 90s / early 2020 Flatbush restaurant vibe. Not really updated like some new establishments but they put out solid food and that's that maters. Location: 4/5 - Flatbush Ave - Caribbean Mecca in Brooklyn - Tons of other stores all around Peppa's so you can grab a bite after running errands and such. read more

Very nice jerk chicken not too spicy and filled with flavor. They also have great festivals.

SINCE COVID: Service has really been bad. Expect to wait 20-30 mins for even simple orders. Portions are inconsistent. The BEST jerk chicken outside of Jamaica. Thats it. Thats all you need to know. The other stuff is good but the Jerk Chicken doesnt get any better. Cash only. Open past 3am Friday and Saturday. read more

I'm never going to say anything bad about Peppa's. If you're in Brooklyn and craving real jerk chicken this is the place to go. The service is going to give you a true jamaican experience. Don't expect too much with customer service but DO expect the food to be absolutely tasty. read more

Highly recommend. When you walk into a place and know the chicken is bouta hit...this is one of those places. Flavor was on point. Great service and the chicken fell off the bone. Mix the spicy jerk sauce and the bbq together for the chicken and you won't be disappointed. read more

I went to this place today Sunday September 22nd around 5.30pm. I walked in and no one assisted me after standing there for like ten minutes. The people in this restaurant are very disrespectful especially the black ball headed one that looks old I mistaken her for a man. I walked out of the restaurant with my money and told her I am not begging you for your food I was purchasing it I left the food right there. Some of these restaurants we need better customer service read more

Whenever I'm craving jerk chicken, this is my go-to spot. The jerk chicken is amazing and as close to authentic Jamaican as you can get. It's not too spicy but has just the right amount of heat to enhance the flavor. While the atmosphere and staff could be a bit friendlier, the food is excellent. If you love Jamaican cuisine and jerk chicken, this is definitely the place to check out. read more

Jerked chicken and rice and peas was dry. Drove all the way from New Jersey to get some authentic Jamaican food. Disappointed.

The location on Flatbush ave is the best. Open 24 hours and the jerk chicken and festival does not disappoint.

BRUH. I've been going to this spot for 10 years and they NEVER miss. I mainly order the jerk chicken with jerk sauce and barbecue sauce, sometimes the corn, the lemonade and it is consistently GOODT. Yes, with a T on the end for tasty. Will always be a peppa's fan... even when the line is out the door! read more

Ordered lunch at Peppa's Jerk Chicken Restaurant on Saturday afternoon. The food is not nearly good enough to overcome the poor service. Quality: Looking at pictures and hearing excellent things I was excited for the Jerk Chicken Dinner, but left very disappointed. The chicken was okay at best, lots of skin, but not a lot of meat. What was there was juicy and tender, but I must have picked the wrong sauce as barbecue overwhelmed any jerk flavor. The rice and beans and salad were fine for a pairing, but the proportions were way off. The Lemonade was probably the highlight of the meal, loved how they were able to soften the citrus. Quantity: A good sized platter, but mostly rice and beans. Chicken looks deceiving as there is not a lot of meat. Value: $15 for a Large Jerk Chicken Dinner. $4 for Lemonade. Ambiance: Peppa's Jerk Chicken Restaurant is located just south of Prospect Park. They have a small shop that is take-out only. They have space for a few tables and chairs inside, but it is used as a waiting area. It is a loud space as the kitchen noises fill the room. No seating outside, but you can head a few blocks to the park. Crowd: Always a few people waiting for food. Service: No interest in quality customer service, for new guests or regulars. They got both orders in front of me wrong, and shrugged when the other guests pointed it out. Having never been there before, they let me stand in the wrong spot for five minutes before another guest said I was waiting to order on the wrong side of the counter. I got no answer when I asked how much my meal cost nor when I asked what the sauce options were. Parking: Some street parking in the area. read more

Another covid-era delivery review... Let me start by saying that jerk chicken, of all the different chicken dishes, isn't in my top 10. Like it... but don't yearn for it (know what I mean). That said, when I'm in the mood, Peppa's is pretty high up on or list. To be honest, I prefer their oxtail and curry stews more than their chicken. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that we've ordered here multiple times before and have, only occasionally, noticed some inconsistencies. But generally the food is pretty good. A solid contender for the genre... read more

The customer service at this Peppas location is not so good compared to the Crown Heights location. Don't expect friendly service here. However, they make up for it with their jerk, which is some of the best and most authentic in the area. Be prepared to wait on a long line outside. Due to covid, they only allow 4 people inside at a time. read more

Been coming here for 10 years, service has really declined dramatically. I had a very simple order and came at a not so busy time, yet did not get oxtail gravy and very clearly ordered festival then didn't receive it. We paid $3 tip and this is what we get. Last few times I went last year, portion sizes were way smaller barely got any rice and I never complain about too little rice read more

People will tell you if you want the best, you have to go to the original spot and they would be correct. After visiting all three locations, this is the conclusion I have come to. The lady behind the counter was friendly, patient and made sure we got juicy, fresh and flavorful chicken (and festival) packed to the brim. We ate from the containers for a day or two from the $9 medium. Beware of the jerk sauce, it is VERY HOT and I eat spicy food often. The bbq sauce is tangy and a little smoky Good thing is it also has good flavor so it doesn't simply burn your mouth and leave your tastebuds destroyed. The food quality and flavor is superior to the other locations by far. Parking can sometimes be rough so make sure you get a good spot and be prepared for a bit of a wait, it is always busy. We will see you again, Peppa's. read more

Peppa's Jerk Chicken Restaurant - Cooking that chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The 3 is a average of the food and service. Food is a 4 and service is a 1. I usually get the escovitch fish and it is always so good. I sometimes get mac n cheese and festival which is good too. However the service is so bad. They act as if your bothering them for being there. Each time has been sub bar service once there was a rude guy up front, another time a rude lady and this last time their was a girl on her phone the entire time completely ignoring. I had to say uh hello anyone want to take my order. read more

The lines are so long cause of covid but the food is good. The jerk chicken is always good and the festival and escovitch fish is good too. Do not get the pepper shrimp. Its not properly cleaned and deveined. It wasn't mushy but it was dirty and shouldn't be served like that. Escovitch fish is usually good. Well seasoned. Jerk chicken is the highlight. The best jerk chicken I have had so far in Brooklyn. The festival is good as well. The stew chicken is bomb. Wish they have more stew chicken. It's cash only. Only four allowed in cause of covid. Lots of shady people around since they open late so watch your back, get your food and go. read more

The best jerk chicken around! The service is classic Caribbean/Flatbush. When I walk in here I know I am home. Don't expect a super warm greeting, they are always busy and people know shah they want when they walk in. Only complaint is that it's cash only but in this economy I can't blame them, just make sure you make a trip to the atm before stopping by. read more

This place has amazing CHICKEN but the organization and CUSTOMER SERVICE Is LOW QUALITY. They have no way of handling a RUSH of customers. They ask your order twice WHY? DUH write it down. We waited 45 minutes for TWO large pans of CHICKEN. Every person in the back looked miserable which made the wait very unpleasant. read more

If you want some real. Smoky. Juicy. Charred. Flavorful. Jerk chicken. Then you've arrived, my friend. I normal just get jerk chicken. A small jerk chicken is $6. This is authentic Jamaicans cooking in the kitchen. I normally come here when I'm hungry, not sure what to eat or after I've been drinking and I need a place that's open late where I can get a meal fast. I recommend getting the jerk sauce on the side. I've made the mistake of dowsing it all over and it was really spicy. So I recommend either trying it on a small area or just getting the barbecue sauce and the jerk sauce on the side. Unless you want to dance with the devil and you like things super spicy then by all means dowse that chicken in the sauce but if you prefer something milder or you want to taste the chicken to see the heat level then take my advice. I've had my mouth on fire quite a few times. Yet, I still managed to eat ever bit but the bone. It's a small place. Standing room only. Not an eat in place by any means. It's a grab-and-go type of joint. Happy eating. read more
