I'd always wanted to try The Pepper Pott and finally got the chance when their food truck came to my company. The long line in the summer heat told me everything I needed to know. It was worth the wait! Love: service (kind, fun-loving despite the heat), tropical plate (plantains, rice & peas, and chicken - all prepared perfectly), lemon pepper wings (fried well, bright lemon flavor, meaty) read more

I was honestly disappointed with my experience. I ordered food for an event after previously having this caterer at Vanderbilt events and really enjoying it, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, the food we received did not reflect that same quality. The chicken was extremely hard and dry, almost as if it had been over-fried, and the plantains were overcooked as well. For the price paid, the quality-to-cost ratio just did not feel appropriate. Multiple guests at my event also commented on the food quality, which was embarrassing given the expectations I had going into it. I'm sharing photos for context because I truly wanted this experience to go differently. I understand businesses can have off days, but I hope consistency and quality control can improve moving forward. I've also shared this feedback with the store and was reimbursed $59.17 of the $250 total purchase. read more

My friend and I tried their Salmon Sandwich from the food truck at the 12th South Farmers Market and we had NO words. My friend literally said that this sandwich was lifechanging. The salmon is super flavorful and moist and flaky (it doesn't come in a patty but rather just a pile of freshly cooked salmon). The pineapple and sweet chili sauce add a sweetness that pairs perfectly with the meat and with the sweet Hawaiian bun, and there is a nice kick of spice that rounds out the flavor. The only note we had was it would've been brought to the next level with some fresh cabbage slaw on top to add crunch and cut the heat a bit (not that it was too spicy). Would definitely try other options from this truck, and get that sandwich again for sure! Also, we paid with a $100 bill and they graciously gave us change for it so that was really sweet and accommodating of them! read more

Although technically not a restaurant (yet), they are my favorite place to eat in Nashville. They have a food truck and recently opened up counter service at Taylor Street collective. The flavor is unmatched, everything is consistently delicious. I always get the salmon sandwich or the lo mein and plantains. Their drinks are also good and refreshing! They also have some vegan/plant based options. And the family who owns it are so sweet, it makes you want to keep supporting them. read more

Recently learned the pepper pott was operating out of germantown and decided to give them a try. The location is a bit odd with a collective building but it's very convenient living nearby. The portions are very fair for the price and the flavor is robust. The oxtail may have been some of the best I've ever had from a flavor and meat to bone ratio. read more

Even though this review is out of date, I need to show some 5-star love. So, too, must I recognize that at the time of service/eating, there was (likely) no edges or wigs within a five mile radius of Citizen Kitchen because, thanks to TPP, they would have all been snatched. So, yes: as implied above, I know nothing about this place as a food truck. I came here on a lazy Saturday in early summer* in search of the latest Citizen Kitchen star. Experience has taught me that if a food concept is bubbling up in that shared kitchen in West Nashville, something good is soon and sure to be in your belly. Such was the case with TPP. I called ahead, made my order, drove west, and sat in the lot across from the kitchen. And, I sat. And, I sat a little more. It turns out, I had jacked up the ordering process. One of the fellows behind the Pott, came outside to talk to me, clarify what I wanted, and got back to the business of making some food dreams come true. He could have written me off. He didn't. Class all the way. Within an appropriate amount of my from my real order, he came back outside to give me a heavy bag of food and a bottle of sorrel. I broke all kinds of speed limits to get to my house to indulge. Ridiculous. The curry chicken (I don't know if it's still on the menu) was as spiced, seasoned, tender, and decadent as I'd *ever* had. The sorrel (despite being bottled) was homemade, spiced, flavorful, and magenta in color so it was a pleasure for more senses than just taste. Accompanying my protein was a generous amount of sauteed cabbage and a brick of 4-cheese mac & cheese. Honestly, I didn't know what to eat first and in what order. Everything was so good I, both, wanted to eat it all immediately and savor every bite. I think I went into a bit of a trance while eating. It's THAT good. Like I said, it's been a minute. I don't know if the menu is the same. I don't know if the recipes have changed. I don't know if the truck experience is that much different from the (sort of) brick and mortar. What I *can* tell you is that the food was fire and if you're just now finding out about TPP in 2023... you're late. I'm sorry. *A couple of years ago... read more

We stopped by the Pepper Pott Food Truck so we got a limited menu. I ordered the chicken Pineapple Bowl with a side of plantains. The chicken was moist with a nice spicy jerk seasoning and the plantains had delicious crispiness and a soft center. The food was so filling and was served in half a pineapple. Visit their website to find out the Food Truck schedule because it is worth checking out. read more

I've gotten food from the food truck many times and it's always great. I so accustomed to the food at a Caribbean place being great but the service just being ok. I have to say Pepper Pott is a breath of fresh air because not only is the food good but the service is amazing. There was an error with my order because of the ordering system the day I ordered and they corrected the issue with no excuses, promptly. I really appreciated that as I was looking forward to having the food. I would highly recommend the salmon sandwich, the Mac and cheese and the plantains. I like the rice and peas as well but recently it has been tasting different from the time I had it a couple of months ago. Was there a change to the rice or the recipe? Overall, you will not be disappointed read more

SO. FLAVORFUL. O.M.G. Heard about The Pepper Pott on Yelp and after seeing pictures on Instagram, I had to try it asap! Especially love that they have contactless ordering and curbside pickup! Super easy online ordering/payment and pick up was quick and ready when promised. Everything was neatly packed and the food was still warm by the time we drove back home to eat. There's no indoor seating, it's a takeaway set up, but we saw a few other patrons eating in their parked cars. Service was very friendly and the guy who helped us wore a mask. On our first trip, we ordered the jerk chicken and curry chicken. Both were excellent! Hubby described the jerk chicken as "fall off the bone." Our sides were fried plantains, 4 cheese baked mac, veggie fried rice and rice & peas. All were tasty, but the plantains were the standout for me. We also tried one each of the pastries: pine tart (pineapple filling), ground beef patty and 4 cheese roll. Again, all were delicious! They threw in a caribbean lemonade and sorrel (hibiscus tea) that were the perfect things to top off our meals! In addition to their standard menu, The Pepper Pott offers rotating specials, which are announced on their Instagram along with pictures to make your mouth water. Some of the specials have been jerk salmon, bake & salt fish and curry goat. Definitely give this family-run small business a try!! read more

On top of the perfect preparations of chicken, cabbage, mac, and all of the other sides like I mentioned in my previous review, you're going to want to try the oxtails. Just a wallop of flavor and so good. I've never had any better. Just try it. Try it all. You'll thank me. read more

Had this at the Nashville Black Market first Fridays and it was amazing. I got the 10 wings with rice and peas and seasoned cabbage. Simply amazing. Really decent portion sizes for the price. Quick service. If the food truck is nearby check them out. read more

Portion was ridiculously small, never seen such small portion size for the price. Had to go somewhere else to eat after having dinner here.

All around yum!! We got the salmon burger and mac n cheese. I'm usually disappointed by crinkle cut fries but even they were crispy and delicious. read more

Pepper Pott recently catered an event for our organization. There were roughly 30 people in attendance. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious, and everyone wanted to take anything that was left over home. We will definitely use them again and again. Thank you, Pepper Potts! read more

I seriously dream about the fried plantains from The Pepper Pott. Whatever entree you choose, do yourself a favor and add on fried plantains. Add an extra side, too. You will love them. I promise. Now, on to the rest of the meal. I've tried the jerk chicken, curry chicken, and oxtails, and they are all wonderful! You get very generous portions when you order a plate (plus you can choose plantains as one of your two sides when you get a plate), so that's my go-to! The rice and peas are also delicious and pair especially well with the oxtail and the curry. My last must-eat is the beef patty. Oh man. That thing is HEAVENLY (second only to the plantains). It's deliciously crispy, and when you bite in the filling is perfection. If you can handle heat, get the side of scotch bonnet sauce and slather that stuff on EVERYTHING. It's so good. They're in Citizen Kitchen which is basically a large industrial kitchen space that houses a few different restaurants, so if, like me, you walk up and you're confused, don't be! You're likely in the right place. Order for takeout on their website (no dine in). Weird pro tip: If you also order dumplings from Mama Yang & Daughter, who is also in Citizen Kitchen, dip their dumplings in The Pepper Pott's scotch bonnet sauce. It's an unexpected match made in heaven. read more

I'm in Nashville for the weekend and did a quick search of highly rated restaurants near my Airbnb. I was excited to see The Pepper Pott because I love Caribbean food. We visited their counter around 5:45 pm and met the nicest guy ever working this evening. He was friendly and engaging, even took time to explain how a bell works to my son. I had orders for a couple of people and he was helpful in recommending sides and items. The food took about 25 minutes but we walked around and checked out the space they are in. Our food was packaged well to go with utensils, napkins, and sauces. I so appreciate when restaurants pack your order well. Now on the food.. I had the salmon, cilantro rice, cabbage, plantains, lo mein, and wings. Yes a lot of food but I wanted to try things! The food was delicious specially the salmon! Highly recommend. The cabbage was perfectly sautéed and the plantains are delicious. I was so happy with my meal and wish there was a Pepper Pot in my area. Big blessings to the owners for continued success read more

Food trucks can be hit or miss, but I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered food from The Pepper Pott food truck. I heard someone in line saying he always has a hard time recommending something to eat off their menu because all of their food is so good. He was probably right. I ordered the Rasta Pasta with Chicken and a side of Plantains...and baby...it was delicious! And I'm thinking the chicken was going to be mixed in with the pasta...no...they topped the pasta with juicy smoked wings. And the plantains were soft and moist and little crispy on the ends just like I like them. The pictures of the food don't do it justice. I have started following them online because I'm going to need some more of this food! read more

I've never really had Guyanese food before. I came across The Pepper Pott on Instagram and tried them for the first time a couple of weeks ago when they were in Antioch. At first I got the sweet and spicy wings. The guy that took my order was nice enough to throw in a free plate of the curry chicken. The wings were so good to my boyfriend that he asked me to go back and get the lemon pepper jerk wings to try lol. The lemon pepper jerk wings were alright. They needed a little more seasoning. But the sweet and spicy wings were delicious. Definitely in my top 5 of best wings in Nashville. The mac and cheese was good too! Follow their page for their weekly schedule! read more

Wish I could give 10 stars! My husband and I have been eating here for over a year and EVERYTIME we go the food is perfect *chefs kiss*. We always receive above and beyond service which made us hire Pepper Pott to cater our wedding this past September. Every single one of our guest kept complimenting us on our catering choice! One guest said they still dream about the salmon and mac till this day LOL. If we have another celebration in the future we will be hiring Pepper Pott to cater again. I can go on and on about how nice and professional the owners and staff are and how amazing and flavorful the food is but you have to experience for yourself. Please try if you haven't! read more

Amazing doesn't even begin to describe The Pepper Pott. We're addicted to the lemonade. The chicken is so good. The pepper pot??? I can't wait for the holidays again! Do yourself a favor and get this!! read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! I was blown away by this restaurant. I ordered the Jerk Salmon with the Plantains and Rice as a side. I also got an extra side of the Mac & Cheese. When I tell you that I would slap somebody over this meal, I am not kidding! Such rich, vibrant flavors! Seasoned to perfection! I will be back. Note: this is an order only establishment not a dine-in. read more

After seeing them on Instagram, I had to give Pepper Pott a try, and boy was I impressed! I love Caribbean food, and with not many options in the 615 I was excited to have another option! I called ahead to pick up, and they came out to my car and rang me up. I don't know the mans name, but he was extremely kind - they even threw in some free veggie lo Mein as they were testing the menu. In total, I got a order of Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, Baked Mac & Cheese, a Caribbean lemonade, and the free lo mein. The verdict? Absolutely amazing!!! The flavors in the oxtail and the sauce was to die for, it fell right off the bone. The jerk chicken was flavorful and moist, and the Mac and cheese was a perfect side. My one recommendation is be aware of the sizes, I got a large which I didn't realize was meant for 2-3 people - completely on me for not asking but we ate it all since we had a big group anyways! I will definitely be coming back and am excited to see them expand their menu even more! read more

One of my favorite Caribbean restaurants in Nashville. The owner appears to be heart working and prideful about his culture and dishes. He regularly brings the food to the car with sincere gratitude and a big smile. The Jerk Chicken is my favorite. Selfishly I wish I had more sauce on the Jerk Chicken, but I learned to simply add a little on the side. Lastly, the sweet plantains are a must have. I recommend a Ginger Beer to top it off. read more

So good! We ordered a variety of things and nothing disappointed- especially recommend the jerk chicken. Will be back!!

The jerk chicken was good. It was just more bones than chicken. I thought I was getting leg quarters but received bones that the chicken had fallen off of. It was close to closing time so maybe that's why. The fried rice I did not like at all. It was very sweet. The cabbage was ok. read more

Found this place on instagram. Definitely worth checking out. The food here is really good! The portions are generous so a plate will fill you up. I had the Jerk chicken with rice and peas and my girlfriend had the oxtails with cabbage and mac n cheese. Was one of the best Jamaican meals I've had in Nashville. I would definitely recommend this spot. I smashed all my foot before taking a picture... but we'll post pictures from my next visit. read more

My husband and his family are Guyanese and always have pepper pot for Christmas. Unfortunately, covid prevented us from spending the holidays together. Thank you to the Pepper Pott for saving the holiday tradition! I won't tell my mother in law that yours was WAY TASTIER because she will "lash" me. Can't wait to try more of the menu! read more

The beef patties are HOMEMADE! EVERYTHING is delicious. Strongly recommend the ox tail!

Caribbean Cuisine at its finest!! Highly recommend!! The oxtails are my absolute favorite.

Had the curry goat and all I can say is..... WOW!!! Seasoned perfect and great portion. Will definitely be ordering soon. Maybe tomorrow. Lol read more

Amazing food and really nice owner. We ordered The Pepper Pot and Rice and Peas and they were both delicious. Going back soon for the oxtail. read more

This place is a hidden gem the food is just happy bursts of different flavors. Tried almost everything today so we will start w/Caribbean lemonade that had vanilla, mint, and other spices that work well on the palette. The oxtails were different than the others in town more so sweet maybe a Chinese five spice not sure but very tasty. Cabbage had a tang to it with a lots of herbs that mesh well. The 4 cheese Mac had a hint of mustard which I appreciated this owner is definitely a chef from all the unique flavors incorporated into the dishes. The lemon pepper jerk wings were genius. My favorite and probably the best I tasted in Nashville were the fried plantains. My friend got the curry chicken & sweet/spicy jerk wings which was also a hit. Rice & peas was included as a sample to try & I was surprised about how well seasoned it was and not bland like others I have tried. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. Beautifully spiced meat, flavorful sauce, and the best mac and cheese I've ever had. There may be a long wait for your meal, but it's worth every second read more

After reading about this place in the 30 OCT 2020 issue of URBAANITE Nashville: Guyanese Cuisine with Family Vibes, I had to do more research. I reviewed WSMV Terry Bulger's August feature video about the restaurant, their Instagram posts and several Yelp reviews. Always searching for unique, spicy dishes, I knw I had to try this place. So, I texted my Order and headed that way. Result: I agree with the reviews! This is Caribbean Cuisine at its finest!! The oxtails, cabbage, veggie fried rice and Caribbean Lemonade are my absolute favorite. Generous portions and beautiful presentation (nothing leaking from or on the outside the containers). I look forward to trying the other featured dishes and sides. Highly recommend!! read more

Best Caribbean food in Nashville!! The curry chicken is unreal and the plantains are to die for.

Ordered through Uber Eats. I have lived in Nashville 4 years and still haven't found that perfect meal, until Pepper Pott. The best meal I have had here. I had the Jerk Salmon with lime rice and plantains. Every flavor was perfection they way they went together. Just had it two nights ago and ordering again today, such a pleasant surprise. read more

this was without a doubt, the best caribbean/ jerk chicken, i have ever experienced! The sides were just AMAZING! However there is one HUGE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS PLACE!!!
