    Salmon sandwich with cabbage and rice
    Kleopatra G.

    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.

    Chicken Pineapple Bowl with Plantains

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

The service from Kayla Pearson and her other female counterpart, was completely unacceptable and unprofessional. They were rude with 2 of my sisters as well as one of my guests, who was scolded for taking too much chicken. The servers couldn't be bothered to clear about 1/2 of our guests' plates. They were compostable bamboo, so all they had to do was clear and toss. But, they did not. We had agreed that CRAVE would bring some whimsical birdcages and stuff like that to decorate with. That did not happen. Then the two severs who were on staff asked to leave two hours before the agreed upon time, after already half-assing their jobs. They complained about putting SIX bottles of sparkling wine in ice for us and did not help with cake service as was agreed upon. As I said, the bartender was literally the best part of the entire CRAVE experience. I worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, so I know it can be the pits, but this had to be one of the easiest catering gigs and the two servers assigned to our wedding, as well as CRAVE catering really dropped the ball. Instead of alleviating the pressure and stress of one of the busiest (and best) days of my life, they added to it. I work too hard to let this slide. I would recommend Jay as a bartender anytime. I cannot say the same for any other part of the CRAVE team.
