Wow! I ordered Jerk Chicken and Jerk Pork. The meat was moist and falling off the bone. The spices are on point. The jerk sauce on the side was so spicy, not too sweet, just perfect. Can’t speak to the sides though. I’ve tried a lot of places in the area and Peppa’s is by far the best! And delivery was crazy fast!

The food is really good. The rice and peas tastes good and the chicken was well seasoned and had great flavors. I ordered on Ubereats

Upon entry you have to order at the kiosk and then wait on your number to be called. The server was very polite, the place was clean and organized. It took less than 5 minutes to receive my order even though the place was fairly packed. I ordered the large jerk chicken meal with rice and peas, steamed vegetables, and oxtail gravy, and it did not disappoint. The presentation was flawless—10/10. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned all the way to the bone, which is usually my issue with jerk chicken (the flavor often stays on the surface). The portion size exceeded my expectations, and both the vegetables and the rice and peas were spot on, tasting just as they should. The oxtail gravy on the rice was absolutely incredible—so good, I’m now regretting not ordering the oxtails! Overall, this meal was a 10/10 experience.

Place was super busy. Food was delicious. My kids enjoyed curry goat while I loved my jerk chicken. The spicy jerk sauce was incredible. They messed up on my order but when I returned they made it right. Definitely worth every penny and I highly recommend

I usually get bad service here it often feels like the staff doesn’t want to be there. But last night was different. The young lady who served me was friendly and really personable. I hope the rest of the team follows her example!

If you love jerk chicken go to Peppa’s. Love their chicken and you must have a festival to go with it. That first bite is just mouth watering. If you go there late in the day, the line is out the door. Going to visit soon

Peppa’s Jerk Chicken is always my go-to for Jamaican food, and they never disappoint — but I had to leave a review after my most recent order of jerk pork with a side of festivals. As someone who truly loves jerk pork, I can tell you it’s hard to find authentic, flavorful jerk pork in Brooklyn, but Peppa’s consistently gets it right. The pork was tender, juicy, and packed with that bold, smoky jerk flavor that keeps me coming back. I got both jerk and BBQ sauce on the side, and while both were delicious, the pork honestly didn’t need anything extra, it stood on its own. The festivals were perfectly cooked … golden, slightly sweet, and soft on the inside, the perfect balance to the heat of the pork. And I have to shout out Italia for her amazing customer service! She’s always warm, welcoming, and makes the experience even better. You can tell she cares about the customers and takes pride in what she does. Peppa’s is my top spot in Brooklyn for real Jamaican flavor. Highly recommend!
