“I recommend getting the large jerk chicken dinner with festival..you will not be disappointed.”
“The escovitch fish is my favorite though– you get a whole fish and get to pick the meat off the bones and the skin is all seasoned and crispy.”
“Before she covers your container u can pour jerk sauce and bbq sauce to your liking..”

This is it for me. I just found a piece of blue fabric fried into my festival. After coming here for years, I'm done. Y'all can enjoy this unsanitary place.
What can I say, it's a really good jerk spot. I had someone pick up a take out order for me so I can't give any details as to the staff and decor, but the jerk chicken ranked up there with some of the best I've eaten. I'd definitely try them again and think it's worth trying if you're craving something spicy.
It's a standard Jamaican restaurant & it's open all night.
Don't expect smiles and greetings.
Expect good food!
Looks are definitely deceiving because I wouldn't touch this place with a 10 foot pole other wise.
Food is great.
Peppa's is located in the hood.
It's very popular so be prepared to double or triple park if you really want some food.
Have someone waiting in the car though!
Great jerk chicken – tasty, big portions and great price! Make sure to do a heavy pour of the bbq sauce + the hot sauce!
Got a $9 jerk chicken meal. It's several pieces of chicken leg meat on top of a generous bed of rice and beans with cabbage on the side. Given how much food it is, I can't even imagine how large the $11 size would be.
The chicken was flavorful and the sauce was nice and tangy. My one complaint is that many parts of the meat inside were fried to a crisp. Not charcoal black, but dark yellow, a sign that the meat has been overdone and lost most of its moisture. However, the flavor and non-burnt parts of the chicken as well as the skin were pretty good.
There is no seating available. Take-out only.
Probably the best jerk chicken in the area. I tried 3 places and this place has the best. Other place might service you premade or left over. Wait at other place might be over 20 minutes. This place makes their long before your order unless they are like super busy.
I would just go for chicken only because do you need anything else? Their bean and rice looks great too.
I would come back here and try their ox tail on day. Price is very reasonable. If you have a party, order these as finger food. Have fun.
Hole in the wall! Despite the unappealing look of the entrance the food it on point! Trust me, I took the trek to Brooklyn just to eat here.
There was a bit of a line and my order was looked over…so I had to wait another 10 minutes on top of the 15 I had already waited on my food. That aside, the jerk chicken was worth the wait.
When you come to the line, know what you want. Order by the price of the size of the jerk chicken. I heard the woman in front of me say, "9 dolla jerk meal"…that being what I wanted I said the same thing. I had it with rice and peas and cabbage. They place your open top order on the counter so you can dress it with barbecue sauce and/or jerk sauce (Do it! It's amazing!) I ordered festival as well… but they only had 1 ready, so I took it and left to enjoy my chicken. There is no seating in the restaurant, but Prospect Park is just a short walk away with benches and a pond to look at while munching. I'll be back!
It's a dive all right, with just a faded sign, a counter and the smell of smoke wafting throughout the place. Trays at the counter were covered with tin foil, containing festival, rice and beans and other fixins. It was like stepping into a hole in the wall in a third world country. My escovitched fish was fried perfectly and fresh, the bones crunching as I took off every delicious piece of flesh. I forgot to ask for extra onions, but thoroughly enjoyed what I gobbled up. I got the jerk chicken for the sisters, who opined that the blackened, charred meat was a bit on the dry side and didn't taste much of the jerk rub. A man on line waiting gasped when I had doused the chicken with a hot sauce after a liberal sprinkling of barbeque sauce. I witnessed the man before me on line pouring on the sauce and without thinking, did the same. Hey, when in Rome… or in this case Flatbush…do as the locals do…. I was worried that it would be too hot and inedible. Apparently, the pepper sauce here isn't as hot as the shocked gentleman led me to worry about since both my sisters didn't run to the kitchen sink to soak their tongues. It would appear the food here is uneven; Yelpers raved about it but a few, like my sisters, complained the meat was somewhat overdone. The chicken comes in three sizes, $7, $9, $11. I got the medium portion for the sisters, which was a portion large enough for two or even three to share. Not sure I'd pick up the much hyped chicken from here again but I'd do the fish in a heartbeat. Also, the festival here is so delicious I could eat a plate of them myself. They remind me of the fried Chinese cruellers, called cow's tail moustache, not overly sweet and chewy and doughy. They are fantastic by themselves or used to sop up sauce. Food is to go only, and while, the hard working ladies grilling and hacking away at the chicken do their best to move the line, think "island time" as you wait and be patient.
