The food is great and the staff is amazing.
This place served the best food I had during my stay in Rochester. Very friendly staff.
Love this place the BEST Jerk Chicken only place I get Jamaican food in Rochester
I ordered over the phone and had not finished my order when I was rudely hung up on!!!! I would never ever do that to a customer ever and I have my own business!!! When I went in to retrieve my order I checked them on the rudeness!!! Never received an apology or anything!!! Discount nothing!!! I got oh well were busy!!! First of all your 3 hours from closing time!!! So why dont you have food and limited to what you have???? Also your one of 2 maybe 3 Jamaican food places open on a Sunday!!! On the East side!!! Do your research!!! Second you should be more courteous to those who know good Jamaican food!!! My suggestion go to Dutch Pot on Norton st. More for your dollar and better food and service!!!! Just saying!!!!
The price for oxtail dinner is insane considering you get a very small portion of oxtail, plantains, and dumplings. The meal is mostly rice and beans with a side of cabbage. Very disappointed and definitely would not recommend this place. Sorry just being completely honest and the quality of the oxtail was horrible; dry, no meat and very tough.
Went to the Greogry St location had the Brown Stew Chicken. Everything was incredible, staff was friendly, bread that came with meal was amazing. Will return 100% thank you!
Owner is nice, good hostess...large portions, clean restaurant and restroom which is a plus!!
Fantastic food. We had the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Portions are generous but not too large. Very nicely seasoned and tasty!Their one high chair is really cute and my toddler stayed seated longer than in the usual ones you see at other restaurants. The decor and music are great. We went at lunchtime and almost all of the tables were bathed in sunlight. We parked at the East End Garage (currently still free on weekends) thats diagonally across the street.
The best Jamaican food in Rochester New York. The food taste as good today as it was the first time I walked through the doors 4yrs ago!
One of my favorite spots to order from. If youre looking for some amazing comfort food, this is your go to place. They have an awesome menu selection and the prices are very reasonable.
Delicious! Freshly Made Daily! No Preservatives, Yummy and Food Doesnt Sit Heavy on You! I Order The Oxtails as Often as I Can! And Still Productive!
Jerk chicken plate to go! No matter how a person decides to order the food either dine in or take out the food is always great & plenty of food for the price you pay!
I totally love the food here and they have an awesome menu selection. The prices are reasonable and the service is one of a kind.
Hits all the flavors and the crew are helpful and very hospitable if you sit down.Tip: Careful where you park though, there is an angry parking lot owner that seems to have a sad soul and will take it out on you and your car with stickers.
Such an awesome spot. Well be back again and again. Food was perfect!! Healthy portions that I gladly polished off:)Prompt and friendly service, calm relaxing atmosphere, very nicely decorated setting.I was looking for a nice sit down Jamaican spot to take my mom who is here visiting from Ghana. This place was perfect.Must visit!
The food was delicious. Wished the water was not room temperature, but overall the dining experience was pleasant. Will be back.I have since been back many times and I looooove the food and the atmosphere. The food is always tender, well seasoned and the ladies are such a joy to speak. You must patronize, best Caribbean food hands down! P.S d water sweet!!!
Incredible food and the service was great. I strongly recommend trying this place out when you have a chance. The food is so good here!
Amazing food. Loved the goat and jerk chicken.
Peppa Pot is the place to experience the authentic taste of the Caribbean. You are greeted by the charming and sincere smiles of the owner and staff who are always pleasant and welcoming. The entree’s and homemade juice blends whisk you away to experience the creative culinary masterpiece of your favorite island experience. On average, I pickup a takeout order 2-3 times a week.
Very nice Jamaican restaurant with authentic Jamaican food! Had the vegetarian plate, but friends I was with, had the goat and oxtail dishes. All very well made, proceed right and delicious. Definitely worth another visit. I know Ill be back. 😊
It was my first time experience, and it was amazing food, we will return again and dine in next time. Love love love their goat and oxtail plate.
A taste of authentic Jamaican cuisine you have to try! The food and service are fantastic. You are immediately greeted by the aroma of classic spices, curries and stews. If youre not an adventurous eater try the beef patty and jerk chicken. The patty is full of flavorful meat with a light flaky crust. The jerk chicken falls off the bone and comes in a delicious sauce. Their oxtail, cabbage and Callaloo greens are wonderful! The staff was very friendly and extremely humble as we sung our praises. They invited us back and explained the storm had affected some of their shipments. They certainly did not miss a beat! The restaurant was busy. Definitely a perfect place to enjoy a comforting meal on a cold winters day!
Love the food here, I pretty tried everything on their menu up to this point. The service staff are always friendly too and its a great location for me.
Visited Peppa Pot on a Sunday at noon. They had just opened so we were the first customers of the day. The owner was very welcoming and immediately welcomed us in. The place looked clean and the food smelled delicious.This is a counter-service, very casual place where you walk up and order your food and it gets brought out to you. There was a good variety of options, including several types of chicken, goat, ox-tail, and seafood dishes, vegetables, plain white rice and red beans and rice. The food looked fresh and hot.We ordered curried goat stew and curried chicken stew, with the red beans and rice and vegetables. The food was fantastic, with super tender, well seasoned meats that fell of the bone. And the food was hot, steaming when it got to our table. The broth in the stew was very robust, loaded with deep flavors that just hit the spot, made you feel warm and fuzzy inside.The owner was always attentive and checked on us frequently.We are definitely planning on going back to sample other dishes!
The service is one of the best and I highly recommend trying their food out. They have an awesome menu selection and the prices are reasonable.
If youre in the area drop in and treat your taste buds....the food was delicious!! I had the curried goat..my favorite...she did not disappoint me..
Such an awesome spot. Well be back again and again. Food was perfect!! Healthy portions that I gladly polished off:)Prompt and friendly service, calm relaxing atmosphere, very nicely decorated setting.Yaassss! The dumplins to die for. My husband went passed it downtown and said we had to stop in. Great food! Great people! Loved it.
Good food. Terrible customer service. Especially towards female patrons. I stood there for 10 minutes waiting for them to scoop food in a tray... They helped both male patrons that game after me in a timely manor though... There goes my lunch break🙄
The Jerk chicken was excellent - flavorful and juicy with the perfect amount of spice for me. My girlfriend had the oxtail, which was rich and savory. The portions were huge and well-worth the price ($8-10, if I remember correctly). The storefront isnt much to look at, but the food more than makes up for it. It was a little quiet when we visited... hopefully Peppa Pot can continue attracting customers!
Awesome service 👌 food always delicious!!!!!
The food is amazing here and the service is always top notch. They have an amazing menu selection and the prices are very reasonable.
SW original. Always good for a visit. Simple and good Jamaican comfort food. Of the 2-3 places I tried in Rochester that have similar fishes, this one is my favorite. At worst: tasty; at best delicious. Surprisingly it doesnt tend to be busy.
Great food quick. Easy walk from downtown. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend them. They won City newspapers best of last year for Caribbean food.
This is the best Jamaican food Ive ever tasted. I ordered curried goat, rice and peas with cabbage and plaintain. It was so delicious that I went back that evening and bought brown stew chicken with the same. The food was fresh and exquisite. The restaurant was clean and in a nice area. I cant wait to go back. I was sad theyre not open on Mondays; however, everyone needs rest. I will let all my friends know about Peppa Pot. I like the name also.
I came from NJ/NYC, and I am a Jamaican. I am not impressed with the quality of food. After eating their food, it made me wondering if they are TRUE Jamaicans. If you havent tasted authentic Jamaican food, then I wouldnt stop you from checking it out. However, if you know the REAL, tasty food, then dont bother.
Was a recommendation from a friend, Best recommendation ever!! If you want authentic Jamaican Cusine, Go here!!! Affordable, Clean, Casual and Comforting Aura! Great Customer Service. I can’t have Carbs, They were able to accommodate my diet as well as many other options! In the heart of downtown, You can’t go wrong!!
Three of the 3 times Ive went, I have been disappointed. Twice they ran out of oxtails, and the third time I ordered over the phone and once I got there they said that they had sold my oxtail dinner to someone else. I wont be going there anymore. No respect for the customers.
The food and quality is magnificent but really small portion. I am from the NYC area not only do you get alot for your buck but you get the quality as well. Would love to see cocoa bread with beef patty and cheese :-D
Not only was the food great, I came from out of town and was planning on going to this restaurant. As soon as I checked in my hotel I went the directions and headed over there. When I arrived I was saddened to learn they not only were the closed (even though the website said they were open),they also ran out of most of their food and didnt have what I wanted. After telling the young lady I was out of town and had been planning on visiting the place and how far my hotel was she made a phone call. This is when I found out they had another location. She confirmed that they had what I wanted and wrote down the address. She didnt have to go out of her way but she did. And I greatly appreciated it. And will definitely return everytime Im in town.
Delicious Jamaican cuisine made by the hands of clean cooks in a clean kitchen. Spotless clean environment and cozy. Warm and friendly staff and owner. They will go out of their way to fill you up with warm deliciousness!!
The food is great portions are great too. Make sure you ask if your food comes in other sizes as they dont really advertise that in the restaurant. And the customer service isnt the best at times. They are not rude but they arent very welcoming either.
OMG the food here is amazing and the service is top notch. I strong recommend giving this peppa pot a try if youre in the neighborhood.
We arrived at Peppa Pot late afternoon the Saturday before Easter. She was extremely apologetic, but sold out of almost everything. Jamaican food is mostly slow cooked over long periods of time. So once something is gone for the day, theres no running to the back to make some more. That said she did dish us up what was left of the ox tails and rice with collard greens that put mine to shame and steamed cabbage. There were four of us (3 teenagers) needless to say it wasnt pretty watching us dive in. All you could hear were grunts and moans of pleasure as the perfectly seasoned and spiced oxtails melted in our mouth. She was generous with the stock from the oxtails on our rice and it was a scramble as everyone tried to scoop up the last few grains. I would highly recommend this place, but go early or even better Call Ahead!
Food was amazing ! customer service wasn’t so friendly but I didn’t expect them to be unless I was Jamaican.
I absolutely love their food!! My fav Jamaican restaurant. I especially love their curry chicken, oxtails and their cabbage is on POINT!! This place is a must try!! **They also take cards.
The food is omg amazing here and the service was as grand. First time ordering and I promise it wont be the last.
Food is great, portions could be more. I have ordered take out as well ate in. pleasant staff and Marlene is a wonderful hostess. Thanks Marlene keep up the good job. I will keep coming back.
The food here is amazing and I love the people here. The staff are super cool and the food is delicious here too.
The best oxtails in town! Cabbage cooked right and not soggy. Pleasant service and portions are good.
I ate oxtail plate there yesterday. It was my first time. Excellent, authentic and reasonable.
It was amazing!!! Im from Jamaica and I havent had authentic Jamaican food in a long while! The atmosphere and the food were just incredible.
Best Jamaican food in Rochester. I love the staff and they know me by name at this point. My favorite is the curry Goat, but the curry/brown stew chicken is amazing as well. Try This!
Great Food!!! Im so excited this place is here! I ordered Jerk Chicken (very tender - flavorful and spicy!)... and Ox Tail (how could I not?!) It came with rice & peas( beans) - some cabbage w/ other vegies, a fried dumpling (OMG! excellent!)..The whole meal was wonderful!... Ill definately be going back!only problem I can see - is no parking. otherwise - if youre wanting REAL Jamaican food - give this a go - its amazing!
Ordered a Brown Stew Fish dinner. It was made to order and it was amazing! Peppa Pot is always out doing themselves. The best Caribbean restaurant with most comfortable and welcoming atmosphere in Rochester, NY.
Ordered from here yesterday and omg, the food was amazing. A friend told me about this place and so glad they did.
I ordered a large curry goat rice and peas cabbage dumplings plantains the goat was very good fresh the sauce was amazing I also ordered the jerk chicken They could put a lot more love into jerk chicken I never had jerk chicken from a Jamaican restaurant that they bake the chicken they have to put more love into the jerk chicken and taste like baked chicken no flavor whatsoever very disappointed
The cabbage had too much stuff in corn, peas etc. The gravy was watery and the chicken had no flavor.
Food was pretty good, the restaurant its self was welcoming and the workers were all pleasant and helpful. Will be going back until Ive tried everything on the menu
Great food, and the service was pretty good too. This was our first time dining in and not doing takeout, and it was a very pleasant experience.
Fantastic Jamaican food. The owner is extra accommodating and the atmosphere is inviting. A must visit for great food in Rochester, NY.
Great amazing food just go there and you will get it especially if you have been to many of the restaurants in rochester that only serve bland tasteless dishes. this place serves delicious food !! so great !
Food was really good, just a little pricey, should have a smaller potion size.
The Codfish and Beans were incredible! Flavorful and tender. The Ginger Tea was awesome! Looking forward to going back!
Great food with a welcoming atmosphere. The food is very flavorful at descent prices. Great place to relax and enjoy some Jamaican food
Not my type of Jamaican Cuisine it tastes more like American Jamaican youre right very small portions the cut everything in half oxtail dinner for $14 you actually get a $6 or $7. thats why named it oxtail dinner not rice and bean dinner I he shall not return !$
Yaassss! The dumplins to die for. My husband went passed it downtown and said we had to stop in. Great food! Great people! Loved it.
I went to Peppa Pot for the first time, the restaurant and the location is great, but they dont give you enough food for the money . I bought a combo and Im still hungry 😒
My experience was great love their Jamaican beef patties .
Absolutely delicious and wonderful service! I cant say enough about this place, but I dont have time to type more. This place is amazing.
I ordered from here for the very first time and wow they really know how to cook. Ill be ordering here for now on!
Excellent food, and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant
Not bad. I would say its not the best Jamaican cuisine Ive had. LJs is better. I dont know if they are still around.
Fantastic service. Great environment. Parking is iffy. And most of all FANTASTIC food. So homey. And such comfort food.
For the price I was disappointed. Not only was the portion size small, the cabbage was bland and the jerk was not jerk. My honest opinion
Didnt get to try food owner of business was very disrespectful and rude to me didnt feel the need to spend my hard own money to feed her pockets but cashier was very nice if it wasnt for owner and her nasty attitude I would have paid
Only the location has changed. The food is still amazing. Make sure you bring your appetite.
We had a wonderful time, the restaurant is beautiful and the food was just amazing. It was the perfect end to our trip.
I love the food its cooked freshh daily and more than enough for the price .Its the best Jamaican restaurant in Rochester 👍👍👍👍

We enjoyed our first visit!! Good food and service.
Great, fresh food. Excellent first impression, Ill be back again and again!
Yummy PeppaSteak!Small portion was more than enough for both me and my wife.$11
The oxtail was chewy and the portions were smaller than other local Jamaican restaurants.
Their sign says theyre open on Sundays 11:00 AM-4:00PM but they were closed! They should change their sign! Bad business!
Never open when I wants sum food maybe just a a sign from God
The Curry goat was delicious and the environment was warm and services were great.
A great place for lunch and dinner. The food is delicious. Great staff.
Simple food, simple environment but full of flavor and that Jamaican spirit I always hear about. Yah man!

The oxtails and gravy, deserves a award for being so delicious. Straight 🔥 Fire!!!
Great food, a variety of choices & a great island vibe atmosphere.

2022-07-09Sincerely on the fence about the place! Seems they are the champ in the neighborhood…..but I’m sure the food could be better. Maybe I got the left over…..!!! The lady that sold my food was actually nice.Will give them another trial. Stay tuned!

2022-05-31I love this restaurant. Their food are great but I dont think I can support this place anymore with a high price increase. Up to 25% increase which makes it unaffordable anymore. The current CPI inflation is only 7% so not sure why they increased it over three times than the inflation cost.Why dont they at least absorb half of the lost and another half by increasing the cost? So both seller and buyers will take the lost equally. At least 5% to 10% increase would make sense. Not 25%.Putting all lost to customers plus a super high unnecessary increase will just push them away from coming back.Well, I guess I will not be able to taste their great food anymore :( And I wish them the best. Hopefully that will stay open until I can afford to buy their meal again in the future.

2022-03-03We used Peppa Pot to provide lunch for folks attending a networking event. The owner, Marlene, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She took the extra step and added our attendees names to each boxed lunch, which made distributing the lunches a breeze. The food was incredible and everyone enjoyed it - and it was all at a great price point. If you are looking for a solo meal or looking to have your event catered, Peppa Pot will have you covered!

2021-05-16First time trying this restaurant. I had the oxtail stew with rice beans plantains and stewed cabbage. Everything was delicious. Will definitely go back!

2019-05-17Im very stingy with my 5 star reviews for food, but this place was outstanding. The food was tremendously seasoned, nicely portioned, and everything on the plate complemented everything else. The staff was friendly and checked in frequently. Really outstanding and an easy walk for folks like me that work right down town. Certainly coming back again!

2019-03-16This is our first time at this restaurant and I have to be honest. Ive tried many Jamaican restaurants and this one is not at the top of the list. The cabbage has no seasoning and mushroom/baby corn ugh. The plantain and dumpling were dry and the jerk chicken wasnt really jerk. Now I hate to write a bad review but like I said I have to be honest. The ackee and saltfish was good.
Review №7
2022-03-10Tried their food out for the first time and it was amazing. Already planning my next visit, the food was that food. And I recommend trying them out when you.
Review №8
2022-03-04Of course the food is good. But the young women that serve the food always seem to look so mean and tired. Customer service needs to be improved.
Review №9
2018-12-17UPDATE FROM 5 TO 2 STARS: RAN OUT OF GOAT, BEEF AND OX TAIL.... Really❓ Chicken is pretty much the only thing available, for the price as tasty as it is, definitely NOT worth it... So sad, was a definite 5 out of 5... Now not worth it...Outstanding! The proprietor Marlene is personable and extremely polite! The peppa steak was so tender and scrumptious! Music was great even if you dont understand the language. Gives a more authentic feel. Bravo! Oh, and the Ginger Beer (non-alcoholic) is phenomenal! The quantity AND quality of the food was beyond expectations! For an average person a $13 peppa steak dish can be split in half to be consumed for 2 separate meals. However, being the gluttonous pig that I am, I simply couldnt resist inhaling the large peppa steak dish including the rice, beans, and sides....

2017-07-30Great food, and the staff was friendly. Was a bit pricey, but you get a good amount for the price. Loved their beef Patty! Havent had a good beef patty in Rochester but theirs is Great. Wish they had a lunch special pricing.
