Beryl’s Pepper Pot - Pickering, Ontario

The food at THIS location is better than Ajax. However the service is the same: slow. Don’t bother wasting time to order online, because you will still wait another 20 minutes when you arrive after the completion time, for the order. Love to support black businesses but there needs ... to be equally the same amount of attention to customer service and efficacy as there is to good quality. It’s about the total experience. Especially when the food isn’t cheap. Read more

If you’re thinking of buying the stew peas, I’m gonna save you the trouble and say just don’t. As much as I love supporting my fellow black businesses this was just way too salty and does not have much flavour. Additionally a size small costs $20 which is insane to ... think considering curry goat (a much more expensive meat) at some places cost that much and this stew peas meal is primarily made of kidney beans (an item of much lower price bracket). Not sure if it was just the batch they made today that is like this but I’m very let down by this one considering the price of it Read more

I am so shocked by this restaurant. I don’t know what has happened to this place. They overcharge and give u scraps. I’m actually in disbelief… I’ve never ordered jerk chicken and only got 2 little pieces of chicken… & mostly bone at that for $14?! The portions for the ... price is crazy. I’m so mad I spent my money here. This place never used to be like this. I will not be eating here again. Truly SAD! Read more

Was leaving downtown and called in to place a pick up order for Fried Chicken. We were told it’s cook to order and would take 20 mins. We were 42 mins away and said we would call back. Called back when were 23 mins away and was told be someone ... else, there’s no fried chicken. No problem. We said we’d like to place an order for jerk chicken white meat, and was told they have that available along with, jerk pork and oxtail so we can just come in. If we were ordering fish, that’s cooked to order. We said thanks and we would be in shortly for the chicken. WHEN WE ARRIVED…we asked for 2 large white meat jerk chicken dinners, only to be told it would take…you guessed it! 20 MINUTES!! because it’s white meat. NO PROBLEM!!! went to grab some stuff at a shop in the plaza. Got back to only 1…yes you read correctly 1 DINNER. There was no apology for messing up nothing besides to wait and 20 minutes for the second order 😳🤔 that’s a no. Now, we are home only to open up the container and find…drum roll please 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 JERK PORK!!!!!!! LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Read more

I don't normally write reviews, however I was so very impressed with the service at Beryl's Pepper Pot that it led me to do this one. A friend of mine had looked up some restaurants in the area and we came across this one. As soon as we got in through ... the door, the cashier (Shanice) was very alert and ready to take our orders. When we had ordered our food, it was meant to be taken out, but we changed our mind and wanted to dine-in. They were able to make the change with no issue. The waitress was attentive to our needs and asked relevant questions to ensure we were comfortable during the experience. I ordered the snapper fish to be steamed with mixed vegetables. They made it right from scratch so I know it was well prepared. It tasted even better than it looked; finger licking good! We also had some fresh made ginger beer, which was awesome. It tasted like the real deal. This was my first time at the restaurant, and I will definitely be coming back. I would recommend this place to anyone. Read more
