Best Jamaican food in Houston hands down. Beef patties and vegetables patties were topnotch, very friendly service, food is delicious! Will definitely be back whenever I'm craving Jamaican food! Only regret is that I didn't try the oxtail this time and that they didn't have roti. I guess you can't have it all. I recommend this place to everyone!!! read more

We came here one night because we had recently gotten back from a trip to Jamaica, and were craving some of the island flavors. We basically got one of every jerk dish and the beef patty, which were all completely on point. I'll definitely be back whenever I can, just to eat and live on island time for a little while. read more

I can't believe I hadn't been here yet. This was literally the only place in this area I haven't had yet. I ordered the stewed chicken and it was giving everything it was supposed to have gave! The vibe was so right with the music, the food was perfect, the service was great. Reggae Hut is off Almeda right in the mix. The only thing this place is missing is hookah, I swear. I ate inside but the outside area is a vibe too. Y'all.... this food was soooo good! I didn't get a picture of their beef Pattie's but they were everything. read more

Was visiting Houston and saw this listing on Yelp. Wanted some good Jamaican food and this was near Turkey Leg Hut. Got to order the Jerk Chicken, Brown Chicken, Ox Tails, and Plantains. Every item was on point and delicious. Meat was cooked perfectly and both meats fell off the bone. Seasoned perfectly. The staff was great and very helpful. I will definitely be back. Oh yeah, the plantains were delicious as well and that's one of my favorite items. read more

Service and food were great. I ordered the brown stew chicken with double veggies. They provided large portions that lasted me 3 days. Nice homely ambiance. Even received a follow up call to ensure that I was provided good service. read more

LONG WAIT EVEN IF YOU CALL AHEAD. They forgot to pack my oxtails the 1st time! close to closing time I was heading home, so I had to drive 30 miles from cypress THE NEXT DAY to get my oxtails. They gave me 2 jerk wings plates by mistake instead of 1 plate, all orders come with 2 sides so I got rice and veggies, all spicy fresh and delicious! ..also plantains were great, (I got a large order which was only 9 chunks)...I ordered brown stew chicken and the oxtails were great once I went back for it the next day Tried potato salad it was good, I've had better. (They ran out of potato salad the first night before so that's why I got it the next day too, it was on my reciept and they swapped it for cabbage mix.) No charge for the trouble the next day. I got fruit punch too and left $8 tip, so my total was $61.45! Ouch. Oxtail $19.95! I got 3 big pieces mostly bone and fat. The meat is good when you find it, sauce is great too. Fruit Punch $3.75! Taste like a fruit smoothie drink...Everything else is decent prices. $12 and less. I'm a new customer, had a bad first impression, loved the food. Hated the drive, the wait, the cost and the parking is scarce. So no I wont spend money there again for a LONG time or maybe never again. But they will do great with locals who like to spend money and eat spicy food. read more

The food was bomb. My friend and I shared the goat curry and jerk chicken with an order of fried plantain. Hit. The. Spot. Definitely a try for some good synthetic Caribbean food. read more

My first time visiting Reggae Hut and my experience was awesome! I called in my order in advance. When I got there, I was greeted immediately and was told that my order would be right up. A few short minutes passed and my order was ready. They showed me my order prior to bagging it and asked if the food looked good and if it was correct (that was very nice of them); after getting home I received a call about an hour later from Reggae Hut thanking me for visiting and wanting to know if my food was good. I replied with "It was amazing, I will surely be coming back!!!" Ok now the food was AMAZING! The oxtails were super tender that they literally melted in my mouth! Full of flavor and just overall a great choice! So order them! You won't regret it! Another plus for me was that the food was piping hot even when I got home (I live about 20 minutes away) and the portion size was great!!! Once again I will be returning! read more

Reggae Hut - Oxtails with rice and vegetable medley - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

My all time favorite jerk chicken and oxtails. The process with inflation suck every where so don't expect to just get good quality and great portion size without the cost! PS get the ginger drink!!! So GOOD! read more

The customer service I can absolutely give Reggae Hut 5 stars they offered to replace my husband's Cuban creole red fish meal. I was not expecting that which shows me just how thoughtful the owner is. After years of eating here My heart is still set on them, it's something about their seasoning the taste of their dishes nobody else could mimic. I've tried other Jamaican places not many as good as Reggae Hut....I'm giving them another try Like I said in the previous review old habits are hard to break! I still love this place! Thank you for responding! read more

I had no idea about this place but a client had told me about it earlier in the day. I didn't realize that Reggae Hut was less than a block away from Houston's famous Turkey Leg Hut, but this isn't about them. I had to try the creole curry snapper. It had an amazing flavor. Watch out for those bones because this fish has plenty of them. This was a simple meal with a lot of rice and a vegetable medley on the side which was also prepared well. The gravy on top of the snapper had a little kick and the bell peppers and onions really set this dish apart. I cannot wait to be back to try something else before I have to leave Houston. By the way, the staff was very nice. The young man who took our order was very helpful and pleasant. The woman who brought our food was super sweet. They definitely made me feel at home read more

Always looking for Caribbean food options and was happy to find this one. Tried another place recently which I thought was pretty good and this might be better. Lucked up on the first visit and got a parking space right in front of the door on an early Sat evening. I later saw more parking behind the building just in case. I dined in so I ordered, grabbed a seat (there's a dining area) and expected to wait forever. Was surprised when the food was ready in less than 15 minutes. I got the Curry Chicken with rice & peas, cabbage and coco bread. The chicken, that's mixed with potatoes, was so flavorful and I couldn't get enough of the sauce. However, it was quite salty. Even the potatoes were salty and it takes quite a bit of sodium to over salt a whole potato. Rice & peas were ok but nothing special - the curry sauce helped them out. The cabbage was good and I've never had it with corn but it worked. Also, the portion was hefty so I made 3 meals out of the one meal. I've already gone back so needless to say it was worth another visit. read more

Everyone talks about the business next door, but this place is slept on. The food is delicious, and you will have leftovers that make you want to come back for more. There isnt a single item on the menu that I don't recommend, from the jerk chicken to the curries to the beef patties to the plantains. And the service is impeccable. Because we went at a slower time, they were able to let us try samples of all of the different dishes, and we found out what we liked other than the jerk chicken (which is great but it's nice to have variety. I recommend coming here and trying the food because you won't be disappointed. read more

I decided to try this restaurant out while I was in town because I heard good things. My mom is Jamaican so I can be pretty picky about Jamaican cuisine. I must say they were pretty good. I got the brown stew chicken, rice, and peas, with the potato salad. They give you a really good amount of food so you will definitely be full. I also got a beef patty and a Kola Champagne that was pretty good as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. I'll definitely come back to this spot when I return to Houston! O yea shout out to the staff they were very friendly! #GreatCustomerService read more

Absolutely 5 stars! Now this is what I want when I go and order Oxtails. These things were as big as my kneecaps lol. So good & so much food. You can share it for sure. I got rice/peas + Potato salad instead of the mixed veggies. A side of sweet plantains & beef patty! Yes I know it's a lot. But omg so good and worth the left overs! read more

Great spot. Food was full fillingwould recommend to people. Staff was nice and friendly. Environment was chill, but parking was at the back so watch out for on coming traffic when leaving. read more

I come often and the food is always great. The sweet tea and lemonade are a hit too. The employees are friendly and if you ask for extra sauce, trust me, they've got you covered. I stopped in today for a "hold me over snack" and opted for the beef patty which was fresh out of the oven and DELICIOUS. it's not like the store bought Patties. They put some extra love in them or something. Lord have mercy. Anyway, check them out. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Reggae Hut - Fresh beef patty and in house made sweet tea - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

The oxtails are soooo good! So let's start with they have street parking and parking behind the building. The street looks packed big thats usually the turkey leg hut right down the street. I would highly recommend parking in the back. You walk in and it's one of the order up front type of locations. They do take the food to your table so don't worry about getting up to grab it. We ordered the oxtails and they came out piping hot and so delicious! It was a very big portion of food the rice and peas were so good also. We had some of the house made drinks and I will say they are way to sweet unfortunately. Overall we are very satisfied with the food and will most definitely be returning! read more

Cool spot! Jamaica vibes. I had the curry chicken and it was so good. My girl got the jerk chicken and it was even better. The patties are the best though. Try them with that calypso sauce!! Maaan!! That was worth the drive for sure read more

An amazing experience even though we arrived a few minutes prior to closing. Was welcomed with phenomenal service and the food was quite tasty even at the last hour of service. read more

I've passed this place many times on the way home and wish that I had come in to try their food a lot sooner! They offer free parking in the back and you can park in the front everyday with the exception of 4-6pm, I actually saw a parking cop today so heed the signs! We ordered the oxtail, jerk chicken, and the beef pattie. If you've never had Jamaican food before, know that the beef pattie is not actually a patty but an empanada like pastry filled with meat. Theirs was perfectly crispy and the beef inside was perfectly seasoned. They also keep them warm up front so you get to eat it right away. I was a little scared of the jerk chicken at first because the menu has 3-4 hot chili peppers next to it but when I got it, it wasn't actually spicy to me at all. It was super moist and had a great smoky flavor. Definitely one of the better jerk chickens I've had! Oxtail was moist as well but the sauce it came with paled in comparison to the jerk chicken. Overall, I'll definitely be back for some more jerk chicken and their beef patties and I can't wait to give their seafood a try! read more

The food was awesome, the best oxtails I had in my life . Very delicious and delightful.

Disgusting!!!!! Worse Jamaican I have ever tasted in my life. Beef patty also had weird taste almost as if it was freezer burn or something. I'm mad I spent 23.00 and I'm still hungry. read more

Reggae Hut - Curry chicken and Jamaican potato salad - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm always on the lookout for new Jamaican spots cause as I've mentioned before I'm a oxtail addict. So after I stumbled across Reggae Hut I was ecstatic because it's much closer than Cool Runnings. I can say now, to me, IT'S BETTER THAN COOL RUNNINGS. My oxtails were perfect, large and tender with the meat falling off the bone. The gravy was rich and plentiful. Literally the best oxtails I've had outside of east coast or on the island. And they had BEEF PATTIES at night! For people who really eat Jamaican, you know at night it's hit or miss. Win-Win-Win. I'll be back multiple times for sure. read more

Decided to eat lunch here and we loved it. We ordered our food as takeout but once we got there and paid for it we just decided to eat in. It's very chill and casual. (Wear something comfy and cute if you're on a date) especially bc there isn't AC. The restaurant is also located near other restaurants and shops. The service was nice and the food was amazing. We ordered the Cuban creole shrimp and the jerk shrimp. Both were a good amount of spicy. We loved our food and would definitely go back. read more

Delicious food. Wonderful customer service. I personally believe they have the best rice and peas. And their beef patties are absolutely delicious. read more

Food was delicious was worth the wait time Customer service was okay could be better Will be back soon read more

Reggae Hut - Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Fantastic authentic Jamaican cuisine. Came here off the recommendation of a cousin who lives in the area and was NOT disappointed. As a New Yorker I can usually get great Jamaican fare fairly easily so I feel as though I know it pretty well. While it all tasted great, my only critique is that it's a bit pricey for what you get. I had the curry shrimp and while it was delicious, I do wish I had a bit more of the actual protein. Other than that, pretty great! Go here fam. read more

Good food and good service the only complaint I have is the parking that area is congested.

My husband and I checked out the Reggae Hut last Sunday and we were not disappointed! I ordered the Goat curry and I was presently surprised how much goat meat was in the curry. I have ordered goat curry in the past at other restaurants and sometime I had receive more goat bones instead of meat. The curry was very flavorful. My husband ordered the shrimp curry and he thought it tasted amazing. The customer service was great as well! We can't wait to go back! read more

Can't believe I've been living in Houston for almost 10 years and have never tried Reggae Hut until today 4/11/2022. I ordered to go. The staff on duty were so nice, welcoming and friendly. I ordered the jerk chicken plate and it was so good. Being from Louisiana, I am accustomed to spicy food no lie the jerk chicken gave me a run for my money but I truly enjoyed it. The rice and beans were great and the vegetable melody which had a kick too. 100% recommend and can't wait to come back! read more

I've been going to reggae hut since I was in my twenties so basically a long time. You have to try the fish dishes. Best one for us would be the curry red snapper. Let me warn you now the oxtails are $40 and you get maybe 3 or 4. You can't go wrong with curry chicken, curry shrimp etc .. I've never eaten something from here and been disappointed. read more

Got the Beef patties and chicken patties and were a bit too spicy for our liking. Parking was a all over the place. Service was amazing.

Great food great price. I tried many things and even got some to go. No ac so it was hot as heck. read more

Absolutely delicious! When the oxtail is literally falling off the bone with just a soft scrape of your fork, you know it's damn good. Plus, they weren't skimp with the lunch serving size. I want to go into a food coma. (Judge me) My girlfriend and I arrived for an early lunch and everyone was so polite and friendly! There was even a man playing steel drums live. Parking can be a bit tricky on busy days. There's a few spaces in front, as well as a lot with several reserved spots for reggae hut behind the build. read more

Reggae Hut - Oxtail with rice and peas + cabbage and veggies - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was excellent. I had Jerk shrimp and it was the best I've tasted in a long time. If you don't like a lot of heat one might need to request it without the 3 alarm spice. Staff was friendly and happy to help. The decor has a basic feel that takes you back to the islands. Great juices prepared in house. I ate there several times and enjoyed each visit. I highly recommend this place. Best Jamaican food in Htown hands down. read more

Honestly, I've had much better authentic JA food. What I can say is just can tell it was definitely tell the food was made to order- it was piping hot! We had two orders of curry shrimp- sub rice and peas. Rice was mad bland... no flavor. The worst part is the customer service. It literally felt like they just wanted me to order and get out... my first and last visit there. read more

Their food is great!! The service is great! The atmosphere is great! A little hidden haven on bad days...lol read more

First time eating here. I was craving some island flavored food. I had the jerk chicken and it was seasoned well, spicy, and had good portions. Spice level from scale of 1-5 is a 3. Everything tasted good. Plantains were good. Drinks are separate and cost 3.75. I feel is high priced. I can't lie though that sweet tea was some of the best tea I've tasted. I see why it's priced high but still a lot honestly. read more
