I ordered a curry goat plate and the curry goat was so delicious. However, I did not enjoy the roti. The waitress was so personable and attentive. There is limited seating but the place looks decent. read more

I had been on the search for some authentic Jamaican food and saw so many mixed reviews out there and opted to go check out Reggae Grill and they did not disappoint! It's a small establishment but those tend to be the best. It's a no frills aesthetic both inside and out. Very unassuming but when I tell you this is some of the best Jamaican food I've had in a LONG time I'm not lying. The service was amazing and the team is support friendly. The brown stew chicken was not only packed with flavor but it was fall off the bone tender. The rice and peas were cooked perfectly and the brown stew gravy on top was AMAZING! all in all i've been back twice in three days...it's just THAT good! read more

Neighbor restaurants are some of my favorite places to eat. Reggae Grill cooks up some great food with original flavors from the islands. The menu sticks to known favorites which include beef pies, ox tails, and curry goat. I see it as half restaurant and half bar, all laid back. There were a couple mix ups with my order, but no worries. I enjoyed my meal all the same. read more

High reviews may be based on the food itself but as far as service or quickness our experience is very poor. We have waited in restaurant at least 20-40 minutes minimum. I have never waited as long as they take to put these meals together. They did come out with an order but was completely wrong. My impression of the establishment is a small cafe with a few Jamaican flags, wording, and music camouflaged up to attract the tourists. There are no Jamaicans taking order, the menu is always on the TV. There is an attached side to cafe with 1 pool table, another bar, and stage. Upon finally receiving our orders albeit after an hour wait the food was presented well but no damn way wait for amount served. We have come to expect that no one here in America can give it the jerk taste and this was no different. Yes it is fall off bone but only jerk seasoning not the taste cooked in. It is serviceable as far as American standards. The curry chicken was way salty and the side of rice peas was very small as compared to me I got very large portion rice. The food was okay but as long as we waited I was ready to get refund and leave. If you want horrible service come here but I will not again. read more

The oxtail was what I came for, and it turned out to be the right choice. The meat was tender enough to pull apart easily, with a rich gravy that soaked into the rice and peas. The cabbage had a little crunch left to it, and the fried plantains brought some sweetness to the plate. The portions were generous, so I ended up taking some home. The food had a comforting, home-cooked quality that made the meal feel worth the visit. read more

The jerk, chicken and beef stew meat was so good. I highly recommend will be coming again.

My Uber eats order came fresh and hot. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and flavor of the greens. The portion size was great for the price. The oxtails were tender and plenty. During my dine experience, the quality and service was just the same. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very welcoming. You will enjoy your time here. Highly recommended read more

Our ROMEO group of 6 went here Tuesday. Arrived at around 11:20 and the waitress said it'd be a bit before he was ready to serve. She took our order around 11:40 or so. It was the first time for out group....we ordered (2) Jerk Chicken with rice/beans and plantains, and order of shrimp with rice/beans, two orders of chicken wings (one with jerk seasoning and one with habanero/mango sauce) and also a Jerk Chicken with cabbage and rice/beans. The jerk seasoning was very good. The jerk chicken was tender, well flavored and fell off the bone! The rice and beans are also very well flavored with the jerk sauce ( which had a nice tang to it). Plantains were excellent, fried with a crispy outside and soft on the inside. Everyone liked the food. The only issue was that these were the smallest chicken wings we've ever seen. The joke was that maybe they were pigeon or hummingbird wings! Very small, buy the habanero/mango sauce was a winner! Our ratings varied from 4-4.5 One of the chicken wing guys said he would've given it a five but the French fries weren't crispy. Atmosphere on the inside was decent (compared to what you would expect from the outside). Looks like they have a second room for nighttime entertainment with music and a bar. read more

It's a no for me. When you walk in the smell will trick you because it smells amazing. However there's something missing or lacking. I had the jerk chicken. I asked for the white meat which is an up charge and of course they didn't have it. The portion size seemed to be small for what we paid for. I had plantain and macaroni and cheese as my sides. The other plate we ordered was curry chicken with cabbage and plantain as the side. The curry chicken tasted flat but no curry flavor to it. The spices were there for both meats but it seemed like it lacked the flavor. Also the confusion of where to order. Is there a take out section? We watched people sit down to eat and ended up having to get up to order their food at the bar. We waited in line to also order at the bar. read more

This place is very good! My wife and I had the jerk chicken and the oxtails. We both were blown away by how good everything tasted. The restaurant has a really nice mom and pop feel. We honestly just wanted to hang at the bar and pretend we were in the Caribbean again. I highly recommend this place! read more

Very good curry goat, I was pleasantly surprised with the spice. It was not washed down at all!

DELICIOUS!!! Had the curry shrimp, peas and rice and plantains. SO GOOD!!! The run bunch as good too.

order online for delivery. the portion was generous, jerk chicken very flavorful pair with plaintaln and rice & beans. my daughter ordered fried fish great portion, fresh taste but they forgot to put the fries. read more

This place is like a sweet little hidden gem. At least to me it was. I have never heard of this place before and was craving Jamaican food and yelp took me here. Excuse the picture, I started poking at my food before I took a picture lol! I enjoyed it! The rice and peas didn't quite taste like other versions or Jamaican rice and peas that I have had... but it was edible. The restaurant appears to be connected to a club/lounge. I wouldn't bring my kids here to sit down and eat, but the ambiance is suitable for a meet up with friends, meet n greet, maybe even a casual date. Staff was friendly and polite. The place is about 30/40 minutes from my house, but it's worth a drive to try out other options on the menu. read more

The Reggae Grill - Small Talapia fish plate with red beans and rice with collards. - Caribbean Near Me - Cayce, South Carolina

In town because one of our grands was in the hospital and needed a bite! Food was pretty good! I've gad better but this wasn't the worse either! The staff is friendly - seems family run and you could tell they had regulars that visit often! It had a couple tables outside and adequate inside seating! The ox tails were meaty but could have been a smidge more tender and more of them but had good flavor. I found the rice to be overcooked but flavorful as well! For a small city this is a good option! read more

Very tasty and fresh authentic Jamaican cuisine that feeds the soul. This place has awesome hours and will please your tastebuds! read more

A little hidden gem. A after work spot & bar. They had Red Stripe beer Had the Ackee & saltfish. A little buttery but delicious. I devoured it. Will definitely return for more. read more

If I could give them a negative rating, I would. The portion size tells this place probably won't be around much longer. Their sides' sizes aren't enough to feed a very small very young child, they ought to be ashamed of themselves for charging $20 something dollars for five sides what was ultimately equivalent to two side dishes. read more

Best Jamaican food in the Midlands!!!! Has that perfect neighborhood "hole in the wall" vibe! Took my friends from Jamaica there and they were blown away stating that was the best jamaican food in the states they'd had! read more

I can't speak on service in person and location because I did order from here through DoorDash, but I have mixed feelings. My bf ordered the food and I think the order was placed at around 6:40-6:45ish. The eta of delivery was 7:19-7:45 (something like that). They called him at 7:10 to say they did not have Rasta pasta so he ordered something else which of course would have taken them longer to make for him. Needless to say my food was cold while his was "piping hot" as he described. He got oxtails which seemed good because he ate it. He ordered beef patties which were really good. I love the flaky pastry, it was nice and crispy on the edges. The beef patty had really good flavor and a little kick to it. I ordered jerk chicken with fried plantains and rice and peas. The jerk chicken was good and very spicy, I love the jerk flavor. The rice and peas were good, it kind of had a tangy taste. I would have preferred white rice but it gave it as an option for an actual extra side item but not as a side that comes with the meal which was weird. The plantains were cold and chewy (I'm assuming that's how they are prepared), but I preferably like mine crispy. I feel like we should have been called prior to notify us they did not have Rasta pasta so we wouldn't have had to wait so long for our food and it also seems like they cooked mine first and it was sitting and waiting for his food to be done which caused it to be cold when i got it. I wasn't a fan of this experience but maybe next time will be better if there is a next time. read more

The Reggae Grill - Jerk chicken Rice and peas and fried plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Cayce, South Carolina

The food and service were mostly good, however the stew chicken was not very flavorful like some Jamaican places I've been to in the Charleston area. The collards were tasty and so were the rice and beans and plantains, the coco bread was ok, but hard on the corners. The inside of the place is a bit worn out and the walls could use a cleaning. read more

I can't speak to their service or restaurant building since I got the food off of DoorDash. However, I can say that the ox tail was very delicious and tender. The plantains were also delicious, soft, and enjoyable. I'm a little bit of a picky eater, so I chose the "fries" option as my second side on DoorDash; however, what I received was rice instead. I don't mind rice, it just wasn't my preference. I'm unsure why it was substituted, but I'm sure they had a reason. The rice was okay, but even better when dipped in the juice from the ox tail. The Ting I was given was grapefruit flavored, and it was very tasty. Also, I ordered a chocolate cake, but they were out, so I chose strawberry instead. The cake was pretty standard, but enjoyable. Over all, I would definitely order from here again! read more

The absolute worst meal portion size of a quarter. It was a complete rip off. All rice and beans and almost no oxtail. The whole purpose of my order was for oxtail. They did not send my Jamaican patties or my upside down cake. So I paid full price and got a third of my meal. This place needs to be shut down. Box Mac and Cheese with cheese on top. Buyers beware of this scam. They do not answer the phone because of this. read more

While visiting Columbia SC, I wanted some authentic Jamaican food. More specifically, some good oxtails with rice and peas. This was NOT the spot for authentic Jamaican despite what other reviewers stated. Don't get me wrong, the oxtails, rice and peas with plantains were good, just not authentically seasoned. It was missing something. Oxtails were tender and tasty. Rice and peas were good. My wife said plantains tasted if they came out of package in freezer. I have visited rum plantations in Jamaican and had jerk chicken, goat, caillou with rice and peas so I know what it should taste like. I live in South Florida where many Jamaican are located and know which ones are authentic tasting. The Reggae Grill is just not authentic. Again, the food was good, just missing something. The service was good. We ordered at the bar area and had it as takeout. I was not too sure on what process was since no one greeted you once inside. There are tables and seats inside for onsite eating. There is another dining area through the main dining room when you walk in. In the other dining room, there was a pool table for customers. You can also have a seat at the bar which contains about 5-6 chairs. This is a neighborhood spot with some tasty food if you want a southern style tasting Jamaican flavor. read more

Looking for a place with tasty wings and I found it, deliciously prepared nice and spicy!! got garlic wings and hot wings. Also wanted to try the curry goat it was excellent nice and spicy very traditional tasting. Also they got a great bartender gal who made me a nice strong Bahama mama. Be forewarned this is not a touristy spot this is for locals only who appreciate good food and down to earth people. read more

I've been 2 times. From Jacksonville Florida. The best Caribbean food I've had in Columbia. The jerk, brown stew, and curry chicken was Fire. Service was great. Friendly environment. The serve alcohol from opening. And turn into musics vibes at night read more

Ordered on UberEats at recommendation. Jerk chicken dry as dust. Rice & peas dry without extra gravy asked for. Marginal at best. Plantains are extra which are served traditionally with Caribbean fare. Very disappointing as the curry small snack was just as dry. How is curry dry? Gravy keeps all things juicy. When folks open restaurants that are popular they stop caring about the product; just the profit. Unreal they sold this. Oh well mediocrity is being nice. read more

Food is always slamming. The customer service is AWESOME!Fave Caribbean food in Columbia!

The food is ALWAYS hot, tasty, & authentic here. This is a REAL Jamaican spot. Never do I go anywhere else in SC for Jamaican food. Whether I'm getting oxtail or shrimp & fries, it's always a smash. And it doesn't cost an arm & a leg! The vibe is dope. They have a pool table and lunge area as well. The bartenders don't play about their drinks either! You won't regret it. read more

We have been traveling a lot lately so it was good to round back for a Jerk Chicken fix at the Caribbean Soul Grill. Having sampled the collards last time, I opted for the Jerk Chicken, Rice & Peas and Collards. All were wonderful. My Bride had the same and enjoyed it as well. My Granddaughter had the Teriyaki Wings with Fires. She said they were the best wings she had ever had. That's a big statement from my Granddaughter who is the ultimate Foodie at only 7 years old. Next trip I'll give the Curried Goat a try..... If you like Caribbean food, you should give this place a try!! read more
