    Jerk Chicken Plate with collard greens and cabbage
    Jordyn M.

    Came on a Saturday evening around 6:30 with a group of 6. This is an order first then sit down and food will be brought to you. They had r&b and hip hop music playing and also sell THC products. They also have cards and a few games available to play at your table. The food is brought in to go containers, which is helpful for if you don't finish. The portion sizes are pretty nice. Flavor wise the food was good, I can always advocate for even deeper, ricer flavors, but I enjoyed it my plate a can imagine coming back or ordering to go on days when I work downtown. I do wish they offered Jamaican or Caribbean owned hot sauces / pepper sauces for the side. I can imagine on a theme night like r&b night or brunch that it can get popping in there. It is a bit louder with music so not an intimate date night type of place.

    Curry Goat Mac N Cheese Greens
    Ashley M.

    I ordered through DoorDash so I can't speak in the service but the food was AMAZING!!! The greens had a slight sweet to them that I don't normally like but they were cooked perfectly so I didn't mind, they weren't over cooked like most places. The mac was nice and cheesy more creamy than I like (I'm a weirdo who prefers a drier mac lol baked a lil harder) but these still slapped. And the goat was the star of the plate! With that jollaf rice! I could cry!! lol it was so tender and perfectly cooked. I'm so glad I found a PERCET Caribbean spot while I'm here, definitely gonna try out the other dishes soon!

    Jerk Chicken
    Roddri A.

    Upon entering it has that Jamaican decor which was nice to see. There is counter ordering and the order taker was so knowledgeable with the menu and had plenty of personality. There were three of us and we ordered the Jerk Oxtails and Jerk Chicken that came with Jollof Rice, Sweet Potatoes and Greens, another order with Chicken and Jollof Rice, Greens and Sweet Potato also, an order of Rasta Pasta with Jerk Oxtails. Our food was served heat hot and packed with lots of Jamaican Flavor and oh so sendeand prepared with lots of love. The food was so darn good oh my goodness there needs to be more places like this one in Sacramento, CA. THERE WOULD BE LINES OUT THE DOOR. If you haven't been here you should. Hats off to the Chef.

    Curry Chicken
    Bryan B.

    Found this place close by, was craving curry chicken which was really great. Very flavorful and tender, side were really tasty as well. The jerk chicken was a bit basic but not so bad. Service was great, and this place has to have the best music in the area lol. Vibes were cool, they also have an area to just chill, relax with a few drinks and converse.

    Taco plate
    Daviyion J.

    This place was so delicious and such a vibe. We stopped in for lunch and they happen to have some different specials which we enjoyed, including money off tacos as well as their Jamaican patties. I tried the patties as well as tacos, along with one of their custom mix bowls, which comes with your choices, meat or vegetable and rice or another type of base. Everything I ate was really good and flavorful. I also tried their signature trap juice along with a different cocktail while there and it was very yummy. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in Austin. Also, we learned that at nights on the weekends they have another part that turns into more of a club scene which unfortunately, I was not able to make it to, but definitely would like to go back in the future for

    Stopped by here for lunch today and what a great choice! It's a cute restaurant with a cool vibe and the service was top tier! Delano was amazing! He offered us suggestions on both drinks and food and his pairings were perfect. The food was delicious. The drinks were strong and we can't wait to come back. The pick a bowl is a perfect lunch choice and the snapper was made to order. Don't forget to try the rum cake!

    Beef Phatty with Fries
    Aquilla M.

    I was excited to try this place out, but unfortunately my first impression was underwhelming. I tried the beef phatty and it didn't give was I was hoping for. The phatty was small and fried hard, the flavor was lacking the Jamaican flavors I've grown to love. I paid about $16 for fries and a phatty. The vibe was nice, not super packed for a Saturday night. I'll give this place another visit, and follow up with an updated review when I do.

    Oxtail Fried Rice
    Nicole A.

    The young man at counter is always very welcoming and helpful. I am a lover of the oxtails, but could honestly be satisfied with just eating the sides. Great spot, chill vibes, delicious food.

    Brown stew
    Tameka B.

    Looking at some of these reviews, I must've gone on the wrong day. Stopped by this spot while visiting Austin a few summers ago. The brown stew was not good. I didn't want to finish it. The empanada was good, the plantains, and the Ting were good.

    Super cute neon signs outside
    Tina Marie C.

    We stopped here for a late dinner after an ACL Live at the Moody show. It was great. The atmosphere was colorful & fun with neon signs & rainbow tiles & funky booths & chandeliers. The menu was varied, so it was hard to choose but I had the vegetarian chickpea curry & my date had chicken curry. We had side salad & sweet potato sides & chocolate cake dessert. It was way too much food as the portions were big, but everything came in take out boxes, so it was easy to pack up. It wasn't crowded at all, but it was between dinner & the after bar rush at 9pm. The servers were super cute & nice. The music was celebratory & fun to get the weekend started. Lastly, the prices were reasonable. Why go to someplace predictable when you can have fun?

    Rasta Pasta with jerk chicken and shrimp. My shrimp we're on the side.
    Classie L.

    I was visiting and had heard about Traphouse. They didn't disappoint the food was seasoned well and had good portions. I also ordered the hibiscus mint tea and my sister had the trap juice. They both were delicious.

    Salad which only had ranch (yuck) or a spicy green dressing
    Angela B.

    The food was on point. When we walked in had more of a club feel than restaurant. Dark lighting and loud (but good) music. Only a couple other peeps having dinner. Ordered the jerk chicken with sweet potatoes and coconut rice and greens along with a beef patty. The jerk chicken was exactly what you'd expect and the sweet potatoes were my favorite. Greens not complaints there. The beef patty to me could have been a thinner dough and meat spread out more. The service was great and they delivered to the table despite having a call number. Other than being caught off guard with the club like setting and the decor, the food was good. I'd return to the other items.

I ordered the fried fish plate with macaroni and cheese and candied yams, plus sides of sautéed cabbage and honey butter cornbread. My total came to just over $44, so I was expecting to be impressed. After ordering, someone came to the window and explained that they needed to make more mac & cheese and it would take 45 minutes. I requested a refund for that side, but when I received my order, it was included in the bag anyway. The food looked appealing, but my first bite of fish, while crispy, was flavorless. The mac & cheese wasn't mixed well and lacked seasoning. The candied yams had too much allspice, the sautéed cabbage was bitter, and the cornbread was crumbly rather than moist. Overall, I was disappointed--especially after waiting over 30 minutes for my food, having skipped breakfast in anticipation of this meal. Based on other reviews, I can see they've served great food, but unfortunately, today just wasn't that day.

You can really taste the love that went into all this food. This is a food truck right across from HEB mueller in that swimming pool parking lot.

I online ordered and picked up 3 different orders. 2 of them were not ready and she had me wait in my car and she brought them out to me so I didn't melt in the heat. Now the important stuff the menu... Ok who knew you could fry ribs?!?! They were on point. 4 to an order. Ribs were still moist, the batter had a crunch, and the meat fell off the bone. The dirty rice was the best dirty rice I've ever eaten. It was loaded up with seafood The smothered pork chops were 2 to an order and 2 sides served on a bed of white rice. Also very moist and great flavor, the Mac n cheese was not runny which I personally hate when it's just a runny mess, the fried cabbage also had a great flavor and it was still crunchy. The jerk chicken had great flavor but it was ordered as mild (not by me) and it definitely needed the heat/spice,the jumbalaya side was also tasty We also got the hot Cheetos boudin balls (I forgot to take a picture) they were huge and not spicy at first bite the heat sneaks up on you. The strawberry crunch cake was a big slice and reminded me of strawberry cake doughnut but that banana pudding was also probably the best banana pudding I've ever eaten. I felt all the portions were huge and prices were fair. This definitely not a food truck to sleep on. I've been told she makes great oxtails but they sell out fast.

Well, I could have called and so that is totally my bad. However, it is a reasonable expectation that you will not run out plates of food 4 hours before closing. I am going to be less likely to patronize this business in the future.
