Been waiting to try this place and so glad i got to as they were part of the savory farmers market in south austin. The jerk chicken was some of the best I've had i could not stop eating the mean fall off the bone with the rich flavors of the sauces and seasoning. The empanada Patties we're also decadent. Filled with spiced and tasty meat, fried to perfection in vegan dough, you can't go wrong. Can't wait to be back (also amazing restaurant name and all the dishes) read more

Fantastic food that's definitely a twist but has a really good homage to it's Jamaican roots.

Was in town for UT game decided to stop by around 930 pm. The vibe was great there was a live DJ. The young lady in the register was VERYheloful. She told us about the popular items, her faves and was realistic with food wait time. Everything came out in about 15 min. The food was fresh, well seasoned, great spice level as well. We had the curry chicken and curry goat with cabbage and plantain as our sides with jungle juice ( refreshing). Would recommend if in Austin looking for Caribbean try this place. read more

The food is definitely mediocre, customer service okay not sure why it's called trap house rainbow house maybe definitely not trap house

The Jerk Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese and Collard Greens was phenomenal! It was definitely worth the wait! I would suggest this to anyone who loves Island and Caribbean food. read more

I stumbled upon the location off of 4th st and immediately was intrigued to try out their vegan options while out dancing. I love this place. Such a great vibe, good food, and music. The service was great and quick for a Saturday night after 10:30pm. Also the margaritas were solid. I recommend if you are in the area, need some more fuel for the night out, come check this place out! I will be back and will be recommending to others. I fully enjoyed the experience and food. read more

Traphouse Caribbean - Jackfruit Phatty, Plantains, Yukon Fries, and Black Bean Phatty. - Caribbean Near Me - Austin, Texas

The food was SO good and the place had a really cool vibe. Multiple levels of bars that played different genres of music.

Me and my family decided to try this place out. 7/19/24 we walked into the restaurant to dine in. However there is very limited seating and since we had children with us we did not have access to another part of the restaurant. It was early evening. So we decided to leave since there was not enough seating to accommodate 4 people. 7/20/24 we decide to DoorDash. The food arrived before the expected time which was nice. Ratings 1. Oxtails 7/10. Very tender but the gravy was not flavorful 2. Plantains 10/10 perfect. 3. Cabbage 2/10 extremely bland and could've had addl veggies like peppers and onions and seasonings. 4. Rice and peas 3/10 tender but lacked flavor. Did not improve with the gravy either 5. Jerk chicken 4/10 grilled chicken basted with jerk bbq sauce. Disappointing 6. Beef patty 3/10 super tiny. Tasted like ground beef with a sprinkle of jerk or curry. Overall 5/10. read more

Food was good service was fast and friendly ambiance was nice they had some good music playing. Definitely worth it I definitely recommend this spot read more

Not sure what all the hype is about. This Caribbean wasn't Caribbean-ing. The jerk isn't real jerk, and the Rasta pasta is missing the Rasta. Being Guyanese I would like to think I know about good food and this ain't it. More like spicy bbq and, pasta, and the patty wasn't good either. The service is outstanding and the vibe is cool. But the food...I would never come back read more

Ordered from Doordash and the food was excellent. Great portion size. The jerk chicken was so flavorful. Also ordered the trap juice and Rasta pasta. Everything was so tasty, would definitely order again. read more

Big pice of chicken there was no flavor in the rice the sauce was like extremely spicy you couldn't enjoy it the mac and cheese was a 10/10 other than that 3/10 read more

Amazing shrimp plate. The oxtail was plastic fork tender, but very mildly seasoned, not carribean-level seasoned.

Indescribably good food but I'm going to try. The chicken and beef empanadas were fantastic; crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. They are not too spicy but full of flavor. I so enjoyed the fall off the bone oxtail stew with tender plantains and rice, all flavored to perfection. There was a tender leaf mango and tomato salad with hints of orange bell pepper. I ate it up. Also a spicy shrimp and rice combo accompanied by the most flavorful lima beans ever. I ate so hard that I left utensil marks on my plate! I'm still smiling a big toothy grin and canceling foodie trips to New Orleans and Houston because we've got quality Afro-Caribbean cuisine right here in Austin! Thank you Dante, Alvin, and all the exceptionally friendly staff at Traphouse ATX. Blessings! read more

I love this place! I always feel welcome when me and my friends go and it's become a regular when we want to get together with good vibrations read more

I am from Jamaica and I can say that the food here is definitely authentic Jamaican/Caribbean. We wanted to try several dishes so we ordered the Escovich fish, the oxtail, the curry goat, fried plantain, collared greens and all were outstanding. This is definitely my go to spot for Caribbean food whenever I'm in the Austin area. The Traphouse juice was also very good. Very unusual that you actually get one free refill on the juice that I don't see anywhere else. read more

This is NOT authentic jerk chicken. It's essentially BACKED CHICKEN WITH jerkers sauce. The chicken was flavored well but well beyond what would be considered jerk. Also obe never had jerk food other balasamti rice, which I love BTW. read more

We dropped in for an early pre-theatre dinner on a Saturday evening. Loud music, just a few other customers, we were able to order right away and get a seat easily. We ordered oxtail and a three taco (jackfruit, shrimp and chicken) plate. Everything was really good. The oxtail was rich and hearty and spicy - it came in a take-out box, which was useful since we had plenty to take home. The plantain and cabbage sides were a great accompaniment. The tacos were very good too - we got them on corn tortillas, which were soft but crisped up on the griddle. All were flavorful in their own unique ways. It would have been nice if the taco plate came with one side, maybe... We also got one beef patty. Very flavorful, but would have preferred it being baked rather than deep fried. All in all, an excellent meal. Bonus - there was an event going on next door with some folks wearing the most amazing outfits with sky-high sparkly stilettos. We had an awesome time people-watching while we waiting for our food. read more

Best food stay open until 2 and the vibe is killer love it and the first impression ! read more

I have searched for years...since I relocated here...for Caribbean food that reminded me of home. I've finally found it. The oxtails are to die for and those pattys...sweet Jesus!!! read more

The food taste so good! It was worth every penny. It's definitely a great place to try

Food isn't worth the price, it's at a club so you'll have to wait a while for your food.

This was honestly a disappointing experience. The food was overpriced for the mediocre level of attention that was taken to making the food. I have never eaten Jamaican/Caribbean food that was so unflavored and under seasoned. The oxtail was barely spiced on a bed of plain white rice. The plantains were under riped. The 'jerk' chicken was covered in a layer of barbecue sauce. To top it off, we did not receive the correct pattys (a weird cheese and spinach mix instead of beef; it literally wasn't even a menu item so I don't know how they messed that up. The food was delayed and after reaching out to the business owner, they were not direct in answering questions and didn't attempt to take ownership for a subpar meal overall (they said they would reach out to the owner, who in fact was them). I have had food from this place before and the drop in quality was stunning. I wouldn't be so disappointed with this experience had it not cost over $50. I'm all about supporting black businesses but I would not recommend this. read more
