Disappointed in myself that I did not take pictures as My love and I got our food to go because we have been out in Houston all day long and we're just ready to get back to our Airbnb. We got the stewed chicken and oxtails which comes with rice and peas and vegetables. We order the side of plantains which were very very good. We also ordered some of the homemade drinks which are traditional Caribbean drinks such as ginger beer and sorrel (I think that's how you spell it). They also offered other traditional Caribbean homemade drinks as well. The food came out piping hot as we had a 10 minute drive back to the Airbnb and it was still really hot and smoking. There is lots of seating there if you'd like to order in and stay with a wonderful variety of soca and reggae music. The mister is from the Caribbean and he highly recommended the food as well as the reggae Hut is operated and I presume highly owned by a member of the beautiful Caribbean. They held a conversation with one another and spoke about their hometowns so this isn't just a Houstonian creating this food it's someone who knows the culture! The staff was friendly and kind which is a big plus for me and something I definitely look for. They also have food trucks so be on the lookout for them as well.

The menu needs to be updated The food is good I got jerk shrimp , jerk chicken , and rice and peas . But I wanted some Mac n cheese and they don’t have that at all . They also don’t have ackee, salt fish, bammy, sweet potatoes pudding , coconut cake and other items known to have in a Jamaican restaurant.It’s a lot of Jamaican food this restaurant doesn’t have and it’s supposed to be a Jamaican restaurant . Coming from a Jamaican women please add more Jamaican items to the menu

I did not enjoy this place. First off, the lady who greeted us was not nice and it seems rather uninterested to be there. The energy in the restaurant on this Monday night seemed very odd and I’m not sure if that’s normal. Now onto the food, the presentation was very bad. They gave cabbage which is supposed to be chopped , but it looked like they put the whole cabbage in the bowl and let it fall apart I’m talking big large pieces and it was not good. I ordered the curry chicken and it looked like they scooped it out and dumped it on my plate, I wish I had taken a picture because it looked like slop (I hate to sound mean but it did). My partner had the jerk chicken and it was extremely spicy. You couldn’t enjoy the flavor because it was so spiced. Lastly, the rice and peas had this weird flavor like powdery or something. Both dishes with a drink we’re about $42.

Finally!!! New to the area, I’ve been in search of some good authentic Jamaican food. When I say 10/10!!! I ordered Curry goat, Rice and Peas and Cabbage with a Coco Bread and Beef Patty on the side. Listen! I had to stop midway to type this review. My plate was nice and full, Beef Patty had a great kick and nice flakiness. Not one once of disappointment in my body. There was parking in the back and I was greeted upon entry with warm smiles. Music was nice and the ambiance made me feel like, yes this is the real deal! Alright let me go finish my food. I will definitely return, most likely to try the Jerk / oxtails next!

I am so glad I finally stopped by Reggie Hut after church! This place is a gem, and honestly, the experience was made even better by their incredible staff.
I have to give a huge shout-out to Mya. She was genuinely the best! I had a bunch of questions (I'm usually indecisive!), but she didn't just give quick answers; she was super familiar with the entire menu. It was obvious she knew every dish inside and out. It made ordering feel easy!
And the food? I'm digging into it right now, and it's absolutely banging! Everything is so fresh and flavorful. I'm already planning my next visit.

So I came because the previous day this food was catered at a gathering I was at and it was delicious. So I asked where was it from .although I’m from third ward never been to reggae hut and for oxtails only soul food restaurants. Welp from now on it’s the reggae hut. The oxtails are pricey but definitely worth it! I didn’t feel bloated with greasy gravy. The oxtails had more meat than fat . Which was a plus for me. I also bought plantain and a beef meat pie. I had some left for lunch the next day . The customer service was very good! The guy Carl and the young lady with nose ring and the cashier was very polite and smiles no attitude.

My experience overall was positive. The food was flavored well. The chicken wasn’t cooked consistent; a little red on one piece. The jerk didn't seem marinated. They do offer sauce, but I didn't try that this round. The people were really nice and the atmosphere was friendly. They did struggle a bit to accommodate seating for the size of our group (14). The pressed juice was excellent! The vegetables were the talk of the table. I would recommend and would consider visiting again.

I've been looking for a Jamaican based restaurant since I moved from Brooklyn NY. This is by far the best in Houston so far👍
The food is not authentic at all. The jerk chicken looked like baked chicken. The skin wasn’t crispy and it was wet.

On October 19 I visited this restaurant hoping I get the same experience and great customer service and good food I did the previous time I come in. .. However, this time around the employees (A guy and a female ) were very unprofessional, did not give me what I wanted and told me they had no Jerk wings available. I am a visitor coming all the way from Nevada. All I wanted was a good meal for my money worth. But they did not apply any effort to accommodate my needs. They need to be retrained to make customers feel valuable.

As first time visitors we felt welcome. Service was great and staff were friendly and inviting. The food was phenomenally good. Will visit again next time we're in Houston. Thanks for the exceptional hospitality.
