    Jerk Chicken, Oxtails, Rice, Cabbage, and Plantains
    Joshua E.

    I ordered from here specifically for the ox tails. I was craving ox tails and I'd heard that they were black owned so I had to try it. The jerk chicken stole the show. It wasn't spicy but the flavor was great! The Ox tails were pretty good. Not quite what I was expecting from ox tails but still good. I'd eat them again. The 2 small slices of plantains that were included weren't bad but I wouldn't say they were good either. When I opened the food up, I was initially upset that it was only 2 slices. After trying them, I didn't mind. The rice was eh, until I tried it with the sauce/roux from the ox tails. That made the rice taste great! I wish I had more of it to drizzle over all of the rice. The cabbage was better than expected and I wish that I'd been given more of that instead of the plantains. The price was a bit steep but I did order it through Uber Eats, so it was kind of expected. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone in the area. (Especially the jerk chicken)

    Food and service was good. Price was a bit high for amount of food. Not somewhere you go for ambiance, but more a laid back casual vibe.

    I ordered the combination meal (oxtail and jerk chicken), and it did not disappoint! The dish came with rice, a side of cabbage and plantain - I opted for the rice and peas, though they had two other options available, Both the oxtail and chicken were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. Every bite was packed with authentic Jamaican spices and seasonings. Even though I got my order to go, the food was fresh and hot. For about $28, the portion size and quality were well worth it. The service was also fast. Took less than 5 mins to get my order ready Highly recommend this place if you're craving delicious Jamaican food! Will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

    In town and looking for food options, they pop up as a good place to try. So we did! So, the service was BLAND. They seemed dry and uninterested to be at work. We ordered the oxtail and jerk chicken dinners. At 3pm on a Friday, they had run out of cabbage. HOW??? A signature side for a jerk place, and you're out at 3pm. WOW... I got a double rice. My food was fresh, and hot oxtails were very tender, but I didn't care for the gravy. It seemed like a lot of worcestershire sauce was used, and it was heavy on the taste. The restaurant was clean and spacious. I'm not from here, so if I ever come back to Austin, I wouldn't come here.

    The jerk chicken plate is the tastiest dish I've had in awhile. It's smokey and flavorful and you'll be licking that rub off your fingers and eating all the meat in the crevices and bones. If your not a hands on eater you will miss out. The plate came with rice and plantains a nice contrast to the jerk chicken. I opted for the goat curry gravy. It was nice and spicy. As for heat level it's persistent but good. There's a sweet dipping sauce that comes with the plate to keep your taste buds on top shape. I thought the price was pretty fair given the portion size. If your a light eater it can easily be two portions or if your like me and you like to eat it was a decent portion without having leftovers.

    I've been here many times since I first discovered this restaurant a couple of years ago. This is the best Jamaican restaurant in the area as far quality and service! I've eaten many of their entrees and they're all really good. The oxtails are delicious! You get big pieces and a heaping amount of rice and red beans or rice and gungo rice peas. The oxtails is well flavored and the gravy is scrumptious! I highly recommend this entree! I've also had the brown stew chicken which is always delicious with it's unique flavor and gravy you can go wrong with tenderly and very tasty chicken. One of my favorites it the jerk chicken. It's well seasoned not too spicy, but the accompanying jerk sauce adds a nice savory mix to the flavor. I did have curry goat entre but I wasn't too fond of it. It just wasnt flavorful and tensor to me. Last bit not least the Jamaican beef patties! This is definitely a go. The crust is how a Jamaican patty is supposed to be flaky. The beef is so delicious. The chicken patty is just as delicious! However please support this local eatery and enjoy the wonderful food. Don't forget to check out the Jamaican sodas and the festivals which are delicious!

    Customer service is soooo poor. The girls at the register just look at you & wait for you to place your order. There's also a stench when you first walk in but you get used to it after being inside for a while. Food was not hot, and it wasn't that great either. Portion size was small for the $47 price tag. Rice was dry and potato salad was too sweet.

    In town for AfroTech and my friends wanted to come here. It's was on my list to hit up. No regrets! A few things to note they do sell out of things. They don't offer macaroni pie or black cake. The place is clean and pretty big. Crazy to say but the people are kind! Patricia at the check out was super helpful and the cooks in the back were hard at work as some people ordered take out. Our food came out fast. I will say the jerk was not as vinegar based as I'm used too with Scotch bonnet. Oxtail sauce is a good. I will defintely be back!

    sos ke bèf with rice and peas, steamed cabbage and fried sweet plantains.

    Food is amazing the only Jamaican place I will go in ATX. "sos ke bèf" always get your food hot. It be on point every time I go here. The food is very good.

    Absolutely amazing Jamaican street food

    Absolutely amazing Jamaican street food. From the moment the smoky aroma hit my nose, I knew I was in for something special. The jerk chicken was perfectly charred with a deep, spicy rub that had just the right kick--fiery but flavorful. Every bite melted off the bone, infused with that authentic island seasoning you only get when it's cooked low and slow

    curry potatoes
    Tracey Z.

    This place has been on my list for forever and I'm glad I finally got the chance to come! It's a very simple restaurant and a good spot for lunch. I got the Curry Potatoes with Callou Rice. The potatoes were too salty in my opinion on their own so you have to eat it with rice to balance it out. The rice was really buttery. The pickled vegetables were delicious, not too sour and slightly sweet. The fried plantains were definitely the best part! Just sweet enough and not too oily. I wanted to try the Ital Stew but they were out when I came :( reading the other reviews this seems to be the case with a lot of foods.

    Best Jamaican in town. I don't recommended going anywhere else. The oxtail is my favorite with a ting and two beef patties on the side.

From speaking with Tony Jr. today, they also have a restaurant in Pflugerville. I ordered jerk chicken, which fell off the bones and came with cabbage, rice and peas and plantain. I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur. The plantain was sweet on the inside and slightly charred on the outside...perfect combination. The only improvement would have been for me to get a side of plantain. My food was delivered fast and hot. Tony Jr. was super personable and friendly. There is seating in the center of the food truck park. You hear tunes being played in the background. The food truck park is at the core of East Austin in a semi-residential area. Street parking is available for diners. I look forward to trying curry goat and oxtails and more.

I was visiting a friend in Austin and we were about to go out on the town and decided we wanted to stop and get some food. They brought me to Traphouse and I saw a posting for the Oxtail Grilled Cheese. I think it was like $18 so I was hoping it would be filling boy it was! It was a great size, had a good amount of oxtail and and it was seasoned so well! I literally have no critiques. We came on a Saturday night and there was music playing but not sure if they have a DJ on certain nights or not. It was a very chill and relaxed environment and I would definitely come back. I had some friends try their vegan patties and they really enjoyed it as well.

It was different hearing "Trap Music" from a caribbean restaurant but it fit the name perfectly. The food was amazing! We had Rasta Pasta with added oxtail, oxtail plate with sweet plantain and greens & escovitch fish with fries. All the dishes were seasoned well with nice sized portions. For drinks we had a lemon drop and I was made a rum punch which isn't on the drink menu. Shout out to RJ the new Executive Chef. He realized my first snapper wasnt up to his standard and cooked a new one for me before the first one came out. Can't wait to see what he does with the upcoming menu change.

    I'm a huge fan of authentic Jamaican food, so I was really excited to pop into Tony's this…read moreafternoon. While the kitchen definitely knows how to bring the flavor, the rest of the experience was less than exceptional. When we walked in, I asked the staff for their local favorites. I expected them to say jerk chicken, but they immediately suggested the oxtail. It felt a little bit like they were trying to clear out the fridge, but we decided to be adventurous and ordered both the oxtail and the chicken anyway. With two sodas, the total came out to about $50. The counter help seemed not overly enthusiastic about us being there, but we drove a distance to get here. The first thing we noticed was the lighting--or lack thereof. It was so darkly lit inside that it felt a bit gloomy, almost like they were trying to save on the electric bill. When our food arrived in plastic boxes, the presentation was a bit of a mystery. It looked messy and "muddy" on the plate, to the point where I didn't even snap a photo. You definitely have to trust the process here because it doesn't look like a gourmet presentation. The food does taste good. Once we closed our eyes and dove in, the kitchen totally redeemed itself. The flavors were surprisingly authentic and very close to what I love about Jamaican cooking. The meat was super tender and full of flavor, the rice was nicely seasoned, and the fried plantains were a sweet, and delicious. Tony's has a ton of potential because the chef clearly has skills. BUT, for $50, I do wish the restaurant had a bit more energy, brighter lights, and prettier plating. Personally, I feel as though their prices are a little steep for what you get. If you don't mind a super casual, dark atmosphere and messy presentation, the tasty seasoning makes it worth a try.
