    The food truck
    Ashley R.

    Man oh man, fabulous! You are in for a treat here. I've only ordered the jerk chicken and it is full of flavor. It has a kick for those who don't do spice well. My partner tried it (his family is Jamaican) and agreed how delicious it was. The portion size is decent. I feel a bit bias because I'm pregnant and always want more chicken. Make sure to order your patties and coco bread! They are quick too. You can expect your meal to be ready in about ten- fifteen minutes if that! The vibes are right and we will definitely be back (already have gone back to back weekends).

    Curry Chicken, Plantains, Oxtail
    Ela D.

    This place is absolutely amazing. I tried the Curry Chicken and a little bit if Oxtail with a Tropical Rhythms juice and I was floored by how incredible every single thing was. The curry chicken is tender and flavorful. This is a picture of the "small" portion. This is easily two meals for me. It's the best chicken dish I've had in longer than I can remember. The oxtail just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. Braised to perfection, seasoned so well I'm probably going to dream about it tonight. The veggies and rice and plantains: Holy crap. I don't even like rice and I am going to clean my plate (eventually after getting through the leftovers. Seriously, the portions are huge!) Finally, the owner is such a kind, funny, awesome dude! And he makes a damn fine punch! Don't sleep on this place, you HAVE to try it

    Best Jamaican food I have ever had in my life. I'll be back many times. If you ever open up a brick and mortar restaurant that would be amazing!

    Chicken Patties

    Why haven't you ate here yet is the real question. The food is on point!! Everything is homemade and you can tell. Never had a chicken patty before...let's just say I had to buy another one before I pulled off. Will probably be back every weekend cause why not?!

    It's our first time to try this place. It smells delicious. I had the small jerk chicken. It was delicious!! Ask for the hot pepper sauce from Jamaica... it really adds to the flavor!

    Jerk Chicken Meal
    Jamie D.

    Pretty good serving for the price. The plantains were done well, but the jerk chicken wasn't as fall off the bone tender as I wished. I also wasn't a huge fan of the jerk chicken seasoning. It was more on the spicier side than flavorful side.

    It's a cute little food bus!

    Located in a very shady food truck park. The food was superb and priced very well. I had the curried goat and it was amazing. Also loved the plantains and Jamaican soda. Perfect spot with lots of shade too.

    Always excellent customer service, nice Jamaican music to set the vibe. Great food 10/10

    Jerk chicken - Lg portion
    Allison T.

    It was my first time trying Jamaican food and oh my goodness it was delicious! I ordered the large portion of the Jerk Chicken meal. It is so flavorful and has a nice kick to it without it being overwhelming. It came with rice and peas, fried plantains and steamed veggies (cabbage, carrot, etc.) I definitely would order from here again. The man helping me called me sweetheart which made me feel special

    Beef Patties

    I've been looking for good Jamaican chicken for the longest & I've tried 2 other places in Austin but this is my new favorite! I found it by a quick search and saw how close it was to me and decided to stop by and try it after reading some reviews. The owner was wonderful and the food here is amazing! The jerk chicken was falling off the bone, the plantains were sweet and yummy, and the rice & peas were the best! I will definitely be coming here regularly now! Highly recommend!

    I was so happy to see a new food truck opening near our neighborhood! I tried the jerk chicken meal and it was delicious. The chicken was so flavorful, tender and moist. The food came out piping hot and tasted fresh. The owners are super nice, I wasn't sure if the jerk chicken would be too spicy for my two year old daughter and they gave me a sample to try before ordering. My daughter loved it too and kept asking for more. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu!

We came in to a beautifully decorated space with a colorful and vibrant aesthetic. They recommended we order to appetizers, two mains and two sides to share but each of us were feeling very different dishes. I ordered the pepper shrimp which had the right amount of heat and fish rundown which while okay on its own needed a rice or roti to eat with it. I was excited to try to the cabbage and was not sure about the raisins. The server told me it was just a topping and that they can put it in the side (which I asked for). The cabbage not only came out much later than the rest of the food, it had raisins mixed in and ended up being the worse dish. They took it off our bill but definitely felt misguided. Also, it got really loud in the restaurant and was hard to hear my colleagues at the table, so be mindful of that when making a reservation.

    Came here for an early dinner on a Tuesday, I was the only patron. My food came out within a few…read moreminutes of my ordering it. I went for a regular oxtail plate with gungo rice and plantains. Overall I liked it! The oxtail was tender and delicious, the sauce had a nice mix of smoke, sweetness, and a tiny bit of heat. For a regular (as opposed to their large) size plate it felt like a good amount of oxtail I thought based on the description the gungo rice would have a more prominent coconut taste but it was pretty typical Jamaican peas and rice. The star of the plate was the oxtail and the sides don't really factor into my review unless it really stands out in one direction or the other Overall I'd definitely recommend giving them a try and will absolutely be back here to try more of their menu

    I have been wanting to try Bikkle Jamaican Restaurant for some time now. Friends were coming into…read moretown and wanted Jamaican food. Ding ding!!! We decided to eat at Bikkle, close to the University of Texas at Austin on Guadalupe Street. Bikkle is known for its authentic Jamaican cuisine such as jerk chicken, oxtails (hard to find anywhere anymore) and curry goat. Between the four of us, we ordered jerk chicken, curry goat, and curry chicken. We all went for red beans and rice with cabbage. All dishes came with plantain, which is one of my favorites. Having been to Jamaica a couple of times, I can report out that this food is authentic! The flavors were swirls of goodness in every bite. The food was also warm when served. We also ordered jerk chicken egg rolls. Just think about that concept for a minute. The jerk chicken egg rolls were exceptionally good. The highlight for me was the curry goat. First, you do not find goats on many menus. The curry goat was tender and oh so flavorful. Some pieces had associated fat. All in all, everyone was happy with their meals. During our dinner, only one person was serving customers. She was super friendly and personable. I must think she was overworked as the stream of customers came in. Now for the décor...if you walked in and looked only at the counter, you would have thought it was a "to go" restaurant only as many "to go" containers were stacked high on the counter. Only one other couple sat down and ate in the restaurants and most folks were picking up their food to go. Even the people eating inside the restaurant were served in "to go" containers. The inside is minimalist with no ornate furnishings and yellow walls, projecting a Caribbean feel. Recommend adding a bit more Jamaican artifacts such palm trees, Jamaican flag, surfboard, etc. It would be a great spot for students, friend meet ups and a causal date night... Bikkle Jamaican Restaurant it was great and represented authentic Jamaican food well! We definitely will be returning.

We thought the place was closed, because there was no one in the front either. We ordered the jerk chicken wing that came with 4 pieces and my husband ordered their jerk pork. Both regular. Plus a bottled water at $2; total came out to be ~$42 with tip. Plate came with the meat with plenty of jerk sauce, seasoned rice with beans, steamed veggies, and 2 plantains on top. It was a bit on the saltier side. The rice was seasoned and the veggies were good. The jerk sauce however, was really spicy. So spicy that it made my lips turn into that really nice color and made my husband hiccup (but he's not very tolerant of spicy foods). My wings were cooked perfectly, like off the bone perfect. The jerk sauce itself wasn't my favorite though. It was very dark and tangy, and had one ingredient/flavor that overpowered everything else... but it could just be a personal preference at that point. We've been to 3 other jerk places in Dallas and CA, and all 3 places had their own take on the jerk sauce, which tasted pretty similar so we were used to that. The jerk sauce in Dallas, though, is more on the sweeter side, like they put bbq sauce in it or something. Overall, definitely seemed like more people came for take out instead of sitting in. The workers came off a little unfriendly and customer service could use a little work. A customer came in while we ate our food and he waited a good few minutes and had to ring the bell in order to get someone to help him out.

    Ah, Tony's Jamaican Food hit the spot! I was searching for a great Jamaican restaurant, and more…read morethan a few popped up on Yelp. I went back and forth because I thought Tony's was closed today. But after checking again, I realized there are two locations. This location is open on Mondays. The other one is not, but you always have this location on Monday, which is really great. One reason is that after I ate my oxtails, rice, cabbage, and plantains, I realized I would need a location that is always open. Not to get ahead of myself, I walked inside and instantly felt the island vibe of beautiful Jamaica. I took it all in before ordering. The oxtails were the most tender I've had, with a lot of flavor. I should call this dish the most flavorful dish I've ever had. Every item on my plate had a lot of flavor. The rice alone should have its own spot on the menu. It's not always that you find a place that puts as much effort into the rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains as they put into the oxtails. But this place did. This was the real rice and peas that go with oxtails, not some made-up version. The plantains were highly favored; they weren't mushy, they had a firmness and a sweet and savory taste. Now the hostess wasn't friendly at all. I'm still wondering what kind of interaction that was. Of course, I was asking her about the menu, and she just stared at me. It was the strangest thing. To make sure this was happening, I brought up the other location, and she stared, her head tilted. She honestly mumbled one word, and I really don't know what that could have been. So that made me feel uncomfortable.
