Ordered over the phone, they asked for my card. Then when I arrived asked for the card again, then it took 30+ minutes and they forgot patties, and when I called they left me on hold til it closed. Unprofessional, food is mid, and they owe me $12 for them patties. read more

Good food! One of my favorite places to eat. Glad to have the restaurant in the neighborhood.

I love the Bob Marley mural. The place was packed on Saturday afternoon. I didn't know it was the re-grand opening. I don't think they anticipated the huge turnout. Happy for them and understand there will be a few kinks when the demand is higher than the supply. They will be successful. I wish them the best because it's something the community wanted in this area. I ordered the chicken jerk chicken and the beef patty to go. It was good. I would definitely go again. read more

Good food. Service is terrible. They are happy to charge and not include all the items they charge you for. Rude service. Beware.

Birria oxtail tacos with butter beans. Comfort food for the soul. Spinach rice is fresh and tasty, I have to try the jerk shrimp plantain cups when I come back. Clean, fast friendly service, (all while a table of 28 was present) drinks on point. Nice price. Good job!! They work well as a team. read more

Short and sweet: Ordered lunch to go. The ladies at the bar were super sweet and friendly while I waited. Jerk chicken - Delicious. Just the right amount of heat. Rice and peas - Also great, ample portion Cabbage - surprisingly good as I'm not usually a fan of cabbage Festival - subtly sweet and a nice way to end the meal I will be back! read more

I've never been to an establishment where I couldn't send back a drink I was dissatisfied with. I barely took a sip, yet the manager refused to let me exchange it, claiming it would "waste product." If you visit here, be prepared not to exchange anything you're unhappy with. I won't be coming back. read more

My life is complete. LOL. I know that's a bit dramatic but as far as finding Jamaican food goes in this area it's how I feel. I went there for the first time today and I ordered beef patties, jerk chicken and jerk pork and they all tasted AMAZING. Service was great. Ambience perfect. Decor beautiful. I can't wait to come back for a night out with friends and try the drinks. I honestly thought it was more of a to-go spot but it's huge and really nice. Only thing missing was Ting!!! Y'all... please get some. Now I don't have to continue wondering about when I can go back to my home state and eat at my fave Jamaican spot. This place IS IT! No pics.... Food is gone :-) read more

Drinks are horrible and bartender refused to exchange for another. Service was good shout out to Victoria MVP. FOOD took to long to be so mid. read more

I was a little disappointed but I'm a tough critic as my Dad is Jamaican! I tried the oxtails over Mac and cheese and wasn't thrilled. The oxtail was cut in half horizontally, which meant I got an oxtail and a half for a juicy fee! Wasn't as tender as I'm used to and nothing special about Mac and cheese. I'll go back to try the muli offer plate that has a variety of things to try (jerk chicken, curry, rice and peas, etc). I will say my Dad enjoyed his red fish with the eyes and all! read more

I wanted to like this place so much and it pains me I can't even give a 5 star review..but it truly isn't deserved. Service- Abysmal. We went on Saturday at around 7:30. While the restaurant was "busy" it wasn't busy enough to warrant waiting 30 minutes for water, an alcoholic beverage and an hour and 10 minute wait time for food. Our waiter, while nice was just unattentive. It made me not even want to tip at the end of the meal. The ambiance is cool. Music slightly loud but nothing unmanageable. I don't have any complaints on that. The food- It was good. I had the jerk chicken and my date had the jerk pork. She has no complaints and enjoyed the pork. The chicken while good was just small portions in my opinions and I felt like I could have cracked a few teeth with all the bones in the meat left the way they were. I had to be very cautious in the way I ate it. So fair warning- check and double check before you take a bite and chew slowly! Overall I was excited to try this place but I honestly don't know if I will ever come back. It was not a good first experience. read more

I literally just bought an oxtail and Rasta pasta meal tonight. I was extremely excited to find this spot as I just moved from Brooklyn, NY two months ago. Extremely disappointing that the food was extremely salty!!! Inedible salty!!! read more

Authentic Caribbean cuisine! Absolutely phenomenal food, service, and the restaurants ambience will transport you from McKinney, TX to the islands! You can't go wrong here! read more

Food is good. Services sucks, and the menu is misleading. Probably won't be coming back.

They are happy to charge you and not include all the items paid for. This was for a pick up order. Careless service. When you call them, they ask you to inconveniently return with the receipt to verify their error, in a very rude manner. Careless service, rude service. Beware. read more

I love this place. We went to Jamaica back in December and had the chance to have authentic jerk chicken as well as rice and peas. Ever since we got back from our trip I felt like I needed to find a spot I could get to with close to the same taste as I had in Jamaica. As a matter of fact, I might drop by tomorrow for lunch. I also noticed no matter what day or time I drop by there, they have some good business. Dope spot right there in McKinney. read more

We came on a Sunday night, not a lot of people in there and the service was still so slow. We came because of the Haitian section advertised on the menu but we disappointed to find that they were not serving ANY Haitian food. Before we ordered food it took forever to get drinks and they dropped our drinks off one at a time- 5 mins for a lemonade, 10 mins for a bottles pineapple ginger drink, and almost 20 for a Mai Tai. Since we were already there and hungry we got the conch fritters, curry chicken, and Saltfish & Ackee. 4/10- Conch Fritters: had good flavor but were undercooked and doughy in the middle. 7/10- Curry Chicken: the chicken was actually really good, however the sides were terrible. The rice and beans had no flavor, they put two smalllllll pieces of sweet plantain, and the cabbage needed salt. 0/10- Saltfish & Ackee: this was not edible. It was served lukewarm warm and was mashed up with a texture of baby food. It came with ONLY 4 pieces of fried plantain. We only took a couple of bites and were instantly nauseous. We should have known better when we noticed that the menus said "No refunds or exchanges" read more

Had jerk chicken to go. It was amazing! Will definitely return. Lady at the bar was very friendly. read more

Reggae Jerk Hut - Jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - McKinney, Texas

My rating is generous only because the waitress was really nice. This is a cute, quaint place but the food is nothing to rave about. The drinks were weak and watered down. I had the flight and only the coconut drink was ok. We had "jerk" chicken which seems like it was oven baked and it was not good. The curry shrimp was good and the callaloo was good. The description of the restaurant is accurate it's Caribbean inspired but not authentic read more

Was excited to come to this place ... then when I came in and saw only 3 tables sitting I should Have been prepared to expect what was next... greater was nice accommodating my request for a booth... then when I sat it took 10 mins to be brought water ... then I ordered food... took another 20 mins then I had a emergency phone call and had to pay and get ready to leave... then I wait and other 20 - 25 min just for my food to be bagged up and taken to me in my car ... also know even know it say entrees come with rice cabbage and sweet plantains that is not the case you have to pay almost 15$ to 20$ for those extra sides even tho the menu says other wise ... I understand if it was busy or at full capacity then I would be more understanding... service has to match the food or it's just annoying... read more

Be prepared to wait! The music was matched the atmosphere but simply too loud to have a conversation without struggling to hear one another at the table. The chicken and waffles were ok but a bit over priced. read more

Reggae Jerk Hut - Spicy fried chicken and waffles - Caribbean Near Me - McKinney, Texas

1st off. When we walked in the place, the music was so loud, which makes everyone talk even louder, we immediately almost walked out. Do you want to be a club or a restaurant? When you can't hear what your waiter is asking you less than a foot from your face, that means THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD!!!! Your customers shouldn't have to scream at each other in order to be heard. 2nd. The host. Wasn't at her post, and when she did she proceeds to sit there in front of everyone eating as if she's a customer. WTH?? How tacky can you be. Take your break in the break room. 3rd. We sat almost 10mins waiting for our order to be taken, and when our waitress finally came she apologized saying "I was trying to get y'all some clean cups"... Place isn't that big, how you ain't have enough clean cups ready? You almost lost customers because of not being prepared. 4th Food is average. We would come back if the environment was better. But average food+average service+club like environment= won't be back! read more

So, I live extremely close to this restaurant and was patiently waiting for it to open. I went to the soft opening one day and everyone was very nice. I'm a vegetarian, so I ordered the mac and cheese, cabbage, and festival bread to go. I thought the food was very good, maybe the cabbage could have used more seasoning, but I walked away definitely with every intention to return. Which brings me to this evening. I walk in at around 8:30. Most of the tables were full, they seemed pretty busy. No worries, as I wanted to just have a cocktail and order my food to go. I sit down at the bar, and I'm the only customer. There's about 3 people behind the bar. The bartender, a young lady, looks at me then turns around and loudly declares "UGH I NEED A BREAK" I was like umm okay? Nobody greeted me, nobody offered me a menu, I was met with complete disdain. 7 minutes into me sitting at the bar and being ignored, a couple sits at the bar and is greeted IMMEDIATELY. By multiple people. Maybe they're regulars? Idk. But it was actually so bizarre. A nice gentleman, who was most likely a server, finally offered me a menu. 10 minutes later, the bartender finally acknowledges my presence. With the most bored look on her face, she asks me how I'm doing and says she'll be with my in a minute, then ROLLS HER EYES. I kid you not lmfao. At that, I just grabbed my bag and walked out. I work in customer service, so I get feeling exhausted at the end of a shift or feeling overwhelmed. But I watched multiple people stand around behind the bar and not one person greeted me? And the bartender ignoring me for 10 mins straight but servicing others? Like what the actual f? Staff needs better training before they drive business away. Cause after tonight I would never trust someone like that to handle my food. read more

Food didn't have much flavor, got the jerk chicken and it just tasted like the store rub. Rice and peas were alright. Service only came by our table twice after waiting for my food for an hour. On a positive note the DJ played good music and the drinks were strong asf. read more

The food always comes out hot and fresh! Marsha the owner is super cool and In love how int tune she is with her Haitian culture! I left out of there stuffed and ready to go to bed!! read more

Horrible service. We were e not seated placed an order for sinks and appetizers first and after waiting 30 minutes out never came not did anyone come and check or update is on our order- that we never received!!! Didn't even get water!!! read more

Yep had to at least try a beef patty. Saw this a lot dropping my kid off at Pilates next door. I wasn't hungry but want a snack! Walked in to a welcoming atmosphere and a dj. Will be back to watch a game or 2 and a cocktail! read more

I was hoping for the best. Been looking for a good jerk spot for awhile, stumbled on RJH. It was another disappointing experience. I'm wanting authentic, taste the Caribbean seasoning jerk. I ordered the jerk dinner listed for $17.99, thought it was a good deal as it came with rice/beans and steamed cabbage and plantains. Sat for 20-25 minutes until the girl behind the bar come to me and say it's no more beans and rice for the next 45 minutes. Mind you this was at noon and they open at like 11:00a/11:30. After waited so long, I requested chicken only and this is what I got. I paid $11.99 for this and it was thigh pieces, I would say two small thighs cut up at the least, no leg whatsoever. I will not be going back. read more

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place, we came around 7 pm on Sunday and they close at 9 pm. We were seated and waited 30 minutes looking at the menu, being patient, and no one came to our table or helped us. A few of the people workers were just standing and talking this whole time. We just walked out and went somewhere else because we were hungry. They were not busy whatsoever, it was really quiet in there. Just two other tables were seated being helped/eating. Was just strange and really disappointing. read more

So I went here on a Tuesday afternoon and it wasn't as busy but the customer service and the food was amazing. I had the opportunity of having the honey barbecue jerk wings right along side with a coconut martini, and I also had some of the deep fried dumplings with oxtail sauce, and then I also had a jerk chicken plate with the black rice and cabbage and everything was just a really good the owner Marsha was available and she was just taking care of everything. She was really over the top amazing she was really doing the best I highly recommend this place and again, please get the Honey barbecue jerk, chicken wings they were again top-notch. I highly recommend this place and I will be back this is my new jerk spot. Thanks Marsha for the outstanding customer service. The food was so good. I forgot to take a picture, but don't forget I will next time. read more

I always heard this place and finally got to try it. I was very impressed. The staff was friendly. The place is very clean and welcoming. The food.. it was very good. I had the oxtail Birria tacos and the Rasta pasta with shrimp and I absolutely loved it. Tasted really great just feel there could be more shrimp to the amount of pasta . That would be my only suggestion. I wanted to try some drinks, but I was driving.., so I'll do that on my next visit cause I will definitely be back and I will be recommending this place to my friends and family! read more

Easily one of my new favorite restaurants. I ordered the Curry Shrimp with rice and peas, and oxtail barria tacos. Everything is perfection...the flavors, textures, everything! I wanna try more things very soon but I also need this exact meal again even sooner. read more

We made a reservation in the morning for 1pm. Got there a little early (maybe 10min) and were not served until 2:30. By this time 3 tables had finished (2 of which got there after us). Their menu says entrees come with rice of your choice and plantains, except for their pasta entrees. Some of us got the entrees with sides, all of which were missing the plantains. When we asked, they said they'd run out. So we asked for reimbursement on the sides of plantains or get a different side, to which the manager said plantains are "complimentary" so there's nothing to reimburse/exchange. If that's the case, why don't ALL the entrees come with complimentary plantains, and why is it listed as a side for $6? It's like Texas Roadhouse charging for their complimentary rolls. Funny enough, they came with 2-piece plantain sides for the entrees a moment after...$3/plantain slice is wild. The food was good--large portions, came out hot and flavorful (except the shrimp and grits. That alone is 0/10). However, it's not worth the price, and not as good as what you could get at the Dallas Farmers Market for half the cost. Their drinks were subpar at best, heavily watered down at $13+. The piña colada had ice chunks too big to use a straw, so I had to water it down further by letting the ice melt a bit. Atmosphere was nice. The music made it hard to hear one another, but our table was close to the speakers so that's understandable. Altogether, the food is what made this a 1-star experience. Otherwise it would be worthy of a zero. read more

1. Jerk Chicken was not jerk chicken no seasoning or flavor. The serving was parts of leg quarter not even a whole leg quarter, and pieces of the back of a thigh. The cabbage / white rice undercooked with clumps. 2. Curry Chicken was not jamaican it was more on the Indian side of taste, it was not the chief curry powder. The plantains and the Haitian Rice was ok. I was very disappointed in the overall taste of the food. The presentation of the food was very good, ambiance of the restaurant is very nicely done Lastly the price point is a little high for the very little amount of food that is being give. read more

My family & I made a reservation on Father's Day for 1pm, we got there around 12:45pm & was seated right away. The place was busy so I could understand having to wait a bit for our food to come out but I didn't think we'd be waiting for over an hour.. only for some of it to be wrong. Good thing the DJ was there to keep us entertained or we probably would've left. Once that issue was resolved the food was actually pretty good - tasty, fresh & decent portions. The menu called out plantains which we didn't receive. Once I asked the waiter for some he said they were out & they're actually complementary. We should've been made aware of that to begin with & if it's complementary why even put it on the menu? Overall, the food was good but the 3 stars is for the service.. read more

Before I even begin, thank God for Jodeci. This is my first time dining in at this restaurant, and let me just say... I don't know if I'll be back. As good as the oxtail tacos are, the service alone will be the reason they lose customers. While we were sat immediately, we waited 25 minutes to order. Once we were approached by 1 of the 4 servers, whose name we do not know, she acted as if she had not previously walked past us 5 times asking if we'd been helped yet. After that it took a good 20 minutes to get one of the drinks ordered at the table. After we ordered food and drinks, it took us 40-45 minutes to get our food. The second drink never arrived, instead it was taken to another table by our server. We then asked about the drink twice, she acted shocked about us not receiving it and then never returned. When we still had not revived the drink, we opted for a Pepsi. Which we asked 2 different people for 5 times. Finally we met Jodeci, in the last 15 minutes of our dining experience. Who we only needed to ask once, and he kindly and urgently brought the Pepsi. The cocktail flight I ordered was terrible. The oxtail birria tacos were good. The oxtail dinner was fatty. Plantains were not sweet and undercooked. Overall, this was a poor customer service experience in a restaurant that has really amazing food. Decor, nice. Unfortunately the servers, except for Jodeci, should probably reevaluate their choice of employment. read more

First off let me say the bartender Ebony was awesome. The food was great and smelled amazing. The drinks were good. I really enjoyed the vibe and the music. The food tho, the flavor was everything. The portion was bigger than the picture showed which I enjoyed. Definitely check them out. read more
