What People Are Saying About Reggae Hut

In Short – The management of the legendary Breakfast Klub now operate this Third Ward landmark offering uniquie and delicous Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine. The decor is vibrant and lively, with a Jamaican flag, photos of Bob Marley and mismatched tables that help keep things casual. At night, an aura of romance develops, with flickering candles and the fresh smells of curry, jerk seasoning and seafood wafting from the kitchen. Top dishes include spiced chicken, goat and whole snapper.

Reggae Hut Was Disappointing

by napmcw

After reading all of the reviews for Reggae Hut, I was excited to try their food. I’m not an expert in Jamaican cuisine, but have had wonderful curry chicken & jerck (Citysearch will not allow me to spell it how it should be spelled because it thinks it's an inappropriate word) chicken at other establishments (so I had something to compare it to). We went for dinner on a weekday around 7:00pm. I was completely and utterly stunned by how unappetizing the curry chicken was. My husband had the jerck chicken and it too did not meet our expectations. They do have large portion sizes, but our chicken was mostly huge cross sections of bone with very little meat. The rice and beans were dry and bland and the vegetable medley was also pretty bland. The curry chicken didn’t really taste like it had been seasoned with curry or any other spices for that matter and my husband’s jerck chicken was so over-spiced that it made it inedible. We also tried the meat patty. It was dry and cakey-not sure what others are raving about. It was $30 for two chicken dishes, sides and two iced teas (not what I consider reasonably priced for the quality of food they are serving). Needless to say it was a huge let down. We will not return to Reggae Hut.

  • Pros: Cant think of any

Authentic Carribean

by shammy123

Growing up in a Caribbean family i can say the food is pretty authentic. But at the same time, from island to island the food is different, so you really have to go on taste. I can say their food tastes great. It's not always consistent, but for some reason they always give you a lot. A usual $9 Jerrk chicken meal would feed me and my wife with leftovers to spare. I would suggest it if you are in this developing area of town.

One thing is street parking is dangerous and parking in the back can be scary at times, but it's really an okay place to park.

  • Pros: Portion Size and Taste
  • Cons: Parking

Closed weekends. Call first. I think they are open only Monday through Friday so check before you go down that way...

i had:

fruit punch/juice $2.25 - tasted ok

sweet tea $2.25 - tasted ok (they did have jamaican sodas in bottles but didnt try them)

jerk-chicken $9.99 - meat was dry, very brown/black too much seasoning but not enough flavor, as if they used old seasoning and not spicy at all

brown stew chicken $8.99 - meat was better but still dry, flavor was good

beef pattie - $2.25 each - tasted ok...cant really screw this up

plantains -$2.25 for small side - tasted ok

cocoa bread - $2 for one (size of two fists) tasted just like a dinner roll but very dense

service was good, the lady at the counter was very nice, offered us free samples of the drinks to try...

will i go back? probably not

  • Pros: homestyle, large portion
  • Cons: price, closed weekends
