Description

This dive on the south side of town, which serves traditional Jamaican food, is now owned by the same people who own the Breakfast Klub. They specialize in spicy dishes such as jerk chicken and shrimp, curried goat and shrimp, oxtails and, of course, Jamaican patties, cocoa bread and plantains. Each dish comes with pigeon peas, rice and a veggie medley.

Short of a trip to Jamaica, the best way to experience the country's cuisine is to try the jerk chicken ($8.50) at Reggae Hut Cafe (4814 Almeda, 713-520-7171). There are several theories about the name of this dish. Some say "jerk" refers to the s... More »
Island Comfort

By Margaret L. Briggs | Thu, January 07, 1999

It was miserably cold when I first found the Reggae Hut -- one of those nasty, damp days peculiar to the Gulf Coast in December. Rain squalled from the lowering blue-gray sky, prematurely dark at four in the afternoon. We sat for a moment in t... More »
