"A cornerstone of the Third Ward, Reggae Hut has been making staple Caribbean meals for over 25 years. Immune from life’s daily hustle and bustle, the place practically mandates that you stay awhile. While they do a brisk takeout business, we’d rather sit in the lived-in wooden chairs while laid-back reggae tunes play in the background. The food here, including some of the best oxtail in Houston, is rich, decadent and leaves you wishing you ordered extra coco bread to soak up every morsel. And while this isn’t the spiciest Caribbean food you’ll ever have, they have an arsenal of pepper sauce that will have you doubling back to the counter for another order of sorrel tea." - Chelsea Thomas, Gianni Greene
