I arrived on a Saturday for the official grand opening. It's conveniently located right off the highway with ample parking.
For starters, the ambiance made me feel like I was back in Kingston. The decor was very welcoming and we were immediately greeted as we entered the restaurant.
I knew I was going to write this review on the newest Jamaican restaurant in McKinney so I sampled a variety of items.
My first drink was the coconut martini, made with coconut rum and vodka. The rim was trimmed with coconut and a pineapple slice.
My second drink was the Kingston Mule, made with rum, tangy lime, lemon sorbet & ginger beer. Whatever you do, DO NOT order the Pina Colada, it tasted like coconut water. Where da liquor at??????? The best three drinks at our table hands down were the zombie, rum punch and the coconut martini.
For an appetizer, my friend had the smoked honey barbecue jerk wings. He said they were flavorful with a nice kick. I had the Jamaican patty, it did not disappoint.
For our meals, I had the jerk chicken. It was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Rasta pasta with jerk chicken was equally amazing.
My only complaints were the following,
1) The service was slow;
2) My friend ordered a drink and was told that it was difficult to make, so he was asked to order something else; and
3) Some of the drinks were so watered down, they weren't worth the calories (The Dunn's River Falls, the Pina Colada and the Kingston Mule)
Reggae Jerk Hut is definitely a restaurant worth trying. The food deserves 5 stars, hands down!!!!! The drinks are a hit or miss and I would rate the service 4 out of 5 stars.
If your a fan of good food, get in your car and check it out for yourself!
