Reggae Grill

I’ve been looking for a place here in Charleston where I could find good Jamaican food. Stumbled across this place as its close to work. Typically, I crave jerk chicken, however since visiting Jamaica, my craving is oxtails. These oxtails taste just like the ones I had IN JAMAICA off the resort. I’ve been back numerous times. The front counter staff are friendly. I usually get the small for $ 10. The cabbage is mixed with other veggies, which I didn’t prefer-​so I usually opt out of that. My coworkers have tried the jerk chicken and said its good!

Omg! Delicious! I ordered oxtails with cabbage and peas. The cabbage was so good I can’t wait to go back next week to get more and order curry goat. I haven’t had authentic Jamaican food in years & I will be back.

Stopped in for lunch with my moms for lunch on Friday afternoon. As mentioned, no need to check out the menu, whats available for the day is on the dry erase board behind the counter. We ordered the oxtails and the jerk chicken along with a couple of beef patties.
The oxtails were on POINT. The jerk chicken was ok. Unfortunately it was mostly bone, but it wasnt chicken bones, so they must mix the jerk chicken in with something else maybe? Im not sure. Im not averse to mixing it up. Since I was a kid, Ive been mixing everything together on my plate, so its all good, but just a note. The plantains were on the stiff side, and the veggie mix was ok, although it would have preferred if it was just cabbage.
We used to live in Brooklyn, and there was a beef patty stand down the street from our place. Frequenting it when living in NY, her nose is kind of turned up at beef patties that arent on the money, and she loved em’. They didnt have the veggie or chicken patties available, but I look forward to going back to give them a try.
Definitely a place I would stop by again if on that side of town. And there really aren’t that many places to get good Caribbean soul food in Charleston, so worth a visit if in the mood for it.

This place is pretty good. Tried the beef pairles, curried goat, and jerk chicken. Taste was great, including rice. Authentic food. My only personal dislike is having chopped meat with bones; just makes it a bit tedious. But it’s good, authentic food. Give it a try.

I’ve been looking for a place serving up Jamaican food forever and finally found it. I heard about this place through word of mouth and stopped in for lunch one day. It’s in an interesting part of town but I had no problems and the store is nice, bright, and clean inside. Their menu changes daily so just double check what they are serving that day. I’ve had curry goat one visit and oxtails on my second. Oxtails were ok but the curry goat was delicious. Coworkers got jerk chicken and were satisfied. You definitely get a full belly eating here. Also, they deliver orders over $ 30 and the delivery guy is great!

The ox tails were really good. Also the goat was OK just had to watch for the bones. Great prices.

The beef patty, jerk chicken, oxtail, and red snapper we’re great. Devon and his staff are doing Jamaican food the right way. The restaurant is not in the nicest places but is well worth the adventure. Everything is Irie here.

Stopped in for lunch and found the Reggae Grill to be a great find. It is clear that most of the food is made with love. The available dishes are on a white board at the counter — do not bother with the menu. Jerk chicken, curry chicken and oxtails were available as well as beef pies. We ordered jerk chicken and oxtails. They only take debit (literally must punch in passcode) or cash. The nice ladies at the counter recommended buying a drink as the food is spicy. Great idea! The food arrived to our table very fast. Unfortunately, the beef pie was just not good. It was clearly pre-​frozen and had a yucky piece of gristle on my first bite. Definitely skip this. I ordered a small jerk chicken and my friend got the large oxtails. There was not much difference in the size of the plates however. Mine had delicious bone-​in chicken (a leg and a thigh) smothered in rich, spicy, sticky sauce served with a side of rice, cabbage and a piece of plantain. My friends oxtails were plentiful with slightly more rice, cabbage and a few more plantains. I love the rice! It is spiced with cinnamon and clove. The chicken rocked. The cabbage was tasty and the plantain was a nice touch. My friend enjoyed the oxtails — not my bag though.
This was a great deal for $ 7 (small) and $ 10 (large), I couldn’t finish my meal, but I definitely tried. I would go back to try the curry and brown stew. Great little place, nice service! Go early because I hear they can run out of food come dinnertime — it is just that good.
