What Dre V doesn't like about Tru Jamaica:
My husband so excited to try this place so we stopped on our way to Austin. I wish we didn't. The customer service was good, but they need to hire more front staff. The guy taking orders was also the host, waiter, bartender, and whatever else. He did keep his cool though. Nice guy. I had the beef patty and curry goat plate. The beef patty was ok. The curry goat was meh. DESPERATELY NEEDED SALT! SALT! SALT!!!! SALT!!... View all feedback. What Sloan Snodgrass likes about Tru Jamaica:
Tru Jamaican was amazing! The food was great, staff friendly, and atmosphere was light and casual. We were in town for a quick pick up and mapped food places. A little off the main road, but definitely worth it! Thank y?all, we will tell everyone and be back! View all feedback.
