Our Guestbook
“ I searched this area for an authentic Jamaican restaurant and we were not disappointed with Reggae pon the Grille. I had some developmental chefs with me researching Caribbean cuisine. We literally ordered everything on the menu. The atmosphere and bar area was unassuming and they played the music too loud, but the food was outstanding. Co-owners Nadine and her chef-husband were a delight. A first generation immigrant, she sat down with us for over an hour and explained every dish in detail, showed us prep techniques, and shared a few family secrets. It’s hard for me to suggest a particular dish. We enjoyed all. If you’re in this area, support this family run business. You won’t be disappointed. ”
“ What an amazing restaurant.Great food and service. The ambience was so inviting and friendly. Ava was so kind and friendly she helped me so much with everything. What an amazing time at the bar. I took pictures and videos hope you like. ”
“ I visited Florida from Michigan and wanted my favorite authentic Caribbean breakfast Aki and salt fish. After calling literally 9 different restaurants that was totally out of Aki I finally found exactly what I was looking for at this establishment. Not only did they have it but the food tasted amazing and the service was first class. I drove 28 minutes from Parkland FL to North Lauderdale and it was well worth it. I also had a chance to meet the owner and was very impressed by his enthusiasm when speaking about providing authentic Jamaican cuisine for the community in a fun and safe atmosphere. I was also impressed that they have a fully stocked bar. If you’re in the area stop in and check them out. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ I haven't been back in 4 years. We had the Mannish water soup (goat head) and it was a wonderful flavor; not too spicy. The rice and peas and oxtail was delicious. We also had the jerk chicken and I heard it was impressive. The food containers had steam coming out after Uber delivery! We will definitely order more often ”
“ Food was great. Rice & Peas love and I don't eat restaurants because they don't use coconut milk or season good. Trump's up ”
“ We came here for our family reunions brunch. The staff was amazing and they even played a special song for us. The food is awesome. And there was plenty of it!! I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. Big up Miss Ava!! ”
“ Tried here for the first time and got something simple. Pork and rice and peas with some curried gravy. Very nice. The curry was spicy but the perfect amount of spice that you wanna have in your curry. The pork was so tender. Awesome job. Will definitely return. ”
“ Went there today(Sunday). Not crowded. Ample space. Their lunch specials are very reasonable. Good portions, the food is not oily, flavourful, the server asks you if you want gravy and where. She gave me just enough gravey on my meat, because I am not a gravy lover. She was nice. You can pay with your credit card. The stew chicken and callaloo rice was lovely (even the slices of ginger with the chicken was good) and the guava and pineapple drink was great as well. Im surprised no sugar was added to the drink but cudos. The place was clean (I didnt go to the bathroom so I cant share anything on that. They seem to have live entertainment, but I'm unsure of the dates. It is a nice place for lunch. They do serve breakfast abd dinner. I highly recommend this place. They are also beside taste rite if you love patties. ”
