Tru Jamaica Restaurant - (Near Waco, TX)

5 /5 grainne dutter: Tru Jamaica Restaurant is hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Waco. The owner is very present at the restaurant and goes above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience. The food is reasonably priced especially given the fact that good authentic Jamaican food is hard to come by. I got the jerk chicken plate and the flavor was beyond delightful. I got the carrot cake for desert “to go” and that to go box didn’t make it out of the restaurant once I took a bite. I highly recommend bringing all your family and friends to eat here! You cannot beat the food, flavor, and genuine hospitality that’s provided at Tru Jamaica Restaurant.

5 /5 Izzy Veloz: Absolutely incredible. This locally owned Jamaican gem blew me away! The flavors are bold, fresh, and made with real love. The jerk chicken was perfect, the sides were seasoned just right. The whole place has that warm, home-cooked vibe. I very much recommend

5 /5 Amy Yeh: Friendly faces, great service and amazing food. We found this place back in 2020 during our Waco visit (from Houston) and have been back here every time when we pass Waco (there’s a long “break” due to a fire and then the food truck during the renovation). Very excited to see the re-opened/renovated restaurant (since early November). The chicken and beef patties are tasty, oxtail is my favorite, loves the jerk chicken and the curry goat is amazing. Strongly recommend this place to anyone who craves for Caribbean cuisine ^^

5 /5 Fallon B: This spot is a true gem! Authentic Jamaican restaurant with great customer service. The vibe is laid back and the restaurant is very clean. I ordered the curry chicken which came with rice and plantains. I also orderd a slice of cake. The Hibscus tea with ginger drink is amazing, Id stop in just for that drink! Spiciness of the food is just right and they give really good portions at a decent price. Would definitely eat here again.

5 /5 Emily Amasah: This is seriously the best Jamaican food I have ever had. Worth the drive from DFW to here. The service is friendly and personable. The manager is so kind and thoughtful and the food is out of this world. We had the jerk chicken and the redfish. Everything on the plate was delicious! Not even one thing to critique! Also the building is surprisingly beautifully decorated. A great place for any occasion, an affordable date, or just to grab a bite. I would 100% recommend to anyone!
