Huzzys Jamaican Restaurant

Cool Runnings is one of those places that feels like more than just food it feels like home. The flavors are delicious every single time. This morning I had Saltfish Cookup and with each bite I was transported back in time sitting across from my Dad eating a plate he made for me and my family. That kind of memory lives in the food here. On weekends getting a plate of Saltfish Cookup (or as I grew up calling it, Codfish) is nostalgic. Root vegetables ground you, literally. They nourish the root, steady the body, and remind you where you're from. Root vegetables are the ground provision that comes with the Saltfish. It consists of boiled green banana, boiled dumpling, and yams. It's so, so good. I've had many dishes from Cool Runnings since discovering it and it's all been good. The oxtail, curry goat, patties, rice and peas, jerk chicken, escovitch, are all full of flavor and heart. The chefs put in the work and it shows. It's not located around the corner from me by any means, but it's worth the trip because food like this isn't just about taste, it's about feeling. If you know, you know. And, if you don't, go find out.

Tonight I stayed in, ordered DD. The food was fresh, it was NOT worth $29 for this combo plate. The best flavor was from the brown stew chicken, in which I was given 3 pieces. The plate was covered w/rice. A little cabbage on top. (Cabbage was good tho) The Oxtails were tender & bland. 2nd time I’ve tried their oxtails recently after giving them a rest for a couple years. It’s been a long run, not gambling with my coins with this spot anymore…. All the best!

Stopped by here to satisfy my craving for Jamaican food. You can't go wrong with the Ox tails with rice/beans cabbage and plantains! The Jerk chicken is good also! You can seat in the lounge area next door if you want to enjoy your food right then. Happy eating!

See You At The Top Law

We recently stopped by Cool Runnings Jamaican Grill on Bellfort, and the experience was full of flavor from the start. The food came out hot, well-seasoned, and satisfying, with that authentic taste that keeps you coming back. The staff was welcoming, the service moved smoothly, and the atmosphere felt relaxed and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time and enjoy a good meal without any rush. Cool Runnings Jamaican Grill reflects what makes Houston’s food scene special, real flavor, good people, and a place that feels grounded and genuine. Highly recommended! SEE YOU AT THE TOP 🚀

I came stop here before getting into creating content for the week, and it was a great choice. Food was great and filled with flavor, the chicken combo plate (I got curry chicken and brown stew) was well worth the price and was delectable. Everything was fresh and well-made. My only complaint was the service being a bit nonchalant, and I had to go back in to get the Jamaican beef patty I ordered once I realized it wasn't there. Other than that, great place, and I would return before getting into my content and music again. Great place to eat!
