Reggae Jerk Hut, a new Caribbean-inspired restaurant, opened in south McKinney on June 13, co-owner Marsha Telfer said.

The veteran-owned restaurant, located at 7001 S. Custer Road, Ste. 600, McKinney, offers Jamaican food, including braised oxtail, curry goat and the restaurant’s signature jerk chicken. The restaurant also offers handmade Caribbean-inspired cocktails, including rum punch.

The restaurant is owned by Telfer and her husband, Adrian Telfer. The couple wanted to bring Caribbean food to the Collin County area, where there are few options for the cuisine, Telfer said.

“Just wanted to bring the Caribbean-inspired cuisine to the McKinney area since we have such an influx of people moving here from all over,” Telfer said.

The restaurant features a “Caribbean feel” with music, art and more, Telfer said. A grand opening event is expected to be held at a later date.
