Traphouse Caribbean Downtown - Austin, TX

Southern Fusion with an Island Accent

Never trust a skinny chef!

We give oxtails a slow braise and a second act in fried rice. That mix of respect and reinvention defines our Caribbean restaurant in Austin. The cooking of the African diaspora gives our menu its foundation; what we do with it is personal.

The neon palms outside offer a fair introduction: we’ve got personality, and you’re welcome to bring yours. Settle in without the formalities. We’ll let your first plate handle the rest of the introductions.
