Food is PHENOMENAL! One of the best Caribbean spots I’ve had in a while. Extremely authentic and and a great price. The jerk chicken was fall off the bone delicious! I recommend 10 out of 10

This is another hidden gem. From the time you walk in, you feel like family, and it's the spot to be. I ordered 2 of their lunch specials, which are from Monday - Friday 11am to 1pm. I got the Jerk Chicken and Curry Chicken as well as two beef patties and cocoa bread. The Jerk Chicken was perfectly season and juicy as can be. The sauce that it came with..... OMG, I went back for more sauce. The Curry Chicken had a nice kick. The more you eat it, the more you feel it getting hotter. Again, it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. Now the best part beef patty and cocoa bread. Ooooweee, you can tell they are homemade and not store brought. There is so much flavor in the meat with a slightly spicy tang. The crust was flaky but still stayed together. The cocoa bread absolutely completed it even more even though it's not needed, but I like to eat it together. Again, this was a hidden gem, and the food speaks for itself. I'll be back soon!!!

Quick service calm environment and the jerk bird with the cabbage is amazing. FYI I ordered extra cabbage so don't be fooled you paying for that flavor and yes it is worth it. Always a pleasure ordering from here.

First thing first. The service is amazing! They were very inviting and positive spirits were in the air as soon as we walked through the door so I just knew the food would match that. When they brought the plates out, you could smell the love radiating from them. The entire dishes from the meats to the sides were 10 out of 10 and I have been to quite a few Jamaican Cuisine Restaurants and 1Luv has had the most uniquely flavored rice and peas I have ever had! If you’re in Killeen, there are lots of options but make this the first if you’re looking for Jamaican Cuisine!!!

It’s the char for me! The char from the grill was delicious. If your jerk doesn’t have char, you ain’t eating jerk. The jerk was perfect, juicy and seasoned well. Food was fresh and hot. Will definitely be coming back.
