David's Jamaican Cuisine

I love David's more than words can describe. I know that they are closed until they get moved into a new space. Really looking forward to having them back soon. Hopefully this page will get updated with the new locations soon!

We have enjoyed eating here several times over the years. Casual setting, family locally owned restaurant. Our favorite is the Jamaican curry chicken which you can taste was marinated for hours. The key ingredient to know about this place is that you will get a nice portion and delicious food but don’t expect the restaurant to be fancy. It’s a small family owned business that’s hard working and you can taste the love in the food. These types of restaurants are becoming rare in Madison. I rather overlook some of the physical imperfections to have the beautiful experience of real food. Comfy soul feeding food.

I love getting takeout from David’s Jamaican—the vegan mango tofu is my favorite, with a side of spicy jerk sauce (or a full bottle to take home and keep in our fridge!). The pineapple tofu is also good, but I return for the mango tofu every time—it’s perfectly saucy and DELICIOUS. Plus, David is also so kind and friendly. The restaurant currently seems better suited for takeout rather than dining in, but we love supporting this family-owned business!

They are supposed to be open and don’t have enough decency to let Google know that they’re closed… at 2:30 In the afternoon! I drove an away! And they were supposed to open at 11:30. So unprofessional!

If I could rate zero stars on everything I would. The food, atmosphere was certainly trash. The service was subpar. I had the spicy jerk chicken. It had no flavor at all. It's like they baked or boiled the chicken with no seasoning then poured some cold store bought jerk marinade over it. The cabbage was even horrible. My lady ordered the shrimp it was also horrible with no flavor. $30+ just to end up throwing the food in the garbage. I've been to plenty jamaican style restaurants but never encountered anything like this.

Service was outstanding but that was it. Food was terrible....

Waited all day till 3 when they opened for Jamaican food, then drove 25min to get there at 3:25pm, sat there 30 to 45 minutes, and they never opened or answered the phone. Totally disappointed
