We split the 3 meat plate with Jerk Ribs, Jerk Chicken, Sweet Ting, and they threw in some Curry Chicken because they were sold out when we went the day before. For sides, we had greens, Mac and cheese, and cornbread dressing. All the meat was juicy and perfectly tender, the greens were incredible. I didn't love the Mac and cheese but that's only because I wasn't a fan of the type of cheese used. When we went the night before at 6:45 they were sold out. It's just the owner there so he sells out frequently. I had absolutely no qualms waiting a bit since we got there right when they opened the next day. The owner was so great and everything was fantastic.

The place is very clean and fairly trendy for 20 to 30 somethings. We came in for a late lunch (around 2) and we were the only ones there. Gayle was cleaning when we got there and was cleaning when we left. Ok so why not 5 stars. Because they are going some things wrong. First, I ordered a ruban and they were out of the bread and the meat. My buddy tried to order onion rings and they were out of them. Seriously, not a big deal but it would have been nice if that were said to us in the beginning and it shows the restaurants disorganization. Speaking of. She wrote our orders on a normal ticket book and then gave us post it notes for the bill. They need a POS system. I have a feeling if it were busy the quality and the time out would suffer greatly but idk for sure! Also the cook was yelling at her about not being able to hear her which was kinda unprofessional. Also, expect to pay a bit more. Each of our bills were over $20...granted I had 2 beers. But, hey I really am nit-picking here and I know it! Study Hall is a nice bar and grille! It is upscale in an area where there are not a ton of bars, especially nice ones! It is obvious that Gayle puts everything she has into making this successful! (Not to mention she has the coolest red phone behind the bar...yes we noticed!) BTW - My friend swears the fish tacos are the BEST he has ever had!

I love Jamaican food and I have been there on more than one occasion. The first time I visited, I had the curry goat which was excellent! :) Their curry goat was fresh, extremely tender, well seasoned full of flavor with a nice side of delicious cabbage and rices & peas. Another time I went there, I had curry goat again and it wasn't as fresh possibly sitting out for a really long time, only got a small portion, super oily, and didn't taste good. Another time I had their oxtails which was very good but not the best Jamaican oxtails I have had. I got very little portion of small oxtails (couple scoops full) and it cost me about $20 but I also ordered it with a side of cabbage and rice & peas. I have gone to some better Jamaican spots in nearby Chicago and Milwaukee and they give a-lot more better larger portion size of larger oxtails that tasted better with the sides also for about the same price. Oxtails are very expensive in general to purchase but I felt like I didn't really get much for the price in comparison to some other a Jamaican restaurants I have been to recently. However, their Jamaican cabbage is amazing absolutely delicious!!! Originally, I gave Taste of Jamaica five stars because when I first visited, their food was fresh, excellent, and the portion sizes were pretty good but I have gone more than once since then, and they are not always consistent in the quality & execution of their food so I had to change my review. There isn't a-lot of competition for Jamaican cuisine in Madison, WI so I feel if there was, they would step up their game a lot more. They are still absolutely a-lot better than David's Jamaican cuisine in Madison. I hope they continue to deliver better consistency with their food!!!

This is my second time trying their food -- the first was at the Taste of Madison and I had their Jerk wings. This time, I ordered their Happy Jerk Combo. I lunched after 1, so they were out of the stir fry but I didn't care. Paid $9 for jerk pork and chicken over rice and beans, walked it back to my office only to discover the rice was no good. :( I ate some of the jerk meat, and both pork and chicken were severely dry, minimal sauce and flavor. I thought maybe the heat from the meats caused the mushiness in the rice, so I sniffed it and was able to scent a foul odor. My lunch was an absolute fail and all my Hubs had to say was, "That's why we don't go there mon." Ugh. :/ I am giving them one star because the Jerk wings at the Taste were good and the guy working the food cart was friendly. But maybe not friendly enough to know not to serve spoiled food. Will stick to David's!

I just love the convenience of the food cart they have set up on Library Mall during the lunch time hours. In the few times I've had Jamerica I've always ordered the Happy Jerk Combo. It's perfect for the indecisive as it is 1/2 pork and 1/2 chicken with red beans and rice, so there's no need to settle on just one meat. Awesome. What's also great about this dish is how huge it is. Really, it's easily enough to last you two good meals. And these will definitely be gooood meals because Jamerica packs their dishes with Flavor. Capital F. Every time, I leave Jamerica a happy customer not only because the Happy Jerk is delicious, but also because they're always crankin out the ever-optimistic, breezy Bob Marley tunes. Nice slice of Jamaica man.

I was not anticipating the girth of these suckers! Really delicious. The jerk chicken fell off the bone -- meat seemed to be smoked and was flavorful and moist and the jerk seasoning was to die for. Ribs were also fall off the bone tender. The sauce was sweeter than I'm used to (I'm used to south carolina style ribs, not Jamaican) but outstanding. My husband's jerk shrimp was great, and the fried plantains, too. Will definitely be going back and I'm encouraging everyone else I know to go too! I love supporting local, black-owned businesses, and I hope they make it out through the rough times so that they can go back to the Friday night buffet and I can try even more of their dishes.
