    They loaded the plates to the top; $15 for the dinner and $13 for the lunch(i was eating mine for two days). This was so mf delicious!! We will come back again when in Dayton! 12/10

    So we were reading up some information because my friend found out she had a medical issue so she wanted to change her diet. Well we went to Daytona Florida riding to ease her mind with all the news she had just received and found this restaurant. We were seeing multiple customers coming in and out so we went in to check out the menu and the food to see if it was going to be adequate for what my friend was looking for to eat. When we walked in immediately we were welcomed into the establishment. We spoke to a server that had all the answers we were searching for so we decided to go ahead and be seated to order a drink and our food. What I love was we can see how they fix your food because it was set up like a buffet. I searched around because it was actually all men that was cooking and serving us so it was remarkable how clean the back part of the kitchen was when I took a peak. There was no food on the floor and especially when they also cook to order food as well. My friend ended up getting veggie style plate and it was absolutely delicious. The oxtails could have been cooked just a little bit longer but they were seasoned with a different taste that I couldn't pick up on. The macaroni and cheese

    Very bland, not authentic Jamaican food. Patties are decent but the actual food is surprisingly under seasoned.

    Awesome store-front business. It is not upscale dining as far as the atmosphere. However, the food is excellent!

    I really enjoyed this place a lot. Please do not judge this place by its cover…read more The food is very flavorful and has so much character. You can taste the heat of the scotch bonnets in the patties. The jerk chicken has a bouquet of herbs and spices that make it a very rich dish. It is as mentioned in another review in a gas station. The owner is planning to move into a larger spot. This is a big trend that is happening where these awesome food places are being put into gas stations where it naturally increases foot traffic. This one is inside a building with a mural that says "Jolly World". The address on Yelp is actually incorrect if it not on Mason and Nova. It is on the SouthWest Corner. The Jerk Chicken plate that I ordered came with plantain, dumpling and mac and cheese. It was quite amazing the amount of food that is provided. It will be best if you come during the day time if you are worried about the neighborhood. I have not had any problems but would understand if some would be worried. The people are incredibly friendly. They take debit cards. Enjoy this place. It is really bomb.

    Excellent jamaican food. Goat is the best! If you haven't tried it yet, its a must. If you want…read moreto eat there, you can, buts its a little cramped inside, with just a few tables. Its like a small mom and pop owned pizza place. Better for takeout, as it says in the name. Staff is very friendly.

    I've been wanting to try A Golden Taste since I arrived in Daytona and this was the first…read moreopportunity I had to try them out and I'm definitely happy. Of course I decided to try the oxtail and I wanted to try the cabbage but it wasn't ready so after confirming the greens didn't have pork in them, I went with those. When I got to my car, I opened the box and everything looked amazing. I tried the greens first and they are good. I could taste the butter, so please don't tell me how many calories or sticks are in it. They were also very tender but not mushy and if they're from a can, I could not tell. Also I have no idea if they're fresh or canned so I think that's a good thing. You can see from my pictures the perfect coloring on the oxtail with no char and upon my first bite they were extremely meaty and flavorful. I will not show you an after picture of just the bones remaining LOL. I love the fact there wasn't too much browning seasoning or whatever seasoning is put in that gives it a very strong burnt taste. It didn't I have that at all from what I can tell and the flavoring of the meat shown through. I was sent it to try some other dishes but wanted to keep it safe since I was driving an hour away. I am so pleased that I was finally able to make it to try their food and definitely plan on coming back when I'm back in the area. When I read over my post making sure everything was correct I had to change my verbs to past tense because yes I was writing about this dish as I was eating it because it was that good. The only thing I was not a fan of was the rice which was really mushy and I'm hoping it wasn't from the other day but that's the feeling I got from it. I didn't eat much of it and the oxtails were over top of it so it's soaked up a lot of that flavor.
