Mrs jasmine was a gem! I made sure to call ahead and ensure they had carrot juice since I was driving 40 minutes to this location. She mentioned they were fully stocked. I came in and the breakfast smelled delicious! I got a small order of ackee and salt fish with plantain and fried dumplings! I mentioned I was low in iron and she recommend the calloloo and it was absolutely delicious! So flavorful and I heard it has way more nutrients than spinach! It was a delicious bite! I also bought a few natural juices and some bun and cheese for a treat! Definitely would come back! Thank you Mrs jasmine for your kindness ! read more

I stopped in for some food but just settled on two juices. The ginger beer and the turmeric & Irish moss. These juices I hope will be beneficial to my overall health I am hoping due to the benefits of their ingredients. The service was hospitable and quick. Nice ambiance. Loved the taste of the turmeric & Irish moss I tried. read more

Jasmine at Golden Krust Customer Service was outstanding. I visited this morning to pick up a DoorDash order, and her handling of the crowd was nothing short of excellent. I'd like to share this review with Golden Krust not only to praise their amazing dumplings and the delicious salt fish with cabbage, but also to highlight the great atmosphere and superb customer service. read more

Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant - The Place - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I visited a few weeks ago. I'm in search of finding good authentic Jamaican food. This spot did not disappoint. It was a long line, but that was expected, that's just how good Jamaican spots be. The line did move quickly however so that was great. I dropped in during lunch and grabs a few plates. They give a good portion of everything. I ordered the curry goat, jerk chicken, rice and peas and a few patties. Everything was good. The goat was nice and spicy like I like. I could see it being too spicy for some. I don't recall there being anywhere to sit, more takeout style. They do sell all the typical drinks. I'm always reaching for a champagne kola. This is a decent option for Jamaican food. read more

Solid fast food option I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, plantains, and the cabbage came with it. Big serving. read more

Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant - Excellent Jamaican spot Jerk chicken meal - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Food was decent. Plantains were hard and old. Staff overall seemed kind. Could have better organization for the line, but nothing too crazy. The woman who served me very short and rude for whichever reason. Portions are good and fairly priced. read more

I've come here a couple of times on my lunch break, and the atmosphere is great. Friendly people with good and fast service. The food is tasty and very affordable. They are set up as an in and out service, and yes, a lot of people come in, but that just further affirms how good the place is. I'm not sure why they don't have a 5-star review. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I usually order Golden Krissy on Uber eats, I've never had a problem with my order with them on Uber eats. So, from the aspect of service-packing the to go order was fine. The food- I ordered the curry goat with rice and peas with cabbage. Now, the food isn't terrible but it isn't the best. The goat was a little bland and more pieces of bones rather than goat. However, the price is cheaper than other places for curry goat and they do offer some pretty good lunch specials. read more

I came in for patties, but end up purchasing a meal For myself and my husband. The food was delicious. I ordered plantains, dumpling, and oxtail and rice. My husband had jerk chicken, and peas and rice. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese. We drank Rhythm guava juice too. We will be back soon. read more

This used to be my go to for Jamaican but they have gone downhill on taste and execution. The only thing they have going now it it's the cheapest in my area. Jamaican food is a labor of love. If I want cheap i can make it myself. Admittedly when I ordered the lunch special I was experimenting "lunch size" but they were full size. The curry and brown stew are always cheap so only a dollar less. I also ordered the jerk chicken which was a little more expensive so came at a good deal at the lunch special price. This was no jerk chicken at all. It was a stew with some jerk sauce. If I didn't have the brown stew to compare I would have thought they had given me brown stew in error. Also ordered the curry goat which was also a better deal and they just didn't send it. This isn't the first time I had something left off but thought it was a fluke. Both times Uber refunded me for the missing item. Will no longer be ordering. I would rather pay a little more for quality. So in conclusion you get what you pay for which is quantity. Quality is extra. A promotion would be offering quality at regular quantity to gain customer. Well lost this one. read more

Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant - So called Jerk chicken (lighter colored stew*) a lot of food but all very bland. Curry and brown just color. - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I went in, there were about 4 ladies working the front. They were quick and efficient. I really liked their attentiveness to the guests. I ordered a small oxtail with rice and peas. When I tell you she was NOT stingy. She packed those oxtails on my plate and I was quite surprised by that. I definitely got my monies worth as I ate on it for 3 days. Each day it got better and better. I was sad when I ran out. The restaurant itself is nothing really to look at. It was clean and lit. I would say it isn't a place you sit and eat. People come just to get their food and go. I stopped going to GC because of the quality of the food, but it was great and I'll be back again. read more

The restaurant atmosphere was really good, the employees were welcoming as there was a rush of people, the wait was sort of long. An employee by the name of Sophia was really patient as we had to wait for the goat to be cooked. read more

Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Very good Caribbean food at reasonable prices. I got delivery (COVID times) through UberEats. The food was prepared quickly, and it was hot when it arrived. I got the large goat curry with rice and beans. The curry was good. Nothing unusual, but tasty. The meat was tender, although it was bonier than most places I've ordered goat from. The rice and beans tasted strongly of coconut. The veggies on the side were good. There were two plantains on the side. They were dry. The serving size wasn't great. The large was enough for two meals, but at many Caribbean restaurants in the area, a large is enough for 3. Overall, this isn't my favorite place for Jamaican food, but it's not bad. read more

They have a GIANT digital billboard | menu that advertised plant based meat. They didn't have any. Luckily, for THIS VEGAN, they DID have vegan options. Everything in the photo is spicy, EXCEPT FOR the drink all the way to the right. The plantains are also NOT spicy but they are not pictured. Picture is of spinach pie, veggie pie & 1 spicy drink [brew] read more

New vegan. Stopped to get a vegetable plate. Was not anticipating paying $9+ for a small order of rice/peas and cabbage. No flavor in either. So now I know. read more

Today was absolutely terrible. They gave me spoiled plantains and the wrong rice . This made for a terrible experience. Never go back again

The food is very good. It is one of the closest that you can come to the authentic Jamaican food. However, the customer service is crappy. Today was my first time back in this store for a very long time (& this is comming from at least 4 visits per week for lunch, not snacks) and the manager reminded me of why I had stopped shopping there. They are rude to customers, unwilling to satisfy the customers (especially if they are not Caucasian), you're charged extra or things that you pay for are not included in the bag when you get to your destination. I watched them cut a breast in 2 for a meal & told the customer after she inquired that it is too much to give her.....(& this was what the customer paid for). Nancy seems to be the only one on the counter who is trying to do her job well.....great job NANCY! If I return, I would only want to be served by you but will not be returning. read more

Every single time I have order Jerk chicken and festivals on uber eats they NEVER include the festivals! 3 times now! Just take it off your menu or post "sold out" on the app. read more

Chicken stew was ok. Large amount of rice but only 2 pieces of sweet plantains. Spicy beef patties were good. Although no hot sauce was provided even though it was ordered. read more

My Wife ordered from there today from Uber Eats, the oxtails. She was actually in tears because she waited all day to eat and said the food was horrible. Maybe this was a one time thing, I'm not sure, because we've eaten from here before, but Im thinking we've made our last order from here for a while. read more

I ordered a small fried chicken w/ rice peas and veg with oxtail gravy. Every item on the plate was ridiculously spicy like the scotch bonnet bursted in the rice while it was cooking. If i didn't taste 1st my 1year old and 5 year olds mouths would have been on fire. I'm a Trinidadian and used to pepper but when you get chunks of pepper in each bite is absolutely ridiculous. And who puts pepper in the cabbage ..if that happens at least warn ppl before purchase smh. read more

This place is hit or miss I had the oxtails rice an peas cabbage plantain and if I'm willing to pay top dollar i just wished i was wowed by it my oxtail were still tuff i get they overload with rice and the others but i had the look just not the texture or the taste . So hmmph i also got bun and cheese it was excellent and a carrot juice which I'm pretty sure was expired. I wasted alot of gas driving all the way over here to get home and basically go to my pantry and eat my chips instead of finishing it. I don't know what happen but yeh I really wanted some oxtails that I could suck the bone and thoroughly enjoy. read more

I've been here twice and on both occasions they were out of jerk chicken and multiple other menu items. The food is tasteless and isn't worth the money. Save your money and go to Jerk Hut. P.S. If you see a Groupon, Amazon Local, or Living Social deal for this restaurant don't buy it! It's more of a hassle as the management doesn't communicate these type of deals with their employees and you have to jump through loops to redeem the offer. read more

Not easy to find, tucked in a largely vacant shopping center across from the Drive-in. But worth a visit for Jamaican dishes and baked goods, plus an impressive selection of Island drinks such as pineapple-ginger, champagne cola and Irish Moss drink. Tried the curried goat and chicken with rice and peas.....wonderfully tasty, noting that you must deal with small bone pieces in any goat dish. The cheesy-beef patty we sampled was also perfectly seasoned. This would be a fine spot to grab a bite before going next door to venture into the food wonderland of the Sanwa Farmers Market. read more

I must say this is the perfect go to!!! I'm currently on a liquid diet and came in three days ago to get soup. I was advised that the soup change every day except for Tuesday and Thursday will be the same soup, I was ecstatic. I have been there every day to get the featured soup of the day as the soup is superb! You have to try it trust me you will not be disappointed!!!!! read more

I went in to make a purchase and one of the cashiers had her mask beneath her nose. A customer came in without a mask. I asked the cashier if masks are required. She looked at me and paused and then stated that she is not going to argue with anyone she will serve them and let them get out. It's not about arguing it's about standards and expectations. She said it with such an attitude. I will not return. We all must do our part to protect one another. Totally disgusted and disappointed! read more

They are mostly a take out location unlike the Orlando one. The food is still good with me plethora of Jamaican dishes to choose from. They also have a wide selection of desserts. It always smells good walking in. If you want pepper shrimp, they only make a limited amount so you would have to come early to take the amount that you want. read more

Best Jamaican food in the area!!! Dont listen to the negative reviews they're just ridiculous!!!

This is one place that does not disappoint. You know what you're getting wen you go it. I have had a horrible experience with traditional Caribbean food since I moved here3 years ago and this is the one place that I can go to get some good eating. read more

This restaurant is placed in a not so safe neighborhood/shopping center where before you can barely get out of your car you will be approached by people trying to sell you stuff or beg for money. I don't suggest sitting in, get your food to go. I've been about four times. Don't have your heart set on anything because they will be out. I suggest you go as early in the day as possible. The food is good but I'm sure Tampa has better Jamaican restaurants elsewhere. read more

This place was out of Patties which I was alittle sad. However I got the large ox tail meal and was given plenty of food. Next time I will try the jerk chicken and hopefully they'll have patties. Food was good and I see myself returning. read more

The food is good when you go early , when you visit during late afternoon or evening they are usually sold out . They are receiving one star because of the poor service . Every time I go there I feel like a unwanted guess , with their attitude and inability to even say hello or talk above a whisper . I felt like I was bothering them by even saying hello . After I paid for my item the young lady just walked away and I was confused if the transaction was completed because she just walked away liked she was grabbing something else . I know people don't expect good service in this area but you tried to deliver it to your paying customer . Next time I just stay in Seminole Heights and get good food AND service . read more

I went to the Golden Krust on Florida Avenue near Bearss with the intention of treating a friend to lunch, and I was taken aback by the unbelievably poor service all around. For one, the cashier was quite discourteous and gave the impression that she did not want to be there. More importantly, the food was crudely prepared and two of the seven items I purchased, including a full meal had to be disposed of. read more
