Went to this Location for lunch and got the curry chicken lunch special with no vegetables. I was very disappointed, the Chicken was cold and undercooked in the middle. I called the location to address my concerns, and they informed me that this was due to the curry in the chicken. However, I've eaten curry chicken many times before, and I have never experienced this issue, so I don't believe that explanation is accurate. read more

The ladies behind the counter were attentive and friendly. Went there for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Place was empty and I was a bit surprised. As soon as you open the door, the wonderful aromas tickle your senses, the music played at a sensible level transports you to the islands. Plenty of choices from the cafeteria like setting of the food. Portions are generous and the food is wickedly tasty! Dining in may have been busy but the restaurant had a constant flow of take out orders. We settled on oxtails veggies, beans and rice. All perfectly seasoned. Only con? Found it a little pricey, for there are other options in the area not so highly priced. Will I return? Only if the other spots disappoint. If you're in its very near proximity and are craving Jamaican go for it. read more

Overall terrible quality food. Even the pineapple ginger was weak. I got the brown stew chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The cabbage was undercooked, rice and peas were bland, and the chicken was as tough as my own fist. Would not recommend. read more

It's always an extremely long wait for plant based items. Last time i came in they told me to call in my order before I come pick it up . So today i try to call in my order just for them to tell me they don't accept phone in orders. Today this is the patty they gave me . It's a crumbled mess and every single patty i bought has paper stuck to it . Steer clear of this place . Awful quality . I certainly won't be back and URGE you to look else where read more

I will start by saying that I have been a big fan of Golden crust since I lived in New York. Now that I live in Dallas I will always stop if I see one.... I walked up and saw that they are now offering a plant-based Jamaican patty option. Trust me I was quite curious. Specially because I don't eat meat anymore. When I went inside there was a line, and the staff was busy so not much smiling and greeting. Which is fine. People are busy working I get it. I order the curry vegetable , fried plantains and plant-based patties and mild beef patties. I didn't want them out the flavor but they did not have the spicy beef available so I settle for my beef. They also have several things that they were out of but I can't remember what. With that said the plant-based Jamaican patty was disgusting. It's made out of beyond meat which I've had before but it does not work in the Jamaican patty!!! Look-somethings just aren't meant to be vegan!! lol And this is one of them. I could not get myself to take a bite because I couldn't bypass the smell of the beyond meat. I attempted to take a bite out of the mild beef one but it was dry and hard just like the vegan patty and the flavor just wasn't right. Now- the Fried Plaintains and the curry vegetable was extremely delicious. The 2 stars is for the inedible patties. I will not recommend them to anyone from this location. read more

Love this location. They are always pleasant and welcoming. The food is great. Recommending every time.

Nasty! Why the bbq sauce. No jerk seasoning. Why da corn and sweet peas in the mixed vegetables. Never again. Trash. Give me refund.

First time trying Jamaican food and it does not disappoint. I didn't know what protein to choose so the nice lady behind the counter let me sample the goat and the oxtail. I don't know many places that would let that happen. It was of course delicious. She was very nice and attentive. She stuffed my plate with the brown stewed chicken, rice and peas, and plantains. I demolished my plate and I will definitely be back. read more

The curry goat was again overloaded with salt & curry, and that will be my last time getting that at this place. The rice & peas tasted like the coconut milk they used was rancid. The only thing I gave 5-stars was the beef patty, but I definitely do not see the value in the price for that small size, and it was more crust and less beef. read more

First off customer service HORRIBLE... My husband and I came in on July 19th around 8:50. I will attach a receipt don't worry. There were two women working behind the counter, gossiping with some customer about nothing as we walked in. The customer was Hanging all over the counter by the register with her son jumping all over the dining room. This is a restaurant not an amusement Park. Have some home training. I'm assuming that's why we did not get a welcoming greeting. One woman insisted on helping us as she went straight to serving food. WITHOUT WASHING HER HANDS 1st RED FLAG..... the entire time I was asking question she had an attitude....it's called CUSTOMER SERVICE. Not even a smile...l asked her if we could have both rice's half and half she had an attitude about that. I wanted to purchase one of your fresh juices that were available on display however; I didn't want to upset her anymore so I didn't even ask. 2ND RED FLAG. Everything look like it had been sitting on the line since 12:00 noon and l know because all of the pans on the line had CRUST AROUND THE CORNERS You could at least have them flip your pan on the line to make everything APPEAR TO LOOK fresh. Then had the nerve to have COLD CABBAGE on the HOT SERVING LINE 'made in China' (THIS IS A HEALTH CODE VIOLATION) NEXT TO dried up BURNT PLANTAINS and I KNOW because I used to work at Pollo Tropical POLLO TROPOCAL WHEN IT WAS ON WESTHEIMER & HILLCROFT / VOSS. Bring back Pollo Tropical please.... so people know what plantains are SUPPOSED to taste like. 3RD RED FLAG it amazes me how you can charge people the prices that y'all do and CAN EVEN AFFORD suitable to-go containers. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS FOOD IS SUPPOSE TO BE DELICIOUS KEY WORDS SUPPOSE TO BE.... Oh and the next time you go get your inventory from RESTAURANT DEPOT grab you some plastic to-go containers. There not that expensive. I HAVE A BOX AT HOME IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT. SHOP AROUND.... 4TH RED FLAG find a different vendor for your food STOP BUYING garbage from Restaurant Depot get your paper goods from their & food elsewhere. FIND BETTER EMPLOYEES. The Workforce Solution is right across the street how hard could that be? Y'ALL WANNA BE COOL RUNNING SO BAD LOL read more

I was craving some beef patties and decided to try this spot. I was excited to see the variety of patties they had on the menu. Unfortunately I was not happy with that Beef Patty. It was way more crust than anything. It may be too much of a chain for what I was looking for. read more

Golden Krust is not far from the house. I dropped in to see what is was about because I like Caribbean food. It was really good. I had the curry chicken with rice, cabbage and plantains. OMG those plantains were so good. This is a cool little bang for your buck. I love getting a lot of food on my plate for under $20. #Winning I'll be back. This is one of my new go-tos. read more

I just ordered the jerk chicken lunch and a beef patty from this restaurant and I must say I tossed the entire meal in the trash. The peas & rice was sooooooooo dry and everything lacked flavor. I mean ZERO seasoning. My coworker said it smelled like wet dog and although his rude comment upset me, I didn't tell him it tasted like wet dog since I have never been in a situation where I needed to taste one, but, I digress... My meal was not tasty. I will order something again, but not this. read more

Great authentic food. So far I've have the jerk chicken, curry shrimp, and oxtails. Along with spicy beef and jerk chicken patty. Very fresh and great quality/quantity. The staff is very nice and professional as well. I'd highly advise to anyone looking to try some Jamaican food. read more

Pretty great flavors, The peas & rice with the chicken is really good. i dont like the raw cabbage and the plantains could have been cooked longer, relatively raw on the inside. Otherwise decent portion for the price read more

Would not recommend and wouldn't eat at this chain again. I first tried years ago (a different location) when I first moved to Houston but recently tried to give them a second chance and realized I should have just gone with my first instinct. I'm from Miami and thus, was raised eating various kinds of Caribbean food (Jamaican, Bahamian, Guyanese, Trinidadian, etc)...Golden Crust tastes nothing like any of these. The exterior of the patties seems to be the only thing right about them...the meat texture is just way too mashed and grind down...it's just a texture that you can't even convince yourself to eat beyond a few bites (both me and my fiancé felt this way about two different kind of patties). The curry chicken though edible, wasn't anywhere near great either. Guess I'll keep looking for a Caribbean go-to. read more

UPDATED REVIEW: The Restaurant Corp and Local Franchisee Owner contacted me in efforts to consider, and address my concerns posted in June. They were kind, open, willing and earnest about reviewing the missteps noted in the initial review. Accordingly, my family and I tried again, and Golden Krust met, and exceeded our initial experience. That is good business etiquette and practice, to reach out and offer kind discourse, remedy, and to hear out customer concerns. Hopefully, my review was not upsetting, but a helpful and useful consideration; based on today's experience, I believe that it was, and I recommend and commend Golden Krust. I've attached photos of today's dinners. My parents were pleased and appreciated the standard of customer care offered by Golden Krust. ********Initial Review Ordered this evening, June 24 2020 through Favor. Placed order for elder parents and myself. Favor messaged that the restaurant did not have anymore jerk chicken wings, as ordered. Restaurant did not have several of the desserts that were listed on their Favor Menu either, when I asked whether the wings could be substituted by a similarly priced dessert. Before Favor left, restaurant discovers they forgot a piece of the order, so they created a second credit charge slip, to add the one item they missed. Food is delivered. Two dinners: one chicken and the other goat. Both dinners come with rice and peas, and cabbage. However, my father was cut by one of the goat on bones- they were sharp and small, about one inch in length. So I looked through the food and saw that the gravy on both dinners, was majority bones - shards, sharp pieces. Checked mine, thechicken, and there were a few shards of chicken, three sharp broken drumstick bones, and grizzle. On both dinners, I measured out one table spoon of cabbage, and about four cups of rice, no peas. Essentially the dinners were bone gravy, white rice, no peas, and a spoon of cabbage. I'm sorry I do not have a photo, as I discarded the items after checking it over, & did not intend, initially, on writing. Yet hopefully, management will reexamine their operation's quality control and systems for this location. Trying to support the movement and sometimes the best support is an honest review of experience. All the best. read more

Hate to leave a bad Reveiw for a black establishment that I actually like. Just ordered a jerk plate like I do often and I ask for extra sauce I don't like dry beans and rice or dry jerk chicken. They lady ask if I want sauce on my beans and rice and I answer yes please put a lot but for some reason she barely put any sauce. Also no sauce on my chicken either. I go back inside after eating in my car for a few mins and ask for jerk sauce, the lady looks at me as if I'm doing something wrong . She grab a very small container and fill it up half way lol. I ask can I get two of those and she says no. I then reply I'll pay for extra sauce and she then replies I'll just fill the small container to the top. I was very confused, all I want if my sauce so I can eat my food that cost 22$. Now I'm stuff eating this dry jerk chicken which is still good food but this ain't how I like it. Why I can't eat my food the way I want too, I'm a paying customer. This is very bad business. read more

Being from the Caribbean and from Queens, NY I crave good West Indian food and it's so hard finding it here in Houston. I decided to try out Golden Krust one night and I was not disappointed. I got the stew chicken with roti and the chicken patty with a kola champagne. Everything was sooooo delicious. Not as spicy as I would like it, it far from bland. The roti tasted just like my mom's roti. The chicken patty was hot and actually quite spicy. The stew chicken was also delicious. The restaurant itself was super clean and the staff was very friendly and efficient. Before I could take out my cash, the roti was ready and she added whatever pieces I wanted from the stew. The woman at the front was very sweet and very fast. Overall, will be a frequent customer. read more

Decently priced. The portion for the oxtail was decent, would recommend paying the $2 more for the larger plate. The oxtail was tender and tasted well. The sauce was a little sweet. I didn't have a problem with it but I didn't like the taste of it mixed with the rice. Overall, not too bad of a meal. Not sure if I'll return but wasn't a bad experience. read more

Golden Krust - Small oxtail plate - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Horrible service served up with old tasteless food! The person who was there working this past Saturday had an unnecessarily nasty attitude with myself and other customers. She was all frowned up, spoke rough and with so much sarcasm and a condescending tone. This was all for nothing. Customers respectfully asking questions and making simple requests does not constitute the type of slackness she was giving that day. The restaurant was still set up as if we are still in the middle of a pandemic and was overall unappealing. That coupled with the old looking food and her disgusting attitude definitely has deterred me from ever returning to this establishment! Golden Krust, Westheimer location, do better please!!! read more

As a Jamaican, If I could give zero starts I would. Literally everything I ordered was just "blah". The jerk chicken had no jerk sauce or flavor, it was dry along with the spicy beef patties that had no flavor and was dry as well. The "festivals" were hard as a rock and so greasy it made me sick. Even the juice had a weird taste. The "rum cake" had no rum and I couldn't even swallow the first bite to how bad it was. The only thing I got that taste well was the bottled drinks that weren't made by them. I didn't even get everything I ordered. The customer service is so bad, I don't know how people are okay with having such a disgusting attitude and poor service while being in the service industry. If you don't want to be there, find something else. One try was enough, I'll never be back to this disappointment. read more

I should of read the reviews first houston golden krust on kirby next to nrg terrible. 3 person in the hold store one in the back one young lady fixing and the other one cleaning with a long line in the place . taking money and preparing with gloves on and not even changing them.

--- FOOD POISONING--- Shit food. I frequented golden Krust in New York and Maryland so I am familiar is the price point and the taste. This golden Krust location doesn't come close. The lunch specials are hardly specials- I was served one singular plantain , chicken back ( bone ) , chicken leg , rice , cabbage and smaller than your average small sized drink for $8. The chicken was suppose to be jerk chicken but instead was bbq chicken. The chicken was undercooked. Bad experience.. read more

This food was TERRIBLE. I got the Stewed Chicken and 1 Beef Patty. 1st of all the Stewed Chicken was sweet (I have never had sweet Stewed Chicken before and it was not good) and the chicken was dry. How is the world can stewed chicken be dry and have a tough exterior? I have made baked chicken more tender than this. The cabbage had a weird taste and the beef patty was hard to bite into and chew. It must have been sitting out since this morning or something because I thought I was going to break a tooth trying to bite into it. I ultimately threw the entire container in the trash and wasted $25 since I ordered from Uber Eats. I think I will stick with the Caribbean food places by my house. PLEASE do better. UGH! I am only giving 1 STAR because I can't give it 0 STARS. read more

Absolutely disgraceful. Worst Jamaican food I've ever had. And it also smelled like an outhouse. Golden Krust in Orlando tastes way better.
