Being from broward county Florida and seeing this many Jamaicans working in a restaurant I thought it would have been a lot better. However their food was lacking of everything that would make it Jamaican. read more

A Great Jamaican Place to eat they have good rich tasty Jamaican cuisine..The food always good, delicious. Great customers service. There's also a Golden Krust Market Store besides the Golden Krust Restaurant they have everything you would like to eat. I highly recommend this place to you. There is also lots of parking and handicap parking is also available. Go Get You Some Delicious Food and Drinks. Manners and Respect To Golden Krust.. read more

Even though this is my first check in here, I've been to this restaurant multiple times before. Their food is great and the staff at this restaurant is usually the same so you get a chance to know them a little more on a personal level. They have a lot of Caribbean options to choose from, and that goes from main entrées to desserts and also beverages. I love the authenticity of the restaurant and they are always friendly and welcoming when you come in. My favorite item at this restaurant is their stew chicken and yellow rice. After trying other Caribbean restaurants in the area, this one by far stands out to be the best. As far as seating accommodations, it's not a large restaurant but there is room for a few people to sit and enjoy their meal, but I wouldn't recommend large groups without at least calling ahead. read more

See all

The oxtails meal was good. Oxtails are not easy to cook. These are flavorful and tender. The large is $2 more than the small. So get the large. read more

Golden Krust - Large order of Ox tails, rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

A taste of Jamaica found in the heart of the ATL. finally found this location and was not disappointed. I ordered jerk chicken with cabbage rice and plantains. Everything tasted just like my Jamaican friends would cook. The portions for the price paid were good and acceptable. I have no complaints other than it was slightly hot and humid in the restaurant but I can deal with that in order to taste this goodness once again. read more

Golden Krust - Jerk chicken, rice and peas with cabbage. - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Little more beef, little less patty, please. I'm in the A for a few days and had my heart set on some oxtails and rice and peas from Rick's Carribbean Cafe, but I learned that it's closed down *insert cry of agony here.* I grudgingly drove to this mainstay of Carribbean food. As I walked in, I remembered the love/hate relationship I'd had in years past: -Character: two people who had such heavy accents that I had to ask them to repeat themselves promptly greeted me. The man restocking the sodas was singing a gospel song in falsetto. There was somebody singing something that struck my ear as Negro spirituals way back in the kitchen. Genius. -Mediocre patties: I didn't order a pastry, I ordered a meat pie! MEAT! And the mild beef patty was severely lacking in flavor. Come on!! Do I have to endure heartburn to get flavor? -Tasty entrees and large portions: the oxtails were quite respectable and they served me enough for leftovers a couple times over. The cabbage and plantains need more seasoning, though. I enjoyed my favorite Pineapple Ginger and Ginger Beer sodas, but those aren't homemade... All in all, this did the trick to satisfy my Carribbean cravings....but I sure do miss Rick's... read more

Look man I love this spot but some of the folks behind the counter/register need to get it together. "NO NEED TO BE RUDE" from the moment we walked in..But the food is always good. read more

Okay so last time i ate at a golden crust in Ny i was so disgusted and said i would NEVER eat at one again. Well. Never say Never because this particular Golden Crust put them back on the map for me !!! I have been craving ox tails so my cousin suggest i go here. I fought with her down to a bet that if it wasnt good she had to repay me ! My ox tail platter was to die for ! I took a bite in the parking lot and didnt put the platter down ! It was EVERYTHING!!! read more

Golden Krust - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I'm giving this restaurant one star because the customer service here is disgusting. As a Jamaican woman myself, I will never understand the unpleasant attitudes and rudeness from employees at Jamaican restaurants. It's 9:30 in the morning and the lady already has an attitude. And to top it off, the food isn't as good as it used to be over the years. The lady I'm specifically talking about is a dark skin black women, short, and wears glasses. I say that all to say, if you don't like your job then quit. No paying customer deserves to be greeted with nastiness. I hope this place goes out of business soon. read more

Still good. Still a little too much crust on the beef patties, but had the jerk chicken patty and goat curry soup again. You just can't beat it for fast food. Some people will complain about the quality, but when you put it into perspective and weigh this places food against like competition of say a McDonald's type chain or even a Popeye's or Bojangles, they don't even compare. Still completely under rated and still the best damn chain ever! read more

The stew chicken meal was lacking: - Sauce was too thick - Too much sauce in container - Rice was over cooked and mushy - Plantain were dry and unsweet - Beef patties were generic (probably from supermarket freezer) The young lady at the register was unprofessional as she commenced to yell at another coworker while taking our order. Recommending this restaurant to anyone else is not what I will do; their service sucks and their food needs real native islander love... or better chefs that are from the islands. We will not be coming back!! read more

Very tasty. My hubby and I ordered some food to go. He ordered the jerk chicken and I ordered curried chicken. Both meals were good. I would recommend this restaurant if you have a taste for Jamaican food. read more

Golden Krust - Curried chicken (small) - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I am a jamaican. I will comment on the jerk chicken only as I think it is the easiest meal to make. For heaven sake the jerk seasoning is pre made. I purchased the jerk chicken, it tasted as if they throw the chicken without it being seasoned on the grill. The chicken had no taste. I had to throw it out. read more

Delicious!! I had the Ackee & Saltfish. The Best I've had since moving here from CT. Very nice staff and good portions.

Really nice ppl. Great portions. Their attitudes are way better than the ppl at the Boston location lol.

I am always bet happy with their food however they run out of ackee fast so I have to get in there early. One older lady in there doesn't really pat attention to what you ask he to do and that get a irritating. Overall the are one of my favorite Jamaican restaurants in Cobb County. Try it out for yourself. I recommend stew chicken, ackee, butter beans, bun and cheese, and calaloo. :-) read more

OMG! Didn't know this was a "Chain" Restaurant! It doesn't matter, cuz this place is GrEaT!!!! They have a MASS Variety of options in there! This may become one of my "Lunch Break Go-To-Spots! I had the "5 Jerk Chicken Wings w/gravy for $3.99, a Jerk Chicken Patty for a buck & sum change, a Big piece of Coconut Cake w/raisins in it and a Jamaican Fruit punch! My tab was like $9 & sum change! Will I be back? Hell yeah! Nice place for a date with a "Down to Earth" woman too! read more

I am a huge FAN of West Indian/Caribbean food...but the Atlanta area lacks good West Indian food...so rarities like Golden Crust is a warm welcome to my tummy. I'm familiar with this place from NYC and the taste is consistent, since it is a chain. Curry goat, beef pattie, coco bread..excelente! read more

Ok so I'm not from Jamaica but I know plenty Jamaicans and the food here is definitely not Jamaican quality..... But I will say the beef patty was good..... Best I ever had. read more

Never really had anything from here I didn't like. Still a little too much crust on the patties, but other than that... I can't complain. Where else am I suppose to get Caribbean and/or Jamaican food in Kennesaw? :-) read more

Stopped in here at 6:30 on a Sunday and was stopped at the door and was told they had no food left. Will never return. All I wanted was a spicy beef patty. read more

Very first time trying foods representing the Islands. I had the large jerk chick plate with rice and peas. The food was very good! The people that worked in the establishment were very kind and warm. The pricing is affordable and the portions match. Will be returning very soon! read more

Not the best jerk chicken, but good. Patties are really the stars, with a flaky crust and plenty of filling. I don't really care for the baked goods, as they're... not exactly stale, but it feels like they've been left at the wrong temperature for too long. I can't call them "bad", but I also can't give them any points for effort. If I could divide up the review, I think it would be 4* for the patty, 3* for everything else, but I have to pick one or the other, so 3* it is for the lack of overall consistency. read more

Ever since moving here, we've been looking for a good place to get Caribbean / Jamaican food. On a recent trip to Toys R Us (right next to Golden Krust) we found this place. It had its initial appeal because it was so close to where we live. Not too long thereafter, I came across a lunch special coupon, and we decided to give it a go. We ordered the Stewed Chicken lunch special and two patties: spicy beef and chicken. To start, they messed up the patty order and we ended up with a spicy beef and a mild beef. That's forgivable, so long as the patties taste great...unfortunately, they did not. The patties themselves had too much crust and not enough filling. The flavor was all right, but I've had much, much better (my wife's family owns a Jamaican Beef Patty factory in Toronto, so we do have high standards in this regard). With this bad ratio of crust to filling, it was dry and relatively flavorless overall. On top of that, the spicy beef patty was only slightly spicier than the mild. The stewed chicken was tough and the sauce was overly heavy. It felt like it was made by someone who just doesn't seem to have much experience cooking Jamaican food. Golden Krust is a corporate chain, and the food tastes like you would expect from that sort of place -- kind of 'blah'. My wife, who grew up on this food, was unimpressed to say the least. In the end, all I can say is that I'm happy we had a coupon so we didn't spend too much money. I don't think a return trip will be happening at any point in the future. read more

Today is Sunday, and I didn't cook sunday dinner. Instead my hubby and I went shopping and went to Golden Krust for some oxtails. Well thank you Golden Krust, my oxtails were so good and I don't even care to much for rice but there's is to die for. I think the key is extra oxtail gravy. I've gone to Golden Krust in the Bronx plenty of times, and every time the food is just ok and they never seem to give you enough. Well that is not the case here, I couldn't even finish. And I'm glad, it gives me something to look forward to for lunch tomorrow. I will return very soon. read more

where do i begin? this place is just awesome! best caribbean food in atlanta. Love the food, love the staff. Everything always fresh. read more

Golden Krust - I absolutely love this place!!!! - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I was rushed to order by the young lady at the counter and it would have been helpful to know what items were not available for serving. The guy at the cashier was kind, however. Instead of going to Golden Krust, check out another Jamaican restaurant that i found in the same plaza as Wal-Mart on Chastain Meadows in Kennesaw. The service and the food is better. read more

This place is my guilty pleasure, the only thing I would say is that the soup was not to my liking but the food is sooooo good I want to slap somebody read more

Smelled great when I first walked in and I was the only person who didn't have an accent so seems very authentic. I got the Jerk chicken and the sauce was delicious. Great spot to get a quick plate of some Caribbean food and Bakery. read more

I was extremely excited about eating from this place yesterday after the positive feedback received from a friend. Well, sadly I was disappointed while trying to decide what I was going to order when I observed the lady behind the counter preparing food standing in the front scratching her head then taking her hand to rub across her hair. A customer then placed her order and this same lady went on to prepare the customer's order without even washing her hands. I was absolutely disgusted!! It's one thing to not know but to have seen it and I honestly waited to see if she was going to wash her hands to decide whether I was going to order or not. Unfortunately, she did not and I left and more than likely will not return. However, the customer service was good. read more

I was excited to see there's a Golden Krust on this side of town. I'm familiar with Golden Krust from Stone Mountain (as well as NY). For starters, the staff at this location really need to brush on their customer service skills. They weren't mean but they were not very welcoming and didn't seem appreciate our business. The young lady who took my order (with her interesting eye makeup) seemed to be daze. The other 2 individuals also left a lot to be desired as well. Now for the food, we ordered oxtails with peas and rice. We also purchased a beef pattie. Overall, the food was very good. The oxtails had just enough heat to them -not too spicy. The mixed vegetables were okay. The beef pattie was okay as well. I might try them again when I'm in the area. However, due to the lackadaisical reception we received I don't think it's worth a ride out of way to go there. BTW, there ARE a few other Caribbean restaurants in Cobb county. read more

Great service and the food is the best.The staff is very courteous and Professional, always welcome you with a lovely smile !!!!!!

Jerk chicken is my fave. Really good authentic Jamaican Love this place. I always eat here when I'm in the area read more

They have excellent jerk wings but you better get there early because they go fast!

Great to have this little Caribbean outpost amidst the Barrett/Town Center horror. Just went once for lunch so far and had the chicken curry with plantains dish, which was very good and very homey tasting. Cool--a chain restaurant that prepares food that does not taste like it comes off an assembly line. Also had a wonderfully moist, tasty coconut cake for dessert. Surprised about previous complaints about service--I found staff to be extremely friendly and helpful. Place has many options large or small, savory or sweet, and I look forward to trying more in the future. read more

Decent service however the food wasn't good at all. The Stone Mtn location is much better.

The oxtails are consistently AWESOME! The chicken soup is excellent when they're having a good day. Unfortunately, it's never consistent. One time, they actually gave me chicken soup without the chicken! After going back 3 times to correct or return my soup order, I stopped ordering it. read more

I was introduced to Golden Krust by a Jamaican friend of mine. My initial impression when we walked in was that I made a mistake going "outside the box" this time. My friend recommendeded the Jerk Chicken and being that I really had no idea what anything else on the menu was, I went with his suggestion. The dish comes with several peices of chicken, vegetables (mostly cabbage I think), rice and beans, and plaintains.The chicken was delicious and fell off the bone, I couldn't stop eating the rice and every time I have been back I order extra plaintains. The large order is enough for two to share for lunch. The only drawback is that they move extremely extremely slow. If there is anyone else in there, be prepared to wait. read more

Tasty, consistent but getting a little expensive. I would recommend giving them a shot but don't go expecting a wide variety a Jamaican food. read more

Honestly I am a huge fan of Golden Krust. I've eaten from this chain in several states. This was the most horrid experience I've had with their cuisine. I order two plates of oxtails from this location for my girlfriend and I. First and foremost it cost me more than at any other location I have eaten from. There is only a dollar difference between the large and small combo's. Both plates came out to over $30. Beside the expense I was hoping that the food would be delicious since it cost more than what I normally pay. I was extremely disappointed. The rice was mushy and over cooked. The oxtail themselves had a completely different taste than any other Golden Krust. It tasted more like beef stew than oxtails. The only satisfying part of the meal were the plantains. For a meal that cost over $30 I can't believe how bad it was. We literally ate the meat and throughout the rest of both plates. I've eaten Golden Krust in NY, NJ, Miami, and Orlando and can't believe how bad this GA location was. On top of all that the customer service experience was not the greatest either. It had no welcoming feel. Overall I wouldn't refer this place to anyone. I definitely wouldn't eat there again. I'm grateful I have had other experiences with the chain or I would have been completely turned off. read more
