Service is always good but the food could be better, flavor wise. I feel like it's hit or miss but lately kind of been a miss. I usually go through the drive through but if I do need to go inside, it's usually pretty clean & the line moves quick. read more

When customer asked if the chicken soup still has chicken left in the pot...why would you lie to make a sale & sell them 2 large chicken soup yesterday day that had no chunks of chicken by plenty of chicken bones in both containers!! We ordered them yesterday to eat today for lunch along with our curry chicken plates we ate yesterday. Had I known how deceptive your employee was being I wouldn't have given a tip!!!!! You will not see us patronizing your restaurant for quite some time. We will go to the location in Snellville whose employees seem to be a lot more honest!! They've told us before when the soup is out of chicken!!!! What is chicken soup without the "Chicken"??? You should be shamed but probably aren't because of your greed to make a sale!!! read more

Horrible . Woman make me a roti that she put im yhr microwave, which made it very hard. Stupid.

This Golden Krust service is one the absolute worst when it comes to customer service! The women have attitudes on a daily and I have been a loyal customer for quite sometime. This particular day the lady who took my order over the phone was extremely rude! As soon as I arrived to pickup my food she saw me and walked directly to the back. Whispered something to another lady grabbed my to go order then gave it to another women to give to me. Then I asked the other lady can I speak to a manager she said the manager wasn't there. Then said she's the manager. Jadine J Don't worry I will never patronize this establishment again after today!!!!If you think there's any discrepancy in my statement I implore you to review the camera footage on the day of July 6th 2025 at approximately 10:25am-10:33am. read more

Do not order from the knockout off JA restaurant. I ordered via STEW CHICKEN WITH RICE AND SPINACH. Only to receive YELLOW rice with peas and mixed vegetables and 3 small pieces of chicken. It wouldn't even get a child full, let alone a grown man. Do not Waste your funds, especially in this economy. read more

The customer service was great!! This was my first time visiting this restaurant and they had a lot of options so it took me a while to order. I asked questions about ingredients (because of my allergies ) and they were answered with pleasure. I felt comfortable with the answers I was provided and that means a lot. I had the agave lemonade and a curry chicken Patty w/co-do bread. Everything was delicious. Everything in there looked like it tasted delightful but I didn't have time to place a major order. I will definitely return when I'm in this area again. read more

No... Just NO! If only the oxtails would have cooked about 45min longer, they would have been tender how I like them, then maybe I would have added pepper sauce and ate them. I usually come here for the spicy beef patties which are good when fresh and my daughter likes the curry chicken which is a hit or miss she says. Tonight I really was trying to get home out of hurricane Idas rain and didn't wanna cook. The Chickfila next door was packed per usual so I didnt go there. Lets just say I wasted $25 for really 3 med piece/5 small pieces of flavorless oxtails and the rice looked like mushy short grain rice Smh. I usually read reviews first...Dammit!! Come on now Golden Crust. read more

Ate at Golden crust for the 1st time had a beef pattie and a spicy patty...the sevice was great the gentleman who served may helped me pick something out and a was very helpful... ambiance was relaxed and the carribean music transported me away from many of my troubles. Thanks for a great experience! read more

The food was not good. The rice is dry and fish is salty. The veggie Pattie was just nasty. On top of that the attitude of the person there was rude. Also, Mac and cheese was hard and overall just nasty. read more

Well cooked Jamaican food. Great spicy beef patties! It always smells wonderful inside and they got a 100 on their latest inspection.

The young lady at the front was very pleasant however then a very rude, loud and obnoxious woman came from the back. You understand how hard it is to find good help when they are forced to accept these caliber of employees. One would expect top quality service considering how expensive the menu. Management needs to remedy their personnel issues. read more

I bought the small oxtail meal. The server loaded half the plate up with rice. And then began putting the oxtails on top. I got five total. The oxtails were good and, I would consider buying it again if they were to add 5 more meat bones in the meal. But for the price point of $25, 5 meat bones not worth $25. Unless that is you're just have a satiating craving. $15 for a small oxtail meal of 5 bones is more reasonable in my opinion. read more

Golden Krust - Small Oxtail meal - Caribbean Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

The oxtails are great, however the jerked chicken isn't all of that. The jerked chicken isn't done on a smoking pit like native Jamaicans would do it so there's no flare there. As I know of the increasing prices we all face, I'm guessing it's a fair price since oxtails are now around $17-18 per pound from stores and butcher shops near us. read more

Golden Krust - Oxtails $25.99 for a large. - Caribbean Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

Perhaps the most delicious location of Golden Crust - i've ever eaten at, hands-down. This family owned franchise was immaculate and had some of the freshest Jamaican food, outside of South Florida. The restaurant seating area was closed due to Covid so I only took out but one of the managers there was so helpful and friendly he wrapped the styrofoam to go containers with Saran-wrap - so it would. It spill. It was done so professional it was as if it was going to to a catering job. I got the large oxtail with a side of gravy and rice and a couple of fresh baked Jamaican patties. OMG - can't wait for them to move closer to my home ;) read more

I'm not a big fan of any golden krust establishment cause none of them have good tasting Jamaican food but the other morning i ran in here after my dr visit behind the building to grab a bite to eat eat since i was rising an it was early i made it in time for breakfast which i had salt fish an fried dumpling an let me tell you it was real good it i was real hungry lol man i ate it so fast i almost forgot to save my bf some lol i like that they had the option to rather get ackee with it or without it most places always have it together but they had both options an some good ass fried dumpling i definitely recommend there breakfast or salt fish an dumpling from here ok only think i did not like was the little bones in the salt fish an it was a little oily . read more

Caribbean food is such a guilty pleasure - especially since the food is cooked slowly with love. So YES i was so glad to see a fast casual Caribbean restaurant (although I believe it's a chain) near where I was working at that morning. There are daily specials for around $5.99 but I was lured in by the sight of oxtails, which is basically double the price. The flavor on those oxtail with the sauce and rice was so tasty. I also got a beef patty and it was so tasty when heated up! It went well with the sweet grapefruit ting (my first ting ever) which is basically a sugary sweet La Croix (Lol). Location wise... it's super far for me. It's hard to justify driving all the way out here for food. But that beef patty... and those oxtails. Maybe I'll be here again this weekend... read more

I have been ignoring and driving past this spot for the longest. I like to think of myself as somewhat of a Caribbean food connoisseur and I have certain spots that I frequent because I love the food and they never let me down. I have now moved a bit far from my favorite spot so I came here for convenience. first of all they have a drive thru, that made me quite excited I must admit Excitement died b/c either the speaker was broken or the person taking orders was broken but I had to repeat my order multiple times. I went with the stew chicken with rice and peas and steamed veggies, and a side of mac. I really enjoyed the mac, I'd definitely get that again. Everything else was meh. The veggies were bland and boring and the chicken was a little dry. The meal just lacked that authentic carribean/Jamaican flavor. I would give it another go because it wasn't outright terrible but there's room for improvement! read more

I'm easily a fan of this place for three main items: Curry Goat, Oxtails and BBQ Pork Ribs (in that order). I've yet to try any of the fish menu items, but the chicken items such as curry chicken and jerk chicken were just slightly above average. However, the BBQ Jerk Chicken is outstanding!!! The beef patties are good, but the mac n' cheese is not (although it looks amazing). The stars of the show are the three I mentioned in the beginning of my review and the BBQ Jerk Chicken. Aside from those menu items, I like the quickness of the service. They typically have several people waiting to take your order, so the line moves quickly. Some of the staff are more about efficiency than friendliness... at least to non-regulars like myself. [ favorite items in order ] CURRY GOAT - 5 stars OXTAILS n' GRAVY - 4 BBQ PORK RIBS - 4 stars BBQ JERK CHICKEN - 4.5 stars BEEF PATTIES - 4 stars JERK CHICKEN - 3.5 stars CURRY CHICKEN - 3.5 stars STEWED CHICKEN - 3.5 stars [ items I still need to try ] Escovitch Fish Fried Chicken Ackee & Saltfish Chicken Patty Jerk Chicken Patty Shrimp Patty Red Peas Soup Pineapple Ginger (drink) Carrot Juice (drink) The restaurant itself always seems to be well kept in all areas, from the floors to the tables to the food display area and restrooms. I greatly appreciate cleanliness in restaurants because to me it shows pride and quality. FINAL THOUGHTS Great place for Caribbean eats, especially Curry Goat & BBQ Jerk Chicken! The service is fast, the food is tasty and the restaurant is clean. Recommended! 2020 / 19 read more

Ive never had a full Caribbean meal and was excited to try oxtail for the first time. And before you judge I didn't have that all that by myself- I shared with the fam :) 1. The oxtail was good. It didn't make me go WOW but I do understand the appeal. It's cooked in a subtly sweet sauce that pairs well with white rice and has fall of the bone tenderness. 2. Goat: I'm not a fan of curry and goat but this curried goat passed my "can I eat a meal of this" test. I'm Nigerian and since goat is apart of Nigerian cuisine I looked to my parents for their opinion and they gave it a stamp of approval. "I appreciate this goat meat" 3. Jerk chicken: matched my last jerk chicken experiences. If you love jerk chicken this will deliver what you expect. 4. Not a fan of the meat pie. I could partial to the west African version! Note: they had a tasty looking red snapper on display and a few barbecue chicken options that made my mouth water. I'll give those a shot if I ever go back! read more

Golden Krust - Mild Beef Patty, Jerk Chicken (Side Only), Braised Oxtail, Curried Goat - Caribbean Near Me - Lawrenceville, Georgia

This restaurant over priced their meal. The large boxes are really medium, and then they charge their customers another fee to use debit/credit card. My family visit recently and ordered the large stew chicken, it was skin, fat, bone and over cooked and SMALL PORTION SIZE. They increased the price on all the meals but giving less but taking more money from their customers. We were very unhappy with the purchase. Personally, I taste better grocery TV dinner meals, for less. This place do not care about their customers just money hungry. I have NO Interest visiting this restaurant again and the service was poor. read more

I was so looking forward to Curry Chicken for Lunch.... I sadly received a plate full of thigh and leg chicken bones with rice and beans. I asked for extra gravy, no extras provided. The plantains were to big and not really cooked.... This place is a hit and miss spot. Sometimes its right, sometimes its not.-Shoulder Shrug read more

Went to the drive through to order a small spice bun. The sign had it advertised for $6.99, however, by the time I got to the window, it had increased to $9.99. When I brought it to the cashier's attention, she said, "sorry," however offered no explanation. When I went inside, the cashier said I was looking at the hard dough bread. Confirmed and took a picture of the pricing list, but there was no offer to correct the overpayment. Poor customer service!!!!! read more

I didn't enjoy my food!! The rice and peas ( beans) was made with brown food coloring and with little to no peas! Golden Krust needs to step up their game or else we are going to eat at some other Jamaican restaurants! Give the people what they want Good Tasting Jamaican Food read more

A lot of Golden Krust chains can be a hit or miss but this location was actually pretty good. This restaurant has the option of drive-through, pick up, or order inside the restaurant. I chose to order inside. There is a table barrier so it's hard to read the menu but the employees were nice enough, and the lady let me know of the prices. They have four choices of rice: rice and peas, white rice, vegetable rice, or yellow rice. I received a large portion of curry goat and another order of brown stew chicken. I appreciated the huge portions. I paid at the register, but beware that they now implement an extra service charge of 4%, which I did not appreciate. Overall, the food was plentiful and fresh, and the beef patty was tasty as well! I came around 6:00 on a Friday evening and luckily just beat the dinner rush crowd. read more

I love golden krust !!! The service is outstanding, and the music and food will always be top notch. my favorite golden krust in georgia .

I've driven by a couple of times and including tonight, it looked empty. My aunt was very skeptical because she claimed empty restaurants are a sign of their quality but we were craving something Caribbean so we decided to take a chance. The place is not pretty but it's clean and the staff is very nice and helpful. They have a hot bar and offer sizes small and large with a meat option, rice option, cabbage and platains. The person behind the glass will ask if you want gravy on your rice and you will say yes. Oh my goodness! The oxtail gravy with rice and peas, amazing! My favorite dish here is the jerk pork but everything we tried was good. In regards to an empty place, it's not. People kept pouring in, mainly for take- out, but it never stopped. This place may not be as great as other Jamaican restaurants but it's definitely worth a try. read more

Seriously despicable. Patties purchased around 9:30 this morning. I'm not sure if this is yesterday's, Saturday, or Friday's old patty but I'm so disgusted by the quality of this. The patty is $2.35 plus their 4% tax since covid and they least they can do is serve fresh food. I haven't been impressed with this location in awhile but decided to give them a try again. What's so hard in discarding left over food and serving fresh food, or give it for free if you don't want to see it waste. Stop selling people stale food!!!!! read more
