I called to place my order for two things, beef patty and plantains, before asking what I even wanted he asked if I would present my ID and the card being used when I got there that matches the ID... I told him I'm not doing all that, I can see if the order was over 15/20$ but it was like 10$ .. must've been scammed. Anyways, had to go place my order inside . Patties were okay, simple, basic jerk chicken patty, not spicy at all heads up. Plantains were good, some bites tasted weird read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! We're here at 7:30, they close at 8. The older lady had an attitude and never spoke. We got a large plate that comes with two sides, cabbage and plantains. They're out of cabbage, so we asked if we could get the macaroni instead. She said no, with more attitude. We asked if it comes with 2 sides, and you're out of 1, can we substitute. She said no again. Mind you they have a full pan and a half of more macaroni (that looks old and dry, btw) there's no other customers and again, they close in 25 min. The experience was distasteful and unnecessary. Therefore we don't recommend and won't return again. As we were leaving out, someone told me, "They always have attitude in here." WOW. Not a good reputation to have. read more

The amount of flavor in one to go box is off the chart! I ordered the small plate and there was enough for 2 meals. Highly recommend. The staff is friendly, service is counter order and fast, food is great, and the price is right! read more

horrible customer service and horrible attitudes with subpar food. will not be back, besides they share walls with a cremation company. That's probably why the energy is so off read more

The food is always amazing. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The food is always delicious, and they give you a good amount. The restaurant is always clean and organized. I absolutely love their steamed cabbage, oxtails and plantains. It's in a very nice location with lots of parking space. read more

I paid $26 for a large curry chicken when the sign in the store says $17. I called and asked how much it was after realizing how much they charged me and the man in the phone said it's $22.... So how much is it cause that's 3 different prices. read more

Wasn't impressed with the meal or 1 particular staff member attitude. 2nd time trying food at this franchise and neither location did it for me. Pricey and not very tasty compared to some of the other local favorites. Perhaps it was the brown stew dish particularly or the fact that it was dark meat. To each his own! read more

Golden Krust - Brown stew chicken with vegetable rice and cabbage. - Caribbean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

People are nice and they stay busy but I was hungry and looking for some good Jamaican food. Not the flavors I was seeking.

Food was awful. No taste. Veggies super oily. Rice was not fully cooked with little to no beans . I am highly dissapointed. Gives Jamaican food a bad name. I have had great Jamaican food but the food from here was lowsy. read more

Food was good! Placed an online order, picked the plate up food was wrapped in Saran Wrap. Got the plate home and was disappointed :( Oxtails plate had a total of 4 small oxtails on the plate, now I'll just go inside to order so that I'll know what they are putting on my plate! read more

The Ox tails are delicious! Fall off the bone tender with great Jamaican flavor. Three stars for me only because the Mac n Cheese was very bland and small on top of a small portion. Chocolate cake was decent could've been more moist. The Ox tails made up for the other two. read more

(I rarely give 5 stars so 4 is pretty good.) Bright, busy new location of the NY chain located near BJ's just south of 540. Staff is entirely masked, as are most of the customers. Limited indoor seating and pre-ordering available. The staff is super friendly, polite, and helpful. We tried: Spicy beef and curry chicken patties - excellent. Curry goat - tasty, good amount of heat, and not too bony Brown stew chicken - nothing really wrong, just not my favorite rendition locally. A little sweet tasting. Salt fish and ackee - on the breakfast menu but may be available later in the day. I'm not into salt fish, but it got good reviews. All meals ordered were Small and the servings were very generous. Meals come with rice and 2 sides. We opted for rice and peas, which were very flavorful, steamed cabbage, which needed a little salt, and fried plantains, which are what they are, which is to say sweet and delicious. The salt fish came with dumplings, which had a warm spice flavor. Escovitch fish is cooked to order and takes about 20 minutes so ordering ahead would be a good move. The restaurant also has various Jamaican beverages and baked goods. read more

I'm not a fan of anything too spicy or extreme on the heat level but Golden Krust's Chee-Zee Beef Patty was soooo good. Too good actually because I went and ordered another one! The perfect flaky crust and the delicious filling with the perfect amount of spice. Not too overpowering. Which I loved. We also ordered the Curried Chicken Roti ( eating soon! ) The workers were so friendly and patience with us as we ordered. They greeted us with a smile and helped us in a timely fashion. This location has plenty of seating, great music playing at a reasonable volume, plenty of parking, and two TVs as well playing a range of things. The ambiance was very welcoming, open, and inviting that we sat down to eat for a little while. Can't wait to try other things on the menu! read more

I ordered the curry chicken with vegetables, but it was undercooked and hard to notice due to the thick gravy. Some staff members weren't friendly, and I've had issues with the food before. It'll be a while before I return, although it is always clean. read more

Delicious! I had been craving some oxtails and was in the area and decided to give Golden Crust a try. I am so glad I did, the amount of food, and flavor was perfect for me. I will gladly drive 30 mins to this spot anytime. The server was patient as I made my choices they had so much to choose from, lol. I was very impressed at the cleanliness. I'm totally going back! read more

I'm New to Raleigh from NY with real authentic Jamaican food is. so I went here for jerk chicken @12:55pm and the women before me order the same plate I wanted to order so they gave her jerk chicken and it was about two pieces left in the tray so now it's my turn to order they tell me they don't have no more jerk chicken...because I wanted a fresh tray I'm not eating nobody bottom of the tray and your not charging me for 2 pieces while ordering a large gtfoh...what like how don't you have a new tray of jerk chicken to be served at a Jamacian resturant. not even 1 pm and your dont have more chicken cooking up on the grill. They were ok with telling a customer they don't have no more food at 1pm. I substituted for curry goat and rice and peas. it was disgusting..for $15 the rice was NOT Shelly and it was a burnt taste probably the bottom of the pot. mind you this is 1pm and they close by 7. I would neverrr ever spend my money here again nor would I recommend anyone else to either. this specific food chain is trash. as a fellow Jamaican I'm embarrassed that they are claiming my culture. shut this place down now! read more

The food was amazing 100%. I had the Jerk Chicken, which was cooked to perfection with the right spicyness. Sides of Rice & beans with plantains & cabbage were seasoned just right! You're missing out if you haven't been here. Try the spicy beef patty too, I can guarantee you'll walk out with another one. read more

Food is so bomb. 10/10 would recommend. Staff was very kind, very hospitable. The dude just kept adding more and more to the plate. It was great. read more

Being new to the south I didn't know how things are completely different than you north and that includes the food. I've heard stories about golden crusts up north so I never even thought to try them once I moved down here. BOY was that a mistake lol. Me and my partner were running some errands and we wanted a nice bite to eat, golden crust was in the area and after checking the menu from our fellow yelpers we decided to head over there and grab some patties and a roti. We ordered a jerk chicken patty, cheeze Beef patty and a curried chicken roti. The roti is made to order so unknowingly we did a smart thing by ordering two Patties and a roti because once we were done with our patties our roti was coming right out. Those Patties were De-Lic-ious, if you are a fan of some heat you'll love the jerk chicken patty, the dough was crispy and flaky, the jerk mixture wasn't to wet that it messed the dough up it was delicious. The cheeze beef was amazing, the cheese was melted and mixed in with the beef so there was no bite that you didn't get cheeze beef. They were so good that we thought about getting two more patties but we waited and good thing we did. This chicken roti was amazing. The chicken just fell apart as you ate it, it was full of flavor like it's been stewing in the curry for hours, legit fall of the bone tender. This was perfect for us to share but you can easily get one for yourself as a meal. Chicken roti and some rice and beans and you'll have enough for leftovers for lunch the next day. I will for sure be a frequent customer as golden crust I have my eye set on trying a few more patties and a few more rotis and I know if it's anything like the food we had it's going to be really good. read more

Not the best Jamaican food, but not the worst somewhere to go for a quick good service I can't say the place is spotless one of the cleanest fast food places I ever been in my life Typical fast food ambience but again very clean read more

An incredible place to get authentic Jamaican food specifically the oxtail for me in any state you happen to be in you can't go wrong

The service was great. It was my first time here and I think overall the food was good. My favorite was the oxtails, very tender and flavorful. The goat meat was also tender could use a bit more flavor but still good with some nice heat. Vegetables was average & rice was bland it's better with some of the oxtail gravy on it. read more

Was a 5 but had to change it to a 3. The food still tastes great but the other aspects of the business is lacking. If you order online, do NOT order from their website because it does not give you all of the full options you should have. Like plantains...it is supposed to come with your meal but it is not selectable on their website sooooo...no plantains for you lol. The second reason for the 3 is this is the second time in a row that they have left off my beef patty. They charged me for it but keep forgetting to put one in my bag. Spent $67 and even gave them a tip for a pick up order and don't get what I paid for. To top it off, the patty wasn't even for me so another meal missing a component. Either I'll have to inspect my order or just choose another restaurant next time. Inspecting isn't made easy considering they plastic wrap your food to prevent spilling (which is great!) but you won't find out your disappointment until you get home. read more

Golden Krust was excellent the food portion is huge. Customer service was great and I enjoyed the atmosphere. My first time eating there and I'm definitely going back. My favorite thus far !!! read more

Best Golden Krust I've ever experienced. From customer service care to the overall taste of the food. As a Guyanese, I could say this place does us Carribean well! They always are accommodating, and when you order the food to when you pick it up, it's the same presentation, and not every establishment can say that. I've gone to the Raleigh location twice before knowing this location, and I will never go back. The food quality is not the same, and the customer service is as well. Thank you for always being so kind. My husband and I love coming here! read more

I had reservations about trying another Golden Crust after trying the one in Durham, but this food tasted much better and had a completely different flavor. The oxtail and jerk pork are phenomenal and they are one of the only places in this area that serves Roti! read more

Poor customer service! I just tried to order and the male staff was dismissive and snarky! I was asking questions that were not hard, but he did not care about providing good customer service. He said "not gon make me stress" under his breath. I knew it was time to leave. They may have good food, but please work on customer service skills. read more

Who is seasoning this food?! All of the meats are too spicy. Brown stew chicken and curry chicken shouldn't be overly spicy. Please work on this and do better. Patties are ok. Coco bread is good. The biggest issue is choking down on an extremely over spicy dish. read more

Simple but fabulous Caribbean fare. Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious!

The worst Jamaican food I have ever had. I lived in the DC/MD area for over 16 years and never had flavorless Jamaican food. My favorite place was the Jerk Pit in College Park, MD. Their Red Snapper was right every time. The Red Snapper I purchased from here was flavorless with a fishy element. I was glad I purchased some jerk sauce, just for it to be edible. The rice and peas were flavorless. I wonder if they even used coconut milk to make it. To add insult to injury, the plantains were not sweet. I do not understand how this place gets any business or stars. Again, the absolute worst Jamaican food I have ever had. I have made better at home and I am not Jamaican. read more

Food was great! I had a chicken patty and cocoa bread and these were great! My sister had the curry shrimp and loved it.

Awesome, filling, flavorful, authentic... I'm running out of superlatives! Seriously great food. Portions are beyond generous. The ox tails and jerk chicken are phenomenal. read more

Don't order on-line as the prices to order from Grubhub, Uber Eats, Door Dash are much more expensive and the food is a cafeteria style. The jerk chicken and sides were good (though I ordered fried plantains as a side but received steam vegetables (so check your order before leaving)). read more

I'm from NY so I'm biased when it comes to food. Needless to say Golden Krust was a go to when we got out of school to grab some beef patties on the way home. I was looking for some food before I went to work and I saw that this location was open! I ordered the curry chicken rices and peas and vegetables. The rice was bland but the chicken was really tasty and the vegetables were ok. I will give them another chance because they are a up north favorite! read more

The food is amazing I eat here at least twice a week the service is a 10 out of 10 I love this place and don't forget to get dessert
