    Brown stew chicken with vegetable rice and cabbage.
    Desiree H.

    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!

    Oxtail (Side Only)

    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.

    Curry goat, rice and peas, fried plantains, and steamed cabbage

    (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.

    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!

    the service is always fast and the people are friendly. I absolutely love their ackee and saltfish but the curry goat.....terrible. It has the be the nastiest Ive had in Raleigh. The taste is off and the aftertaste is even worse. I will stick to the breakfast

    Braised Oxtails, Vegetable Rice and Cabbage

    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!

    Browned chicken with rice, cabbage and plantains

    Browned chicken with rice, cabbage and plantains. This was my first time eating here and I wasn't disappointed at all. Great service, clean restaurant and good food. I asked for the extra sauce. Although it was good I won't recommend it since it comes with enough.

    Curried Chicken Roti
    Jalen J.

    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.

    The food was excellent. And the pineapple ginger juice the bomb. I recommend this restaurant.

This visit was also meaningful for us personally. Tomorrow is my 30th birthday, and since my husband had to leave today for military duty, this was our chance to celebrate together. I asked if it might be possible to have "30" written on the plate with sauce--just a small touch to mark the moment. I completely understand that Sunday mornings are busy and that staff have to keep things moving. Still, I was a bit disappointed when the request was declined. (I ended up making my own little design with my knife from the sauce, which was delicious)- It felt like a missed opportunity to create a memorable moment on a big day for us. And although I had zero other issues I couldn't help but leave remembering only that part of the experience. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great. I'm sharing this as gentle feedback, because small gestures like that can really make a lasting impression. People will forget what they ordered, but they won't forget how they felt when they left.

It's located next to Village District. I was greeted immediately by a nice young man. I asked for his hot food suggestion, and of course he suggested the waffles! I ordered a waffle with fresh bananas and Nutella...every bite was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a lavender latte and loved it. They sell scones from a local vendor and I had a gluten free orange cranberry scone which was also delicious. Benelux is spacious and has plenty of seating. Tables, high tops and even a couple of comfortable love seats.

We ordered lattes and other pastries, and they were all delicious. I met the new owners when I stopped by, and they shared their new plans for upgrades and improvements. They own other coffee shops in Colombia, so I'm guessing those improvements will be good. It is located in a shopping plaza centrally located. If you are not from the area, the GPS will take you straight to it. There is a parking lot for the entire shopping plaza with free parking. If you like to work in coffee shops, this one gets a bit busy and noisy at times. Keep that in mind. The staff was friendly and helpful. The space is comfortable and common areas are clean. Overall, 100% recommended.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years! If you are looking for a coffee nearby, jubala (pendo), black & white (videri), heirloom are all great options (and sir Walter coffee and 42 & Lawrence are decent and close)

    A cute breakfast place in Downtown Raleigh that gets very busy! I came immediately after landing at…read morethe airport to get brunch on a weekday around noon. The place was crowded but there was no wait. I got seated immediately at a table near a column in the middle of the restaurant and Christy came over and asked if I wanted anything to drink. She brought me iced water and gave me time to look at the menu. I wanted to try so many things and I was too optimistic about ordering 3 things and finishing them myself. Good thing I only ordered 2 things! An order of fried catfish with home fries and one egg. And a biscuit with sausage gravy. The fried catfish was salted and well fried. It tasted delicious for my first bite! The home fries were basically cut potatoes, but they weren't very fried or flavored. I wished I ordered the side of apple sauce instead. The biscuit and sausage was good, but a bit too much for one person after eating a separate order already. Definitely bring more people so you can try more things. Also, I wished I had asked for sausage gravy on the side so I can try the biscuit on its own first as well. Furthermore, I would have more time to eat the catfish so I wasn't worried about the biscuit getting soggy. Christy came to check up on me every now and then. The place was buzzing with people and decorations so I didn't feel so alone. When it was time to pay, Christy brought me the check for me to pay at the cash register. Both Christy and the cashier were so friendly! The restaurant does have a women's and a mens restroom if needed.

    This casual downtown Raleigh restaurant has a very authentic Southern vibe. From the red-and-white…read morechecked tablecloths to the other old-fashioned decor and the Southern cuisine menu offerings, you will know you are in North Carolina when you dine here. Walking in feels like you've stepped into a time capsule from a few decades back (for those who like that retro feel - I usually opt for more modern/contemporary vibes so this was a change of pace for me). Its downtown location adds to the retro feel because it is in a quaint marketplace area with cobblestone walkways. And they serve breakfast all day which is great if you are a breakfast lover like me. They have fantastic omelets. I tried the veggie omelet and it was delicious. Service was good. We were promptly seated and our waiter appeared rather quickly too. The food was served soon after ordering.

I tried the passionfruit mango cruffin and the brown butter crookie. Both were spot on with their flavors. The passionfruit cream was especially noteworthy for being packed with flavor and yet not too sweet. The layers of pasty were perfection. There's one spot to order, though they do a brisk takeout business. Once ordered, items come out quickly. There is some seating, and if you order to stay, then they'll bring your items to the table. The vibe is bright and semi industrial with some pastel colors to soften it up. I love the bright windows, even if you're just looking out on the car's parked right outside!

This bakery is definitely born from the Dominique Ansel/Supermoon Bakehouse era, and they are executing very well. (I've had some baaaad knockoff cruffins/cronuts/croissant hybrids, but this place is killing it.)
