Golden Krust is always a go-to for me. I always get the rice and peas with oxtails, and the portions are huge! The oxtails are tender and full of flavor every single time. The staff is so friendly and they actually remember me whenever I come in, which makes the experience even better. Great food, huge portions, and friendly atmosphere, highly recommend! read more

Golden Krust - Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The 7.99 lunch combo does it every time for me. I ordered a beef patty, wings, and curry combo for just $17.78. I was a little upset they gave me a chicken patty instead of beef but it was just as good. Golden Krust will forever be my go to spot when I'm pressed for time. The lunch combo paired with a Kola Champagne kept me full for the entire day. read more

food was disgusting no flavor chicken was raw literally had blood in it i had to throw it away in the trash worst food ever and it's so expensive $31 for 2 meals. read more

This is it! If you are not from Tampa but are Caribbean food connoisseur like myself this is the spot for you! Everything down to the silverware tastes good in this place . I got curry goat, curry chicken, cabbage, and rice and peas! Everything was flavorful and seasoned to perfection! Rice and peas was so good I damn near ate the peas and then the rice separately to make the meal last longer. Would have been 5 stars if they had roti the day I came but that's my fault for not calling first. read more

So good! I've tried my fair share of jamaican food and this one is very good. they have a ton of variety. easy menu. they offer rice and peas, white rice, dumplings and banana which most place do not offer. we got two of the brown stew fish, one with white rice since the rice and peas were not available, cabbage and plantains and one with dumpling and banana. It was good, not very different from the regular snapper more of a tomato taste. We will definitely be back. read more

This location always has the best pattys and chicken soup my husband begs me to get him soup from here often and we live over an hr away but its worth it its so delicious read more

Everything tastes fantastic and fresh except the patties. I think they've been sitting too long and they're sort of cold and mushy with hardened edges. The portions are huge and the large is enough for 3 people. The Mac n cheese is salty. I like my Mac like that but if you don't then avoid. I ordered stew peas on Uber Eats and they didn't have any so they called and gave me curry goat without making me pay the difference and I really appreciated that. I highly suggest you call to see what's available before ordering through any app. Overall, I'd definitely order from here again. read more

I always heard of ox tails and rice this place nailed it!!! A lot of food for a small , i'll definitely be back

My husband and I absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh and you can tell it's made with tons of love! a their food heals the soul! I previously wrote in the Uber Eats notes thanking them for their service and letting them now how much we appreciate their service and that if we were on death row their restaurant would be our choice of a last meal! And, I meant it! Marie and Jules actually gave us a call to thank us for our support after viewing our note and that warmed not only their hearts but ours as well! We cherish good food and good customer service and they're outstanding in both!! I can't add pics yet bc our food hasn't arrived yet but once it does I definitely will update! I just couldn't hold this review in!! A1 all around!! read more

I've order from this location before and it felt like home, but I tell you what. This time Brown Stew chicken taste like too much ketcup and too sweet. No Jamiacain Authentic Flavor on this day. NO PEAS in the rice & PEAS. and beef patty made me feel nausea, not sure whats going on this is one of my favoriate places to eat. Nothing like GOLDEN KRUST ON GUNHILL ROAD BRONX NEW YORK. Maybe we need to get some better cooks at this location cause not good at all. With food so expensive now and days, If im gonna order out im expecting the FOOD TO BE WORTH IT, I could have dont this AT HOME. Please dont let this happen again, let get it together, Somebody forgot to put Love into the food when cooking on this day. ONE LOVE!!!!! read more

The food is very good. It is one of the closest that you can come to the authentic Jamaican food. However, the customer service is crappy. Today was my first time back in this store for a very long time (& this is comming from at least 4 visits per week for lunch, not snacks) and the manager reminded me of why I had stopped shopping there. They are rude to customers, unwilling to satisfy the customers (especially if they are not Caucasian), you're charged extra or things that you pay for are not included in the bag when you get to your destination. I watched them cut a breast in 2 for a meal & told the customer after she inquired that it is too much to give her.....(& this was what the customer paid for). Nancy seems to be the only one on the counter who is trying to do her job well.....great job NANCY! If I return, I would only want to be served by you but will not be returning. read more

Great food and excellent service. I had a great experience and would love to go again

Food was Jamaican flavored the rice and beans was not red kidney beans which is typical in the rice and beans , I ordered oxtail but it had a little too much picka pepper sauce and did not taste like the oxtail flavor I like . I also ordered jerk pork and this is my first time having jerk pork prepared this way , I did not taste the intense jerk flavor in this dish , will not order this dish again . I am surprised at the taste of the food which I usually enjoy when eating at a Golden Krust franchised restaurant Will I eat at this restaurant again yes but I will be very careful of what I order . The staff was very welcoming and friendly and I hope on my next visit I will see an improvement in the overall menu Because I love Jamaican food . read more

It wasn't the traditional recipe for oxtails that I was expecting. I prefer the traditional. Although it was good. The cabbage was different as well and no plantains. read more

I really like the food here, but lately they have been out of patties on multiple visits. I stopped in on a Friday around 6:00 pm and no patties of any kind. I then stopped in on a Monday afternoon and they have a sign on the door advertising "Monday's, dollar patties." Guess what, no patties. Used to be a great place but starting to slip. Take the sign down so that customers are not misled. read more

Went to the Tampa Hillsborough location for jerk chicken, it seems I received bbq spicy chicken instead.

This is the 3rd Golden Crust franchise that I've been to in Tampa Bay and I'm least impressed with this one. The rice and peas, oxtail and curry goat I got from here was just okay. I also think their patties are decent. Were they the most memorable dishes I had where I can't wait to come back? No. What was memorable was the Roti that I ordered as I was shocked to see it on the menu. I don't remember the other two golden crusts ever offering Roti. Huge mistake, my order was. One of the worst Roti I've ever had. A rubbery mess. I may stop back in for a patty, but there are better choices for Jamaican/Caribbean food town. read more

Came here about 2 weeks ago while visiting Tampa from Jax. The spot was a really good find overall. Really satisfied my yearning for some tasty quick Caribbean Food. I ordered the curry chicken, rice and peas, veggies on the side, strawberry cake, and plantains. All tasted really good, only giving two stars because we tipped the front counter lady 30% (20 dollars) and she forgot our plantains. We were like the only two ppl there so it wasn't like she was the least bit busy...and I was really looking forward to those. They give you good portions as well, like all Caribbean restaurants for the most part..but check your bags before leaving! read more

If you close at a certain time and a customer is there before your closing, take the time to acknowledge the customer, don't stay in the back and say nothing, I'll be going somewhere else from now on read more

This is a hidden gem that competes with the local jerk hut. Specifically, their lunch curry goat and oxtail. They always provide generous portions. Their lunch special prices are unbeatable. I've always ordered take out;however, there are a few tables to sit at if you can't wait to eat. My only suggestion would be to arrange uber eats deliveries so that I could order more frequently. And as expected, their meat patties are amazing. I love supporting local hidden gems and I will always come back to this establishment. read more

Golden Krust - Curry goat, rice and beans, vegetables , plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Golden Krust is a restaurant franchise that is as popular as KFC in Manhattan. I would often frequent these shops late at night for a snack, or even for breakfast. Since it is a franchise are of these shops are run differently and have different specials. So when I saw that they just opened two in Tampa, I had to go and see if it met the NYC standards. The best thing here is the meat patties; I recommend the Spicy Beef or the Curry patties. If you have never had meat patties, they are similar to empanadas, but with more of a tender croissant like crust. Golden Krust is known for their crust being a yellow color from the food dye that they put in it. Also, make sure to drink an original or pink grapefruit Ting with your patties for the full experience. They also have other items like Curry Goat and other types of stews. But, I come here for two patties and a Ting. read more

I had their curry goat, brown chicken lunch special. The dish included rice ( or with bean) , meat, cabbage . They tasted good with big portion. Not so bad for a nutrient balancing meal under 10 dollar. My favorite of this place is the jerk chicken wings. For only 3.99, I got 6 pieces of meaty, sweet and spicy tasty wings. The jerk chicken wing was baked instead of fried or grill. So they were healthier than those fried wings we usually get from restaurant. There are couple tables and chairs for customers to dine in. Most people buy the food to go. Different cakes, bread, sweet and drinks are sold here . The girls behind the counter did a decent job as far as the service. read more

The people working here were so nice. I never tried Caribbean food,. and they had a hot plate where they show all that is available. They had different types of chicken, beef, and oxtail. They were all stews. I was able to try all of them out, and then pick from what I liked. The prices were not bad at all, and they had huge servings. I also tried the pasties which are like spanish empanadas. I am glad I tried the food. I know now how it is. It's a tiny bit spicy for me, so I don't think I will have it again, but glad I know that I have tried it. The people here were very generous, and were happy to tell me all about their food. read more

This place is pretty good. I like the curry and jerk and if you're looking for big portions you'll be that here too

Love the food but they never have enough plantains, for years they are mostly out by 1 pm and this item is included with the meal, I never really understood the shortage. read more

What's not sure about this place. I was going to a place next door but remember how rude they were to me. Glad I came in here. I had the chicken with the rice and beans. I was unaware the potatoes and carrots came with it as well. If you are Southern this will hit your heart right where your grandmother would make your stew!! It waz a delight to say the least. Miss Marie helped me choose my food. It was an impressive experience! Thank you read more

Very rude employees. We were loyal customers because of the tasty food until one day one of the employee was overly rude, we couldn't take it anymore. read more

I ordered a curry goat platter and escoveitch platter .... both were HORRIBLE! Given the fact that Golden Krust is synonymous with excellence, this particular location was a major FAIL! Will not be returning nor will I recommend this place!!! read more

I visited this location on a whim one afternoon when I was shopping in the area. I was drawn inside when I saw the Monday special was 99 cent beef patties. I was sold. I ordered two mild patties. After biting into the first one I was surprised by the mushy inside. It literally looked like refried beans inside the pastry. I was not pleased and will not order them again. As a result I am not sure that I would come back to try any of the other dishes either. read more

Good lunch but breakfast is poor quality. Ackee has no blackpepper and very little saltfish. Does not have enough chairs to sit down. 3 tables for a restaurant??? read more

I'm going to say that Golden Krust is A-OK for me because I have only had the beef, spicy beef and curry chicken patties. The patties are only $1 on Mondays and to my luck, I've been to Golden Krust twice- both times on a Monday! I love patties of any kind, in particular my native Colombian beef empanadas. The Golden Krust patties are quite large in size compared to your typical Colombian empanada. For instance, two Golden Krust patties are enough to fill me up, whereas 14 Colombian empanadas might do the trick for me. At Golden Krust, I feel like the patty pastry itself is a bit dry but adding hot sauce gives it some moisture. The spicy beef has just the right amount of kick to where adding hot sauce isn't overbearing. The curry chicken patty was interesting. Not overbearingly curried but definitely detectable. Last time I went, there were lots of Caribbean people coming in for patties on the go. They were having conversations with the friendly staff ladies and let me just say that their accents were lovely. :-) NOTE: They do not accept credit cards for orders less than $5. How to get around it? Order enough patties to equal $5 and you're set! read more

Trash place and trash service I paid for a dinner and was charged full price and they didn't even have any sides. When I pointed it it the lady just said it doesn't mater. Then I ordered the patty combo which comes with coco bread and a soda paid full price and they only had tonic water and the lady just shrugs The rice didn't even have peas and the patty was cold and Burnt read more
