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.

Delicious Curried goat, rice & peas/ cabbage & plantains.

Very tasty and nice staff. I had the curried goat. Had a few surprise pieces of bone, but that's the joy of goat ;) On the "side orders" menu, I saw plantains were listed. Can't resist those, so I ordered them with the meal. I was only given a SINGLE piece of plantain. Most places will usually give you at least three. Meh. Small portion of plantains aside, though, the meal was tasty and I'd go again. The decent portion of meat and the large amount of rice filled me up pretty quickly. It's too bad I don't live closer to this location or I'd probably try it out for breakfast sometime. read more

I've been raving about this little "jem" since I had lunch here a few months back. I was extremely surprise by the flavors and couldn't wait to try again. Well... on my second visit, while waiting to order, a gentleman came out from the kitchen. He was standing with the kitchen door propped open with his body. After I saw what the kitchen looked like, I left. Sprinted out of there! Good gawwddd!!! Gag! The floor was covered in what looked like wet garbage. Actually, it looked like a dumpster exploded in their kitchen. WTH??!! Never again. read more

Not the friendliest staff. Poor greeting when entered restaurant. I ordered side of plantains and she only gave me 1 . The stewed chicken was tasty and so was the rice and peas . I've been to a different Golden Krust location and they seem to never have macaroni and cheese in stock even though it's on the menu. I would probably eat here again and hope for better costumer service & food inventory next time. read more

I've been here a few times but have experienced some diminishing returns. The beef patty normal, tastes like the ones you pick up in Sam's club and their cafeteria style food looks to either have been sitting on the steamers all day or poured directly from a can. Jamaican patties taste the same almost everywhere and here they aren't bad, but i wouldn't risk trying another shrimp patty, the texture was odd and smelled very uh interesting. Their hot sauce is melt your tongue spicy and sweet at the same time, very good to mask the bland taste of the patties. read more

I just visited this place today for the first & last time ever. The young lady that waited on me was friendly & helpful with answering my questions, I did appreciate her patience with me since this was my first visit. I decided to order the goat curry with rice for lunch to go. I also brought a jerk chicken patty. Yes, nice side portion & the price was bad for lunch. When I home I ate the jerk chicken patty first which was really good, but when I started my main course which was the goat curry there was a PIECE OF HAIR in my food!!!! Yes, I had eaten some of the food before finding the hair. I was so GROSSED out when I discovered the long hair string on a piece of the goat meat & no it was not my hair. :( :-( :-( Couldn't get the rest of it in the garbage quick enough. My first & last experience with this place. It's a shame because the food was tasting good until the HAIR appeared. So, my suggestion would be if you do visit this place for any type of cooked food done by them BEWARE OF THE HAIR!!! Yak!! :( read more

I hate I don't have better things to say about this spot that we were really excited to try. I will…read moresay that upon arrival, everything seemed to be going fine. The owner greeted us at the door, it was fairly empty so there was no wait and we were seated right away. The ambiance is nice. It does look like you've stepped into the VIP area of a restaurant, so it was cute -- not fancy, but cute. The owner then told us about the restaurant being inspired by his mother, they've been around for 10 years, explained the menu etc., it was nice. He also told us that he hadn't been to Jamaica since a kid and that raised an eyebrow -- but we let it go because he wasn't the cook. MIND YOU, I brought my cousin here (who is Jamaican) after seeing decent reviews about it. He brought over our first round of drinks and they were really good. We really enjoyed them. They weren't strong at all, tasted like juice. So I would recommend just getting juice instead of the +$5 to add rum. As we began to order and look at the menu, the prices were really HIGH, but I guess he was going for upscale cuisine -- so we said OK, let's see what this entails. We all ordered the Taste of the Island plater that gave an oxtail, curry goat and jerk chicken, rice and peas, plaintains and a tiny side salad. I wasn't mad at the portions given, but the flavor didn't hit the mark at all. NOW LETS GET INTO THE FOOD The Jerk Chicken was OVERLY spicy; we couldn't even enjoy the flavor. The oxtails were fatty, sweet and BLACK. Not enjoyable at all. The goat was OK, but not very flavorful in my opinion. The beef patties were good, but probably out of a box. The Roti was good and the oxtail dipping sauce was good. The Honey BBQ Wings were pretty good and cooked well. The Mac'n'Cheese -- DO NOT GET THIS. It literally has NO taste and reminded me of the cup mac'n'cheese that you put the powder cheese in. It took so long to bring it out, I guess he kept forgetting about it (they said everything is made to order) -- which, IDK how you make mac'n'cheese to order. Real cooks know, Mac n cheese is NOT a 5-minute made to order meal. He also didn't ask how we enjoyed the meal -- which I felt like he knew what we knew when he saw that not only did the other table leave a plate full of food (the meats) but our plates resembled the same -- he still collected his coin. There is a 20% gratuity that is added on at the end that is ridiculous considering the prices are already so expensive -- MIND YOU, it is not "Elevate Cuisine", its basic Jamaican dishes on Ikea plates. No special plating, no unique sauces or display, no chef's plating or anything. Just a plate of food. Everyone's bill came in over $100. The table nearby us order the same thing and inquired whether or not we liked our food, but we'd just gotten our food and hadn't tried it yet -- we did warn them about the chicken being spicy, but not everything else. They came after us and left before us and left everything on the plate except the rice and peas. I love black owned businesses and I wish this much more success, but I would NOT recommend it to anyone that is looking for authentic Jamaican food.

Plenty of parking along the roadways, and in the nearby parking lots for the neighboring Water Works (city park) and Armature Works (food hall and social venue). They had valet for years but I'm not sure they still offer the service. The venue is huge... large red, brick building with outdoor sitting and a bar but they also have outdoor art to be impressed, a pond with fish for kids to admire, overlooking the Hillsborough River and lovely gardens (and all of it is maintained impeccable). The interior is industrial and a bit masculine but the views outside and more exhibits of art balance the atmosphere. Love the exposed kitchen and the glass wine enclosure under the stairs. The menu, as it was explained to me, was inspired by the indians that inhabited this area originally. I've been here numerous times but even with this latest visit, all my visits have been limited to lunch. Some of the dishes I have truly enjoyed: NATIVE CHILI: Not the typical ingredients but excellent nonetheless... rather than just beef and bean (as I am used to normally), this chili had alligator, boar, venison, duck, ground chuck and cranberry beans. CLASSIC BURGER: Ulele offers so many delicious dishes but sometimes a simple player is the way to go and the burger here does not disappoint... great balance of meat to cheddar cheese and those pickles are on-point. WATER WORKS MEATLOAF: I grew up loving meatloaf even though no one in my family made a good one (always ordered in restaurants); trying this one sets the bar to a new level... I'd enjoy that cabernet garlic demi-glaze all day everyday. PULCO CARPACCIO: Thin slices of octopus with a sauce that is rememberable (except for the name). Not sure if on the menu or if it was a special. As a fair warning, it does come off a bit touristy but the food is along with the atmosphere/decor is excellent...

I had made reservations, so we were sat exactly at our time. I highly recommend making reservations because this place filled up quickly and stayed busy the entire time we were there. Our very friendly and knowledgeable server let us order off of the happy hour menu, so my friends and I split a variety of items. First - bread with the 3 dips - you absolutely must get this. Second - fried zucchini balls. While I did like them, I wish they were smaller so the inside was a little more cooked. Third - Creamy Tomato Vodka Pasta - yummy with a bit of kick! This was my favorite food item. Fourth - Queen Stella Margherita pizza. Surprisingly, this was my least favorite item. We got it thin-crust, and while it looked good, it was served completely cold, and the flavor can only be described as cardboard-like. I would definitely try another pizza here, but not this one. My friends also split an order of meatballs, which they loved. While they had wine for dessert, I had a piece of limoncello cake for dessert. It was fantastically lemony and moist, which I loved. Their parking lot is valet only, but fortunately you only have to pay the $6 fee Fri-Sun, so we just had to tip the very friendly valet.

I was treated badly by some light skinned cashier yesterday 6/2/16. When I walked in I was not greeted or even looked at. I walked around to where the food was and I asked her if I could order. She pointed to the counter and told me I needed to come to her. I ordered beans and rice and curry chicken. I did not want the vegetables but want plantains instead. She gave me three. I asked if I could buy a side of plantains she told me no. I asked "so as a paying customer I can't buy a side of plantains?" She said no that she had only prepared enough for the day and needed to leave some for other customers. This is the absolute worst customer service I've ever received and I will never patronize this restaurant or franchise!!!! Yuck! I'm disgusted!!! read more

Golden Krust is a Jamaican owned company that has over 100 independently owned stores. Each Store offers its own unique brand of cultural experience but all are true to the authenticity of the Jamaican flavor it provides. This restaurant is priced very reasonably and you get a lot of food for your money. The food id delicious, I had my favourite **oxtails**. I visit this store very often to get my lunch and other essentials on the weekend, like my hard dough bread and bun and cheese. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for real a Jamaican experience in a nice clean safe environment that is also centrally located with ample parking. read more

Golden Krust serves delicious oxtails, jerk chicken and Jamaican Beef Patties. The price is very reasonable and a single portion is large enough for 2 people if you are not a big eater. They have a wide assortment of beef patties and pastries "mostly things you might not have heard of unless you've been to one of the islands at some point in your life. The place is very clean, staff is very friendly and the area is very safe. I would recommend this place if you are in the mod for authentic Caribbean or just looking for something new. read more
