I was in the mood for oxtails on a week night after the snow in Raleigh. Placed that were open late…read moreand considering the weather were far and few between but Hady's was open. We made the trek from the north side of town over and it was worth it. The place is immaculately clean and the menu is an extensive list of cuisine from all over the world. From Jamaica to Ghana and place in between. I know this could be a difficult balance to strike, but it was done well. I ordered the oxtails with rice and peace and plantains. The order was a nice size but I do feel the oxtails portion could have been bigger. Lots of sauce but not a lot of meat. The seasoning on it was very well done. Spicy but not too spicy. Well balanced. I enjoyed it along with my well portioned sides. The person with me got jollof rice and chicken. They said the rice was good and the grilled onion on top of the chicken was perfect. The chicken wasn't to their personal taste but looked well portioned and prepared. They also had a variety of bottled drinks to choose from like mango and hibiscus drinks. I would go back.

Golden Krust is a solid choice if you are looking for oxtails in the city. Granted it's a chain,…read morethey employed people from Jamaica to try and keep the food authentic. The portions are large and they have a variety of plate sizes to choose from to fit your budget and needs. I always get the same thing - oxtails, rice and peas, plantains and a meat pie. It's not the most authentic in the city as it is a chain, but it's always a solid choice I have been to in more than one city. The service is like any fast food restaurant. You order at the counter and your food is packaged to go. The restaurant looks like a fast food place inside as well. Nothing fancy but usually clean.

I've had several things from here and they rarely disappoint. The jerk chicken is flavorful and seasoned well, the chicken wings are really good, and I absolutely love their coco bread--especially with one of their beef patties. They also have curry chicken, which is another solid option if jerk isn't what you're in the mood for. My only complaint is the wait. Depending on when you go, you may be standing there a little longer than expected, so I wouldn't necessarily come if I was in a serious rush. But once you get your food? Worth it. The portions are good, the flavors are there, and it has that authentic Caribbean comfort-food feel. I've been more than once and will definitely continue going back. Just give yourself a little extra time!

I selected my two side choices, which were mac and cheese and collard greens. Despite the price that was listed on the overhead menu for the snack selection, which included two sides, I was told I had to pay an upcharge of $3.00 for the mac and cheese. I did not want to argue about something that I felt was unfair and inappropriate. What made the situation really disturbing was that the overcharged mac and cheese was ruined because it was placed and mixed with the oxtail meat and oxtail juices. This situation led to a decline in the food's quality, which did not meet my expectations. The presentation of the small snack container was very unappealing because the three food choices were squished together in a tiny container. My total charge for the small, tight, thin oxtails and two sides snack was not at all worth the $20.00 I was charged. The quality of the oxtails was a real disappointment that needs major improvement. I was expecting much better quality, and I would not recommend this food location based on my recent visit.

One-word answers, constant attitude, and she treated a child like he was inconveniencing her. If you dislike dealing with customers that much, you belong in the back of the house, not representing the restaurant at the front counter. She should be ashamed of herself. An absolutely terrible first impression of this establishment. Thankfully, another gentleman stepped in, was gracious and professional, made the patties fresh, and salvaged my son's experience. He loved his patty. The food was good. Her attitude was disgusting. Golden Krust can do much better than having someone like that be the face customers encounter when they walk through the door.

However, lately it seems like something has changed--maybe a different chef? The oxtails now taste like they're cooked with way too much sugar. The rice and peas also taste overly sweet, almost like pure sugar. The red peas soup has been very disappointing, and the cabbage is always overcooked and mushy. I'm not sure what's changed, but I really hope you can go back to the quality and flavors you had when you first opened. Please consider cutting back on the sugar and bringing back the authentic taste that made me want to keep coming back.

On a Thursday around 5pm, the sides had already hardened into solid blocks--nowhere near the freshness I was looking for. I was charged extra for the mac and cheese, which turned out to be a stiff chunk of cheese over baked noodles. The plantains were the hardest I've ever had. The bright spot: the cabbage was seasoned well, and the chicken with jerk sauce was genuinely enjoyable. The jerk sauce had a nice hint of BBQ flavor that worked well. But for two plates, two drinks, and a spinach patty totaling $50, I expected much better. I won't be returning.
