Best customer service. She gave us a little sample too and we ended up spending even more. Drove 40 minutes and will do it again. read more

Golden Krust - Food - Caribbean Near Me - Amityville, New York

I did not love this order at all chicken was old & camouflage with BBQ sauce & the soup had several pieces of hair in it! Yukkkkk....Eat at your own Risk!!! read more

Absolutely extremely disrespectful service by Tony. I will make sure no one ever comes here again. The food is decent, but just based off his horrible customer service I will make sure no one I know ever visits this place. Absolutely disgraceful for a business to be run with someone like that taking orders. Very confrontational. I'd love to add more but since Yelp is a safe space, I do hope they realize that this person alone will absolutely tear this place down. Check the reviews for yourself. read more

I had the brown stew chicken. it was just ok. parking is available. I came for breakfast but they only have breakfast on certain days .

The food was not good this this customer service horrible and they are charging extra fees so you got to pay attention to your receipt and when you bring the issue up to them they act as if they don't understand read more

Golden Krust - Copy of receipt look at the extra fee that they charge - Caribbean Near Me - Amityville, New York

The lady serving is extremely rude and nasty. This was not my first time receiving rude service from her but it will be the last. The only reason why I went back was that Jamaica Grand, which is close to The Golden Crust, was closed for Easter. She loaded the plate with rice and very little meat. She held my plate in the air and rolled her eyes when I asked for more meat. Horrible Horrible service. Jamaica Grand is a block away with much better food and much better service. read more

Probably the worst Jamaican food I've ever had from a golden crust. My jerk chicken patty had a beige color (never seen that before) & my peas and rice and stew chicken tasted so unflavored. Everything's so bland. I just cut into a piece of stew chicken and it smells. Probably isn't even cooked freshly. Dumping the entire thing. $20 down the drain. Might as well shut down this location. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Golden Krust - Caribbean Near Me - Amityville, New York

I have no idea how this place is even still in business. As soon as you walk in you see about 6 flies buzz past your face, the store is filthy, and not a single greeting from any of the workers they actually look upset that a customer came in. Waited about 5 mins for the guy behind the counter to finish the conversation he was having on his airpods before he even acknowledged me. Ordered 2 beef patties guy got angry when I asked if they have beef and cheese, another lady came out the back and looked at me like i was inconveniencing them by being there. Payed for the patties and left and proceeded to eat the 2 worst beef patties i ever had in my life. Not only is the service absolutely horrible, but the food is very bad as well. This place either needs new owners or just should not be open at all. Terrible experience! read more

As time.goes by my appreciation of Golden Krust goes way up. I've had the most delicious Jamaican food in places. But this place is more essential and basic in their authentic jerk chicken, on rail and rice and peas. I find myself cracking this spicy food with a bit of an extra kick to it. I feel like Camille is my friend when I see her and she always remembers me. She's quick to hand me a a small while I wait. The real spirit of Jamaican hospitality. Forget all those places with tons of extras. When here I really just want their authentic main dishes. And a few ginger beers. Love this place. read more

Sometimes you go there and they are not the most pleasant. Like you are bothering them placing your order. And has anyone asked for a receipt lately, they are charging 18% tax on their food. It's has been going on well over a year now. It use to be separated into 2 charges, 10% service charge and the regular 8.625 tax. I guess too many people asked what is a 10% service tax, now it is simply listed as total taxes. But do the math it's 18% taxes. read more

They make up the prices as they go along. Has happened more than once. Food is not always fresh. Tastes like it's from the day before. I won't be going back. Oh, and also, I was clearly standing there first. Waiting.... When the server finished what she was doing and finally decided to acknowledge me, she served the other person first. Perhaps it's because I'm not Jamaican...?? read more

I live a few blocks away and have tried several times to order from here and have also walked in for pick up. Every single time... I have never seen workers move so slow. I get charged different prices. Sometimes the ox tail is great and sometimes it's horrible cold and you can tell has been sitting all day. Half the time they forget veggies. Sometimes you get mostly bones. Portions are always different. I can't deal with this place anymore and it's a shame because it's so close it would be super convenient. read more

I don't know what kind of fish they gave me, but it certainly was not red snapper, and it certainly was not whole. Shame on me for not checking my order before I left. Also, whatever it was tasted terrible. Tastes like three day old fish from this,place, don't even bother. The service is utterly indifferent. It made me feel like they were doing me a favor by letting me walk in there.... DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

So I went to place an order with this restaurant on Grubhub, they processed my $55 order, took my money then cancelled the order stating the "restaurant is too busy" Then I get a message saying I'll get my refund in 3-5 business days...yeah...no way. What a joke.... read more

We ordered one dozen patties for an office party one day in advance. The order was placed with Camille, who was accommodating and friendly. As promised, our order was ready and waiting at the 11:30 am pickup time. The patties were hot and tasty. This was an easy process and pleasant experience. The office social committee was pleased and has decided to utilize the catering services of Golden Krust of Amityville again in the future. read more

Disgusting! Pure slop! Gravy all over the place. Asked for a small and was given a large and over charged. Will not return. Dog food. read more

Golden Krust - Curried Goat, Rice and Peas, Cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Amityville, New York

This is the Jamaican spot across street from Little Jamaica. It's the opposite, the service, parking, eating space w tv (environment) is good but the food isn't all that. I'm not a fan of chain restaurants when it come to Jamaican I like the little authentic spots that are family owned. When I've had golden krust in the past it was pretty much frozen food reheated w their generic recipes. Now with this spot it's hit or miss with how they season the meat or the cabbage. The ox tails don't have a gravy it's a juice so there isn't anything to put on the rice or cabbage. And ox tails aren't good without gravy. I came for lunch one time and the cabbage was so good, fresh, well seasoned and had mix veggies in it, today it was firm like it needed to be cooked more and had large chunks that could've been cut more. The jerk chicken is inconsistent as well. One time I ordered "jerk chicken" and they just added spicy bbq sauce on it and called that jerk. It's ok for bbq chicken but not jerk. Today the wings were dry and dark colored, possibly over cooked or sat out too long (chicken jerky) I'd recommend coming here in morning. They have porridge for breakfast which was sweet and creamy. Also the lunch is more fresh quality food read more

Terrible experience! We ordered empanadas via Uber eats and went to pick it up. Ladies at the counter were extremely condescending and rude. We kept waiting in line while they chatted with the some people standing ahead. Then they said to me what do you want in a rude way and laughed when I said pick up " Oh of course" they said, laughing. Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. Never again! PLZ DONOT EVER GO TO THIS PLACE read more

This was my 2nd time ordering food from here. The first time I had was supposedly the whole red snapper. My husband picked up the order so I didn't see it before he got it. It looked old and shriveled. Could not eat it but i vowed Not to order that again. thinking that the fact that it was later in the day. They have given me something that was cooked much earlier. Months later we tried it again. This time he picked up Stewed chicken for me. I couldn't believe what they sold him. Cold chicken that tasted old and dry(even with the sauce) The plantains were cold and uneatable. I am so disappointed I just threw the food away read more

Grew up with a Golden Krust near me in Brooklyn so it feels weird reviewing it--it's like reviewing your mom's methods of raising you-which is 5-stars since I came out well. But back to Golden Krust-I eat here strictly for the beef and many other patties. This is what they're known for and this is what they excel in. Groupon gave me the opportunity to actually try their meals..$12 for two reggaefest combos. And I ordered the jerk chicken--naturally since that's what Jamaicans are known for--and stew chicken. Portions really generous, my straight-faced monotone Jamaican lady behind the counter packed on a lot of rice and meat for me. Also the group on redeeming on the phone was seamless and quick. Jerk chicken was..just ok, saved by the jerk sauce that it was drowning in, the jerk chicken fell short from the true authentic jerks I've had in the past in Brooklyn. Stew Chicken was..actually surprisingly really good, very flavorful, borderline too salty, but the meat was tender. If this would be your 1st jerk chicken experience I would recommend it, if not def try the stew chicken, I'm sure it's not a popular choice but I tell you it's good. Groupon was beyond worth it, and everyone should at least try their variety patties at least once--they always Jamaican me crazy! read more

Nice crusty beef patties and some good selection of Jamaican sodas. Great place for a quick bite, everyone in there is pretty helpful

It's Monday. I'm hungry. What's for lunch? I think I'll use that Groupon for Golden Krust. Picture it. I'm on route 110 coming from Farmingdale. I pass a run-down motel that probably rents rooms by the hour. "Sayonara Motel" it says on the sign outside. Up ahead in the near-distance I recall is where that trailer park is located. Oh, wait... there it is! Right before the trailers on the left.... Golden Krust!! I "bust a U-ie", get a peek at the trailers real quick and then make a right into the Golden Krust parking lot. So, the restaurant is located in a seedy (and I'm being nice) area with stragglers walking around mid-day just a stone's throw from the trailer park. Actually, I could have driven right into the trailer park directly from the parking lot, I think. Yes, random people just wandering aimlessly around in the middle of the day. I wouldn't come here at night. Nor would I eat at the establishment. This place is a dive. Take-out was okay for me. I had a Groupon for $12, which got me 2 small reggaefest chicken meals. The portions were quite large. I could have chosen either the jerk chicken or the curried chicken. I opted for the jerk chicken. The meal consisted of chicken, rice, a few friend plantains and some cabbage. The food was good. Portions were big. I'd come here with a Groupon again. Without a Groupon, I wouldn't bother. And maybe I'd bring someone with me next time. Single woman and all. You get it. read more

Golden Krust usually have very delicious foods, but this golden Krust on Amityville have really poor quality food. Golden Krust is MY usual spot for beef patties and oxtail but when I went there for oxtail, and patty that changed. Food was disgusting .. never again. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Hey Mon! You wanna taste of the Caribbean? You gotta taste this Golden Krust! Ha! Ok, yes it's a chain but that's not such a bad thing. This place is a good spot for novices to sample typical Caribbean foods such as beef patties, jerked or stewed chicken & oxtails. Be sure you get a ginger beer to complete your experience. The decor is pretty plain and its primarily a to-go spot. So if your an adventureous eater give it a try for lunch. read more

For a franchise Jamaican restaurant the food is pretty good here. Nothing more than your typical sit down fast food joint (no pun intended) Eats: - Jerk Chicken definitely didn't have its "jerk" which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for something really spicy. - Stew chick was really good and moist - Sides were rice, plantain and cabbage all was really good. I can actually just come here for all these three and leave really happy Likes: - Portion side is definitely big for the price you pay - Good selection of Caribbean drinks - Parking located in the back read more

I went for lunch at my coworker's recommendation. Ha! Bad customer service and food quality. When I entered, 1 lady was behind the counter. She was focused on her task and did not acknowledge right away. Basically stood around waiting to be served. The rice was OLD--peas all dried out. Sign said fried honey bbq chicken, I ordered a small meal with curry chicken patty and champagne kola. $18! Chicken ended up being dry as hell and was sweet & sour flavored. Patty was basic. Dont waste your time nor money! read more

Didn't get the food i ordered. The menu online was not available at the store. Service was not friendly. Ended up going to Jamaican Paradise Restaurant in Copague , where the food was better and the service was really friendly read more

Went here last week, food was awesome with the exception of my beef patty. It was a bit dry but a slice of cheese at home brought it back to life Lol. I used to live in the area and I have been here several times. Food is always good. read more

I came here for the sole purpose of getting some beef patties. At $2.40 each it was only okay. The staff was nice, place clean and they had $5 lunch specials too - I may come back to try this instead next time. read more

Came here one time when I was in Amityville...just got a beef patty and coco bread it was good...

I have been coming to this Golden Krust for many years and I have yet to be disappointed. This past Saturday I stopped by with my family to grab a quick bite. For a franchise resteraunt, there's only so much you can get as far as decor or ambiance but one thing that sets this Golden Krust apart from others is the cleanliness. This resteraunt is in tip top shape everything is well put together and very clean. The service was pretty great. When I went in there was a line but it moved along quickly. They had three servers and a cashier. The servers were polite and helpful. I'm a picky eater and kept changing what I wanted or how I wanted. They didn't even raise an eyebrow at me they just gave me exactly what I wanted. The pricing is pretty typical, I ordered the curry goat with white rice and I believe it was around $7 or $8. For the price, you get a large portion and a choice of two sides. My cousin got the oxtail and she was raving about it my grandmother had the chicken soup and said it was delicious & my aunt had the fish and said she never tasted a stew that was so delicious! We all enjoyed our meals. As far as drinks, they had soadas, water and Caribbean juices in the fridge. There was tea, coffee and even ovaltine! I was happy to see that they sold ovaltine because I love it and can only make it at home. They had a large selection of patties, I usually get spicy beef with cocoa bread; you just can't go wrong with that order it's ALWAYS great. For those of you who ejooy rum cake they sell it by the slice and even the whole cake which would make a great gift when visiting people's homes during the holidays (I Definitely plan on ordering a cake) they also have a HUGE parking lot with lots of parking. If you park in the lot you can go in to the resteraunt through the side entrance & if you're just going inside to pick something up you can go through the front entrance. I recommend this GK and I will definitely continue to visit! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Although the portions are large the food is always cold and the chicken is always dry. Definitely go down the block to little Jamaica instead. read more

While the Oxtail had me coming back the 2nd day the Customer Service leaves much to be desired. POOR POOR POOR. As the line grew, the one person (very unprofessionally dressed) did not see it fit to call for help and neither did the person called who looked out to see the line growing bother to be proactive to help until he was beckoned. And yes that one person I did see as the other reviewer did, totally engulfed in her phone and while assisting almost made you feel as if you were bothering her and if her life is hard because you're there to spend money. I went back a 3rd day hoping she maybe just had a bad day as we all but only to have a repeat of day 2 and spending twice as long waiting. If they Address their customer service quality maybe they can be as good as Little Jamaica down the road (banging food and happy people). I hope you see this Golden Krust management....fix it! read more

I would've given this restaurant at least 4 stars because my kids loved their patties and coco bread and their goat stew is tasty. But I think the goat stew is overpriced considering the small portion of the meat, there are more rice and veggies than the stew itself. They should've called it "rice combo with goat stew on the side". And the reason why I'm rating this place with 1 star because I got a call from my bank, in the fraud department, that someone from this establishment tried to use my credit card for a different transaction. Thank god my bank caught this right away. BEWARE: DO NOT USE YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD AT THIS PLACE. read more

I love me some Caribbean food. I was craving some red pea soup and I decided to make the trek. I park in the parking lot and I look up the opposite end of the parking lot where there are apts when I see a man pointing a gun at me, from an apt adjacent to the parking lot. I was so scared and will never go there again. read more

Came here with a groupon for 2 small reggaefest dishes. Let me tell you, it may be a "small" but it is enough food to last you your entire sitting and if your like me it gave me leftovers! very tasty im trinidadian but i like the jamaican style food as well. small place but traditional food i recommend this place id def come again! read more

I was happy to receive such large portions for the value. I probably would have given this place three stars, but she forgot the plantains. I come in scared, but can you blame me? This place is in a very seedy section of town. To tell you the truth, I would be coming in more often with groupons if I wasn't afraid of some of the mean people who surround the area. I am a fan of authentic soda this place has. I'm a bit scared that this place may need to be cleaned up and scrubbed down. read more

I had a really bad experience at this restaurant and fyi the Dollar Tree sells their Jamaican patties (literally sells the "Golden Crust" brand patties), yet they charge almost $3 for one deflated vegetable patty. I purchased 4 patties and they tried to only give me 1 hot sauce. When I asked for another, they told me that they only give out two per customer, so I felt extremely uncomfortable asking for a second one which she should have given to me without having to ask for it. The lady made me feel like I was doing something wrong by asking for another hot sauce, why did I even have to ask for the second one, I purchased FOUR patties!!??? And their policy made no sense because if I made 4 separate transactions, would I have gotten 4, or even 8??? How about giving out one per patty! However, she ended up charging me for the additional tiny container of their supposedly signature hot sauce (was not impressed whatsoever) which I had to scramble to find a $1 bill to pay for it (after purchasing almost $20 worth of food). AND THEN when I left the store, something in my mind told me to check the bag and they only gave me half of my order!!!I had to go back in and convince the lady (who had to confirm with the other lady at the register as if I was secretly planning to rip them off and actually lie to get two free patties)! I felt so unbelievably uncomfortable!!! I am not one to go out of my way to set up an account on yelp just to rate one single business (2 weeks later no less and I'm still angry!!)---! I have never felt like I was being taken advantage of at a food establishment in all my life! I absolutely do not recommend this restaurant to anyone!! Also the location and parking situation was inconvenient. You will have to do a 3 point turn to get out of the parking lot and watch your mirrors because it is quite easy to back into the actual building. Getting out of the parking lot was the frosting on the cake for me! Dealing with this whole RIDICULOUS situation(s) after working an 8 hour shift was the last thing I wanted to deal with. All I wanted was some vegetable patties and rice for my boyfriend and I, but the process turned into a circus. Not only was the experience terrible, but the actual food turned out to be disappointing as well. read more
