    Came here for lunch with a work proximity associate. The location is huge for what it is. It's casual slow food fast. I got the goat curry with rice and peas. It came with cabbage and a couple of plaintains. We also shared a couple of patties. The curry probably needed a couple hours of stewing. The flavors was just okay. I'd probably come back if I'm in the mood for Jamaican

    This was a good idea for the location/ Rt 22 Union area. No other Caribbean spots in the area. This spot is Jamaican as per the cashier. This place just opened up within the last several weeks. Today was the 1st time I came to check it out. Parking lot is small especially when half the spaces are designated for the other store next door. There was a line to order which I figured. Handicap friendly with a ramp , two bathrooms inside and a dining area to eat after you order on line/pay. Inside is yellow and bright which gives a nice energy. Also clean but it's still new - hopefully patrons won't ruin that Menu is over the cashier desk . Hard to read. Menu says small or large sizes but I over heard someone order a "mini" which would be a good size for m me but I didn't see that option on the menu . There was a good selection of entrees .... I ordered a "small" ox tail - but it's a HUGE portion. Comes with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. It's HUGE. Oxtail and peas and rice was pretty good. The cabbage is more of a colder raw cabbage versus the more warm cooked cabbage I've seen in other Jamaican restaurants ( see my pix) . Plaintains are bland/ok. The small came out to $13-14 bucks . Although a lot but would rather have the choice to get something smaller and cheaper than $10- so next time I will ask about the "mini" They also have desserts, juices/tropical juices to order as well as different selections of Jamaican patties. I would come back to try the jerk chicken and the beef patties so right now I will give 4 stars They have some things they should work on to make the visit better.: 1. Have another menu at the start of the line so that people on line can figure out better what they want once it's their turn to give the server your order. 2. Also they should have the names of posted with what is shown ( for people who may not be experienced with Jamaican food) . 3. Hours of operation need to be posted 4. Menu needs to be more clear of what comes with the entree for example ....rice and 2 sides? What are the sides? Etc . I kinda went along with the server and from my experience of Jamaican food in the past. But I think it would be more helpful.

    A new food choice just added to the Union, NJ Route 22 area. Jamaican patties! Yes, now I don't have to stop at Newark for some Golden Krust patties. I tried the Mild Beef and it was a good snack.

    Kept eye-ing this place to see when it would open. Finally saw the now open sign today. Yay! Nice and clean inside and very friendly staff. Got the oxtails/rice and beans/plantain togo and woooww huge portions. Definitely could share the large with someone. Food is delicious! Rice and beans to die for. Oxtails were tender. Plantains eh I like my latin maduros better. Now lets talk about the patties! O.m.gee perfecto! I was bold enough to try a shrimp patty and it did not disappoint. Great filling to bread ratio. The "krust" was so good and golden lmao. How can I describe it? Not too hard not to soft. Nice and flaky. Buttery?! I dont know just try it you will love it.

    Small, brown stew chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, and plantain

    Honestly, of all the Golden Krusts I've been to, this is HANDS DOWN, The BEST one. The food is always delicious and portion size is unbeatable. I'm so glad they decided to open this restaurant in Union because there's barely and Jamaican/Caribbean places in this area. If you love Jamaican food or never had it, I promise you won't be disappointed. My go to is either the small oxtail meal or the jerk shrimp. Ugh I could literally eat both of them on rotation every day. The oxtail fall off the bone and the shrimp are perfectly juicy. I also am big on food being too salty and that has never been an issue here!!! Love, love this place!

    I kept it simple with the spicy beef patty and coco bread. And it was everything I expected, anticipated and have no complaints. They had other food that looked interesting and potentially good but I ONLY come to golden crust for the pattys. However I was slightly intrigued and may possibly try something else on another visit. I will say I like how clean the establish was and how the service was professional and prompt. So no complaints and would recommend this spot to others.

    See all

    The food is not bad. The staff is a bit deceptive. Always check your receipt as they tend to pad your bill.

    The cashier/service is bottom shelf, but the food is a step above most of Union. The oxtail has some type of powdered sauce but works.

    WIll you begin offering the Soya Patty anytime soon? All the other locations except yours seem to have it on the menu.

    Soy Patty is already an offering but these usually get sold out very fast. Call (908) 557-5644 to confirm availability.
