This place truly annoys me. What island person really enjoys eating here? It's like the McDonalds/Taco bell of Caribbean food!!! Just a healthy type of cuisine. How do you find a way to water it down?!?! I'm sure If you grew up in the mainland you'd enjoy this place. Or if you never had authentic Caribbean food Just blah read more

10/10 recommend!!! Oxtails went x games mode, curry goat was chefs kiss. Thank you Golden Krust

I have had a taste of Jamaican food lately and I heard of this spot so I had to check it out. I know that it's a chain, but wanted to see what they offered! They have a pretty expansive menu, which includes oxtails, curry chicken, and jerk chicken. I elected to get the small plate of the Jerk Chicken. The plate also comes with rice/peas, cabbage, and plantains. I also added a spicy beef patty and a piece of the festival (bread). I was very happy with my food! It tasted pretty good to me! The chicken was cooked perfectly and had the right amount of spice! The rice/peas were good. The plantains were GREAT - just the right amount of sweetness. Now the festival was a bit dry, but this can be explained by it sitting out for so long I'm sure. I'm willing to try it again...earlier in the day. The patty was AH-MAZING! Omg. So much flavor and it is actually spicy! Soo good! I will definitely be returning and will sample something else. Highly recommend! read more

Food looked like it has been sitting all day. Couldn't tell what meat it was because gravy was so black. Patties were ok.

$20 for a large jerkchicken plate that was definitely 2 days old. Just say it's bad and offer something else. Skin was burnt crunchy and my guess is they didn't think a review was coming. I'm young so I guess they thought I would take a different approach. Highly recommend not going if this is the product given. read more

I didn't eat in the physical restaurant, but I tried their food at the food truck festival and that veggie patty was BOMB. I'm not sure which veggies were in it, but if I wasn't so full already I could have eaten like 10 of those things! read more

Get the curry chicken with the dirty rice and the best plantains. The tropical drinks are super yummy.

The best oxtails in HTX hands down. All the vegetables were fresh and the rice was delicious. & now off to the gym after eating the whole plate in one sitting read more

Golden Krust - Best oxtails in HTX hands down. Or at least neck in neck with Regae Hut. - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Riding through Westheimer heading to .. Well let's start the review. On my way back, I noticed Golden Krust. Having been to Ny, Golden Krust is well known among the Jamaican/ Africa community. However upon arriving at this location I was the only customer which should have been a red flag but decided maybe it was a slow afternoon. I decide to get the chicken and beef patties which I would not recommend. The flavor was blend, the beef didn't even taste like beef it had a weird flavor . Floor : clean Food: Hmm - okay Employees: Nice, answered my questions. read more

This was my first and last time ordering from Golden Krust. I ordered several cheeze beef patties, jerk chicken wings and a jerk chicken combo plate. I could not identify the ingredients inside of the patty. I called the store and she told me that they come in fully cooked and frozen, the are heated up and served. She believed that it was meat or meat and cheese only but could not confirm. The chicken wings and chicken combo was dry. I really wanted to try this place and like it! Take a close look at that picture, does that look like ground beef and cheese? read more

Super unprofessional... this is the 2nd time I've tried ordering and they cancelled my order for no reason. Twice in a row. When you want to eat something and they cancel your order for no reason that BS read more

Great Caribbean food and even better service. I always get the oxtails and get the gravy on my Mac and Cheese and rice. The curry chicken is good also. I would recommend you wash it down with the Pineapple-ginger beverage. read more

Pro: I love this place. The food is good, I actually prefer it over most Jamaican restaurants. The price is very affordable and the manager is awesome. Con: the rice portion is very small. They give you about two small scoops of rice so I typically get dumplings on the side to fill me up. read more

I tried this place for a second time. My first time I was not able to enjoy the meal. TOO SPICY!!!. It was the curried chicken. So I decided to try something different , Brown chicken. Although not spicy I just didn't like the flavor. Also the chicken and shrimp patties are mostly filled with a "paste"; not much chicken, not much shrimp either. ILL STICK TO COOL RUNNINGS RESTAURANT INSTEAD!!!!! ThEIR FOOD TASTES MUCH BETTER read more

I ordered the large oxtail plate. The large section was full of rice and peas, one shall section was half full of the cabbage and the other small section had about 5 tiny oxtails and bones. To little food (oxtails) for the price. I will not be ordering from here again.. even though the food was tasty. Do better please.. give people the money's worth!!! read more

I waited until my second visit to write a review... Ordered the lg oxtails w/rice & peas, plantains, cabbage, and a spicy beef patty. The oxtails were perfectly tender, with a "can't put my finger on it" slight sweetness, peeking from behind all that great seasoning, lol. The rice & peas were delicious as well, not too dry, and not overly moist. The place is pretty small though, so I would recommend taking your order to go. The owner was really nice, and so were the employees. I will be returning later today for the Escovitched fish...I've already claimed my order with the owner! LOL read more

I heard about this franchise upon hearing of the founder's passing. I saw online there was vegetarian options available so I stopped by. I was prepared a vegetarian plate and a vegetable patty. I must say the rice, plantains, vegetables and the veg patty is excellent. All very fresh. The owner of the franchise was very kind and knowledgeable regarding the product and gave me some literature about the founder. I came to support black business and I will continue my patronage the business. read more

This place is brand spanking new and extremely close to my complex so I'll probably be back. Golden Krust is a national chain based out of NY known for their beef patties and the CEO actually went on Undercover Boss. Needless to say, this chain like all other chains are solid just not the best you're going to have. As someone who's thoroughly addicted to Jamaican food I thought I'd try this place out, and it's ok, just not going to blow you away. The portion size is decent and the pricing is decent as well. But if you're looking for the full Jamaican food experience I'd suggest you look through my reviews and check out someone of the restaurant style places. For a chain, again, it's solid. read more

I was a bit skeptical of Golden Krust since it's a chain, but this food was pretty solid. It's a cafeteria style set-up with your traditional Jamaican fixings: stew chicken, oxtails, jerk chicken, curry chicken, rice and peas, plantains, etc. My jerk chicken was pretty flavorful, and the generous portion of rice and peas made me happy. I was a bit disappointed by the beef patty, not very flaky and a bit skimp on the actual filling. The restaurant itself is small, with just a few hightop tables for dine-in. I'd order to go. read more

The customer service is superb. They ran out of beef patties the first day I came in and I decided to give them another shot. I came back the next day and they had a lot of beef patties to be devour. They even had so much that they gave me a free one, talk about rewards service. They serve other Jamaican dishes without the wait which is also a plus. read more

I can't really give this place any stars because I didn't taste the food but I will say they have a variety of patties: beef (spicy, mild, regular), jerk etc. I went w/ a friend who wanted to try it out. She was not pleased at all with her meal. She didn't even finish it. She's Jamaican so I definitely trust her judgement. My son had the Jamaican rainbow cake? We all know how kids are about sweets and desserts...he took 1 bite and threw it away ‍ this restaurant is based out of New York so I'm sure the authentic one is good but I'll just stick to cool runnings. That place reminds me of a good home cooked meal Ps. I just read today that the founder passed away not sure how much longer this place will be open after reading about him. read more

The food is overpriced, they have terrible customer service I called to see why my order was canceled twice in a row and the employee actually argued with me for almost 5 minutes.. today after six months I tried to order again my order was canceled imagine when you want to eat some thing and you're waiting for it and then you just get a notification saying your order is canceled but it's not the first time is the third time! I will not order from here again there's so many other places you can get Jamaican food from. Their business won't be around for much longer... I'll give it two years read more

Veryyyyyy welll on customer service. GOOD FOOOD, awesome people,funny workers ,clean place , very well clean environment, no mess I could go all dayyyy read more

This was the worst food I EVER had. This was a door dash order. 1st of all it took forever to get here, so I am starving (i will blame door dash for that). I knew right away that I wasn't going to like it. It had a funny smell from jump. The coco bread tasted like it had been sitting there a day or 2. The beef patties were DEFINITELY old. I could not even bite into it, like it was hard hard. And the vegetables were not packed properly and the juice was all over the bottom of the bag and that was where the funny smell was coming from. The vegetables were gray.. I wasn't touching that. The wasted juice did not even soften up the beef paty. I just threw it all away. And this is what i get for not coming to yelp 1st to read the reviews. I really try not leave bad reviews but the food was not edible at all.I am starving and these poor people at my job have to deal with a HANGRY person. read more

Just delicious Jamaican foods. This is the latest Jamaican Restaurant, and a well know chain from the east. Love their Beef patties and curried goat. Worth trying to make a call on your own, but I am sure you will love this joint. read more

Absolutely love this place, and they are veghead friendly! Literally I love them so much that I had them cater the food for my baby shower!

Food is always cooked to perfection but could be kept a little warmer. Jerk & curry chicken are great. read more

Whoever cooked the food tonight did great with the oxtails and cabbage. I've had this place before and the flavor was good but the oxtails were tough. Today, very tender. It would be nice if they had drinks other than water they were not overloaded with white sugar. I only eat oxtails once or twice a year so I'll consider coming back if I don't completely cut out meat forever. read more

I always buy my food here and it's great ( oxtail or curry goat ) WHEN GOING HERE I ALWAYS SPENDS OVER 30 - 40 bucks thats how much i like JAMAICANA food . on February 7 , 2020 at 6:15 pm i purchase a fish dinner that cost 20 bucks after traveling 1 hour and 30 minutes to get this food i was so very displeased and when i told the cashier which is the supervisor she didn't even say SORRY !! So there was a lousy service after all my effort getting off work and traveling so far just to please my taste buds I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE FOOD HERE . Don't matter how often a customer visit your store or u are familiar with the person the service should not change THE DAMN UGLY GYAL NOT EVEN GI MI RECEIPT read more

Used to come here everyweek. The size was larger and now it's 2x smaller and I still got charged the same ($13.99). Golden Krust, you have just lost a customer! read more

Golden Krust - Curry Shrimp - Caribbean Near Me - Houston, Texas

Tried the meat patties, overall they all were pretty good the best to me was the spicy beef. They came hot and the first was kinda flaky. Not the best ever but if you want meat pies they can satisfy your craving. The seasoning was pretty good on all of them. Yes I ordered all of them and #SampleLifed all of them. Well except the spicy beef that one was really good. Shrimp was my least favorite. read more

Just finished lunch at this location. Great experience and food! Luckily, I came before the lunch time rush, so I didn't have to wait in line. Had the fried chicken, which was seasoned VERY WELL, with rice and peas, both topped with oxtail gravy. (FYI, oxtail gravy on top of anything tastes AMAZING!) I also had a side of the traditional veg mix, which had lots of bell peppers, and gave the cabbage a very good taste. The rice and peas were moist, unlike quite a few places in Houston. (As much as I like Island Sizzler, I have never had moist rice and peas there; I usually have to mix it with gravy to wet it up.) They had some ackee left over from breakfast, so I got some of that too! All in all, it was a good experience,and I plan to return. TIP: Ask for a sample! Although I knew what I wanted, I saw a couple of folks come in and get samples to help them decide what they wanted to order. I love places that give samples. Nothing like ordering something and being disappointed. read more

I normally don't leaves reviews because everyone has an off day. But that chicken was the worst chicken I've ever tasted in my entire life. I ate some white peoples chicken for an event one day and they even beat out the chicken here at this place. Y'all need to do something for real this a backstep for the community. Real talk read more

Great service and some of the friendliest people. Really enjoyed their service and food highly tasty. Recommend the oxtails.. Will defined be back. read more

THANK YOU. So glad this opened in Houston! Food is on point. Today was my first time at this location and from my experience the service from the ladies was good. The location is clean. Provides good Caribbean music while you dine in! I had the oxtails, rice and peas. Comes with the typical sweet plantains and cabbage! read more

I love this spot! Any time I leave town I have to grab some before I go and when I get back it's the first stop I make. The workers are friendly and the food is great ! read more

Service always friendly and the food is always tasty. The oxtails are delish, curry goat is so yummy and the veggies are great.

I'm so glad they've opened in Houston. I've been eating their frozen meat & veggie patties for several years. Now, I can consume much wider variety of their fare. The brown stews. Homemade juice drinks. Curried shrimp. Pastries. Curry shrimp patties, too. Curried goat. Too much deliciousness. read more

If you're looking for authentic Caribbean food, Golden Krust is where you want to go. Had the red snapper it was delicious! Be careful of the fish bones and you'll have to call ahead to see if they still have some in stock for the day (limited daily quantity). read more
