I have been a loyal customer of this establishment for approximately 15 years, and until recently, my experiences have consistently been positive. Staff members--both past and present--such as Julia, Sherika, Camille, Danni, Stephanie, and Shane have always been welcoming, professional, and a pleasure to interact with. However, on Thursday, April 9, 2026, around 2:30 PM, I had an experience that completely changed my perception of your business, largely due to your daughter's inadequate handling of a serious situation. Unfortunately, it will be my last visit. I ordered ochre and saltfish with dumplings and green bananas and chose to dine in. While eating, I bit into a twisted piece of silver metal embedded in the food. This was extremely alarming and posed a significant risk of injury, including potential damage to my teeth, gums, or the possibility of swallowing a hazardous object. In an effort to remain discreet and avoid causing a scene, I approached the counter and asked your daughter to speak with me privately. I showed her the metal object. Her response was simply, "Thanks," after which she took a photo and stated she would send it to her father. There was no apology, no concern expressed, and no immediate corrective action taken. I returned to my table feeling uneasy and continued eating cautiously. I later approached her again to point out that she had not apologized for what was clearly a serious health and safety issue. Only then did she offer an apology. To be clear, a customer should never have to request basic acknowledgment or an apology in a situation involving foreign objects in food. Standard customer service--and basic accountability--would require an immediate and sincere apology, along with proactive steps such as offering a refund, replacing the meal, or clearly addressing how the situation would be resolved. Additional concerns from this interaction were equally troubling: I was told that I did not ask for a refund, which was used to justify not offering one. When I inquired about a response from you, I was told you were "busy." When I observed the same dish still being served behind the counter, I was told it would be "wasteful" to discard it--despite obvious contamination concerns. Most concerning, your daughter stated that they have "been having issues like this lately," suggesting this may not be an isolated incident. The final resolution offered was a 25% discount given by you (her Father)--completely inadequate given the seriousness of the situation. This incident could have resulted in significant harm and potential legal consequences. The lack of urgency, accountability, and professionalism displayed was deeply disappointing. As the face of your establishment, your daughter's handling of this situation reflects directly on your business. Proper training in customer service--especially in handling health and safety incidents--is essential. This experience has left a lasting negative impression and is the reason I will not be returning after many years of loyalty. The presence of foreign metal in food is not a minor issue--it is a serious failure in food safety standards and customer care, and it carries potential health and legal implications. After 15 years of loyalty, this experience was beyond disturbing. I strongly encourage you to take this matter seriously and implement improved quality control and customer service standards moving forward. read more

I've been going here for years. My last visit was 2/27/26, I ordered a large oxtails. I know oxtails are pricey but I paid $32 plus tipped $5. In all my years of ordering Jamaican food, I've never seen a restaurant weigh the oxtails. They weighed the oxtails. I got home and counted just to see, there were 8 very small oxtails. This is my last time visiting here!!!! read more

The first time I went I got curry goat and the food was absolutely amazing and the lady serving was pleasant and courteous I then called him to place an order to pick up and someone picked up the phone and carried on a whole conversation without saying hello or even saying please hold for a moment they just held a phone while they continued their conversation. So I hung up and did not go back. I think people forget that customers keep your business afloat, and if you're not nice to them they're going to take their money elsewhere. I'll give this place another year maybe if they continue with customer service as it is right now. It's a shame because I wanted to try something different there because the curry goat was so good, but based on the other reviews and my own personal experience... I don't know read more

The attitude from the employees are unprofessional and unacceptable. Today I ordered curry goat and the female that fixed my plate acted like I was bothering her. She even said to her coworker I hate working this shift. My plate had mostly bones. Management needs to hire professional individuals that want to be at work. read more

Staff is nice and always busy. Good sign of quality. Always having customers is a great sign. read more

The customer service at this restaurant is horrible. I was kept waiting and people who came in and ordered after me was served first. Then it was prepared incorrectly and they looked at me like deal with it. This establishment does not care how you are treated and will only take your money. Lastly the air conditioner drips water on you while you wait in line. read more

Really good Caribbean spot. I enjoyed it very much. I was picking up an order at Joann and had always wanted to try this spot. Apparently it is a chain with a lot of locations but I was unfamiliar with them. I was expecting some kind of fried chicken with a name like Golden Krust, but no fried chicken here. I think the Golden Krust refers to the crust in their Jamaican patties. The server was super helpful and explained the menu for me. They have chicken, goat, and shrimp in curry, jerk, and brown stew. Also a variety of patties. They have several vegetarian options that also looked good. I went with the chicken in brown stew and got a small for about $10. Glad I got the small because it was a very generous portion size served with rice and beans, vegetables, cabbage, and a really nice stew like gravy. I believe this is one of their milder choices and it was still plenty spicy and flavorful. Nothing fancy here, just good home cooking from the islands. There are a couple small tables but I gather most orders are to go. When you walk in if you go to the right of the ordering stand you can see the food if you want to look at it before you order. I recommend it and look forward to visiting again read more

So I've had the golden Krust Jamaican beef patties that they sell in the store. When you get them here for about double the price ($2 vs the $1), you can taste the golden flakiness of the outside with a little bit of extra crunch! My friend ordered the oxtail here with rice and peas, plantain and cabbage for me to try. The oxtail was great! Tender, fell off the bone rather easily. The rice and peas were flavorful. I'm not a big fan of cabbage but it wasn't terrible. The real letdown of this dish was the plantains. Very chewy and lacked flavor. The staff were really attentive asking if we had already ordered since a bunch of us were just sitting down and waiting for others to grab food. I'd come back to get the food again! read more

Had one of their mild ground beef patties. Surprising that the first time I've had Golden Krust is in Georgia given they're headquartered in New York. read more

Great tasting food, good customer service. All the staff is always pleasant . The best fried chicken make you want to slap yo mama! read more

A truck drivers favorite place to go in Atlanta . Overall A++ , friendly , quality food and great prices

Customer service here is lacking. Order the jerk chicken meal and they didn't have rice and peas. Didn't have cabbage also. So they said they would give me extra plantains and it looks like the normal amount any restaurant would give. read more

Golden Krust - Jerk chicken - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I ordered cocktail patties via EZ Cater. My husband drove all the way from Roswell (an hour round trip) to pick them up for our daughter's first birthday party. He picked up the order and it was completely wrong. We ordered 3 orders of beef patties and one of veggie patties. AFTER he got home we called, and We got 1 order of beef, 2 chicken and 2 veggie. The website does not say how many come in an order. We didn't know we received more veggie patties than we ordered. We did not order chicken patties at all. Instead of APOLOGIZING and trying to make it right the lady on the phone implied that I should be happy because I got more food than I ordered. Which is silly because even if you have double something you didn't want IT ISN'T what we wanted. They wanted us to bring ALL the extra patties back (who knows what they were going to do with them), so my husband drove another HOUR round trip to pick up the beef patties. He had to pay for their mistake in time AND they made him pay for the beef patties we originally ordered bc we received extra veggie patties due to THEIR error. The lady on the phone was RUDE and did not care at all that their lack of attention took TWO HOURS of my husband's time when it should have been an easy pick-up. I will NEVER order from here again due to the lack of professionalism and overall care for the impact to the customer. read more

5 stars! Highly recommend. If you love Jamaican / Caribbean food, this place is a must! I haven't had anything from here that I did not like, but the meat patties are my favorite. They are great to grab for the road & easy to eat in the car. I used to order 2, but now I order 3 so I will have one to reheat for later, because they are just that good. read more

Great tasting authentic Jamaican food! Oxtails, Jerk Chicken and cabbage. Order ahead you won't be the only one looking for a good meal.

Today I payed $26 dollars for 1 large Jerk Pork Plate and a drink at their Kennesaw location..The Attitudes of the workers were bland at best..And I felt like I was being scammed as their options for their upfront gratuity came up on the touch screen at pay out.. My favorite Golden Krust or let's just say the location that I frequent more in Walmart Plaza in Marietta when I can. It seems cheaper and ALWAYS has more food options available(rice choices,fresher food,and,prices seem lower).. As far as the ambiance and employees "meh" attitude;I was literally worried about using my debit card there as I left this location..Food doesn't compare to the Marietta(Walmart plaza)location as well. read more

Thee food sell off! (My fiancée's voice!) Not just thee best JA food in Cobb... But maybe one of thee best in the A... Very flavorful & always consistent! read more

Golden Krust - Oxtail... Rice & Peas... Expensive... BUT... "WORTH IT!" - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

I am new to the area so I tried this restaurant for the first time last night. I had a combination dinner with curry chicken & curry goat. My dinner came with peas-n-rice, plantain and a cabbage salad. I also had a jerk chicken patty and bun/cheese. The staff was friendly and engaging. The food was well portioned, hot, fresh and TASTY ! I ate in and had planned to take some home. The food was so delicious that I ended up eating the whole thing ! I plan to go back (probably today) and would highly recommend this place. Parking is good. Seating is limited, open-style and not intimate; so not ideal for a first date or a large group. The food is awesome ! read more

Went there tonight and paid $14+ for this dried up piece of King Fish. When I questioned why it was small and looked so dry they offered to put gravy on it and give me some oxtails. They gave me a small portion of oxtail and thank goodness I had that because I would have starved for dinner. The fish was so dry and not digestible at all. When I walked out, I looked back and the two servers were pointing and talking about me. Never going back there again. read more

Friendly service, delicious authentic carribean food. I come here at least once a month for my cheat meal and it is so worth it. The restaurant it self is small, but the quality and quantity of food will make your palette and pockets hug you. Anytime I go I always end up with 2 orders bc my family is like get me this or that. You won't be disappointed . read more

I ordered jerk chicken & oxtail entrees both with rice & peas & cabbage. The whole tray is just rice with a side of oxtails & cabbage. Everything was dry & had no flavor whatsoever; I honestly thought I lost my sense of taste for a second. In addition, there was a stone in my rice . An actual stone. read more

Golden Krust - Stone in rice - Imported Food Near Me - Kennesaw, Georgia

Went to this place during their Jamaican National Patty Day. I purchased a drink and a patty for which I was charged full price. Their special of the day was 99¢ beef patties between 12 and noon, now I was there between these hours and questioned the cashier as to why I was charged full price, to which she responded that I purchased a chicken patty. I showed her my receipt and item was a beef patty. So she then changes her to statement to say it's 1st one at full price and 2nd for 99¢ and her co-worker confirms it. Now no such rule is stated at the in-store advertising nor at the b social media. Buyers beware as they will literally lie and cheat you. If this is how this business operates, I warn everyone to keep distance. read more

This is my favorite GK to go to. The food is always fresh and the establishment is ALWAYS clean. Drove from Dunwoody to Kennesaw for lunch- so you know it is worth it. Got a goat plate my favorite. My sister loves the oxtail. If you are seeking Caribbean comfort food this location is the best place to go. Always pick up some coco bread. Right next to a Caribbean store as well. read more

I've got to say that this is the best Golden Krust I have eaten from! I am a Jamaican that grew up in S Fla... so that says a lot! I had given up on finding good Jamaican food here until I moved to this area & found this gem! The staff is phenomenally kind & professional and the restaurant is guaranteed to be pristinely clean! Such a warm feeling of home! Thank you staff & Camille for taking such good care of us transplants!! You are appreciated! PS The curry goat is a must try! Michéle Elise read more

Overpaid under delivered. I paid $10 for a veggie plate WITH plantains because they were late in the day only gave me two pieces not the 3-4 that its supposed to come with. I asked the man and he said yea thats it. And if I wanted the correct amount i would have to pay the up charge. He never said anything when I ordered or offered the option of substituting it for something else. Never again. read more

We did a group order from here as a company, it was nearly a 400$ order and the tip was a generous 20%, once we had gotten the food and got back to the office, 2 people were missing food, there was no sauce included when we had asked for it, and the worst part is that when we called them to ask if they had made a mistake, they got defensive asking us ridiculous questions like did we eat the food on the way back, and didn't want to give us the food. It's unfortunate because the food is good but this has to be some of the WORST possible customer service I have EVER experienced. read more

A friend of mine, who is Jamaican introduced me to this place.. and I was not disappointed, I will def return when I'm craving a little flavor of the islands! I ordered a couple patties, both of mine were STUFFED full of goodies, and the crust was perfectly flaky and light, not sure what the reviewer below me had, musta been on an off day... Cause I thoroughly enjoyed mine! I also had the Curried Goat, very well seasoned, and just enough sauce to perfectly accommodate my rice. My plantains were nicely done as well, I was impressed for the price and will most certainly be returning when I am in this area again! I've paid MUCH higher prices for lower quality Caribbean food! The portions were also wonderful as well, enough for me and my boyfriend to both share, and he eats ALOT!! I always order the same thing when I return, I need to try some new things! LOL Mmmm yum in my tum, now Im raving some! read more

I looove Caribbean food!! Flying in from Phoenix last week to my beloved ATL and literally Yelping restaurants that have been built since my last visit, I heard sooo much about this spot and was invited here by a friend...and ate there four times in a week!!. The Jerk sauce is RICH..not just spicy (or stomach wrenching like some spots out there) but sweet and tangy..Plantains..mama mia...Cocoa bread..forget about it. The lunch specials are definitely worth it...its cozy, family oriented and authentic.. read more

Don't get the curry goat it has no flavor as a Jamaican you will 100% be disappointed the white rice was half hard half mushy so that was terrible as well! However, the Oxtail with rice and peas was delicious! So was the beef Pattie's which is expected but my 4 stars is for the Pattie's and the oxtails they were chefs kiss. I wasn't sure with it being a ATL location and I'm used to the one in the Bronx NY but this one was pretty good. read more

ordered the curry chicken dry the rice was mushy and the vegetables were tastelea and the coconut cake on bite in the trash wast off money

Yea mon!!!! I love this place. The food is always good. I had some oxtails so good I almost bit down and chipped my tooth on the bone lol.

OMGoodness, when I tell you that I enjoyed my meal from the 1st forkful until the very last, it would be an understatement!!! I have 2 GK in my immediate area and they DO NOT compare.. at all! I will only drive to Kennesaw to get my meals from Ms. Camille at this Golden Krust because it is always always fresh.. From the cabbage, rice & peas, to my stew chicken, just truly finger licking good!! Thank you to everyone in this establishment for always delivering the very best and never disappointing in service or product! Keep up the Great Work!!! Many blessings to you all :) read more

Good food, sizable portion as well, except for the fact that I spent $18+ for oxtail, only to find out when I returned home that I was given just two pieces of fried plantain, while my wife's order of curry goat also had two pieces of plantain. I was a little bit disappointed to be honest. However, the young man that served me at the counter made up for this; he was extremely polite. I have stopped by this place twice now and I intend on continuing to support this business, but I am hoping someone within the organization is taking time to read all these reviews and act accordingly. read more

Very disappointed in this place, I have been going this location for the past 4 years driving 40 mins and the prices have gone up but the quantity of the entrees have gone down, a lot of rice and a few pieces of meat plus they charge a fee for using a credit card. The service has always been great. Going to give them another chance but if this keeps up they will be losing a loyal customer read more
