I walked into Golden Krust with high hopes, expecting it to be the Chick‑fil‑A of chicken sandwiches. Unfortunately, it fell far short. 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. read more

I think the only time I've had Caribbean food before is on a cruise. I got my order delivered and had the Spicy Beef Patty and Chicken Patty. I thought both patties were crispy. The Spicy Beef had a good level of spice and I enjoyed the flavor of the Chicken Patty. read more

Golden Krust - Spicy Beef Patty and Curried Chicken Patty - Caribbean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is my second experience at this location. I have also been to the other location one time. I always get the same thing which is the red snapper I wish I could get it by itself without having any additional sides. The sides are not impressive. I would give the rice and peas a 5/10 and the cabbage 6/10. Also, this time the customer service was very much lacking and rude. The people behind the counter did not greet me or others when we came through the door and when you go to pay, they were very rude. I most likely will not be back. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to see a Golden Krust on this side of town since there aren't too many options for Jamaican food in this area. It's not a fancy place with several small tables & it's cafeteria style. The servers behind the counter were very efficient despite being pretty busy. Fair warning - the portions are HUGE! Everything we had was delicious. The curried goat and the oxtails were well stewed and tender. I opted for the callaloo and salt cod instead of the sautéed cabbage in my combo plate. It was pretty tasty although a bit on the salty side. We had enough leftovers for several meals! read more

Service was good! Food was good! Portion size gooooood! I'd go again. I had a large oxtail plate. It was well worth the price. *I had a curry chicken patty, but I didn't like it. The filling was thick and weird. I usually love patties but I did not like this one. Everything else was good though. read more

Golden Krust - Large oxtail. Rice and peas, cabbage. Can easily split with 2 people. Yum! - Caribbean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I will never return to this Golden Krust location in Brier Creek. It is the lowest version of Golden Krust I have ever seen from NY, NJ, MD, to NC. I been to a few across these states and have never seen them close early. I am sure I dodged a bullet from bad food. I only wanted coco bread, who closes early on a Friday? I pulled the door and realized it was locked. Even so, when I looked through the glass, a worker--a slim, slightly tall girl--put her hand across her neck and slid it. That gesture was highly inappropriate any way you look at it, and where I'm from, some might consider that a threat. Then a guy walked past my car and cut his eyes at me. They deserve a 0 with the caliber of workers they hired. I don't play about food, my time, or my treatment. read more

Oxtail was tender and delicious! Meat fell off the bone. Perfectly seasoned! Store was clean. Variety of meats to choose from. Staff is friendly and recommended other dishes to try on my next trip. Definitely will return! read more

Golden Krust - Braised oxtail, cabbage, plantain and rice/peas - Caribbean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

What can I say about Golden Crust? Located at the back of Brier Creek near the Taget you'll find a small Jamaican food jem. The staff is super friendly the food is plentiful, the portion are generous and the beef patties are on point. There is a small amount of seating in the lobby and it seemes to be more of a place you would take out than dine in. However I am happy to take all of their food home anytime. Get yourself some curry chicken and a beef patty then wash it down with a nice jinger beer. read more

I love Caribbean food, and cook a bit myself. If you are unfamiliar with Caribbean food, I believe this might be a good introduction. The service staff was polite and informative. On a particularly inhospitable weather date, the line for food was long and most appeared to be satisfied. If, however, you are familiar with traditional Caribbean flavors you might be disappointed. Food: 3 Staff: 4.1 Location: 5 Overall rating ppl: 4 read more

Thank you for opening at Brier Creek. The location is essentially similar to the Plantation Point location but there's a little more seating here. The curry goat and chicken are excellent and the goat is not bony at all. The fish escovitch, roti, goat's head soup, and red pea soup are all worth ordering. Perhaps order the roti and escovitch ahead of time as they are made to order and can take some time. And the patties. Make sure to get a few of those, too. The staff is polite and welcoming and there's plenty of parking. read more

Me and my cousin ate there 4/27/26 and ordered oxtails yellow rice and cabbage and got really sick that we use the bathroom for 24 hours will never go again read more

Rating based on: consistency, cleanliness, quality, taste, and presentation $5-20 for a decent meal LISTEN UP GANG! Let me put y'all onto Golden Krust in Brier Creek - and this ain't just any review, this is coming from someone who used to have this spot on SPEED DIAL in NYC! Let's talk about them beef patties that got me in my feelings! The pastry dough? FLAKIER THAN YOUR EX'S PROMISES! We're talking about a luscious, impeccable hand-held piece of heaven stuffed with perfectly seasoned ground beef that's giving main DUNE character energy! The spice blend? BUSSIN' FR FR! Back in NY, ya boy used to demolish 3-4 of these bad boys with that ginger and pineapple juice combo that hits harder than your morning Colombian, coffee! NO CAP! Now peep the jerk chicken patty - this right here? This the one that got me writing poetry! It's more fire than my mixtape (respectfully)! The spice level is giving "just right" energy - not trying to kill you but enough to let you know it means business! This joint is so scrumptious, it's got me speaking in tongues! And don't sleep on that raisin pound cake! SHEEEESH! More moist than your skincare routine and paired with cheese? It's a combo nobody asked for but everybody needs! The Brier Creek location is staying true to the NY roots - clean enough to eat off the floor (but don't do that), and the ambience is fresher than your new haircut! I'm literally getting hungry writing this review - that's how serious this is! This spot is more consistent than your gym schedule in January! Five stars, and that's on PERIOD! If you know, you know, and if you don't know, now you know! Golden Krust got me out here acting up, and I ain't even sorry about it! Real talk - this spot is serving straight HEAT! Pull up and thank me later! Your taste buds will be doing the electric slide! P.S. - If you ain't tried the beef patty and ginger beer combo, what are you even doing with your life? read more

Golden Krust - Yum! - Caribbean Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Golden Krust is a pretty solid place for Jamaican food. I've been a few times and the food is consistent and plentiful. I've had the beef patties, which are always nice and hot, curried chicken, brown stew chicken, jerk wings and a taste of the curried goat and oxtails. All were good and flavorful. The portion sizes are enough for 2 meals. All dishes come with your choice of rice and cabbage and plantains. Again - flavorful and filling. Service is friendly and accommodating. It's a small place but you can eat in if you wish, but most take out. I will continue to patronize this establishment. read more

I always eat at a Golden Krust when visiting family in New York and was happy to see one opening locally. I've gotten takeout twice now and I'm a bit addicted to the oxtails and the curry chicken. Even a small meal leaves plenty of leftovers. I also always order a couple of beef patties for the next couple of days. Delicious and wrapped well to make sure nothing spills. read more

Listen I'm from New York,Nassau County,Queens,Brooklyn. There are dozens of Golden Crusts everywhere. My community is predominantly non American, Carribean,African,Central and SouthAmerican. Brier Creek is not and that's why the food is HORRIFIC!!! NEVER AGAIN!! Meats overcooked. Sauces unpalatable. I generally eat at least 3 times at a spot before commenting on the food. I did that and OMG!!! This was not is not good,quality Carribean food. This restaurant is a TRAVESTY. read more

This place doesn't beat other local spots like "Where's the Jerk" but it was significantly faster. Other similar spots around here take around 1.5 to 2 hours to get your food and this spot took about 10 minutes, so I consider this a major win! We got some beef patties, a chicken patty, the fruit punch and a small braised oxtail platter. While I've seen other reviews say that the oxtail is a bit expensive, I personally felt that they gave a lot (even in the small portion) and the oxtail was perfectly cooked. The seating is limited but the takeout portions are the same as the dine-in portions so it's the perfect place to get takeout from. The punch is a must try; I drank it all in less than a minute. The beef patty was great and we both liked it more than the chicken one. Overall, love this addition to the Brier Creek area and can't wait to go back and try their jerk chicken! read more

I had no idea Golden Krust had actual restaurant locations -- I was excited to check it out! I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, along with a spicy beef patty. The chicken was a bit on the dry side, but it was seasoned really well -- I'd give it a solid 7/10. The spicy beef patty was the standout 8/10: tender, flavorful, and wrapped in a nicely crisp, flaky crust. Overall, a satisfying meal! read more

Well I just wasted $25! Here's the run down - Service was great. Person who fixed my food was very polite and hospitable. Place is clean and bright. No complaints there. I ordered the brown stew chicken, spinach rice, plantains, cabbage, sorrell drink and a carrot cake. All was a waste! The chicken was not flavorful AT ALL! Didn't even taste like brown stew chicken. Tasted more like a cheap watered down barbecue sauce. The 3 plantains were dry. The cabbage was not flavored and the rice also had no flavor. It was like I was eating but had no taste buds. The sorrell drink was undrinkable! Way too much ginger! The carrot cake was also not good. Tasted more like a store-bought cake, which it probably was. I was very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Went here on a Sunday afternoon to check out the new location. We went right at opening and it filled up pretty quickly. There's little inside seating and the restaurant is smaller, but the food packs a punch. We got the jerk wings with rice, plantain, cabbage and mac and cheese. The jerk wings were delicious but incredibly spicy, I could barely handle it but I'm not a huge spice person. We only got one single plantain lol and the cabbage was okay and could have used more seasoning and flavor. The oxtail gravy was delicious over the fluffy rice and the beef patty was delicious as well. The mac and cheese was only being served from the back for some reason which I found odd that it wasn't out with the rest of the food. The prices are decent unless you plan on getting the oxtail ($20+ is bonkers to me). Overall it's good food, decent service and okay prices. read more

$13 for a small which is rice and plantains, curry chicken with bones, cabbage. Food quality is not great. There is a counter you can sit at and three tables. Everything is packaged to go. I can see it's busy but I won't be back. read more
