Nothing wrong with the food, But the customer service could be a lot better. I placed an order through DoorDash, called the store to make a change only to find out that two items on the order or no longer available. Was told that I need to cancel it on my end. Couldn't do that, so I called DoorDash to resolve the issue they said they will have to call the store to confirm the items are not available so I can get my refund, so I waited on hold only for them to call me back saying they couldn't reach the store, meaning I can't get a refund. I called the store multiple times (couldn't get them the first couple times). After the 4th-5th time somebody answered I told them the issue and what needs to be done only to be told that DoorDash customer service never called. Yea don't know what kinda scam is being run here but this is beyond me. Just be careful ordering online. read more

Oh my!! Been wanting patties for a while. I love patties and the fact that they usually have vegetarian options. Was driving out of the Family Pack and Ship just down the ways and bumped across Golden Krust. Just as quickly, pulled a maneuver into the parking lot and ran in to get me some! The service was slow... but that's kind of to be expected when there's just one person. When I asked if they had any patties left, first I was told no. But then I was told yes and the only options were the veggie ones. Spinach and Vegetable, the rest of the options were sold out. I was hoping to get some "plant based meat" patties which they offer on the menu but all good. Took 2 patties and a bun and cheese with me, yasss!! Glad to know they're close by too!! read more

I have lived in the Tampa Bay area for around 5 years and I've been looking for a good Jamaican restaurant, this is authentic and delicious Jamaican food and that's in my humble opinion as a born and grown Jamaican. The jerk chicken omg is amazing! Now as for the service, it's normal to go to good Jamaican restaurants and they have bad attitudes, but so far so good for me, I've been greeted and they've been nice to me, no complaints from me. read more

The ladies aren't pleasant! First visit delicious curry goat. Had them again my birthday July gave a large portion wasn't good at all I threw it away. I was so sick I went go into detail. Yesterday evening I got the Stewed Chicken with rice the ladies again not pleasant. I went home to eat the chicken seems to have sat there all day it was dry and OLD. They won't get my money every again. read more

OK so, their food is astonishingly good. I eat it when I'm sad, I eat it when I'm happy, I eat it when I'm bored with the food at home! They give you such large portions with the best quality food. They share flavors most people haven't gotten to enjoy in their life! If you are looking for something new and very delicious go to golden crust. Don't even get me started with the spicy beef patties read more

Some of the best food in Pinellas County! The Jerk chicken is absolutely amazing! Definitely a must if you are in the area! read more

Food have went down over time he past two years only good thing on the menu is the goat soup and while I ordered I get slick comments on the slick Side read more

I love ordering food here. The people here are nice and friendly. The patties are also good even though you can find them frozen at the Publix. I live within walking distance so my waist has grown since moving in this area. They also have bottled sodas/drinks from Jamaica and baked goods. Don't miss out this restaurant in the Pinellas Point neighborhood. read more

I hate to give this Black owned business a less than favorable rating. However, the woman working there usually has an attitude and she talks very fast. She needs to understand that not everyone understands Patwah. She shows frustration while interacting with customers while standing 15 feet way and the customers don't quite understand what she is saying. The food is great. I usually visit when I am in town but will find an alternative place for Caribbean food. I don't patronize businesses who treat customers as she does. Sometimes she is fines, other times she has an attitude. If you read this and go into her business, let her know that someone posted about her nonchalant attitude. Go next door to Asian restaurant and their attitudes are totally different...even though they don't like us and and we know they fake it because they see $$. Black owned business have not learn that yet!! Just smile and greet customers because you care!!! read more

Hate to even give 1 star - I was excited to try the patties- have had true authentic many times and this was not it. I ordered the spicy and mild beef patties. As soon as I took a bite - I was wondering where the meat or beef was - it was more of a black bean paste with just a little of beef mixed in. Tasted more like a bean patty than a beef patty - that's not I was expecting and definitely not try authentic. Plus the pastry shell was super dry and not fresh read more

racist place. mocking how i talk when giving me my food never again.

Don't shop here, poor service and bad quantities. 20$ extra for more oxtails, more than a dinner plate. What a joke

You could sneeze and miss this place in the plaza, so keep your eyes open because it's worth it. I stopped here for lunch during a training one day and had the curry goat lunch special. That comes with cabbage, rice and peas, and I added plantains to it. I tried to tell myself I would only eat half of it and save the rest for lunch the next day. However, I gobbled the whole dish up like the Cookie Monster and loved every second of it. (My iPhone autocorrected Cookie Monster and capitalized it... Weird.) The goat was tender and the sauce was perfect. Paired with the rice and/or cabbage, it was even better. Their plantains were perfectly soft and rash! I'm two for two this month with trying out curry goat at Jamaican restaurants, and I highly encourage you to bask in the tastiness! read more

OMG best oxtails on in Tampa. Hats off to the cook. Keep doing what you doing. The price is right for such a delightful meal. Staff is always friendly. read more

I have a serious question that I need to ask the Golden Krust restaurant before I drive all the way down there for an authentic Jamaican dinner- Do you serve white people? read more

I drive over the Sky View bridge to get a meal from here, that's how much I enjoy their food! I primarily get the fried chicken, which is always delicious! You can request gravy on your rice and peas (usually oxtail gravy for me.) The meal also comes with cabbage and two plantain. The cabbage sometimes is a hit and miss, but I still enjoy it. The bun and cheese and patties are good too, wish they had the patties available more frequently. I've had other meals from here and it has been good. No issues on my end, so I definitely recommend trying the food. Be careful when trying to find this place though. It's right by the BT&T bank (I think so), you'll miss it if not looking properly. read more

Golden Krust - Bakeries Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

The food is ok. The woman at the counter is very unfriendly. There is no menu so you have to ask what they have and she just turns around and relays what there is available while she does something else. She acts like I have no right to be there and my presence is an inconvenience. I've gone several times hoping to get someone else with no luck. Oh, and even though the place closes at 8pm, don't go in after 3pm expecting to purchase a meat patty. They're "out"! I wish some other Caribbean restaurants would open in south Saint Petersburg. Friendly ones for our community to enjoy. read more

Very nice staff. I love beef patties and wanted to try out this authentic Caribbean place out. I ordered 2 beef patties and small braised oxtail meal. To my dismay the patties looked like they have sat for longer than they should in the warmer. They were very dry and not flakey on the outside. The outer edges where the beef was squished out looked burnt. Hoped they would taste better than they looked since I was hungry... wishful thinking lol. The oxtail was flavorful but I didn't care for the cabbage, brown rice or plantains that came with the meal. Just wasn't my thing. read more

Having tried 3 other Island food places in St. Pete (? on Central Ave, Randy's on US19&13 AV N, ? on US19&22nd AV S), this is by far my favorite one. Surprisingly, this is a franchise. The original has a very inspiring background story; I learned about susu, ""using the Jamaican concept of susu, whereby everyone pitched in $100 a week to raise start-up money after banks refused them a loan." Dine-in? Maybe. There are a couple of tables & a few chairs. Food? Delicious. So very tender meats & and very flavorful spices. Ox tail, curry chicken, jerk chicken (too spicy for me), and many more. Each meal comes with a plateful of rice&beans (yum), sauteed cabbage (yum), and fried plaintains (yum!). You can ask for other veggies in place of rice&beans. Drinks? Ginger beer. carrot juice w/ ginger, soursop w/ ginger, other fruits w/ ginger...and your regular high frutose corn sugar stuff. Dessert? Carrot cake, chocolate cake, other cakes. Not much of a cake person so I haven't tried them yet. read more

Golden Krust - Curry goat. - Bakeries Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

This food is absolutely disgusting! They should not be allowed to sell this to the public. I couldn't even eat it. I had to throw it away. DO NOT eat here. I was excited to move here from DC and have a Caribbean restaurant down the street. But will never order here again. read more

The food is actually good, WHEN they have what you want. We called ahead to make sure they had goat curry, we were told yes, but when we arrived 10 minutes later they didn't have it. This was at 11:30-12:00 on a weekday, not later in the day. Other times they have been out of sides, but we were still charged full price. When we mentioned we had called, there was absolutely no response. The lady is very rude, looking away and just said no goat. She certainly doesn't know how to interact with customers. We left without ordering anything and will not return. read more

You know.. I wanted to give more stars. I've had a few meals here the oxtails, jerky chicken, meat pies, rock coconut cookies and it was pretty good. There was a nice man that normally worked the counter; however on my last visit they had a woman working the counter with a serious attitude. Her manner and eyes where like I had done something wrong. What was stranger was that she was all smiles and cheerful to the lady before me.. I really don't care how good the food is when it's served like that. Act like you want people's business, and that you're not doing them a favor. I won't go back again. read more

I ordered Ackee & salt fish, peas & rice, plantain, Jamaican johnny cake and sorrel and it was so delicious it was out of this world. My wife was very happy with her food. The staff is very friendly, our experience was great, we will definitely keep coming back! read more

Overall this was a disappointment. I didn't expect much but the service was strange, and the rice was so hard I couldn't even eat most of it. The jerk chicken and cabbage weren't bad but I've had better. read more

I could have written about any other place for my 500th review but I need to write about Golden Crust because I DIDN'T get the patty..I got the Curry Chicken dinner as well as the Jerk Chicken. The small plate could feed three. Jerk Chicken comes with what I call 'dirty rice and beans and plantains as does the Curry Chicken. Satisfying my desire to have something uniquely different. Monte, one of the owners, told me the place has existed for four years but I've only been here for over a year. Living in San Francisco one could completely ignore a place like this (yes, it tis in a strip mall but DO NOT IGNORE!!) Wonderful food and reasonable. The Reggae music here is worth just ordering tea and one of their pastries..I and I love to dance! read more

2 stars because of the attitude and availability I popped in here tonight because Publix was jammed (night before Thanksgiving) and I'm a big fan of curry or jerked chicken. Ok, I do admit that I checked the Yelp reviews just before I stepped in and after reading a few of the poor reviews, I entered with caution. A few patrons were sitting inside so that was good. As I approached the counter I couldn't find a menu. That was kind of weird but didn't matter. I asked if they were open since the lady washing dishes just sort of starred at me. She replied 'yes' and proceeded to tell me they only had curried chicken and curried goat. This was 7pm. They close at 8pm. Anyway, I said "perfect!" Since that's all I wanted anyway. She disappeared around the corner for 2 seconds and then shouted to me that they only had curried goat. Again, I replied "perfect" as I tried to be friendly as possible. A few minutes later she delivers a styrofoam box, puts it in a bag and I leave without looking at it. Now, the food: The curry goat was really tender and spicy. Bones, fat, spices, all mixed together. Very tasty. The rice was pretty tasty too. I saw that other reviewer's receiver plantains and cabbage. Mine didn't have either of those. So, in summary, I'd go back one more time to try the curry or jerked chicken. That will be the real test as I just got back from Jamaica in October and had a lot of authentic curried food and jerked chicken. 1 star for the service. 1 star for the unavailability. 4 stars for the curried goat Tip: Go super early to get what you want. Use some of the rice to soak up the curry read more

Golden Krust - 7pm - Bakeries Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

So, this is not a review of food taste, only of experience, attempted to try this restuarant tonight because I've been dying to find anyone to make me a good curry goat. I call the place at 7:10pm and ask what time do they close, they tell me 8pm, I say I'll be there in 20 minutes and the person who answered says "fine". I arrive at Golden Krust at 7:30pm on the dot only to be told they've thrown away all their food for the day, and my only option is oxtails with no sides for the same price as a full meal. thanks for having me drive 10 miles out of my way for a lie, I would've happily just gone here another day if the person had told me the truth, all she succeeded in doing was throwing a hefty unneeded wrench in my dinner plans for the night. TLDR: Lied about closing time, putting me through a decent amount of trouble for no reason. don't go to this place after 7pm, they might as well be closed. read more

Amazing place to get some Jerk Chicken. Happy that the meal came with plantain, cabbage, rice and beans. Also a plus for chopping up the chicken. Had a good variety of drinks in the fridge. Customer service was nice and friendly. Restaurant was also clean. Only con is that the credit card machine is very slow and it's so hot in the restaurant. read more

Had them bring in food for office lunch. Was a little hesitant given the ratings, but the Oxtail was AMAZING. Also enjoyed the jerk Chicken and the goat curry. Full of flavor! The bulla cakes are something I've never had before and now can never forget... I'm gonna crave those things! If you like gingerbread just get a pack... or 8! read more

Been eating here for several years and never fails. Make sure you have a mask to enter. No table service, just to go. Ordered curry goat and it was great. The small portion is huge. I can never finish it. The meat pies are less than $3 and are good as anyone's. My only wish is that they add jerk pork. Although jerk chicken is great. read more

If the place closes at 9:00 I expect to come in the shops if it's 8:26. Very irritating for someone who drove awhile to come to a closed place....... Update.... Just recently came with 2 of my friends to try the food finally and the lady at the front was rushing customers for no reason. Basically ignored me. And to top it off the bitch at the front basically had no type of interaction besides getting my food and taking my cash. If you want real Caribbean food go somewhere else not this dump read more

Honestly, I don't have much to say about this place other than it was really tasty. They have patties, roti, and more and the staff was pretty friendly. You can also sit inside the restaurant if you want. I may return when I'm back on that side of town because the food was definitely delicious. read more

As Snowbirds we have been regular customers over the years and have always been very pleased with the Jamaican meals and patties ...... But when we visited this time the quality has seriously deteriorated ..... Come on guys, get your act together or you are going to lose customers. read more

I feel like I was deliberately overcharged. The price on the menu said fried chicken meal and jerk chicken meals were each $10.65 (lg). I ordered three. When I went to pay 10 minutes later, my bill was over $42.00. Hmmm....something's not right. When I asked, lady became rude, rolled her eyes and said, "that's the old menu (even though it's hanging over their counter) and the prices have changed". I did the math, $11.37 (their "new" price) X 3 still didn't add up, even with 7% sales tax. Apparently, the tiny 8oz juice I took (no price tags to be seen) costs almost $7.00?!?!? I don't think so. Avoid if you don't want to feel like you've gotten screwed. Food was lukewarm and dry. NEVER AGAIN! read more

The chicken is awesome and I can't wait to go back and try some other things there! It is a true Caribbean meal that is hard to find in the area. read more

The service was not so good as I think the lady could have cared less if she had a customer or not. But the tasty little patties were pretty delicious. I had the veggie patty and dang, for a little over $1, it was pretty amazing! Cool place in a weird strip mall. Check it out for lunch or a snack. read more

The minute I arrived I was greeted by a very nice lady and knew I was in a good place. It was lunch time and I ordered the curried goat. Bang, wow, perfect!!! Instant love on my first visit. The "small" was a full meal and came with plantains, rice, and slaw with a huge helping of the curried goat. As someone who has eaten goat all over the country and in multiple countries, I can assure you this is good goat :-) Perfect spice and incredible flavor. I can't believe I waited so long to drop in for lunch and now I want to go back and try all the patties they offer as well as going through the whole menu. Perfect, and recommended. read more

I drive by this place twice a day, every day and decided to try them out finally! So glad I did! I got the curry goat meal and the jerk chicken meal for myself and my husband. PHENOMINAL. I am beyond happy with the huge portion and the delicious taste. Each meal was under ten dollars and I could barely eat half of mine. I'm full! We will be coming back for sure! read more

Had beef patty it was good got there to late 10 min before closing will come earlier next time
