Ox tail is my favorite from this place. It was perfectly cooked and sauce was amazing. Large is extremely big. Prices are a little bit expensive but worth it.

Love the chicken soup.
Good food
Ordered mixture of patties.
Ok
The soups are really good. The staff could be friendlier. They don't complement the food at all. Thank God the food is good!!
They need to hire more people. the two employees were doing the best they could, but two people are not enough to serve everyone who's waiting on a Saturday.
Food is ok small vegan/veggie choices, wide selection of patties.
I tried the fried chicken and jerk chicken lunch special. The fried chicken was okay. It wasn't fresh out of the grease like I saw on IG but it wasn't too old. The jerk chicken was okay as well. That oxtails gravy absolutely saved both meals because it was a spicy 🔥 delicious palate please .. Yummy 😋 and that pineapple ginger juice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥...

I was on my way to work i decided to stop in to eat one of my favorite meal.Curry goat. Its always hot freshly cooked and it was tasteful and delicious the place is small but clean and refreshing and the workers are frendly i did not rush i took my time and i told them have a blessed day and they did the same great place to dine or do take out
The food here is delicious. I ordered a small oxtail for $20.70 . I don’t Understand why this dish is so expensive. It was delicious and they give you enough food for one.. I will always get my oxtail from them. Also they make the best Jamaican beef Patties.

Need improvement
Caribbean fast food at a reasonable price
The massive training in customer service.
Yes I would share my good experience with others
It's on Church av in Brooklyn very busy area
Ok ...could be better
Food is satisfactory
The staff was not that friendly, and they did not have adequate ingredients in one of their soups. It stated chicken soup, but they said it had no chicken. I was not fond of that location.
Very bad service, the cashier was very rude, rushing me to pay when I was still ordering my food on the counter. I hope not to go back there.
A bit crowded.... and the servers could be a little more friendly.
I’ve had meal at this golden krust before, however, I felt obligated talk about this stew chicken. I don’t know who the cook was on that day but believe me when I tell you flavor. I could taste the hint of ginger in the rice and peas, just the way we did it back home. Couple that with the season chicken; my taste buds keep buzzing. They got three stars because of the ambiance. It’s poorly lit, the rainbow cake seem damp for pastry. The staff is efficient and you just can’t get beef patties wrong.

Just ordered the family fest. And what a rip off. They give you qtr chicken to be split with four people. This can barely feed two. And have the nerve to flip the machine to see if I want to tip. Cho...
Customer Service is the worse. The cashiers are unfriendly and can be hostile. I will not be spending my $$ there anymore after my experience today with the cashier. This is the store on Church Ave in Brooklyn. I will be writing a letter of complaint. I refuse to spend my hard earned $$ in an establishment where I am not respected. This store especially needs to train their staff on good customer service.
I typically get a beef patty and some rice and peas with curry goat gravy. It's delicious and filling and under $5. Place is usually relatively clean and it's on my way home from the subway. The staff are ok though pretty unenthusiastic. The last 3 times I've gone they haven't had rice and peas, not really sure what's up with that.

The staff was nice and the beef patties I had were ok but the dumpling is misleading it's really a round biscuit and the place seems dingy.
The food was good but Zoe the cashier was extremely rude!! She needs to go take a class on respectful customer service!! Will not be supporting them anymore. Also will be telling my friends, family and coworkers not to go there either!!

Horrible service at this location 1617 church Avenue, Brooklyn , New York As a first time customer I was appalled by the unprofessional staff at this location. I placed my order for stew chicken and the Caribbean lady at the register was rude immediately speaking to me as if she knew me or as if I was one of her friends waving her hands in air saying what else in a rude tone as if I was annoying her. I asked for rice and peas with cabbage. She started making my plate when I noticed a very small amount of stew chicken so I asked if that was my plate and if so can I see it. She gave me a nasty look and said she is still making it. I said okay and I patiently waited while she went and switched out the pa of stew chicken for a new one. She asked if I wanted gravy, I replied yes thank you. She proceeded back to the register where her coworker handed her another plate of food that belonged to the gentleman on the line behind me. As I’m waiting for her to continue serving me being that I was at the front of the line she decides to bag up and charge the man behind me for his food ignoring the fact that I was also still waiting for her to finish serving me. I was so disgusted with the way I was being treated that I left without the food. I have been in customer service for over 30 years. I am also a manager and would never allow my staff to treat any customer in that way. I was always taught treat people the way you want to be treated! After I left I called the restaurant to speak with management to make my complaint and was told by the same staff member that management was not there to call tomorrow. I knew it was the same person that was serving me so I asked for her name and she put the phone down took another customer then picked the phone back up and she said her name is June. I do not believe that is her name. My doctor’s office is located one block from this location that is what made me go to this specific golden krust in the first place. I hope management speak to that young girl because her attitude and professionalism is horrible. The light skinned young lady that was thete was very polite and professional to everyone I saw her help while I was there waiting in line. It was only the one dark skinned Jamaican girl at the register that was rude and unprofessional. I am in that area 3 times a week and I love golden krust food but never have I experienced such rudeness in any location this I have ever been in except for this location. HORRIBLE SERVICE. Update, thank you to the manager/owner who responded to my original complaint, because of your professionalism in handling the situation I went back to your store and the service and food was good. But during my visit I found out the young lady I made the compliment about was there and her name is Junie which means the other lady I made the complaint about lied to me when I asked for her name. I spoke to someone else there young short caribbean lady who was very polite and professional as well. The real name of the rude lady I made a complaint about is Shanovia. She knew I was going to make a complaint when I asked for management so she gave me someone else name which is incredibly wrong of her to do. I found out Junie is new to the restaurant so I apologize for giving the wrong name of the employee who was rude and unprofessional as I did not know I was given an incorrect name until I went back and was serviced by the correct Junie.
Slow service, lazy employees
Awful ,, just awful
I was trying to void the wait time by placing my order first and the lady was rude. Wrong place to order
I left my air pod there today. I used my find my device and it confirmed it was there. I was looking for it in the store for awhile but stuff never helped me. I checked find my device later and found out it moved that mean a stuff took it and went home. That’s not right
The lady working the front counter had a rude attitude and when she went to get my food. I caught her spitting on it. When I called her out on it she pretended she didn't. Never going there again. Dont go there, save your money!
Too expensive and very bad business and attitude unbelievable fly was on the Patty's and they actually didn't care too much attitude
Worst Golden Krust I’ve ever stepped in .....the cashier customer service sucks ! I walked out and left ! I shouldn’t have to show my ID for my DEBIT CARD for $3.50 food !
The employees have very bad attitudes and the line is always long. The workers move slow and most of the time there's only one cashier open!
2nd time ordering from this store on Uber eats and still got old stale food! First order the Tito was hard and dry like sand paper! My coco bread a had a section that completely dried out. I decided to try again and todays SAME THING coco bread was old as if it was left out. Beef patty was soft and flimsy! Horrible location out of all Brooklyn locations
I ordered a large oxtails plain just oxtails and instead of giving me that they gave me a meal that I ordered separate large containers of that I told him I did not want in the oxtails this guy Ryan to be-specific went on and charged me for it though and when I called to complain the manager hands the phone to the cashier with zero resolve and instead wanted to argue 20$ for 4 oxtails and mostly rice which is what I already ordered I’m reporting this place so hard they are going to hear about it
Spend 20 something dollars and the portion was not even worth it ….and look at the food presentation so poorly… won’t buy there again…

i entered the space and greet the staff: no answer. i say ‘hello’ again. still no answer from the lady and the man. i then asked if they had take away food, the man answered like i was upsetting him with my question and the lady kept ignoring me. rude is what they are. i left empty-handed. where is the Black solidarity?
I ordered their stew chicken today and it was awful, the taste was bad they need to dismiss whoever cooked this Monday…How could you mess up on stew chicken smh
Oxtail is pretty expensive for such a small portion. For 25$ you get 4 pieces of oxtail. To make things worst this location has very bad customer service. The woman wouldn't release the food to me because my name was not on the receipt. Seamless does not put the name on the receipt. She was incredibly rude about handing me the over priced food.
Can’t understand why every morning when people are coming in for breakfast they still don’t have all items ready. That is bad for business. I usually call in advance and things are still not ready. Poor work ethic by staff, management needs to provide better oversight. Front line staff can also be rude. If can’t be personable and inviting then you should not work in the food service industry if you have to interact with customers. You play gospel music but you are anything but nice.
The first time I visited I had a pleasant experience, but my second visit was anything but! Customer service was horrible and the patties I ordered were disgusting. I don't like going to a place where maybe that day the food will be good or the staff will be nice, these kind of things must be consistent.
I decided to write a review on the poor professionalism and customer service skills that a worker gave my husband. (An older lady). During this time of Covid-19 pandemic that we are facing, I think the least that we as people should be doing is communicating with each other in disrespect. Who ever is the manager/Owner of this location needs to speak to the front workers and servers about being rude towards their customers. This type of unprofessionalism puts a bad reputation on business. NO disrespect the food is good but this business customer service skills sucks.
The worst. Their food is never ready on time. Nothing is unlocked. You cant order anything until they unlock the manu and it takes forever. It's 11;30 now and still nothing is unlock for lunch.
If I could give them a zero, I would. I ordered food online. the MAIN portion of the food I ordered was not available however...they not only had it on the site but also it went thru in the order. I was never contacted about the food not being available. They were supposed to also refund the 3 portions that were unavailable...they only refunded 1. When I called, the woman who answered was rude and then hung up the phone on. She also then decided to not answer the line or continuously hang up every time I called. I will never solicit them again and I see why most of the people I know don't go there any longer either.
