Rooted in Jamaica. Built on resilience.

For more than 25 years, Jamaican farmers have been at the heart of what we do. Today we recognize their strength, honor their partnership, and stand committed to helping rebuild Jamaica’s agricultural community after Hurricane Melissa.

Work to be done.

What people say

Golden Krust, a fast food and Jamaican restaurant located on Flatbush Avenue in New York City, has received mixed reviews from critics and customers alike. Here's a summary of recent newspaper reviews and customer comments.

A review from The New York Times in May 2021 praised the restaurant's oxtail stew and curry goat as "worthy of repeat visits," but noted that some other dishes were "hit-or-miss." Another review from the same publication in January 2020 called Golden Krust's beef patties "delicious" but criticized the lack of seasoning on some other items.

On Yelp, recent customer reviews have been generally positive. One reviewer in July 2021 raved about the restaurant's jerk chicken, saying it was "the best I've ever had." Another in August 2021 said their meal was "great quality for the price."

However, not all customer reviews have been positive. In August 2021, one Yelp user complained about poor service from staff members who seemed uninterested in taking their order. Another reviewer said they were disappointed with the portion sizes.

Overall, it seems that Golden Krust has some standout dishes but may not be consistently excellent across its entire menu. Customers' experiences with service can also vary.
