Reviews for Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant in St. Petersburg, FL
It was delicious, I highly recommend that you try them out.
Went into the empty store about 6:30pm, first time ever. No prices posted anywhere for any of the items. Asked the lady could I... please have a menu and was rudely told she doesn't do paper menus anymore. She said I have to go online for the menu. I said OK,where?, and she snaps "look it up." After several minutes finding the GK website and putting in my location, found a generalmenu, still without prices. I told her this and she rattled off a list of items and prices much too fast to understand. Iordered nothing and will not be returning. Read more

I am Jamaican. Love my people and the food. I'm even somewhat accepting of the "it done", less than stellar customer service... that can be experienced at Jamaican restaurants, however this place falls so far below the decency of basic Jamaican service.Our family has patronized this Golden Krust through the multiple owners but will no longer. We were excited when it opened andhave seen the decline since this last owner took over. We put up with unfriendly service. We even put up with overbaked patties.Since I love to support my Yardies, I first mentioned that the patties were overbaked, hoping for a change. No such luck. Then Ifigured that I could still support the sister by buying the patties frozen and baking myself. Well, that ended in disaster. She clumped all three dozen patties together wrapped in parchment paper. Stuffed them in a old ziplock bag (with a brokenzipper) and pushed them in a shopping bag as she says "you better put them in the freezer right away, cause them soft rightnow". Mind you, I had to wait for her to get them out of the back freezer and she made me wait till she served the 2 customerswho were behind me in line because she seemed like she didn't want to make the freezer walk. I asked for the foil pan that theyusually come in and she said it's only given when she bakes it there. The only reason I didn't order them prebaked was becauselast time they were overdone, hard and barely edible. I immediately went home and put them in the freezer. This morning I tookthem out to find a frozen clumpped mess. I spent an hour trying to separate them for baking. I have baked patties before onmultiple occasions (before Golden Krust opened near me I got patties from Hammonds in Miami and baked them perfectly at home).I am leaving this review so that no one will think that this place is representative of Jamaican restaurants and hopefullycorporate will intervene and make this franchise location adhere to GK standards.

We arrived at the location at 930 in the morning. However there are only two options on the menu. The food is weird and the... service attitude is cold. Also, they don't provide cup water and we have to buy bottles. Not big problem. But caveat emptor. Idon't need to endure this especially when my family is present, visiting from abroad. I hope we being Asian did not play afactor in the treatment but I would not pin my hope for better treatment on my own wishful thinking. Conclusion: avoid,especially you are considered lower in their internalized racial totem pole. Read more
The food is amazing definitely going back ... goat curry and bean rice ... 5 star ... still need to go back and try Ox tail... which my whole office is talking about ... Read more
Pros: the food is not bad. It works if you're in the mood for Caribbean food but can't cook it yourself. Cons: there are no... prices anywhere. Not even online. I don't remember seeing a menu but I had written down what I wanted at home. Overall I washappy. We ordered the oxtail meal, curry chicken meal, chicken patty (really good), and some sides because I don't eat muchmeat. My husband said the meat dishes were pretty good. The Roti is excellent. We preferred chicken over goat. It's a smallplace. The staff were friendly. Very similar to the Orlando restaurant. Read more
