Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant

Today, I arrived to find out that the portion size for the same thing I used to order is now half the size and for the same price. I don't know what is happening at this place. I've been a loyal customer since it opened 15 years ago and boy it has changed. The service is great because the workers are very pleasant and efficient with getting my order. However, aside from that, the food is inconsistent. The owner keeps jacking up the prices every few weeks. In the past 3 months, the owner has increased the prices at least 3 times. What has me upset is the portion sizes are now smaller but I'm having to pay the same amount for half the portion size of what I used to have. I have decided after all these years to stop coming there. I will cook it myself. It was convenient when I just used to stop by and pick up my lunch or dinner but with the prices as jacked up as they are, to me it is not worth it especially when half the time the chicken is not fully cooked and it just is not flavorful. Plus, I have found other options for Caribbean food in the area so I will not be going there anymore! The best part about this place is the workers because they are great! I feel sorry for them especially it could be 100 degrees outside and there is no AC in that place! You would think the least the owner could do is have a decent working AC so his workers don't pass out! I'm really disappointed because I used to have so much respect for the owner but now I feel that he is just being greedy. Nothing against the workers but just the owner. After today, he has lost a loyal customer.

How can you charge $4.79 for a tasteless, dried up, over-cooked patty when on the same day the Golden Krust in Garner charges only $3.10 for the same patty that is cooked well? That's 55% more expensive than the store in Garner. An absolute rip-off
Also, if you're going to charge rip-off prices, at least spend some money on air conditioning and updating the decor. Floor and ceiling fans just don't cut it in the middle of the summer.
And the service wasn't much better than the patties and decor.
This was BY FAR the worst Golden Krust I have had the misfortune to eat in.

The customer service is horrible and the food isn’t nothing like it use to be and the prices has went up! The cabbage doesn’t taste good at all ?.. And my significant other didn’t like the chicken patties. He said they were dry!

By the way, you don’t get plantains on your plate. Sold separately!

Awful food!! How can you say Caribbean it has no flavor. It was sort of kind of baked, not grilled no smoke flavor at all. The chicken was extra dry. The rice was dry. The cabbage was dry and it had no Caribbean or Jamaican flavors at all. The restaurant is clean; the workers were friendly.ps it’s in a stripmall

BEWARE!!!! There is a guy working here in his early 30's with a receding hairline, short braids and wears fake jewelry. I have filed a police report on him and will be pressing criminal charges on him. If you eat at this restaurant, make sure to use CASH. DO NOT USE YOUR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD. They have a financial fraud scamming alien criminal working in this establishment.

Paid 5 for a spicy beef patty from this location and it's ridiculously sad that the patty had hardly NO beef. Smh... 5 dollars for a piece of crust. Never again will I buy anything from this location. Definitely a waste of money.

The rice was hard and salty. Cabbage was sappy and salty. The jerk chicken was nothing like any jerk chicken I ever taste. Overall, the food was awful and old. It definitely wasn’t cooked today!!!

The culinary experience at this place is truly remarkable; the oxtails practically dissolve on your tongue, while the rice and peas are an absolute delight. The service is impeccable, with genuinely friendly staff. If you find yourself in Durham, don't miss the opportunity to visit this gem!

Jamaican food options are pretty limited in the Triangle. However, if you’re from another state (like me) you’re likely familiar with Golden Krust. It’s probably the best Jamaican food you will find in the area, so if you have a craving, this should hold you over!

Excellent service, friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Lots of options even vegetarian. Fair prices, great for fresh juice. I love golden crust and this isn’t another excellent location. Can’t wait to eat here again $15 and I’m full!

Got spicy beef and chicken patties with cocoa bread. The patties were good but paying over $30 for just 4 patties and 4 pieces of cocoa bread is a a bit much to me. Having been to Jamaican spots from East to West coast and even to Canada, I'd say the food was aight but the food is overpriced, atleast the patties and bread were.
