I was very excited when Golden Krust opened in Plainfield. My job is not even 3 minutes away! Prior to this, the closest one was in Union which is substantially further.
I was here opening week and have come and gone close to 10 times since then. The food is extremely consistent as is any Golden Krust and the portions are always excellent. The oxtail can be expensive but that just comes with the territory. As with any Jamaican food, you will find some bones in the meat, eat with caution and chew softly.
There's a drive through here, which I think is new to the franchise? A few times I've ordered through there and either I was left hanging at the speaker system for an extended period of time, or they've told me to come in.....which defeats the purpose of a drive through. Do they not like taking orders over the comm system?

The options are truly endless and the quality is top tier. I ordered many of our favorites, such as oxtail, curry goat, curry chicken, chicken soup, patties, plantains etc. Every dish was a homerun, DELICIOUS! This may be the best Golden Crust I've experienced. Listen, run don't walk to this spot! You will not be...
Read moreToday got breakfast and look at the little amount of Codfish I got. A little child’s portion. Definitely not worth the trip, it really depends who is servicing you. I have been coming since openned, and recommended spot to several people but this lady every time she serves me I get this tiny amount. This is the last time I go here. Woman serving me didn’t listen to what I was ordering, it was 11:30am and she said not serving breakfast anymore then turns around and gives me breakfast but such a TINY portion. The $$ I paid wasn’t tiny so why the portion soo Little, just smh. See pics below not enough salt fish to even finish eating with the 3 pieces of provision served with it. What a waste of my time, totally...
