Golden Krust Caribbean - Catonsville

I would definitely consider myself a foodie. I often drive for hours just to find great food. Well, this place is by far my new go-to spot for island cuisine! I would travel all the way to Southeast DC for this delicious, authentic food that reminds me of home. The staff and customers are wonderful and provide engaging conversation while we waited. The food comes out quickly and is served hot. We went back the very next day!

My coworker raved about how delicious the food at Golden Krust is, so today I decided to order lunch from there. I got the Jerk chicken, and it was absolutely DELICIOUS! Ebony was my server; she was friendly and provided excellent customer service. I even called back later to thank the chef for serving such great food to the community.

The staff is fantastic, feeling almost like family. Avarel, Ebony, Ann, and the morning chef always make my visits enjoyable. I love getting my favorite meals, like the Saturday soup, fish, and patties. It's their wonderful service that keeps me coming back!

The food is awesome! But the two ladies never smile. They make me feel as though they have something better to do. Then get food for us. If it wasn't for the food I would never come back here. So if you come here just get your food and go. You feel depressed when you leave.

Occasionally, I get a craving for oxtails, and not everyone does them right. So when my foodie friend hyped up this place in Catonsville, I was like “Uh huh. Let’s see.” He can be hit or miss with his go-to spots, but Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant in Catonsville (I can’t speak for any other locations) is definitely a HIT! The oxtails were so tender they fell off the bone, the rice and beans had the perfect consistency and flavor, the cabbage/vegetables were perfectly seasoned and the plantains (which I questioned at first if they were burnt) were also cooked to perfection. The best part was that gravy. I tried another Jamaican restaurant recently, where the gravy tasted like it was out of a packet. Not the case here. It was so rich and yummy. My niece, who never had Jamaican cuisine, even gushed about how good everything was. Also, the service was excellent and they weren’t stingy with the portions! So if you’re ever in the Catonsville/Randallstown area and have a craving for authentic oxtail, make your way here.
