Food was freaking awesome. We dont have a GK in New Mexico, so while visiting family we saw GK and had to stop in. We were not disappointed! I came in when they were closing in 30, and walked out with oxtail (OMFG) and my wife had the curry chicken, which she equally loved, and a Ting and Pineapple Ginger I believe. And she's Jamaican so she knows how the food should taste. All she did was close her eyes, rub her feet together, chewed slowly and sighed Yummmmmm!!😋😋😋💎🏆 Also, they really clean their machines. I watched the young man carefully soap and rinse the drinking machines and where they store their food.

I was searching for something to eat and found out there was a Golden Crust! I absolutely had to come and it was definitely worth the drive, especially since I live in Sarasota! The lady at the front desk is so nice! Definitely exceptional customer service, she helped me find my smile after a long day at work! 💕🤗

Food was excellent! Very authentic and fresh! Spiced just right! We had the curry chicken, brown stewed chicken, plantains, rice and beans, and a side of jerk wings. Service was good and they were all polite and friendly. Food was well priced ! Very reasonable!!Only thing I wish is that there was free refills. We ordered water and there was only water bottles for 2 a piece. With spicy food you get thirsty lol! Thank you we will def be back.
