The food was the best. Im very picky about eating out. The Golden Krust in Charlotte NC was a turn off for me years ago. So I was very hesitant about trying this location in NJ. But boy was I wrong. I told them if I could move them to CLT then I would eat their food all the time. Thanks for your great services. Be blessed.

Maggie, Thank you for giving us a chance and sharing this with us. We understand how one experience can shape expectations, so it means a lot that you decided to try our NJ location and enjoyed it. We are glad our team was able to change your mind and provide a great meal and service. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

First time coming here and it’ll definitely be my last. Walked in and was met with an attitude right away. I said I was just looking at the menu and the staff member rolled their eyes and walked off. When I was ready to order, I overheard the cashier telling the server I was “taking my time.” At that point I just said never mind and started to leave, and they all laughed together like it was funny. I’m not spending my money somewhere that treats customers like that. There are plenty of other places that actually appreciate your business. I wouldn’t recommend anyone eat here either.

Hello Shakiyl, We are really sorry this was your first experience with us. What you described is not how anyone should be treated, especially as a new guest. Feeling rushed or laughed at is unacceptable, and that is not the standard we hold our team to. Your feedback will be addressed with the store directly. We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.
