Golden Krust Carribean Restaurant - Caribbean restaurant in Newburgh - 50 NY-17K Suite 114, USA

As a new resident to the area, I was worried if I’d find the equivalent or better Jamaican food as the Bronx. I was pleasantly surprised as both visits to GK were met with wonderful customer service by the female serving and the male cashing. I’m sorry I didn’t catch the names but I’ll be back. Excellent portions and flavor. I always feel I got my monies worth. Keep up the good work.

Editing my review to add a response to the owner’s comment below— I did not make a negative comment on the person that works slowly. I was trying to highlight how kind he is. I never said that I wanted extra pieces. I didn’t see when my food was being put together as others moved forward to place their order. I did call when I reached home. I was told “sorry about that”. An attempt to make it right was never made. I appreciate your response but in all fairness, I feel like I should post an update because you are assuming I did not call. You are assuming that I want extra food. I asked how long the patty takes so I can decide if I will wait in my car. You are assuming that I am annoyed or discriminating against your staff that moves slowly. I was trying to describe him so you can be aware that though I am upset about this morning, I was giving him a compliment. I never complained to your staff about anything else besides when your new staff gave me more bones instead of meat. No where did I mention your prices. I had no issue paying your asked prices. Please do not feel that way. Regardless, as a customer, I should not have to apologize. A proper response would have been a direct response to continue this conversation privately. The sign says 9am open so I went in around 9:15am. No one was at the counter but there was food there. A man walked in and went to the back. He then came up to me and told me to leave that the door should have been locked and that I shouldn’t be in there until the ladies arrive. I told him the door said 9am and I just wanted a patty. He said it won’t be ready until the next hour and I asked him how long it takes to bake, I don’t mind waiting. He said no. I ended up leaving but I did confirm that the door said 9am. I was running my errands and saw they were open and was excited to grab my usual. Normally they are open! Since I’m here, I might as well share that they normally run out of curry goat and jerk by 5pm or so. They don’t make more after that. I’ve had several instances where I came and left because there was barely any food. Also, the guy in the picture dished out my food once and I got 3 pieces of curry goat that were edible in a large curry goat and white rice. The rest was bones!! Generally, the folks here are nice and accommodating so I let it go. Consistency is important and I feel like you get different portion sizes based on who serves you. There’s an older guy who is very slow and talks a lot but he is kind and his portion sizes are always excellent. I’m sorry to just say it all now but I’m just frustrated with this past experience. It is now 9:35am and the guy who works the front is still standing outside the front door waiting to be let in since the other man closed the door after telling me to leave. Oh also, he told me that the owner is upset that I’m in the store at 9:15am and showed me his phone was ringing because I’m being seen on the camera. Overall, I’m not happy!! I was made to feel like I did something wrong!!

They skimp on the proportions. Especially when the manager is there. This plate here had the smallest proportion of meat I’ve ever seen and was most bones. Put more meat. Everybody don’t want a boat load of rice. There should be a standard amount of meat you put in your plates. It is alway inconsistent Stop being stingy please. Eventually customers will catch on to what’s happening. Once they do you will be only selling patties.

I live in Middletown and ventured to Newburgh after seeing this place online. I like how the food is front and center so you can see what you’re getting, you have your choice of three different kinds of rices and a variety of dishes from curry goat to fish and fried chicken. A large oxtail will run you about $25 BUT in saying that you definitely will get your money’s worth. I have not encountered any issues so far and the staff are always nice and patient while you decide especially with so many choices.This will always be my last stop when I’m in Newburgh before going home to Middletown.

Fresh meals daily. Friendly staff. Clean and warm environment. Everything is always on point in freshness and flavour. My opinion; best oxtails in Orange County...quick service as well. Always advised to arrive early.

Amazing food and even better staff. Have been going there ever since it open. The oxtail, bbq chicken and the Pattie’s are delicious. I also tried their breakfast and omg it’s definitely a most. The lines are long but it’s worth it. Unique has finally given us the best Caribbean food in Newburgh.

Stopped by golden crust for the first time. The service was immaculate. The guy was very friendly and attentive. I had the oxtail fried plantain cabbage and spinach rice and it was bomb. The portion size was very good for the price and the quality of the food was phenomenal. The oxtail was very tender, flavorful and plentiful. I had to finish it all in two sittings. I most def will be back again.

Great, authentic, Jamaican food, paired up with great service by Chris and Mommy makes golden krust a great experience always. The customer service is great as both workers are incredibly friendly and helpful and the food coming out piping hot and fresh. For any lover of Jamaican food or anyone who wants to find somewhere to try it, I would 100% recommend Golden Krust.
