Across the street from LaGuardia Community College, the little store is the home to my favorite beef patties. I occasionally order their Caribbean dishes like the jerked chicken dishes and once tried the Braised Oxtail Combo. If you are a beef patty fan, these beef patties are worth ordering for $2.00 because they are a different style than anything you would get from the frozen section of the supermarket or from a pizza shop. Though good, those combo dishes are expensive, running $7.99 to over $11.00plus, unfortunately you're not getting plentiful, it's just a plain medium platter, so to me it's slightly overpriced for the amount and flavor but still worthwhile to try. The flavor and over all taste is nothing to rave about from this chain. Whenever I am near the area, I always stop by to grab one or two of their spicy Jamaican beef patties for a snack. If I have time I will sit and chow down on one of their glossy wooden tables. One of the reasons I give it four stars is because sitting in the store is comfortable (compared to other Golden Krust I been to), clean and has a good view of the outside as you eat. The view, comfort level and the food are the patties are the reason for the four stars for a chain with such a small establishment. The staff are okay, they do their job and handle the lines when it gets busy. Though not the most friendly, service is good. If you go in there enough, one cool lady will remember your order. She often remembers my usual. I'll be around.
If you make it across the dangerous intersection of Thomson and van dam street right next to a 7-eleven you will see Golden Krust. Situated near Laguardia community college it is a total dead zone of food places only Thomson diner, a chinese restaurant and a school cafe. With all of these lackluster choices Golden Krust was a diamond in the rough.
Golden Krust is all about their patties- they have different beef and chicken patties and this time I was able to get the curry chicken patty which was not filled to bursting like a empanada or a meat pie but did have good flavor and the flaky crust made up for it. you can also try it in their special cocobread but the patty alone is fine. I actually wanted to try the jerk chicken patty but they ran out of those but the curry chicken was a good second.
they have a board out front of what their lunch specials are. that day they had fried fish fritters but i wanted to try the curry goat. you can get a large or a small. the small is a pretty decent size but the large can be overwhelming. you can probably share this or have it for lunch and dinner. it came with rice and beans and a side of cabbage or steamed veggies if you prefer. The rice and beans was made dirty rice style with the beans mashed and mixed into it and has a smoky flavor. the goat was cooked tenderly and had good curry flavor since it was stewed and the nice dark pieces had a little pink inside.
they also stock specialty sodas and have baked goods by the register.
A very satisfying lunch considering that it is a chain especially if you are in the mood for caribbean food which I always am but i would say that their regular prices would amount to what I would consider dinner prices unless you get a lunch special. It is also not the cleanest looking place from the outside but a lot of people come in to grab patties to go.
