Brand overview
Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant has been serving authentic Jamaican cuisine since 1989. Founded by the Hawthorne family in the Bronx, the brand quickly became the first Caribbean-owned business in the U.S. to be granted a franchise license. Today, Golden Krust operates quick-service restaurants featuring original recipes from Jamaica, including signature jerk chicken, braised oxtail, brown stewed chicken, and freshly cooked patties available in-restaurant and through retail products for on-the-go enjoyment.
