Went to the Golden Kurst on 33rd and Mad for 2 $0.99 patties. (The sign is inside the store, since there is little window space for display.) Found the patties cheerfully inoffensive, though the crust was hardly golden. 2 patties represented a surprisingly decent amount of food. Supplanting the $2 lunch with an apple from a cart and some free office snacks now.

I was in there once before and there was an inexplicably lengthy wait for ordering and food, but today there were few other patrons within.

There’s actually a GK station in the Grand Central.. umm.. Food Court (is that what the basement is called?). Fun to know it’s there, but sadly they do not offer the 99 cents special :<

Had it today at 43d & 3d. Could not find chicken, filling was all gravy-like sauce. Fared better with vegie patty, but inferior to GK in Brooklyn.

Does anyone know if the Union Square Golden Krust has this offer?

It’s on 14th near 6/7th I think.

Thanks in advance!

I love GK! I go to the one on 33rd btwn 5th and Madison all the time. The fried chicken is great and the jerk chicken is good too. I always get a Small combo meal, since one time I ate a whole Medium and got a food coma worse than the Tina fried pork/plaintain sandwich coma. I like the patties too, but you definitely need a gallon of water to drink afterwards. The other day I got some kind of strange looking peanut brittle bar thing there, which was good if you like your peanut brittle with tons of ginger… maybe not my favorite. But I still ate the whole thing. They have lots of interesting looking drinks there too in the 2 fridges.

I’ve considered writing up this place as we have two downtown locations but I thought it was too much like a chain..

in reality though they have the min meals as DubbininBklyn mentioned, and the fried whiting one is actually quite good, and they used to have it for like 5 bucks with a drink!

Place of last resort. The mini meals are relatively filling and they have a fried chicken special once a week. I have never had a jerk chicken patty, I prefer the curry chicken patty.

They are good and consistent, but you can have better. Better is just a bit harder to find…therefore Golden Krust is always a solid option.

@southeastmidtowner – I wish I could blame my mispellings on “cleverness” but the truth is, I’m just retarded.

I’m down with Golden Krust. There’s no reason to go to one in midtown when you’ve got the Dutchy right around the corner… but should you ever find yourself in a mall or airport in middle-America, jonesing a jerk chicken patty and coco bread, it’ll definitely get the job done, at a reasonable price (if such things excite you).
