Golden Krust has hundreds of locations around the country, including one in Springfield, MA. Saturday’s opening in Mattapan will include live entertainment, 99-cent beef patties between 12 and 4 p.m., and giveaways, according to a banner on the company’s Facebook page.

The menu at Golden Krust includes patties filled with beef, chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and spinach. Jerk chicken and fish are available in wraps and sandwiches, and the restaurant also offers a lineup of combo platters, which feature curried goat, braised oxtail, and whole fish, among other options. On the sweeter side, there are ginger-flavored bulla cakes and other assorted pastries.
