"This Filipino fast-food favorite opened its fourth local location in a 3,103-square-foot stand-alone building at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Horizon Ridge Parkway, at the entrance to the Eastern Commons retail center near Seafood City and Bad Owl Coffee. The site features a glass-walled dining room (not yet open for dine-in) and exterior decoration bearing the brand’s smiling bee mascot; for now it operates for drive-thru, call‑in pickup and to‑go orders only while phasing in its full menu. Fans can already order buckets or pieces of the famous fried Chickenjoy in original and spicy flavors, Jolly spaghetti, burger steaks, the “cheesy Yumburger,” chicken sandwiches, a palabok fiesta noodle dish, sides like mashed potatoes and gravy, and desserts such as peach mango pie and the pineapple quencher; hours are daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. The chain also maintains other local outlets inside Seafood City on Maryland Parkway, at Village Square, and on Rainbow Boulevard." - Bradley Martin
