To Filipinos, Jollibee Isn’t Just Fast Food—It's a Destination - AFAR

"A childhood family tradition involved stopping here to buy buckets of fried chicken to bring back to North Carolina — sometimes eaten hours later and cold — illustrating how families went out of their way to share the familiar taste with relatives and friends." - Chloe Arrojado

Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken in America: The Bracket | Eater

"The chain’s signature bone-in offering, Chickenjoy, is lauded for a tectonically crunchy skin that can pleasantly slide off in sheets and very moist, flavorful meat that even picky kids devour. Its distinctive, gelatinous gravy is sweet-forward and unremarkable on its own but transforms each bite when slathered on the chicken, brightening and deepening the flavor; the chicken also holds up well after transport, making it a convenient family staple." - Eater Staff

First time trying Jollibee and wow! I was highly impressed! Fast service, friendly staff and the chicken was amazing. We tried the regular and spicy chicken options and it did not disappoint. Just like everyone else, I will also recommend the peach mango pie!!

Ate til I couldn't move! Gravy was fabulous for dipping chicken in and also poured over rice. Mango peach pie was to die for. While most of my family had already eaten here, it was my first. It did not disappoint! Cozy seating and fast service. We dined in. Place was busy but service was moving fast. Very clean and plenty of seating. Highly recommend!!

First time here last time here Wow total waste of money. Combo cost $13. 3 piece tender combo. If you want to charge that much for your chicken combos, at least have some flavor to your chicken. Bland flavorless just a total disappointment.

As a Filipino who drove over nine hours specifically to dine at this establishment, I was truly disappointed with the experience. We arrived around 9:25 PM, well before the posted closing time of 10:00 PM, only to find that many of the menu items we looked forward to were already unavailable. If a business advertises that it is open until 10 PM, customers should reasonably expect that food will still be available until then. To make matters worse, the staff began turning off the dining lights five minutes before closing, despite the fact that we were still inside and finishing our meal. This behavior felt unwelcoming and rushed, adding to the overall negative impression. I hope management considers reinforcing proper closing procedures and improving staff hospitality, especially for guests who make a long effort to visit.

Been waiting to try this place. After seeing so many reviews on YouTube. We arrived to a packed house. Went inside and the A/C appeared to be off because it was hot in the dining area. We ordered and opted to get our stuff to-go because of the uncomfortable temperature inside. The staff all seemed friendly and ordering was a cinch. Once we got our food we took it to the car and dug in. I got both original and spicy chicken to sample them both. Upon the first bite I saw that their chicken lives up to the hype. It's deliciously seasoned and very crispy without being over breaded. The original chicken is 10 out of 10 and the spicy chicken is a 9 out of 10... Oh, I'm not saying that the spicy isn't as good as the original. It's actually better, but it loses a point for not being very spicy. It's mildly spicy. I was expecting a bit of heat heat but barely got a tickle. The gravy is a 5 out of 10. Kind of sweet and lacks the salt and pepper that you expect from a gravy. I can take it or leave it. The biscuits are something special. They are kinda like the old KFC biscuits before KFC went all "zero trans fats". They're soft, buttery, moist and flaky. I could have eaten half a dozen with honey. Definitely 10 out of 10. The Jolly spaghetti is a 7.5 out of 10. I would have it again because of the unique flavors. I like it. The adobo rice is a 6 out of 10. It's nothing special but it's okay. We got both types of pies for dessert. The peach mango is easily a 10 out of 10. It's simply amazing. The ube pie was also good but not on the same level as the peach mango. I still give it 8 out of 10. When it comes to the specialty drink, we tried three different types, The pineapple quencher drink is a 10 out of 10. The strawberry Bliss freeze is a 10 out of 10 and the lychee iced tea was a 10 out of 10. All in all we really enjoyed the meal. I will definitely return to grab some chicken and try a few different items whenever I'm in the area again.

Spaghetti 🍝 and a diet Pepsi was over $11 after tax. Self-serve Pepsi fountain drinks. Counter staff was friendly and happy. There were probably 20 people in there and on the patio eating at 11:30 am. Spaghetti or the little hotdog slices have a smokey BBQ-like flavor. Sweet and tasty.

Wow. Everything tasted fresh. That’s rare these days. I had the 2 pc chicken joy meal with the peach refresher and peach mango pie. I also got a side of the adobo rice. I will be going back!

I'm writing this review after my fifth visit to this Jollibee location. The Chickenjoy was crispy and juicy, and the three-piece burger steak was quite satisfying. The peach mango pie is also a favorite. Staff were kind and patient even though it was packed.

I love living close to a Jollibee because this is one of the places I often crave! The chicken is always super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Its not too salty, but the gravy is perfect for getting that additional saltiness and flavor. And the spaghetti really satisfies the sweet craving for me. And the unique drinks are always refreshing. I feel like the macaroni is only really good if you eat it right away when it's hot. Otherwise it's alright. Only complaint is that the virtual menus change at such an inconvenient pace. And there aren't physical menus on display. So you have to wait for the screen to come back around, but it doesn't stay on long enough for you to read the whole thing, so you have to wait again. I think it would probably be fine when there's a long line, and you have to wait around. But we went when we were the only ones in line. And the cashiers were kind of impatient and kept trying to rush us to get our order in.

I like their food, but they get a lot of details wrong. They updated their app, which logged me out, and when I finally got my login I couldn't get it to accept my payment method. Plus the app showed different food than the real menu (e.g. we get a biscuit with our meal deal, which didn't show in the app). So we went to the counter to order. At least I was able to show them a QR code in my app to get my free birthday pie. One change since last time we were here: they no longer have buzzers. They ask for a name and call it when your order is ready. Buzzers are probably better, as you could miss them calling your name. The service was improved from previously: the two people we interacted with looked me in the eye and were helpful. We still had to ask for honey for our biscuit, however. They did screw up those biscuits: they no longer have butter for them. Breaking the warm biscuit apart and melting butter on it, then putting honey on it later, makes it taste wonderful. It's just not the same without the butter. The soda situation was a mess. Particles appeared in our Mountain Dew, and water poured out the side of the dispenser. We ended up getting a Sprit-type soda instead... and that tasted plasticy! When my wife reported the Mountain Dew problem, the girl offered to get us a soda from behind the counter, but we stuck with the other one we'd already poured; we should have taken her up on it. The food was good as usual. I tried an Angus burger this time; it was pleasant, but probably not as good as my usual fast food burger, so I won't have it here again. We like the peach mango pie, chicken with rice and gravy, and spaghetti, in about that order. The women's bathroom wasn't flooded this time, but they're still not good bathrooms: e.g. the faucet in both bathrooms splashes, and see my previous complaints. A two-piece chicken meal deal ($13), Angus burger ($6.49), and side of spaghetti ($4.89) came to $26.21, probably the most we've ever spent here. I was stuffed, eating almost all the burger and some of the rest. My wife would have preferred more chicken. In the past, just the meal deal and spaghetti side has been enough for us. I'll be back again occasionally for their good food, but they just get too many details wrong. I prefer my regular Culver's, where everything is always above average.

So delicious and worth the trip! We had an amazing experience at Jollibee Jacksonville! The Chickenjoy was crispy on the outside and super juicy inside -- exactly how fried chicken should be. The Palabok was flavorful and authentic, and the Jolly Spaghetti brought back childhood memories with its sweet and savory twist. And don't skip dessert -- the Ube Pie and Mango Pie were both fresh, flaky, and perfectly sweet! The staff was friendly and fast, and the whole place was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're craving Filipino comfort food -- we'll definitely be back for more!

This is the closest location from ATL. I had someone pick up my order from me who was traveling from JAX to ATL. Placing an order online was a breeze and was able to use my coupon. The only thing was they're out of peach mango pie at the time I ordered. I instantly received a text and email confirmation of my order. The following day I received an update that my order was running behind (I set my pick up time for 10 am), but ended up ready before 10 am anyway. Nothing can go wrong with chicken joy with loads of gravy and jolly spaghetti. Just a little piece of my old home to my new home.

Jollibee used to have breakfast meals, and boba smoothies and sells Mamon, then Covid happened and they removed all those, now the fried chicken with spaghetti, they beef steaks meals, peach mango pies, pineapple juice, and a lot of burgers type

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm glad I did. People at the counter could be friendlier but that's ok. TIP- download the app and order ahead of time. Food takes a while. Their spicy fried chicken was so crunchy and good. Their spaghetti was sweet and savory which I liked. Mashed potatoes were a good side item. The yumburgers were ok but I don't think that's the type of food you should get when you are at a place like this.

Shoutout to our local community heroes! This is our second order this week. We ordered delivery. We got our cravings: spicy chicken, macaroni and cheese, adobo rice, one ube pie, and peach mango pie. The spicy chicken was surprisingly very spicy and it was even spicier than Popeyes chicken spicy. I didn't realize that the fried chicken pieces would be dark meat only. The chicken breast is only noted in chicken finger form and sandwiches. The signature brown gravy is good on anything especially if you need a bit of a salty addition. I like extra salt on my fries and that makes it nice. The chicken flavor definitely didn't need any more spice, salt, or flavor because it was perfectly yummy spicy. The Mac and cheese was cheesy and a nice texture. The pies were so good!!! It's crispy like the OG apple pies at McDonald's! I miss that crunch! The peach mango pie is total comfort food! Not too sweet with a little bit of tartness. The ube pie was creamy almost like a vanilla pudding texture. An enjoyable meal! Today I got the chicken strips, crispy fries, mango peach pie, and the amazing Coconut Dream freeze! A big surprise for my taste buds after a long day of chores on a hot day!!

The Spicy Chicken Sandwich had no flavor. I'm so bummed as the last time I was here a few years ago I was amazing. The batter is red with spices, but no flavor on its own. The orange sauce has more sweet profile and no spice. And surprisingly the fresh jalapeños had no spice either. Good chicken sandwich but not the spice it should have. Fried chicken and gravy was great and the Mango Peach Pie is always delicious.

I love Jollibee!! This is definitely my favorite fried chicken! I love the spicy the best! It has so much flavor and when they say spicy, it truly is! The chicken is always super crispy and the chicken really juicy! I also love the pineapple quencher and the pies! Oh the pies! The peach mango is like nothing else! The use is also great when they have it! I am not a big potato person but I really like their mashed potatoes. They do not taste like instant and the gravy has a good flavor. The service is usually good. For a long time there, the orders used to take a long time and you could have to wait up to an hour. However, as time has gone by, they have gotten so much better.

I went through the driveway for faster because service and I was pleasantly surprised at how prompt , friendly and patient the service member was. I had questions about specials that were not on the menu displayed and add on. The young man politely engaged and answered all question. I ordered the 2 piece chicken Joy with spaghetti which did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy and delicious with the complimentary gravy. The spaghetti was meaty , saucy and cheesy - what a delectable combination to satisfy my palette. The pineapple juice was awesome. Thank you Jollibee for making my dinner special !!!!

Food is always tasty but DO NOT order a to go order or Uber Eats order from them. Two separate occasions I used Uber Eats to order from them and instead of spaghetti I get palabok or not even what I ordered. It's disappointing the to go manager or whoever is working packing the to go orders can't verify exactly what the order is before putting it in the bag and then sealing it.

On my family's roadtrip I wanted to stop at Jollibee since the only other one I had been to was in Madrid. We ordered the fried chicken, pancit, mash potatoes, adobo fried rice, ube pies, and a mango pie for my dad. The food was ok, but the food came out fast and the place was packed. The cashier and workers were all nice too.

Fast food restaurant with a sit in area. Food wait time was minimal. Food was served fresh. Only dark meat chicken for the chicken joy meals. Chicken fingers were white meat. Overall, food was well seasoned and served hot and fresh. Prices are higher than normal but are not astronomical. Service was ok. Missed a drink and told one person another ask what do they want in a manner as if we were asking for something we had not purchased.

I've been wanting to try Jollibee for years, so while we were traveling through the area we gave it a try. I created a Jollibee account and received a coupon for a free peach mango pie when placing an online order. We ordered a variety of items to try them out. We got the 3 piece chickenjoy (2 spicy and 1 original) with mashed potatoes and upgraded the other side to the jolly spaghetti. The spicy chickenjoy was our overall favorite. It was so flavorful, crispy and fresh! The mashed potatoes were fine, nothing crazy unique or bad. The spaghetti was not my thing. My husband and I each took one bite each and threw it away. We also got an order of the Palabok fiesta with a pineapple quencher. The palabok was fine, probably wouldn't order it again, but we did finish it. The pineapple quencher was really refreshing and yummy. We also got two of the pineapple mango pies, they are fried pies with a runnier filling than I'm used to seeing in pies. Very delicious but would probably be really messy eating on the go. Since we ordered online we walked up to the counter and got our food. There is also a cashier present to take orders there. The beverages are self serve unless you get the pineapple quencher. I wish there were more "photo spots." My daughter loved the little Jollibee character and would have loved to have taken a picture with them somewhere! Overall we liked our food here. Would we come back? Maybe. But we wouldn't go out of our way and would probably just stick to the chickenjoy next time!

My daughter had a craving for Jollibee and so we decided last minute to do a foodie weekend getaway trip from Atlanta to Jacksonville. I had never had Jollibee before, but she has. I made a big $90+ order. I like where this restaurant is located because it was easy to get to via GPS and in a lit shopping plaza with Ross and Walmart. We got a to-go. Honestly, I thought the foods were just okay. It tasted like your typical KFC, Church's, Popeyes, Bojangles. The only thing that stood out was the Lychee Tea which was refreshingly delicious and the spaghetti. It was right on point. Glad I tried it, but would I go out of my way for it? No.

Jollibee is always delicious. The spaghetti is my favorite side, a bit sweet and really flavorful. The chicken is always juicy and crunchy, and never misses. The only unfortunate thing is that you will always have to wait at least 45 minutes to get your food here, especially around lunch time. The peach mango pie is also a must try!!

I ordered on uber eats to scheduled to pick up. I ordered for my boyfriend who is in Jacksonville. I've put the right address and it was seen from the receipt on the Uber Eats app, as well. But this rude cashier told us that "maybe she ordered it in her area". Girl, the address is literally on what I am showing?! Service is bad.

Hubby and I were in the area and looking for a place to stop in for a quick lunch. We had been wanting to try Jollibee for some time now so we decided on that. The place was packed and we waited about 10 minutes just to place our order. I wanted to try the chicken tenders. Hubby ordered the 2 piece chickenjoy with adobo rice. We shared a peach mango pie. The cashier told us it was a 15-20 minute wait but we ended up only waiting 10 minutes to get our food which was nice. I thought the chicken tenders were too plain and a little on the dry side. I tried some of the adobo rice and liked that. Hubby thought the chickenjoy was good but nothing special. I used the gravy for my tender and that was pretty good, hubby didn't care for it. We both thought the peach mango pie was the best item. The service was great but the food was just okay. I don't think we will be back unless it's for a peach mango pie.

Great chicken and spaghetti. Reminds me of home. I love to finish off the meal with the mango pie. On weekends, it gets very busy. I had to wait 30 minutes to get my chicken. To save time, order on the app.

Thirty dollars for two of their three piece chicken tender meals. I'm okay with paying the price if the quality is good. However, these tenders were smaller than store bought and the usually fresh chicken we don't mind waiting for was cold and hard. I wouldn't usually post but the lady at the window practically threw the bag at me. Not coming back anytime soon.

I finally popped my Jollibee cherry today. It lives up to the hype. Their two piece spicy was flavorful and actually carried a mild heat unlike most chicken chains. Their spicy chicken sandwich deluxe is massive and has fresh jalapeños on it! Their gravy is the perfect accompaniment for you to dip their chicken in. The star was the deliciously stuffed peach and mango pie. Sure it's pricey, but it's worth it! 10/10!

To start, the chicken was AMAZING!!! Unfortunately when we went, there were no fries available so we tried the mashed potatoes and adobo rice. Mashed potatoes were good, rice lacked flavor. The gravy helped. Service was fast and the food was hot. I would definitely recommend.

OK so this is my second review of this restaurant. I'm doing this review basically due to the customer service that I received the last time that I came. Mostly jennifer the night manager. I've been here many times at this restaurant and you probably could see my review from before which I gave a review. I went to Resturant again the other night and ordered a 10 piece bucket mail and when I got there the young man that took my order told me it would be 15 minutes for the chicken I said that's fine I will wait. 30 minutes later I went to the front and asked them how much longer is it gonna be you guys said 15 minutes. The manager watch me ask the employees about the weight she didn't take it upon herself to say anything I'm sorry about the weight or anything. So the young man had to ask her How much longer because I've been waiting for a while she didn't even care about that she just said I was it'll be seven more minutes. Once I got the food I asked her is it normal for it to take 40 minutes for me to get chicken she said no but it's coming up right now what do you want me to do give you one piece of chicken. I said no you know what I'll take a refill of the pineapple juice that I've already bought because I had two of them. She said she could only refill one and then took the cup and went around the corner behind the counter where I couldn't see her to refill it instead of refilling it at the pineapple juice container that was right there in front where I got the 1st cup from. so needless to say I didn't even take the drink I told her never mind because I asked her why would she go around the corner to fill it up when it's just right there and she didn't have an answer. This was jennifer she was very rude. She didn't even wanna come to the front when the employee asked her to. Also the fries and the sides have been sitting in the bag already for the whole time since I ordered so when I got my food it was cold fries and cold sides. The food is usually really good at this restaurant and I've never had customer service that bad either they're usually pretty good. But I had to make this review because she was very nasty and rude.

Thought I would try this really (cult level following) popular Polynesian fast food place - interesting menu where fried chicken (chicken joy) is paired with spaghetti - I wasn't feeling super inspired to try something super different so I got their new spicy chicken sandwich - so good!!

We were driving around looking for something new to try for lunch and came upon Jollibee. The building says home of the famous chickenjoy but they also have hamburgers and spaghetti. I had the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The sandwich was just the right amount of spicy and the fries were good. Not soggy or over salted. Husband had the Chickenjoy 2 piece meal spicy with mashed potatoes and a mango peach pie. He said his food was good and he also liked the level of spicy.

I was on my lunch break and in the area. I've had them before and I wanted some fried chicken so I went inside and there were two people in front of me. Obviously they were newcomers which I get it but the menu is not that long and the indecisiveness was getting on my nerves. Mind you I was hungry cause I haven't eaten all day. The place was packed with people sitting down. So I walk up and she's like there's a 30 minute wait on food. I'm like "oookkk, I don't have time to wait." So I walked out. So when I got to my car, I had noticed no one was in the drive thru. Man...I went to the drive thru got my fresh 3 piece and rice in less than 3 minutes! It hit the spot! They lost a star cause of that lady at the counter. She wanna talk and talk and then say wait 30 minutes...lady bye! Just go through the drive thru.

Jollibee was gross! The food was greasy like a really bad version of Kentucky fried chicken. They don't give you a lot of food and there is definitely a language and cultural barrier. I felt intimidation when I asked what things I've never seen before on the menu. They have weird sides like spaghetti and meatballs and hotdog stuff its very strange. But some people must like it because they are always busy. And that's ok! Its good that we are all different

This store is always out of spicy chicken and they get my order incorrect or the order is missing items. They need to do a better quality check before items go out the door.

I've been reading about Jolibee for a long time and was excited to try one. I visited late one evening and ordered the chicken only to learn they only have dark meat. That was a big miss for me as I don't like dark meat. I persisted and got two pieces of chicken and found it to be...meh. Unlike KFC, Popeyes, Chick-fil-A and even Bojangles, the coating is not anything special. They give you gravy to dip it in and you will definitely need it. Their sides were sides. No better, no worse than the others. I didn't try to the spaghetti with wieners or palabok. I returned with my brother who loves dark meat. We went on a Tuesday afternoon at 1:30. How was the food then? Did my brother like it? We never got to find out. The line snaked in a U around the restaurant, with large families staking out the seating. It was a cold day and people had to sit outside. We were in line for 45 minutes and we moved five feet. It seemed they could only wait on one customer at a time and all orders were huge. They would take the order of a customer, usher them to the left and then fulfil their order before summoning the next one. We were tired of waiting and left with about 10 people in line in front of us. The service is not polite or friendly but then I find most Jacksonville businesses to have that problem. The place has a huge Filipino (from its origins) and Asian following, either because it's what they know or they don't like American-style chicken. The food is what it is but the service and efficiency needs the biggest overhaul of any business I've ever frequented. Just a terribly, terribly inefficient business.

You wouldn't think fast food could be this unique and delicious. Buh bye KFC, there's a new bucket o' chicken in town. I mean who doesn't want fried chicken and spaghetti together? I do and I did! For $8.49 I got one piece of my choice (leg) of spicy or original (for me spicy!) and a side of spaghetti and included a fountain drink. Since I don't drink soda, especially not Pepsi products, I opted for a bottle of water and no up charge for it! Chicken was good. Meat fell off the bone. Spicy was a kick, not too spicy. A little greasy for my taste, but under the skin the meat itself was juicy and tender. Chicken comes with a side of gravy to dip it in. I'm not a gravy fan, but this was good gravy (ha ha) light and a tiny peppery kick. My husband dipped his chicken and fries in it (insta-poutine!). The spaghetti was the star for me! This is not what you expect. Cheesy goodness and small hotdog like pork sausage slices, and a tomato sauce that tasted so good I'd come back just for this! The peach mango pie made McDonald's apple pie a thing of only my childhood- aka THE PAST! Crust was warm and tasty, flaky and the peach mango filling like a hot pie hit the spot. There is so much more to try on the menu and will definitely return. Hurry and bring one to Orlando please.

Filipino Fast Food- and pretty pricey fast food too. My other half has been jonesing to try Jollibee forever & we finally popped in last week. We ordered a 1-pc Chickenjoy With Palabok Fiesta- the chicken was juicy, flavorful and good. The Palabok Fiesta was different- John forgot about the pork rinds and for a minute wondered what the heck was crunchy in this pasta dish! We also got a Yum-burger with cheese- pretty standard for a cheeseburger, it had a sauce on it that was similar to a huge fast food chains "secret sauce". And... we got the peach mango pie, which was delicious and I totally dripped on the front of my shirt- you simply couldn't bite into it without filling oozing out the bottom! All of that (the 1st plate came with a drink, or we were upcharged for one) came to over $17. Ouch. And the cheeseburger was just the burger- no sides, no drink. I could see us going again for the chicken, but it wasn't something I would go out of my way to get in the future.

Pros: cute restaurant, clean, polite and fast workers,cute uniforms, pineapple quencher is good Cons: The food sucks. Hamburgers are small and bland, palabok wasn't good, chicken is nothing special. The food is expensive and you get very bland boring food.

Inside dining was close the time I went about a month ago. Drive thru is open and lines can get pretty long. It was a decent wait time. I ordered the spicy 2 piece chicken and the spaghetti. Chicken was hot, spicy, and nicely fried. Gravy was a great addition for dipping the chicken. The fried chicken was pretty big in size as well. I always do enjoy the spaghetti every time I order it. They do offer great family meal deals and individual combo meals. Service was quick and everything came just as is. Can't wait for a Jollibee to be open near me!

Finally got a chance to get Jollibee in the US. Jollibee has a cult following among Filipinos, so understandably that there was a line in store when we visited. We ordered the 10 piece chickenjoy bucket($19.99), Spicy chicken sandwich combo with pineapple juice($7.49) and Halo halo($5.49). Was charged 25 cents for a honey mustard dip that we had to ask again to get. The chicken was not that great, on the greasy side with little flavor. Perhaps what redeemed it was the gravy and the breading. Halo halo was an off menu option it seems, but the flavors just did not hit for me. Perhaps my rating has been clouded by the Jollibee I had back in Singapore, but I left slightly disappointed.

I fell in love with Jollibee in NY when I tried their delicious chicken and mango peach pie for the first time. On my recent trip to FL I saw there was one in the Jacksonville area so we planned to stop there for sure. This location is in a shopping center with a Walmart, kohl's and a few other chain stores. On the day I was there they still had their dining room closed due to Covid which was a bit of a disappointment since many other restaurants are open for dine in already. They did have a few outside tables to eat at but they were all being used by other customers. We ordered a huge amount of food for 4 people because we don't live anywhere close to a Jollibee and let's face it, you gotta just get it while you can! We ordered two two-piece with one side combos. One of the sides we chose was the spaghetti. Not my cup of tea at all but we wanted our teens to try it so they would know what it was like. Sweet, like ketchup sauce with cut up hotdogs and what looked like spam all mixed in over spaghetti and topped with shredded cheese. Not at all good in my opinion but a lot of people love it. With our other combo we got Palabok. It's thin rice noodles, shrimp, ground pork and a sauce that covered it all. Again, it wasn't my favorite but happy I tried it so now I know. The star of the show at Jollibee is the chicken, served with brown gravy for dipping- just do it because it's yummy! The chicken is so delicious, juicy and crispy. Just some of the best fast food chicken out there. This time around my husband wanted to try a couple of the burgers they have as well. The Aloha Burger and a Yumburger were his choices. I had a few bites of each and that Aloha Burger is simply amazing! I am now craving that burger along with the chicken. The Yumburger was too plain and boring for me but might be a good choice for a smaller appetite or just someone who wants a basic no frills burger. Of course you can't go to Jollibee and not get the mango peach pie. This is THE BEST fast food pie out there. None of the other chains desserts even come close to this pie IMO. I ate two and washed it all down with some of their delicious Pineapple drink. I left there so full but so happy! Jollibee, I hope you open a location closer to me someday. I will be a regular there and tell everyone I know how delicious your food is.

Someone made the mistake of telling me this fast-food chain's chicken (and chicken sandwich) is better than Popeye's, so my expectations were raised too high. Chicken - 2.5 stars out of 5 Fries - 2 stars out of 5 Chicken sandwich - 1 star out of 5 Oh, and I'm being generous. This is a 1.5 star level of quality restaurant tops. And for some reason this Philippine-fused chicken joint sells drive-thru spaghetti too. You know. In case.

First time visiting a Jollibee's. Arrived at lunch time and the place was packed. Everyone was primarily ordering large family size orders. When it was our turn to order, I ordered the three piece fried chicken with white rice and gravy. The chicken was all dark meat, which I prefer, but there was no option for a breast or wing. The only white meat chicken I saw was the chicken tenders, which my wife ordered along with mash potatoes and gravy. For hers, she said it was average. Nothing special. My three piece chicken pieces were nice size, bigger than Popeyes or KFC. The chicken was crispy and tasty. The white rice with the gravy was delicious. I also dipped the chicken in the gravy which actually made the chicken pop with a little more peppery flavoring. We were traveling so we didn't order much on this visit. I highly recommend trying Jollibee's if you love fried chicken!

Being someone who enjoys Filipino cuisine, I can't believe I waited so long to try Jollibee. Honestly, I had no idea what it was. I couldn't place the penguin mascot with anything and had to Google it so that I wasn't "that" person in the drive through learning about it while a line of people waited behind me. I'm so glad I finally did! I ordered the Palabok (pron: puh-LAH-book) Fiesta and the 2-piece Chickenjoy with a side of mashed potatoes. Both were delicious, and that gravy that comes with the fried chicken? SO good, as was the chicken itself. The palabok fiesta was new to me and I'll definitely get that again. It's pancit noodles topped with a flavorful garlic sauce that includes pork and shrimp (that cannot be removed) and hard-boiled egg. This was definitely a pleasant surprise and I'll certainly be back with my two teenagers!

I love chicken and jollibee is a great place for that crispy hot chicken! The spicy chicken is my favorite with a side of rice and gravy. My least favorite would be the spaghetti bc it's a tad bit too sweet for my taste. I'm not a huge mango fan but all my friends raved about the mango pie and honestly it was soooo good! The cri spines was asmr worthy and the filling was sweet and balanced the crust outside. I normally get drive through but the one time I ate inside was a pleasant experience as well bc everyone is nice. Definitely go check it out!

Finally made it to Jollibee and I will say it lived up to the hype. I will say it's odd when doing a review for what in the Philippines is a fast food restaurant but to me this is so much more. Now I know we ordered at the drive through and went with a 6 piece Spicy Chickenjoy Bucket. ( You gotta get the bucket) and an order of the Jolly Spaghetti. The Chickenjoy Bucket comes with (3 legs, 3 thighs) which is good for me since I prefer dark meat. I will say this fried chicken was very good. Unlike other fried chicken restaurants Jollibee's Spicy chicken is actually spicy and oh is it juicy. They also open me up to something new. The chickenjoy buckets comes with an gravy to dip your chicken in it and I now don't know if I can eat fried chicken without gravy though it will probably send me to an early grave if I do it too often. Now the Jolly Spaghetti which to some comes with some controversy and to Italians an abomination but I oddly enough really enjoyed it. The sweet meatiness of the sauce really worked for me. I will say both were of the pricey side with the 6 piece chickenjoy bucket being $15.99 and the Jolly Spaghetti being $7.99 but again I did enjoy both of them. I will say if you don't like dark meat maybe stick with the tenders or chicken sandwich but I will for sure be coming back to get my Filipino fried chicken and spaghetti fixings.

menu is so limited, other Jollibees have more variety, such as the halo halo for example. they seldom clean the tables. Somewhat slow for small easy orders. It has been months without the spicy chicken. The only reason I didn't give 1-star its because the food is always good.
