2pc Chickenjoy w/ Biscuit + 2 Sides
Nancy P.

The three stars are for the food because it is amazing! I had been wanting to try Jollibee for so long and was finally able to. The fried chicken is everything you want fried chicken to be: crunchy and juicy! I got a 2 piece chicken (one spicy, one regular) with 2 sides (fries and a mashed potato). The spicy is spicy but tolerable and both pieces were very delicious. The gravy the serve you to dunk your chicken in is so flavorful. I was dipping my fries in it. The place was packed and disorganized as well as dirty. The service, however, was very quick. We ended up getting an ube pie and a mango pie to go. They were both good but the mango pie was way better. The ube one tasted like a thick paste in the pie.

First thing is first... This was the first time my wife had Jollibee since leaving the Philippines. Filipina approval! (I was so afraid it wouldn't live up to the same standards and quality.). So why 3 stars? This location. Good lord. We might go to the burbs locations on our next visit. This location is on Michigan Avenue right across from the Art Museum. It's already a busy area... pair that with all the downtown Filipinos eating here and all of the other people that have heard how Filipinos love their Jollibee... what a recipe for disaster-busy. The first time we went... we stood in line for 10 minutes just to be told the wait time would be 1 hour. We decided to leave and return another time... but the next time we placed an online order in advance. Before leaving the aquarium, we placed the order for pickup... the app told us the order would be ready within 10 minutes. Ok... sounds good. We had a 30ish minute walk ahead. We arrived 50 minutes after the Order Ready ETA... and still had to wait 20 minutes more before someone even spoke to us at the pick-up side. Needless to say, it was an absolute madhouse every time we visited or walked by. Complete chaos, and I can only hope those employees are paid well. Food-wise - It was delicious. My wife had Jolly spaghetti and chickenjoy. I just wanted a chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. I was able to eat half of it one day and half of it later that night after a concert. I also ordered an Ube pie... something I didn't get to try while in the Philippines because all we could ever find were peach mango pies and buko pies. It was also delicious! So with that... if you need your Jolibee and can be patient through the long wait... you'll be satisfied. I love Jolibee, and I'm generally a patient person, but the headache with this place is too much. I'll try the other Chicago locations next time.

6pc Chickenjoy Meal Deal
Connie L.

Jollibee Chicken is soo good! It was very crispy and juicy. By far one of the better (if not best) fast food fried chicken we've had. I thought the sides were okay. Not really a fan of their sweet spaghetti but the adobo rice seasoning was solid (albeit the texture a tad mushy). Peach mango pie was yummy. The main downside was how ridiculously long the wait was. We waited 2+ hours for our meal and the order counter was very disorganized. Lots of premade chicken sitting out and orders scattered. Otherwise their food is good.

Trying to figure out my refund was another mind blowing ordeal apparently

Absolutely awful, AVOID this place. Was excited to see it as it's been years since my last time in Makati and Manila. Ordered an Ube pie and coconut dream freeze... waited 15 minutes for the drink that was never made. Watched the employee try to figure out how to make it, get on her phone, go in the back for a while, go back on the phone, made one (?) then dumped it out and proceeded to repeat. I went up to the cashier at least 4 times, asked him for my money back as we expected a quick in and out here ( it is a fast food place after all). I do understand they had opened 5 minutes earlier so they were getting things up and running, but let me know that upon ordering and don't tell me it'll be 2 minutes.... We had to get to Wrigley and finally demanded and was given our money back. Ube pie was fried crap; couldn't finish one bite. No drink. Yuck.

First time having Jollibee and I have to say it most definitely lives up to the hype. I got the 3 piece meal with a side of fries, and a biscuit. Also got their pineapple refresher, 10/10 on the drink. The chicken was nice and fresh, juicy and packed with flavor. Only reason I'm not going themba 5 star is because they ran out of change to give back with was a bummer back no biggie their drink machine was iceless so it made the drinks hot.

Aloha Chicken !!!! Very interesting combination of fried chicken , pineapple not grilled to perfection :( , bacon , lettuce and some Aloha sauce that was so so , got the combo w fries and a soda . My associate went pig wild and ordered Chicken and rice , this crazy spaghetti dish w hot dogs and all meals came w fries .

The cashier was polite and hospitable but they had me waiting 20 minutes on a burger, at 20 minutes they haven't even started so I got a refund. Wasted most of my break.

2pc Chickenjoy w/ Palabok Fiesta
Veronica L.

This is far from fast food, as our meal took a while to get to us! We went on a Sunday at 5pm and the place was 1/3 full. Jollibee ran out of their buzzers for some people, so they had to call out orders. The table was quite dirty, but thankfully an employee wiped them down shortly after. After 20 min of waiting and a large group order in front of us, we finally got our 2 pc Chickenjoy w/ Palabok Fiesta. The chicken was the better part of the meal, where the pieces paired well with their gravy. The palabok, however, tasted quite muted, but it's from a fast food chain so it makes sense. The worst part of my experience was that I saw an employee refill the ice and touch them with their bare hands, after wiping down tables! Quite unsanitary. Between the service and cleanliness, I won't be returning.

Spicy Deluxe
Mark T.

I've decided to be nice. A fast-food restaurant forgetting an ingredient is not an unforgivable act. Also, the bar for fast-food is lower than that of fast-casual (looking at you, Lucy's). After reading some horror stories in others' reviews, I was ready to have good food, but potentially abysmal service. In my experience, both the service and the food were fine, neither is anything to write home about. I stopped in at 11am to beat the lunch rush. I ordered a Spicy Deluxe, and it came out 5 minutes later (I checked). No issues with the service, not black tie, but perfectly fine for fast food. The sandwich was also acceptable for a place like this. The chicken seemed to have spent some quality time hanging out under a lamp, though that is to be expected. What *was* a pleasant surprise is the piece of chicken was notably large, and had a terrific crisp crust. On the flip side, I did find it a bit dry despite the veggies. Also, those jalapenos would have been instrumental in adding some heat, as a sriracha-based mayo is not enough to tingle my tastebuds. Final note: I did like the bread - brioche? Thus, we have a fast-food chicken shop which I (controversially?) prefer to Chick-Fil-A. Compared to McD's, it depends on how well run is the McD's! While there are better fried chicken spots within a couple blocks, Jollibee works in a pinch. Now, can we please add some wings to our Bee friend? They seem to be hidden most of the time!

Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Jason S.

I've been wanting to try Jollibee for years, and I finally decided to order it for dinner when I saw it on DoorDash. I got the 2-piece chicken meal with a side of spaghetti, the peach mango pie, and a spicy chicken sandwich. First, the chicken was phenomenal--probably the best bone-in chicken I've ever had from a fast-food spot. While I'm usually more of a boneless kind of guy and one of my pieces didn't have much meat, the leg piece was perfect. The gravy it came with was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the chicken. I might try the tenders next time, but the bone-in chicken is hard to beat! The spaghetti was a must-try for me because I've heard so much about it. It's definitely unconventional for fast food, but it was surprisingly good--I loved it! The unique sweet-savory flavor totally worked for me. The spicy chicken sandwich was solid--no complaints there. But the peach mango pie? That was incredible! Hands down better than McDonald's apple pie by a mile. Overall, I'd get Jollibee anytime I'm in the area. For fast food, the quality exceeded my expectations. I didn't dine in, so I can't comment on the service or atmosphere or some of the other lower reviews but the food and delivery were perfect. For what it is, Jollibee deserves a solid 5 stars!

Chicago R.

Horrible service . Expect a 30 minute wait even without a line. Food has been sitting there waiting for someone to just hand it to me. This location needs better management

6pc Chickenjoy Bucket, Jolly Spaghetti, Gravy
Lisa N.

I felt a greed overwhelm me this time. I always have a fantastic time eating Jollibee but this time was different, a bit sinister. The greed told me to destroy Jollibee so that I could be the last person to ever taste the beauty of Jollibee. Minutes of eating Jollibee felt like seconds. After I finished my meal, I went to the bathroom and then tripped on the bathroom door coming out. When I tripped, a worker held the door for me and helped me up. An Angel. That brought me back to my senses. Thank you. The wait will always be long once you come here. That's what you get when you're dating someone so popular I mean eating somewhere popular. It is something I will always be willing to bear for you Jollyboyfriend.

Garlic bread was not crunchy, crispy, very little garlic, Burger seemed not fully cooked. Bowls were not that great either. 5 of us spent $100 but it was bad. We have been to one in Oakbrook multiple times and food is very good. I personally have not been to one near millennium park but heard thats good too. But this was bad.

The restaurant is small, almost like a tiny barn, with a walk-through kitchen where I can see the food being made while the smell of fried chicken fills the air. It has that casual, no-frills feel where the food does all the talking. The staff were super nice and welcoming, too. I ordered the Hot Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich, and oh my god... this thing was a sweet and spicy mess in the best way possible. The chicken was tender and juicy inside, with a crispy fried coating giving it a satisfying crunch. The hot honey was what really brought everything together. It had a sweet, sticky flavor up front, followed by a gentle heat that kicked in a moment later. It wasn't overwhelmingly spicy, but it definitely had enough of a kick to keep things interesting. There was also a creamy sauce that balanced the heat and adding another layer of flavor. Every bite had something going on, the flavors played off each other so well and nothing felt out of place. It was messy, sticky, and absolutely worth it.

It's a small spot, and it was busy when I went. The staff were super nice and welcoming, too. But man, the food is what really got me. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich House Style, which came with cucumber coleslaw, dill pickles, and chipotle buttermilk ranch. And instead of regular bread, I got it on a biscuit, which honestly took the whole thing to another level. The biscuit was soft, crumbly, with that buttery flavor that paired so well with the fried chicken. Calling this just a sandwich almost feels wrong because the whole thing was an absolute mess in the best possible way. The chicken was the star, it was crunchy, red golden and incredibly juicy. The Nashville hot sauce brought a spicy kick that hit right away and lingered, while the dill pickles added a sharp, tangy bite. The cucumber coleslaw brought a cool, refreshing crunch, and the chipotle buttermilk ranch added a creamy, smoky flavor that helped bring everything together. I even added some honey making the sandwich even better. The sweetness softened the heat just enough, creating this sweet-and-spicy combination that made every bite more exciting. There was so much happening, sauce everywhere, toppings sliding around, and absolutely worth the mess. Roost absolutely delivered. I came for a chicken sandwich, but that biscuit made it something else entirely.

Typically most restaurants "close at 9PM" means, they stop taking orders at 9PM. In lieu of we need to close the kitchen at 8:30PM to be out the business doors by 9PM.
