I learned something important from my first walk in visit to this Jollibee's when I had time to ask a few questions to the not overly busy cashier. I wanted a 2- piece combo deal made from a breast and wing, regular spice. I found out immediately that those chicken parts were never on the menu, but the only choices were legs and thighs. The white meat was only available for sandwiches. That was disappointing. So I defaulted to a Chicken Deluxe Sandwich Combo (lettuce, tomato, fries, soft drink & Mango Peach Pie), on what appeared to be something like a Martin Potato Roll. It was a solid clucker sammy; good size fillet, semi crisp coating, simple mayo-based house sauce - but not comparable to the much larger, crisper Popeye's version; not to mention that the Pop-I store also sold all pieces of chicken separately and in combination. I didn't have to compromise. The fries are thinner than most fast food shops , but had good crunch and saltiness. The tropical juice collection is unique and the most distinct and flavorful part of the Jollibee's menu. I can't speak to their noodle offerings as I haven't tried them yet. I enjoyed the Mango Peach Pie (deep fried wrap), and their freebee special that I lucked into. Sweet and crisp like a dessert egg roll. This shop appears to be a favorite of the local Pinoy community which adds a nice cultural touch to the ambiance here. 3.5 Southeast Asian Stars. Offer breasts and wings to make it a 5 Star afternoon. read more

I wanted to support this business so bad, but my experience today there was truly unacceptable. We waited almost 2 hours for our food just for the cashier "Isabella" to say "Sometimes the iPad kicks your order off" and when I would ask if my order was ready, random workers would say my order is being made without even checking for my ticket. I was one of many in that crowd facing the same problem. Their team showed no type of empathy and moved with no sense of urgency and I didn't even get an apology. I asked for a refund and went straight next door to Popeyes. Get it together Jollibee. read more

Listen. We ordered a spicy, and it it was amazing. The seasoning was through and through. I would have loved more crunch. But, I guess the rumors are true. They have the best fried chicken. KFC and Popeyes does not taste this good, comparedto this. read more

We came here to pick up a bucket of chicken and try some of their pies. It's a busy place. We were in line for about a dozen customers to order, then waited a while to get food. Many people like their food. This was 1st time in this location. I would come back again if I am hungry for their chicken, but I will try avoid going there during dinner time. Overall, a clean store. I recommend this place if you want fried chicken that's different from Popeyes or KFC. read more

Wish the location would be a little cleaner and neater. Food came out great and just as expected. We got here a little bit before the lunch rush, so glad that we didn't have to wait as long as some other customers do. read more

Jollibees is a delicious fried chicken spot. My favorite to go for fried chicken! The chicken is always flavorful and juicy. I usually get the spicy chicken. Pairs great with the gravy they give you. Everything is seasoned perfectly. Establishment itself is always clean and sunny inside. Unfortunate that it is located on the side of route with a small parking lot-can get packed sometimes. Overall really great and enjoy coming here regularly. read more

Ive been to this location before the first year it opened and even vlogged it before it opened because I was so excited. So today I went because I wanted to try the katseye meal. The place was well kept and not busy. I see the poster and cardboard cutout of katseye as part of decor. I ask cashier if the katseye meal is available and she doesn't seem to be familiar with it, i then point point out poster (to be fair poster pointing opposite). She then says she is new to job, she then asks coworker about it and she seems to know it and I also realize katseye promotion is also on their menu board. I requested fries as a side item. The order is take out and only after leaving I realize they gave me 2 biscuits instead. I do not recommend biscuits, chicken ok, juicy and nice Korean bbq taste.

Jollibee - Even being hungry did not improve taste of biscuit. Katseye chicken was ok - Fast Food Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

This is my 3rd time dining at Jollibee... the 1st time was while visiting Manilla, and the 2nd at American dream. The American dream one was not great, so I had never felt like returning as I assumed that the US version would be very different to Phillipines. However I figured I should give it another shot since the mall food is usually underwhelming, so maybe American dream wasnt a fair representation. I found the chicken here to be decent, but soggy, which basically killed it for me. Comparing to Popeyes, the chicken here is a bit cheaper, and comes with a generous amount of gravy. However the issue is with the packaging... it doesnt let the steam escape. By the time I got home (around 20-30min later), the chicken was really soggy. Maybe its better to eat in the store. read more

Not my favorite Jollibee but I like that they are expanding and building more locations. The staff was very nice, especially the young lady who prepared my order. I also liked that the tables were cleared and cleaned expeditiously. Customer service was way better here than my favorite location in Jersey City. However, now onto the not-so-good parts, the place was smaller and more crammed together. The food was just ok. The chicken wasn't as crispy and crunchy as I'd like. And lastly, which really isn't THAT important, there was no huggable Jollibee on site. read more

I don't eat fried chicken too often but this place is definitely a great spot to eat FRESH fried chicken that doesn't just taste like Lawrys Season salt. This is super crunchy. They serve only dark meat (thighs and legs) It comes in regular or spicy and I loved the flavor with the spicy pieces. The sides are good! I got mash and gravy, which the gravy also doubles as a dipping sauce for the chicken. We did drive-thru so they seem nice. Next time I will try their famous spaghetti ***Do not forget to get the Mango or Peach pie for dessert*** read more

Jollibee - Chicken Joy with Mash Mashed Potatoes - Fast Food Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Eating here brought back memories when I ate this in the Philippines 20 years ago. Much more bigger portions now. Super busy location. They do need more love and attention to the place. It was messy but understandable since it was real busy. Heads up...... The spaghetti is sweet and palabok is garlicky. I love it but not many people do. Thanks for bringing back memories. I do wish they had the Jollibee statue. That would've made the whole thing complete. read more

AS GOOD AS ANY LOCATION OUT THERE ---- meaning that the Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti and Peach Mango pie is as good as advertised here as it is anywhere I've ever had it. I was introduced to Jollibee, by my myriad of Filipino friends, when the popular fast food chain opened their very first U.S. East Coast location in Queens, NY in 2009, and, quite frankly, my life has not been the same since! The Chickenjoy is still some of the best fried chicken I've ever had - super crunchy, flavorful, hot and, when dipped into their gravy, oooooohhhh sooo damn good. We dropped in to eat at this Jollibee location on what we thought was going to be a relatively quiet early Thursday evening at 6pm. If you know Jollibee, then YOU KNOW, there is no such thing as a quiet time during peak dining hours any day of the week. Wherever there is a Jollibee, there will be plenty of customers (predominantly Filipino because they truly hold Jollibee near and dear to their fast food hearts). Fortunately for us, we happened to have strolled in just before the kitchen really kicked into high gear as we were the lone diners inside for a whole 3-4 minutes before, I guess, the Jollibee loving world became hungry. At this location, we had ourselves a feast comprised of a 6 piece bucket of Chickenjoy, Jolly Spaghetti, a Bacon and Cheese Chicken Sandwich, Mashed Potatoes, a Peach Mango Pie and a few Pineapple Quenchers. I can pretty much easily sum up all of it in one word -- SUPERB. The only thing I had never tried before was the sandwich and it was good. Great? Not on Popeyes level, but solid. The true star of the show was obviously the Chickenjoy and gravy. And don't forget to grab the refreshing Pineapple Quencher to wash it all down. As for this location, I found it to be on par with the standalone locations I've been to - definitely bigger than the one in Queens, NY. The interior was what i was for a fast food restaurant. It's not going to be Michelin star clean, but it was relatively clean compared to other fast food joints. Undoubtedly, there is a TON of hype behind Jollibee because of the lack of locations here stateside, so it's a lot to live up to for most. There isn't a location every few miles like McDonald's. For me, personally, this is some of the very, very, very BEST fried chicken I've ever had. Popeyes will always be my very fave, but Jollibee is right up there in my book. read more

Years (and the era of COVID lockdowns) have passed since my original review of this location and I am happy to report that since that time dine-in service was opened up and the crowds are no longer backing up to the point where cars are spilling onto the 1-9. Nowadays it is not hard to just pull up, park in the lot and head into the restaurant. The interior has a huge section devoted to the cooking facilities and counter. Towards the back are the bathrooms (but one was not working the day I visited recently). The rest of the space is dedicated to seating which includes two long tables with stool seating and a series of booths. Between my last review and this one the entire Jollibee chain in the United States has had issues with their supply of their spicy chicken flavor. The location near Port Authority regularly sells out before the evening rush hour (much to my chagrin) and apparently this location can also run out around the same time. During my most recent visit I ordered this flavor and seeing an entire tray of it behind the counter I thought I was good to go - until the cashier informed me that the *entire* tray was for a mobile order and that was the *last* of the spicy chicken for the day! It was about 6:30PM at this point so this was extremely disappointing. Now, this was not my proudest moment but up to that point I had a rather stressful day and I was hoping to get some spicy chicken as a bit of a reward for making it through the day. When the cashier told me this I rolled my eyes and let out a big sigh. It was rather dramatic and completely unnecessary on my part. So much to my surprise, when I got my order the cashier told me (with a *smile*) that she had snuck me spicy chicken into my order! I was so shocked I smiled and thanked her. This was very cool of her and I am deeply appreciative. The food at Jollibee is consistently good and I have to give them high marks for service. If you want some seriously good fried chicken (aka Chickenjoy), be sure to visit! read more

I was around the area so I had to stop by. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. I wish they would come to Bergen county.

If only the dining area is a bit cleaner. Does the tables only get wiped during closing?

#1 in the world! It's really nice to have that little extra side of gravy to roll that crispy drumstick in the gravy. To be completely honest.... this is probably the best fried chicken I've had in twenty years read more

Jollibee - Happiness - Fast Food Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I've waited for the drive through line to die down before stopping by to order my bucket of joy chicken, spaghetti, chicken sandwich, and mango peach pie. Why 2 stars only? The chicken is mediocre at best. Thank goodness for the gravy to give it some flavor. There was no crunch to these dark meat chicken. I'm so disappointed that they don't have breast and wings. I can see why there's a love and hate opinion on their spaghetti. I'm not quite a fan with the sweet spaghetti and chopped hotdog meat but I do know some others who may like it. The chicken is okay. Overall, I must say Popeyes is still better in chicken and chicken sandwiches. Now, I would say their mango peach pie is the best I've tasted. It was served nicely hot and crispy on the outside and flavorful on eat bite! I may have to come back just to order a few of these alone. read more

The Fam spent the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge MD, on the way back , we had the urge for Jollibees, so I goggled and was one at Edison, we didn't know that, and was 25 min away in the N95, so I placed my order online , when I arrived , the staff did their best to have things ready for me to grab and go, thought was a busy day on Veteran Day. Lots of orders , the food was freshly made , crispy chicken tasty burgers and delicious pies. Its spot for take out , can dine in but limited space. Clean wit fast workers. Thank you JJollibees read more

This location is currently only offering Pick Up and Drive-Thru orders. We weren't aware and the staff said we can order online for pickup and be allow to sit in the dining room. *never been to Jollibee as never had the chance* Plenty of parking. Dining room was empty as normally they don't allow inside dining because they are not taking indoor orders. No napkins in the dispenser of dining room since there isn't suppose to be dining inside. Be sure to ask for extra napkins. Bathrooms were decent but I wish there was paper towels. It is hand air dryer but I didn't want to touch the door knob before touching the food. We order a 6pc bucket chicken original (they gave us all spicy), large fries, with 2 drinks and a small order of spaghetti. There was a soda fountain in the dining area but doesn't seem to work as they handed us our drinks filled from their kitchen soda fountain to discourage multiple refills and mess. There was an option for extra gravy but the gravy that comes with the chicken is more than enough. Special tip: dip your fries in gravy is delicious! We thought the bucket was mixed and was okay if mixed even though we order original but it was all spicy. We had to get it changed after our friend took 1 spicy. We told them and they gave us a new bucket of 5 pc original chicken and threw out that spicy bucket since we opened it already. My husband can't handle spicy. Large fries was good but seems small, makes you wonder what their small size look like. Wish they gave us plates or something For the chicken because it was messy. We cleaned up the table before and afterward of all the chicken skin crumbs. It was difficult to eat the freshly fried hot chicken without a plate and especially ladling gravy over it. Very delicious! Spaghetti was sweet and unexpected. Love the fries! read more

Came here on a Monday evening for dinner and there was only one other group sitting and eating when we got there. The space is what you'd expect most fast food to look like and didn't feel super dirty, but not super clean either. The service was pretty friendly at explaining what the different types of pasta dishes were and were really nice overall, but when I asked for a cup for water, they charged me for a soda. I thought that was weird and also kind of a rip off, but I wasn't really willing to correct him. The food came out pretty quickly and the presentation is honestly one of the better ones I've seen for fast food. We got the combo that comes with chicken, spaghetti, and 3 pastries. Plenty of food for two people and we had a lot of spaghetti left over for the next day as well as one pastry. The chicken was honestly some of the best I've had out of other places that specialize in fried chicken. It was well cooked with its crispness but tender meat. I personally didn't need the gravy with the chicken as I thought it was fine to stand on its own, but it was nice to have as an option. The spaghetti was sweeter than other Filipino spaghetti I've had, but it slowly began to grow on me. This is also the first time I've had it at a restaurant so it was bound to be a more exaggerated version of the dish. The meat I found wasn't super plentiful in the dish, but overall it was still very good. The pastries were pretty delicious - we preferred the mango peach one byfar, but both were tasty and deliciously crispy. Overall, I enjoyed this experience as my first time coming to Jollibee, but the interaction while I was ordering was the only thing off-putting. Thanks regardless, I definitely wouldn't mind coming again! read more

I honestly don't understand how packed this place was. The chicken literally tasted like dirty oil. We got two tiny cups of BBQ sauce that cost $1.90, and there was no salt for the fries -- which were hard and dry. The soda was flat! I just don't get it. People were tearing that food up, but it was honestly the worst chicken of my life, no lie! read more

Ordered 10 piece original fried chicken only, which cost $25.00 with tax. I asked if I could have six thighs and 4 drumsticks. I was very happy that it was no problem. I was very disappointed that the size of the thighs were super small, but the drumsticks very large. It was 10:30 in the morning thinking earlier means fresher chicken. Again, disappointed the thighs were so small and dry for that time in the morning. If you like drumsticks, then this is the place for you. Price was not worth it for me because of the small portions of thighs. read more

First timer . I always pass by this place and never went through, looking at the longggg queues. Made up my mind and went today :). As always , there is a long wait time . I had to be in line for atleast 10-12 mins . Got a 6 piece chicken bucket. I have to say , the food was good, especially the magic sauce . If not for the sauce , it just tastes like a Popeyes or kfc. With the sauce , it tastes different and good. Paid about 14$ for a 6 piece. So it's not that cheap .. food wise it was good, but is it worth waiting 15-30 mins in the queue to eat this - may be not ! Wish they can speed up their service and it will then be a super duper place ! read more

So I finally went to see what all the hype was about . Not really impressed. The spaghetti was basic sauce with hot dogs, a little bit too sweet for my taste. The adobo rice was meh, nothing to rave about and why do they add pork to a lot of their dishes . The fried chicken was nothing to rave about. The best was the peach pie and pineapple juice which reminds me of Simply Pineapple . Not going back to wait for over 30 minutes. read more

For folks that don't know, Jollibee is a Filipino fast food chain. It's good to support Filipino businesses so if you feel like Switching up your fast food place, head to Jollibee. No, as a vegetarian, my options are definitely limited. I only pop in here to get the peach mango pie. It is better than an apple pie for McDonald's as Michele L. mentioned. But my friends have really enjoyed their chicken sandwiches and chicken. The best time to go here is right when they open or mid afternoon. I never had any lines when I went during those times. It can get packed and busy so I could understand people losing their minds, but just be patient and after you eat the peach mangle pie, you'll feel a lot better! read more

Awful service. Waited 40 minutes for my food, then finally asked the counter person. She talked to the cashier, and didn't apologize but started assembling the tray. Had to wait another 15 minutes for chicken tenders. During that time, I watched the manager collect a delivery from Domino's and bring it to the back ( I guess the food here is that bad they have to order out) & employees giving free food to their friends. Drive thru was down. Soda machine was not working. Soda from back of counter was flat. DO NOT GO HERE. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. read more

I came here with high hopes to get some great chicken however, I feel like it was very mediocre and undercooked. I was not used to this type of cuisine as the strawberry freeze. I ordered was absolutely disgusting. I can say I didn't go in here with an open mind, but I at least expected some sort of higher standard to my taste buds. I may come here again just to try the other options. I saw they had a burger on the menu so I may try that instead, but as for the chicken, it's a no go for me. read more
