In the past, I never understood the Jollibee hype. Being a Filipina, I know that's unusual... But, I do appreciate it much more as of late. It's been YEARS since I've visited a Jollibee, and it seems both the individual locations and the brand as a whole have made a lot of upgrades and changes for the better! The kiosk ordering system is a nice convenience, and (specific to the Houston restaurant) the establishment has been renovated for a more modern & minimalist look. Also worth mentioning: The restaurant was clean, and the crew was organized and efficient. Go, H-Town! Now, the food: I don't dislike the spaghetti, but it's still not my cup of tea... I still can't wrap my head or my tastebuds around the sweet & sugary sauce, and the addition of fatty hot dogs just don't do it for me. The adobo rice is overrated, in my option... a lot of garlic and salt, but missing the essence of adobo. I'll also pass on the biscuit next time (dry and didn't have much going on). However, I totally get why the fried chicken has become so viral! Super crispy, but not greasy. Great flavor & seasoning without being obnoxiously salty (think Popeye's cousin who went to college). And, thanks to TikTok, I enjoyed a chicken skin taco (skin stuffed with rice and drown it in brown gravy). Yummmmm! ChickenJoy is definitely where it's at. read more

Wish there was more Jollibee's around Houston but when there's ever the chance it in the area of one, I just have to stop by and grab a bucket. Bucket of chicken, white rice, gravy - I am satisfied. Crispy, hot, fresh. Spicy is better than regular. Dip that chicken in the gravy ... soo good! Now Service - it's a fast food joint, don't expect much. Ambiance - while the restaurant is clean, we ran into a situation where there was someone (who definitely wasn't a customer) who kept asking patrons for food/money. There was nothing the employees could do, they said. 5* for food. Ding two stars for ambiance unfortunately. read more

This location does not pick up their phone. I accidentally placed an order at the wrong store and tried calling right away to cancel. Called over three times with no answer. I ended up calling the location I actually meant to order from, and when they called on my behalf, this store suddenly picked up and said they would cancel it. Even after that, I still got texts saying my order was in progress, and it ended up being marked as completed anyway. Super frustrating experience. read more

If you have never tried Jollibees, you are missing out! Their locations are few and far between so the only time I ever get to have them is when I travel and thankfully, Houston had a spot. This place is HOPPING especially after a football game gets out from NRG Stadium. It is within walking distance which makes it convent for those who are still hungry after the game. Expect long wait times, but I always find it worth it especially for the chicken, I invited my cousins along who had never tried Jollibee and they loved it, especially their mashed potatoes and gravy. I had the chicken sandwich, fries and of course their peach/mango pie. If you haver never had one, get one. I don't wan to spoil the experience you will have after biting into one. Try one and then tell me about it on Yelp! read more

It had been years since I'd had Jollibee, but I was excited to try it again. I had recently seen they had KBBQ fried chicken options that looked appetizing The line stretched (overflowed) outside of the to-go boundaries and that was because it was fairly busy, but also because the design for their to-go area wasn't overly thought out It was initially difficult to hear anyone in the other end of the speaker. They person at the window was not very pleasant an would ignore me at times The food is good. It's always been good. It's not good for you with loads of fried and starchy options, but it's tasty. The KBBQ chicken is no exception. It's not the best I've ever had, but I was impressed by the glaze, the crunch, the flavor, and the overall appearance of it. The quality of the food wasn't the issue... The way the to-go comes out looks all tidy and together in multiple containers. We should have pulled off and checked the contents, but we were missing several items/they had messed up a few separate parts of our order, charged us for them, the were missing multiplied items and we didn't realize until we got it home I've had good experiences with Jollibee and even this location, so, maybe this was a one-off, but it left a bad taste in my mouth and I won't be coming back any time soon Some tips: While I did to-go, you can also dine in and have your meal. Also, the KBBQ chicken is a collab with girl-group KATSEYE, and if you haven't heard their music it's pretty catchy Cheers!! read more

Jollibee: 5 Stars! Wow, Jollibee really impressed me, 5 out of 5 stars from someone who usually sticks to burger joints! For a fast food place, it exceeded my expectations big time. As soon as I stepped inside, I was struck by how bright, clean and nice it was. It's so much better than the usual fast food experience, it's a place to enjoy a meal not just grab and go. Then came the fries - served in cute little individual bags. I mean, who does that? It's such a small detail but it made the experience feel a bit more special than just a cardboard box. Nice touch! As someone who usually goes to burger joints, I wasn't sure what to expect from Jollibee's main offerings but the real showstopper for me was the Dragonfruit Sunset Quencher. This drink was amazing - vibrant, refreshing and full of flavor. It's one of the best drinks I've had at a fast food place, period. I savored every sip. My only regret and it's a big one is that there's no Jollibee in Minnesota. I found myself wishing I could just pop in for that quencher (and maybe try more of their menu) on a regular basis. It's such a shame this place hasn't come to my state yet! Jollibee isn't just another fast food place, it's vibrant, unique and surprisingly delightful. If you have the chance, go to Jollibee. Just be prepared to wish it was closer to home! read more

I love love love their fried chicken. The taste and crispiness is always consistent. I don't live close to this location but it's always worth the drive to pick up some fried chicken. Pairing their chicken with their adobo rice and gravy is the best combo! Filipino spaghetti is slightly different because it's more sweet and it has Chinese sausage and hot dogs. It's definitely picky - kid friendly though. I have ordered to go and also eaten in the restaurant and never had issues with either. Can't wait to come back for more!! read more

First time at Jollibee in Houston. I was surprised that you have a new variety of burgers and Korean chicken BBQ. I still fell in love with the original Yum Burgers, original chicken, and adobo rice. I love Ube pie dessert, not too sweet. Staff are helpful. It was busy on that y I E because it's lunch time. I like the design of the inside. Great ambiance read more

I had Jollibee fried chicken and spaghetti on the mind for a while, but kept putting off the long drive just for a quick meal- but the commute is so worth it. Food quality has always been consistent and delicious, but the menu variety varies between different Jollibee restaurants. This location does have Yumburgers (delicious and super nostalgic) and Ube Pies (!!!) on the menu, but no Jolly Hotdogs. Highly recommend the fried chicken paired with rice + gravy or spaghetti; pancit palabok; and both pies (Peach-Mango and Ube). If you're a first timer, know that Filipino spaghetti is meant to be on the sweeter side and tastes very different from classic spaghetti. The sweet and savory combo when you pair it with fried chicken is unparalleled. Service was friendly and efficient; location is spacious and clean. Parking lot is good since it shares a shopping strip with several other restaurants and businesses. There is a solicitor that comes in every now and again but that's not Jollibee's fault, just something to keep in mind if you plan on dining in. I wish there were more locations spread a little more evenly across Houston especially northside, but for now, I'll happily make the long trip down for my jolli-fix. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 read more

I tried out Jollibee's collab with Katseye by getting their special kbbq chicken sandwich. They dip their chicken breast fillet in a sweet soy glaze that is supposed to have a bold kick of heat. It's topped with cilantro, red onion, and cucumber slices. The chicken itself was actually pretty juicy, but if you want a crispy chicken then this isn't the one for you. The sauce makes it more softer. The flavor itself was really good! Good but not overpowering soy flavor and also a small kick of heat, could probably use more. The veggies inside lowkey remind me of banh mi toppings? But they go together really well and I actually enjoyed this. read more

Best Filipino fast food restaurant ever! It's not because I'm biased either. If you don't like Jollibee, then you haven't tried their best menu items and you haven't visited with an actual Filipino that will tell you what to get. Always get the fried chicken bucket combo, either spicy or regular, you can't go wrong. It comes with two sides of white rice which you will definitely want for the gravy. You have to dip the chicken in the gravy! The spaghetti is a hit with the kiddos all the time and my husband loves the palabok. I love when the halo halo is in season. I wish they had it all the time. The ube pie and mango pie are good too. read more

Jollibee will never not hit. I crave it so often it's actually insaneeee. I be dreaming about that chicken skin and gravy. The food is always served fresh and hot. I tried the patties for the first time, and they are soft and flavorful. Very comforting dish. Chicken was crispy of course. Fried to perfection every single time. The spaghetti is a classic - it's sweet. The adobo rice hassss to be eaten with the chicken skin and gravy. It's an essential combo. Great service, comfortable seating, and very spacious. read more

This place has gone downhill since I first came here last year. I picked up an order the other day, 3 piece kbbq with mashed potatoes and biscuits. Chicken was soggy and taste was off but I guess that's not their fault, I wouldn't ever try that again. The mashed potatoes was clumpy dry and tasted like paper, with very little gravy to take away from it. Biscuits were tacky and hard. The service is also super odd with the person at drive through also wanting to rush you out and close the window immediately after they hand it to you. No warm welcome. Youd have to see it to understand. Oftentimes I'll have to awkwardly wait to get their attention after they closed the window so quick for condiments or utensils. Update: Their crap "I don't care" service seems to extend to their customer service rep responding to reviews. See below read more

Jollibee - Basic idgaf copy paste response from their customer service team. What a joke - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

First time trying this place. It's located in a shopping center near my physical therapy clinic. Parking was plentiful even though the restaurant seemed to be receiving a steady flow of customers. A friend from the UK sang this chain's praises over there so I got interested. My mother likes fried chicken and I was eager to try the infamous "sweet spaghetti". We ordered a little of everything. The chicken was juicy. The spaghetti was gone in an instant. (I wasn't even able to get a photo before the family inhaled it!) The adobo rice was a bit underwhelming. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I ended up pouring my leftover gravy over it and that helped. For me, the best part of the selection was the palabok fiesta noodles. It had a strong garlic flavor I enjoyed with a hint of seafood flavor (from dried shrimp?) The meal came with a dessert. The style of it reminded me of the type of hand-pies from certain burger chains. I went ahead and heated it up for a few seconds to get the filling warm. I'm glad I did because it turned the pie into a drippy delight! I washed it all down with a guava quencher. It tasted like a fresh-squeezed lemonade mixed with real guava juice. I don't know if that's true but I appreciated the flavor anyway. I would return for their noodle dishes, even making the extended drive to do so. Wish there was one closer to my home. read more

My first time trying jollibee while in Houston to see what the hype was all about. I ordered the two piece and 2 side items. I chose mashed potatoes and the adobe rice. The chicken was just "ok". The rice had off putting smell but tasted ok. The mashed potatoes was above standard. The gravy was ok, tasted like the gravy from a jar. Overall it was ok but nothing special. I like church's chicken better. $15 meal without drink. read more

Grew up eating and enjoying jollibee and every-time i have the chance I indulge myself. The food was on point don't get me wrong. But there where to many staff chit chatting, the restaurant was a mess, greasy and messy floor, bathroom was on bad order, tables was all dirty and not kept, bins were all full, the worst was, there was a homeless guy in one of the couches napping. read more

All hype and complete disappointment, Seriously if you're wanting just plain spicy chicken without flavor. This is the spot. To be honest try Pollo Campero by Washington road, you'll love it. It's a 9/10 Jollibee was a 4/10 for me, crispy and juicy chicken. Just no flavor except spicy. read more

What a freaking weird place. I was in the area and looking for a quick place to grab some lunch. I remembered seeing something about Jollibee, but couldn't remember anything else. The sign said fried chicken, burgers, spaghetti... None of which in my opinion could really be bad on any level. The menu was strange... Combos with both chicken and spaghetti? I was intrigued, so I took a chance and ordered, my drink that I ordered was unsweet tea. The gal behind the counter handed me a cup and I went around the corner looking for the ever present tea urn. No urns in sight. I look at the selection of fountain drinks hoping I was not going to see a premixed tea option, but there it was. Unsweet was not an option, so I settled on raspberry tea . I mean, come on, we are in Texas where they practically shoot tea out of the water fountains. I had missed a clue, not even the first I am embarrassed to say. I got my tea and turned around to find a seat, it was then I noticed there was a dining room full of Asian people. I had also somehow missed the fact that every employee was also Asian, shame on my observation skills. There was one other old white lady who was having someone take her picture with the life-size Jollibee mascot, a red bee wearing a chef's hat and bow tie. So her opinion did not count. I was getting nervous. I don't know what I was expecting, but I got fried chicken and spaghetti. Thank all that is holy that they were two individual items, I don't know what I would have done if the chicken had been sitting on top of the spaghetti. The chicken wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. It was lacking in flavor and despite the lunch hour, tasted old to me. No salt to be found. I kinda pushed the chicken aside and found myself willing to taste the spaghetti, even though every part of my skeptical self was laughing at my naivete. There was something on top of the spaghetti, I think it's cheese. I still don't really know. The spaghetti is definitely interesting. Probably the most sweet sauce I have ever had on spaghetti. I hadn't planned on eating any more of the chicken so I was determined to eat the spaghetti. This combo BTW was $14.50, so damn Skippy I was going to eat the spaghetti. I was at least 3 bites in before I realized the spaghetti had sliced hot dogs in it. Five slices to be exact. I was eating overpriced spaghetti-ohs ! WTF was going on here? I can't tell you, because I am clearly without answers myself. Despite the cost, I was done. I had eaten enough to know that I will never be back, nor will I ever be so blind to my surroundings again. Here's the question though. What will my rating be? It's not this place's fault that I didn't do my homework. tables around me are packed, and more incredulously, digging into the spaghetti as if it were a Sunday afternoon at an Italian Nonna's house after Mass. People are eating drumsticks in one hand and shoveling in spaghetti-ohs with the other. I looked out the window expecting to see it raining cats and dogs, and it wasn't, so I took another look around and this time I did see someone eating an incredible looking fried pie, but I am resolute in my decision to not order from here ever again. There is an obvious following for this place, so I am going middle of the line here with 3 stars read more

Friendly service. Had 3 piece fries and peach pie. Chicken tender and juicy but not really it for me. Maybe the seasoning. Fries taste like cheap frozen bag. Peach pie was a taste I did not care for. Not a chicken spot for me. read more

Their spicy fried chicken is the best in town. The level of spiciness is perfect. The chicken was marinated so well. You can taste the marinade into the bone. Unfortunately the non spicy one is not as good. I haven't been here for a while and seems like they added steamed white rice to the menu. Not the best quality of rice but doesn't taste bad. Also tried their mac and cheese this time. It was better than other chicken joint (except maybe tumble 22). Peach mango pie is always good. Service is good and friendly. read more

Jollibee = jolly me! This was my 2nd time picking up Jollibee from here in the past 3 years. They aren't close enough to me which is a good thing but I was craving. Did a drive thru order on a Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was packed. Full of lolas, lolos, titas and titos all enjoying chicken joy. Picked up the 6 piece spicy chicken joy meal with adobo rice (+$1.50), mashed potatoes and 2 pineapple quencher drinks (+50 cents each). Also ordered a jolly spaghetti. Of course they include a container of their famous gravy. Also ordered a peach mango pie to try. Have heard good things. Got home and the food was still piping hot. The 6 piece combo is 3 legs and 3 thighs. The skin is so crispy. And the spicy is spicy. Not overly spiced up for me but just enough. The adobo rice was so good. Garlicky and packed full of flavor. Their mashed potatoes are nice and fluffy. I just can't help but like their spaghetti. Filipino spaghetti sauce is slightly more sweet topped with cheese and slices of hot dogs. Sounds weird but works well together. Pineapple quenchers, enough said. I love this drink. Now to the peach mango pie, after the first bite, I understood the hype. This is one of those "I am craving" items so I don't go often but if there was one close by, I'd be a regular. I think their fried chicken is one of the best. Crispy and spicy. And juicy. Def will return. read more

Honestly, I don't get it and that's ok. The chicken is just okay. The spaghetti is VERY sweet. The fries are okay. The biscuits were hard. The pineapple refresher wasn't refreshing. It's just okay and maybe I'd feel better if it weren't so expensive but it is so I don't. read more

I recently ordered delivery through Ubereats for 10 year old son and my husband who has a broken leg and exhausted from dialysis. This was my son's request as his reward for meeting some of his summer goals. I ordered a 10 piece bucket and the 6 piece hamburger steaks. The chicken was incredibly cold and tasted old and the hamburger steaks were frozen. We never have a problem until this order. My husband didn't want to make a deal out of it but I don't either but it was very disappointing. I was in hurry to hit the road to visit my mother for two days and it slipped my mind to ask them how their dinner was. Well I really never have to because you guys never disappoint I hope you guys are more considerate those whose who are homebound but still appreciate your food and support your business. read more

Had lunch with family and friends here! The place is clean and spacious, and service was good. Their fried chicken and gravy were alright, though both were a bit bland. Spaghetti wasn't as sweet as I had hoped, but the palabok was delicious. I also tried their adobo rice for the first time, and it didn't really taste like adobo. I'd recommend having plain rice as a side instead. Overall, I would recommend this branch to people who want to try Jollibee for the first time or are simply craving it! It's not as authentic, but the food is served hot + tastes good, they offer decent servings, and the experience is worth it. read more

Stopped into Jollibee a second time and it was a much better experience. They had everything on the menu so we got to try some new stuff. The service was good too. The peach mango pie was really amazing. The burger steak was good too. Everything else was as normal - delicious. The fries were even McDonald's quality. Overall, for a fast food chain, Jollibee continues to impress me with their food. This franchise location is nice, clean, pretty busy, and gets your food out quick. No complaints! read more

I'm on a two star roll which really is unfortunate cause I love good food! I was all too excited to pull up on Jollibee after visiting my dad in the hospital. The lady took my order and I'ma describe her because y'all need to keep her in the back and not dealing with customers (AA and plus size). I'm in the drive thru and I inadvertently ordered the chickenjoy 1 side and a drink for $9.49. I wanted fries but she said they didn't have any bags so I went with mashed potatoes. I then said hey I thought that came with a dessert. She said that's the meal deal. What kind of dessert do you want. I chose the peach mango pie. I then asked her how much was the palabok without the drink? She said 5.99 (spoiler alert, it's not). So I said I'll take an order of that, never had it before. I get to the window and my total seemed rather high but I paid with a male and waited to see my receipt. Why I see this chickenhead charged me for a palabok WITH drink, the meal without the pie, and $3 for the pie. Any DT worker with common sense would have switched me to the $10 meal with the pie. She told me she isn't typically on a register and got the palabok price wrong, it's really 7.49 for just the entree. I was like this doesn't make sense, you're overcharging me ringing up all this stuff separately even if it's not 5.99. She leaning all out the DT window huffing and puffing and rolling her eyes cause she presumed I didn't comprehend the idiotic reasoning she was giving me for my total. I decided not to match her energy, I said I'm just trying to tell you this doesn't make sense. She gets a female manager which figures out the chickenhead's mistakes and refunds me $3. It took her way too long to do this as a mgr but she finally got it. Now the spicy chicken was good, could have been fried harder. The pie which I had to wait even longer after that fiasco was way too damn hot even 30 minutes later. And I didn't like anything but the crust. And that palabok NO maaaaa'am get somebody else to eat it, I wasted my $7.50 cause it was nasty. Super shrimpy tasting with no shrimp in sight and just wasn't good at all. The chicken wasn't worth the drama, that's all I know! And respectfully, that pineapple juice they calling a quencher isn't worth an up-charge. Not likely to return. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday, definitely lived up to the hype! especially the pineapple quencher, it tasted just like an agua de piña. the spicy chicken sandwich was delicious, such a good fat piece of chicken. It was cooked perfectly I didn't even worry about the center being undercooked (my worst fear when eating chicken). the spaghetti also was amazing! I wish it had a bit more sauce but other than that, everything was delicious! also the mango peach pie! but it was so messy to eat!! can't wait to come back and try more stuff. read more

After 4 visits and basically receiving the same service 4 times. I have updated my review and rating. Someone mentioned they come off as mildly racist. And I always thought that but then I thought maybe I was tripping. No. I wasn't. Every time they act like they don't want to serve me. And I'm just thinking it's a bad day. And every time I get my food the order is missing one of the things I ordered. Every single time. And I'm not ordering a big order or changing my order. It's right on the ticket. I paid for it. Why is it missing. I tried to use a coupon that they gave me. The manager looked at it. Said it's for online use and walked away. I read the coupon. It said one time use. So now I'm trying to figure out how we even got here to this point because I got the coupon from the store. I asked the cashier to ask her to come back. Because she definitely walked away. And once she realized she was wrong she came to take it off. Never apologized nothing. This is ridiculous and shouldn't even happen. I'm done w them. read more

3.5 stars.. First time trying this location, it wasn't too busy when I came in on a normal Thursday evening at 8ish, but they were already out of Spicy and only had the original.. Darn. Went with the Chicken joy combo with the peach mango pie. The chicken was juicy, although not that crispy nor special to me, the gravy + the adobo rice was good. (I could definitely see myself getting addicted to that gravy if I'm not too careful). The pie crust was also very crisp and delicious, the filling was a little too sweet though. Overall, a little pricey on the fast-food scale but overall it was a decent first-time experience. would definitely want to try the Palabok or the chicken sandwich next time read more
