Jollibee - Jolly Spaghetti, Spicy Chicken, Adobo Rice, Mashed Potatoes, Peach Mango Pie - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

Sure, I'll come back to Jollibee's after my first visit and I would recommend as well. Is thier unnecessary hype about this place..... yes and ....also no. Meaning what I ordered was absolutely tasty, however, I didn't experience a mind tingling, eyes rolling back in the head, and weird groaning I have seen in videos of people tasting Jollibees for the first time. Also, to be fair, I didn't order the most popular and beloved dishes of Jollibees: the fried chicken and the weird sweet spaghetti with hot dogs. I mean, come on, I'm not eating hotdog dessert spaghetti. A lot of people do like it. I just know I will not be indulging. The fried chicken is probably good but I've made and had delicious fried chicken and I already know that I will get it when I feel like it and not be super impressed. Probably like it but not a top fave......I digress. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes with gravy, french fries, adobo rice, and a medium Pepsi. First the bad..... those cold, limp, and stale french fries were just plain gross and I definitely missed the calories. Whoever said they taste like McDonald's fries clearly doesn't respect themselves. The Pepsi tasted artificial and metallic as if it was cleansed and not rinsed. Blech! Into the trash! Now, the mashed potatoes and gravy are delish. The regular mashed potatoes needed a bit more gravy. By the way, the gravy is good thanks to it being seasoned well with salt and pepper. The adobo rice, that is seasoned well with charred bites of dark meat chicken is delightful! The best thing on the menu. Sooooo good! I could eat that once a week or once every two weeks. Oh, yeah. I also ordered a peach mango pie. The pie was amazing. It is peach forward and since I am not the biggest fan of mango, it was scrumptious to me. The rice and the mango were so delicious! So yes, I'll be back and at some point I will order the chicken. read more

Jollibee - 2pc Chickenjoy w/ Jolly Spaghetti - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

Finally found a Jollibee that tastes just like the Jollibees in the Philippines! The service is a little slow here, but the servers are nice. I got the Palabok chicken joy and a peach mango pie. Of course, had to get the pineapple refresher. The food was hot and fresh! The Palabok wasn't dry and had just the right amount of sauce. The chicken was extra crispy and juicy on the inside. The gravy will always be my favorite. Had to top it off with the mango peach pie. So flaky and crunch on the outside. Gooey and sweet on the inside. Wish I had ordered more for baon. read more

I will never understand folks who visits a non-American restaurant/ fast food and complain that it doesn't taste American ... smh. I mean, will it make sense to go to a Taco Bell and be like, "oh no - their tacos don't taste like the tacos from Mexico" ... I'm baffled and insulted. First and foremost, Jollibee is a Filipino joint, and if you're a Filipino looking for the taste of childhood and home, then THIS PLACE DELIVERS. As a Filipino who's lived in Atlanta for 20+ years where we don't have a Jollibee, this is a total treat. Service was quick, food came fresh, and most importantly, it tasted just like the Jollibee back in the Philippines. Yes - the spaghetti sauce is sweet and it's served with hotdogs. Reason being is that in the Philippines, bananas are plentiful and so, we have "banana ketchup" - which is sweet - and is the main ingredients to this pasta dish. It also has hotdogs because it's a cheap and kid-friendly protein alternative ... which most Filipinos are below the poverty line, and folks back at home had to get creative. So, yep - it is not Italian or American based sauce... it's based on the Filipino culture. And did it taste like the spaghetti we have back home? YES, INDEED. Fried chicken and gravy with white rice was also on point. The chicken may be more friendly to the American palette. Palabok was great. But it will be strange if you're not familiar with Filipino food. The pineapple juice was lovely. French fries was, well, French fries. All in all, mad love to this place. Thanks for keeping the taste and experience authentic. I had so much flashbacks to my childhood while I was eating here. Now, I gotta go to YouTube and watch your commercials lol. read more

It's very rare that I'll update my review because I usually go back 2-3 times before posting one. I feel like that's more fair versus just going once & giving them a review. This place has gone downhill over the past year. Service & quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired. Every time I order them through DoorDash or go there myself, they're always out of the spicy chicken joy. Last week when I was here, I went straight through the drive thru & there's a sign that says we are out of spicy chicken. I think it's been two months since they had any. To top it off their POS system was down so they only accepted cash. Luckily I had a little bit of cash on me. The cashier was also rude and rushy with me like I was ordering 100 dollars worth of food when I only ordered a two piece combo. When I asked for extra gravy she rolled her eyes at me, ummm I didn't want a free one, just charge me for an extra one. Another thing to add is every time I go inside, the tables are dirty & floors are sticky. When I received my order, the chicken was lukewarm & wasn't crispy at all, the only thing that was good enough was their pineapple drink. This is the worst Jollibee I've ever been to, it doesn't represent the brand at all. Will I come back? No. If you want terrible service & them never having spicy chicken then this place is for you. I'll just go to their location on Main Street from now on. read more

Don't waste your time dining in here it's extremely long wait time to even order the kitchen staff seems to be all over the place no structure or organization. I personally did not like the chicken it made me sick and it wasn't even hot it was cold. The spaghetti was terrible. Inside dining area is usually clean. I've ordered twice from here once inside and once drive through and didn't like it each time. The staff is polite but they need to focus on one task at a time and have a better system in place to ensure a more timely customer service experience. read more

The bathrooms were clean- the pancit was delicious but the chicken and biscuit were absolutely terrible. Dry and packed flavor. The spaghetti was way too sugary and gross. I would just order the pancit from here. read more

The Grub To pay homage to a food culture is to elevate it. This is not elevation. I believe a thousand soul food cooking grammas shed a tear everytime someone bites into another tasteless Jolibee leg. The concentration is on the sauce and not the flavoring od the meat. The meat is as flavorful as a newspaper and not the comics. As for the spaghetti, it is an overly sugared mess. Momma Leoni isn't pleased and is throwing her rolling pin at Jollibee execs the world over. The Hub The same restaurant in a box design that all fast food places use. They are not lovely concerned about cleaning the tables or the floors. What a mess. The Schlub(ok I ran out of ubs hahah) The cashier was ho hum. For a new restaurant and food choice, my expectation would be that they are ambassadors of their store. Not so. Kind of expects you to know how to navigate this confusing menu. I mean they serve fried chicken and spaghetti and bulgoge(sp?), help a guy out here. read more

Went here for lunch break, dine in. I ordered my food, got my drink and sat down at a table. (Wasn't that busy when I went) Waited for almost 15-20 minutes just for my order to be Forgotten and lost?? There were 4 people who ordered after me and yet got their orders before me?? I knew something was wrong so I went up to the counter and I asked about my order. They said they lost it/threw the receipt away, I showed them my receipt, so they prepared my order. They offered me a free Ube pie for the long wait/inconveniences. I changed my mind from dining in to takeout since i'm on lunch break. I was hoping they packed everything, and they forgot my GRAVY, so I had to go back and ask for my gravy. Also, I opened the chickenjoy box, and THIS IS THE SMALLEST THIGH PIECE I'VE EVER SEEN. For how long I waited, and my order was lost, gravy was almost forgotten, Chicken thigh piece was this small, this visit was very unpleasant! read more

Pros: Great tasting chicken and good portion Adobe rice was pretty good as a side Pine apple juice was great as well. Cons: Not cheap The peach-mongo pie doesn't live up to the hype Conclusion: I might come back and try again if I happen to be in the neighborhood read more

Came on a Monday afternoon. Wasn't too busy so I decided to dine indoors. The restaurant was very clean. Staff was polite. I know some people were saying they were slow, but it was nothing I complained about. They even have a sign on the door asking for patience with the staff. I also came at a "non rush" time. I can imagine the volume of customers they get. When I went it wasn't busy and it took about 7ish minutes to get my food. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and if I was in the area I would go again. 2 piece - chicken was served fresh/hot and was crispy. I wish I would have tried the spicy. Mashed potatoes (2/5) tasted like instant potatoes. Gravy made it better. Make sure to dip the chicken in the gravy. They give you a separate gravy just for dipping. Halo halo (4/5) - So good! Not super sweet. I gave it a minutes for the ice to melt and then mixed it. Would definitely get it again. Peach mango pie (4/5) - Crispy, tasted fresh, served hot, nice portion of filling. Appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. read more

Just amazing, much better than the other chicken places. Must have the mango pie it is off the chain

The service is quite inadequate. The cashier, Janice, is overwhelmed and disorganized, leading to slow service, and she doesn't have a friendly demeanor towards customers. read more

My friends and I came here for lunch Saturday. It was my second time visiting and their first. We got a bucket of spicy, a bucket of regular, peach pies, banana pies (new), mashed potatoes, fries, rice, and pineapple quenchers. The food was amazing - since it's dark meat, it's moist, juicy, and crunchy (came piping hot). The gravy makes everything better and you can douse all your food and sides in it. The quencher has a great flavor but didn't come that cold - would rather it be icy cold than lukewarm. The line went by quickly but due to lunchtime (was packed) and lack of workers (sign posted on the door outside to please have patience with them), the food took ages to come out. We weren't in a hurry and the wait just made us hungrier (which was good bc we ordered a feast) so we didn't mind too much. Can't wait to come back! read more

It was very good, would recommend the peach pie was def a favorite. We went around 12pm and services were fast, place was cleaned and quiet; However, we got lucky after we ordered a small line of about four families formed. The staff were friendly and patient when we ordered. Chicken was crispy, gravy was really good, and nice temperature for everything. It is a bit pricing so I wouldn't recommend for going every week, but definitely worth going once in a while. read more

We usually eat at the on by NRG stadium. The 1st time coming to this on. The service was good and the wait for our food didn't take long. The chicken is still better then any chicken I've had at a fast food restaurant. But the chicken here seem smaller and a little older. But it was still good. And as usual, the place is clean and very quiet. I enjoyed it. read more

Worst experience ever. When they first opened, I had no problem with them. Couple months later, I stopped by and some items are not there anymore but other locations still do. I love Jollibee but this location is ridiculous. My friend comes from out of state so wanna introduce him to Jollibee. I told him the rice with beef patty and gravy is their must try so we head to drive thru ordering the 2pc burger steak with 1 side. We got to the window, the guy didn't say hi. Took my card for payment and gave back when it's done, again, no words. We picked up our order which was surprisingly fast then we went home, opened the box, and NO RICE. So we got charged for $7.99 plus tax for 2 beef patties with a bit of gravy, 1 side of fries and nothing else.. So disappointed...I'd rather drive extra 10-15mins to the Missouri city location than come back to this one. read more

Been wanting to try this fried chicken for a long time since I last saw it in Kuala Lumpur but didn't have a chance until got back to the states and saw many good reviews about it. This morning the place is empty with only a couple customers dining in. I ordered the fried chicken and the mango pie. Chicken is crispy but bland, almost have no taste in it. The sauce that goes with it is on par and the pie is just okay. Nothing in this fast food restaurant wows me. Restaurant and restroom are clean. Surprise what the hype is about. read more

Ordered Jollibee through Doordash. Food tasted okay. BUT found pieces of plastic in the palabok and gravy..... Maybe plastic from where the food is stored in but I am unhappy with how much plastic I found and the fact I even found plastic! Something needs to be addressed!!!

Jollibee is a real treat for my family. There used to only be one location in Houston and it was super far from me. I'm so incredibly lucky to find this location here by my boyfriends house only 5 minutes away. The pineapple juice is a must!!! Get the 2 piece spicy chicken joy with spaghetti if you are pretty hungry and pay 50¢ extra to get the juice. This is some of the tastiest chicken and gravy you can get at a fast food joint. I always have to get us an extra side of spaghetti or else we won't have any left overs. The workers here are quick and efficient and this location has never missed a single thing!!! This place should be on your foodie bucket list! read more

Food was good, I think it's just not my taste. Service was good too. Ambiance is appealing and different.

This is a filipino version of fast food. They offer fried chicken, chicken fingers with sides of gravy, rice and adobo rice. They also offer hamburgers, which I am told are good. I had a noodle dish and my partner had chicken tenders. The tenders were nice and crunchy and went well with the gravy. My partner liked the chicken and gravy. My dish was a fast food version of a well liked noodle dish. For me, it tasted too much like fast food noodles and wasn't as successful as the chicken. The drinks were the usual sodas with a pineapple thirst quencher which was refreshing. The dining room was kept neat and clean, they regularly bus the tables, but most patrons politely clean up their trash. I would like to come back and try their chicken sandwiches and pineapple or mango hand pies. We were served efficiently and the area was kept clean. read more

We stopped by yesterday to buy chicken and a mango pie. The filling of the pie was SO HOT it burned my daughters chest. She bit the pie and the filling fell on her chest. She cried a lot and we cleaned it off really fast. Immediately her skin peeled (1st picture). A couple of hours later she had blisters (2nd pictire). I understand food should be hot but the pie was ridiculously hot. My husband and I tried to eat it right after and we couldnt. I like my food hot. I can eat freshly made food and think its hot but its bearable. It doesnt hurt/burn you. Jollibie, please check on your foos temperatures and make sure they are SAFE. read more

So my cousin has been hyping this place up for months. Saying when. He has a fried chicken fix, this is the only place he'll order from. So I ran into it the other day and thought I'd give it a try. Went through their drive thru so did not experience the full restaurant. I had a three piece meal. I will say it was good. There is a different flavor here vs going to Church's or Popeye's. I got mashed potatoes and fries to go with. Both were good as well. They offer spicy seasoned as well as unseasoned. The spicy for me was not that hot, but I could tell it was seasoned. It was nice that it wasn't overwhelming where my sinuses would give out and my nose did not start to run. I have been to places where I couldn't taste anything because my mouth was on fire. The staff at the window was friendly. I had to park and they brought the food out to my car. So it appears their food is fresh as well. Will definitely return when I am in the area feenin' for friend chicken. read more

Jollibee - Sign facing Westheimer Road - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

DAMN. Took them long enough LOL I've been waiting for this location to open since forever and they opened up super quietly too, probably trying to avoid all the crazy fried chicken fanatics breaking down their doors: Me OVERALL TASTE REVIEW: 6.5/10, would eat here again Original Fried Chicken: 7.5/10 (They ran out of spicy :/ ) -Idk what the other reviewer was talking abt but ours had a good amount of flavor but the flavor isn't anything crazy or unique. It's well cooked, ~mOiSt~, but size of the thighs were on the smaller side Adobe rice: 6/10 It's ok, kinda plain but savory but still just better than plain white rice. Tastes wayy better with gravy added Mashed potatoes: 7/10 Nothing special. Like a better version of grade school mashed potatoes but I still like it, ask for extra gravy Palabok Fiesta: 5/10 Very thin vermicelli noodles with a dry Asian flavored sauce kinda like "Bánh Canh Tôm Cua" (Ifykyk) but way less shrimpy. It's fine but I wouldn't order again Spicy Deluxe Fried Chicken Sandwich: 8/10 It's pretty good! Very good size with a fresh jalapeño spice! And it's actually has a decent amount of spice, not gentrified spice lol Cheesy Yum Burger: 7/10 It's different! The burger has plain ingredients but it's the sauce that adds all the flavor! It's creamy, savory with a slightly sweet taste. Almost slightly fruity but it's good! Def try it out Pineapple juice: 7/10 It's just diluted pineapple juice lol. Nothing crazy but it's still good Peach Mango Pie: 7.5/10 Crispy and not too sweet! It tastes exactly as it sounds, peach + mango. Def needs ice cream! Ube pie: 7/10 Creamy and slightly sweet. And idc what anyone says, Ube tastes almost like taro with a slightly more concentrated taste. Good but needs ICE CREAM ***Bonus: No I didn't get the spaghetti bc I've had it at the West U location and I HATE IT OMG. People either love it or hate it but to me it tastes like frozen dinner spaghetti with cheap hot dogs cut in that they just dumped in sugar. It's not even like a special flavor, it just straight up tastes like so much sugar + spaghetti sauce. I'm not abt it but for the ppl that does like it, y'all nasty lol read more

Nothing to see here folks. Flavorless fries. Greasy chicken. And a confused drive thru where they almost gave me my order twice when they forgot the soft drink. Also note a very family oriented menu. Think various size buckets with sides. Just want something for yourself? You're limited to 2 or 3 piece meals. Plain or spicy. No sandwiches. No chicken strips or nuggets. Bottom line? Stick with Popeyes or KFC. Jollibees needs to get its act together. read more

First time Lola visited the place she got sick after eating the food, The food was mediocre-wasn't the best. The service was okay as the cashier was friendly.

I enjoyed my food. I have heard of the place before so after seeing this new location I decided to give it a try. I got the yum burger with cheese which is just a cheeseburger with their special sauce. The burger was very juicy and had a different kind of taste in a good way. The spicy fried chicken breast was not spicy according to my boyfriend, it was mediocre but not anything special, it was sort of plain tasting. The spaghetti was sweet, it was a very different taste for what I'm used to but it was not bad at all, however I likely would not bother to order it again. It tasted like spaghetti with sugar I absolutely LOVED the mango peach pie. I would go back for just this pie alone!!! The outside was crunchy and the inside had a lot of filling, it was very fresh tasting. read more

First off, your soda machine is broken so no option but to order the pineapple juice. Would have been nice if we had other option. Ordered 10pc bucket half n half spicy and classic. When we started eating the classic the meat was not fully cooked. Not our first time eating Chicken Joy, been eating this since I was kid. I can tell what is wrong with the chicken. Staff and manager insisted the chicken was cooked with set time for 20 min and there chicken is juicy. There is a thin line between juicy and being raw. O had the two pieces replaced as they don't have any solution to the problem, it looks like they wanted us to eat the chicken alive. Don't come here, go somewhere else. read more

I thought Jollibee was only available in NYC and CA but I came to learn that there's two in Houston while visiting my parents. I took my little sister here while we were out shopping. The cashier Anastacia was so kind and apologized when my order was taking a little long (which isn't her fault). I would give 5 stars for customer service but unfortunately, as a reviewer my reviews depend heavily on the food. Despite the wait time (one would think the time was used effectively in ensuring food quality), the chicken was not crispy and was subpar in flavor. I could only say this with confidence since I'm from NYC and had chickenjoy from all the locations there. The spicy chicken sandwich on the other hand, was decent. I might give the other location a try when I revisit Texas next year, if covid allows. read more

Jollibee - My sister's first Jollibee experience lol - Fast Food Near Me - Houston, Texas

In from out of town that does not have a Jollibee, so I had to stop by and see what all the fuss was about. Family stays about 30 minutes away from this location which was the closest, so it was on the bucket list while we were in town. When I came, they weren't busy with customers, but I could visually see the staff all working on something else. My wife and I probably spent about 5 minutes deciding on what to order because we also had to feed 10 other people, so we got all the important, necessary items on the menu. The chicken, spaghetti and the sides. We also got the Ube and the peach-mango pies for dessert as well. We had to wait a good 20-25 minutes for our order because they had to make more gravy that comes with the chicken. When the worker was packing our order, she explained that somebody else came by and ordered all the fries, which was an additional wait, but we weren't complaining. When she gave us our order, she made sure we had everything we needed and also slid in two extra pies and apologized for our long wait. That was very sweet of her, but I forgot to take her name to give her credit. This location definitely has some good workers which the company should be lucky and proud! I'll be back again when i'm in town! read more
