    2pc Spicy Chickenjoy Combo Meal $10.49 (06/25/24). @Jollibee @JollibeeUS #JournalSquare #JerseyCity #NewJersey #FilipinoFood #Pinoy
    Jeff B.

    (Dined/Tookout 06/22/2024 SA @ 3:00pm): This was the jolliest bee ever... and their food showed it, too! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, I finally made my way to Journal Square's Jollibee location. To be frank, I loved the Jollibee brand and enjoyed the ones I've visited in Los Angeles. Now, this was going to be my first one outside of California which added more excitement for me. Based in the Philippines, the Jollibee brand was the largest and fastest growing Asian restaurant company in the world in addition to other brands under its umbrella. To be clear, this was a chicken-foward eatery. Now that I already disclosed to be a fan of this brand, would I be a jolly bee at this particular location!? PURCHASE 2pc Spicy Chickenjoy (Drumstick & Thigh) + Mashed Potato Side + Gravy Side + 16floz Minute Maid Pink Lemonade Soda Combo Meal ($10.49): "Chickenjoy", their delicately hand-breaded signature fried chicken with crispy skin and amazing juicy marinated meat, these two pieces were just as tasty as I've remembered. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=Y4NrmPFFxD_b1ijU3ddNzw The mashed potato was creamy and feathery while the gravy was other-worldy and paired well when you dipped the chicken into it. I wish I had a scoop of rice to pour it over. And, the soda did its job of quenching my thirst. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=pD5pfCpd7cMBhE_iYA3ylA Spicy Chicken Sandwich Deluxe + Crispy Fries Side + Peach Mango Pie + 16floz Mugs Root Beer Soda Combo Meal ($12.00): I had this one to-go for dinner, and I barely waited after I got home before I started eating. The sandwich had a luscious large chicken patty, thick tomato slice, a leafy green, and a spicy sauce all between a lightly-toasted bun. This was a lovely two-hander. The fries were hella crispy and plentiful, the pie was piping hot, crispy, and juicy, and I always enjoyed a nice root beer. A wonderful dinner! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=FHxnsH0AQdu9s2P3XsfPag SERVICE I was helped by the same friendly young female who quickly took my respective orders, and wished me a nice day. Each order was ready minutes later as I waited nearby. For my dine-in meal, I easily found a table in the back and went to town. You filled up your own drink cup (don't take advantage of this). Once I was done, I dumped my own trash (don't be lazy). Everything was easy-peasy - salamat po! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) This was a moot point since I took the 20-30-minute walk. I noticed a few parking lots in and around the area, but there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drags of Kennedy Blvd., Bergen Ave. and all surrounding intersecting streets. Better yet, take the PATH train - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A sizable space with an open ordering and waiting area while you had several tables and chairs along the left side of the restaurant that extended deep towards the back. While there were promotional posters on the front windows, the inside was fairly clear of such things and was very clean. Minimal natural lighting came through the covered and tinted front windows and door while a ton of electric recessed ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=G3DR6AcQVP3jtKF3HYoDfQ ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Jollibee's Journal Square location checked all of the boxes, and I would gladly return to get my Filipino fast food fix the next time I was in town. I loved everything I ate, the portion sizes were adequate, the prices were a tad high, and the service was straightforward and easy. The menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=JwDKcxMMMr66GWScsNanNQ was also simple with some standard Filipino dishes and various combo meals. I normally didn't make a habit of supporting major chains, but dammit, I have nostalgia and national pride with this brand. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $24.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    Spicy chicken sandwich
    George B.

    Stopped in recently and ordered the combo meal with adobo rice , a side of mash, and spicy chicken. Everything was tasty. You can taste the spices in chicken. The meal left me full for the whole day.

    Can't go wrong with good ol fashion spicy chicken and palabok. Sure sometimes service is slow but it happens everywhere fast food. At least here at the end you get some of the best spicy chicken

    My first time at Jollibee! TBH, I was very surprised at how delicious this chicken was. I ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich with a side of fries. The sandwich had spicy mayo with fresh jalapeños. It was breast meat, but you could tell the chicken had been well brined. VERY moist, probably the most moist fried chicken breast sandwich I've ever had. Very unexpected. The fries? Equally as delicious. Better than McDonald's. If you don't believe me, you should definitely go try them. Jollibee for the win!

    Jollibee is a fast food chain specializing in fried chicken, burgers, spaghetti and other Filipino dishes . One of the best fried chicken cooked in Filipino way , I like the extra crispy one and of course with the spaghetti plus the peach mango pie. Service is good and fast plus the friendly staff members available to make your dining experience really good and wonderful. The place is busy and the staff are quick in cleaning up those vacated tables used. Bathrooms are coded so that the people who'll be using are real customers of jollibee. Nice place to enjoy the famous Filipino dishes. Not so expensive fast food restaurant with relaxing atmosphere.

    I didn't know that Jollibee existed. I always thought that Popeyes fried chicken and their batter were the best. After trying out Jollibee i changed my mind. I loved their spicy options and their batter are crispy and delicious. The food taste good after a day as well. Definitely worth coming here for more

    Keepin it real in Journal Square I love that this exists here in JS. Customer service top notch as usual, can be measured with Chick Fil A even. The interior is actually nice, but does have constant traffic. You simply can't go wrong with Jollibee, we pretty much got the whole menu (almost). Only thing lacking is the chicken sandwich, juicy but the chicken itself just didn't hit compare to previous times, and the lettuce is pretty old and dark in certain area. But still, good experience! Will def visit again, either here or Woodside.

    Convenient for commuters. Grabbed a few snacks. The fries were legit. Service was kind and quick. Ample seating. Could've been a little cleaner but it wasn't bad.

    Fried chicken
    James L.

    Crazy busy at this location but you would expect that at the mall and this is probably one of the best they have to offer at the mall. Everything is fresh and hot. We think the fried chicken is better than Popeyes. The peach mango pie is our favorite, it's a fried crust that's warm and crunchy with the sweet fruity goodness inside. The pineapple quencher is also very refreshing. I cannot have just one. Service could be a little better but then it is a crazy busy place with good food but expect to wait a little while for your food alll day long.

    I have visited two Jollibee locations and this one is my favorite. I just felt like this location had better customer service. The food was hotter and delicious. The space is more inviting and my children and I love to make a visit every time we make a visit to Jersey City. The spicy chicken is the best. It's clean, juicy, and the gravy it comes with is a plus to add to the chicken. My daughter loved her chicken sandwich but thought it could have been a bit spicier, and OMG! Watch out MCDONALD'S their fries were amazing. I say this gets a thumbs up from the whole family. Happy Yelping!

    Counter space
    Dara R.

    I went to this spot on noon on a weekday and the staff doesn't seem equipped to deal with the lunch crowd. Also CRAZY OVERPRICED since it's at a transit hub All I ordered were large fries and it took 10 minutes. There's not enough staff at this location to handle the lunch rush and the food isn't that special from what the overall franchise is supposed to serve. I feel like this spot doesn't do the whole chain justice. Waits are way too long and food isn't good enough to stand around for 15 minutes for overpriced chicken meals

    They usually let me fill the chicken bucket with spaghetti and eggs. Or else I will get an anus burger deluxe with cheese. Ice t is so good to drink with it because it's sweeter. My friend always eats his birthday dinner food here every year after the next. The girl at the counter is real pretty and ticklish. She lets me have purple pies sometimes.

    Food (4/5): The spicy chicken sandwich and chicken tenders or bone in fried chicken are absolutely amazing here. Especially the sandwich, the chicken is amazingly crispy, large amount of meat, and reasonably priced. The fried chicken or tenders are also very good and quality. My issue is with the other items on the menu. For example, the yum burger is small for an unexpectedly high price for a fast food burger. It also isn't anything special and you taste too much bread compared to meat. Also while the Palabok is good, for the price you get a very small portion. The spaghetti is definitely an acquired taste, which I don't personally like. It tastes like spaghetti with canned sausage and tomato sauce. Venue (5/5): For a fast food spot, it's quite spacious and clean. There is a lot of seating and conveniently located right outside the Journal Square PATH. Service (3/5): The food comes out a bit slow compared to other fast food places and the people aren't necessarily friendly like on Chick-fil-A. Having come here multiple times, they will sometimes mess up your order too. Quite frequently they will mix up the spicy and regular chicken.

    3 piece non season spicey chicken and crispy fries that were supposed to be parmasean. Never again .

Also ordered the monster fries and Cajun fries with a side of cheese and also enjoyed it! Fries were cooked fresh (if you know old oil fried then you'll know what I mean by these were fried FRESH) and it didn't have an overly greasy or soggy taste at all - they were perfectly crispy and tasty. Cajun fries delivered the spice with a side of cheese, it hit all the cravings. The monster fries were tasty too. Also ordered the organic fruit punch refresher (5/5) definitely refreshing and tastes organic - not overly sweet which I loved. Service was friendly and quick. Ambience was chill with about 7 tables depending on your party size you could put smaller tables together by the booth seating (if needed and available). Definitely will be a place we come visit again, soon!

So, I…read morefigured I'd try it out again after years of avoiding it at my local McDonald's in Journal Square. This location happened to be recently renovated. So, it looks more modern than before and even has a takeout window at the entrance now for late-night orders. There is ample seating in front and the registers, pickup area, and self-service kiosks are far in the back. I ordered two times during a week and got a double cheese burger promo then a Big Mac promo with a $5 chicken sandwich combo with nuggets. When it comes to taste, everything tasted mediocre and not very fresh - like it was all precooked, sitting in the bin, and just reheated to serve. All the chicken dishes were either dried out or overcooked. The Big Mac was ok. And, I disliked the Sprite soda. It tasted like it was made with lightly carbonated tap water and sweet syrup - not Sprite. I did notice an element of poor and homeless people still hanging out here. So, don't be surprised if you see a few or smell a few. With that said, they dont clean the tables often either. So, it's best not to dine in, or something may ruin your appetite. Perhaps it's been too long or now I have had much better fast food and burgers. But, I thought McDonald's tasted better. Although the price fits the taste, I'd only grab this again if I want cheap grub fast. And I definitely wouldn't dine in at this location.
