Two Tuesdays ago, I caught an early flight to Winnipeg. It arrived at 10 am. I had been awake since…read more4:30 am. After fetching my luggage and rental car, I was ready for lunch at around 11 am. If anyone knows me, I tend to eat a later lunch no matter how early I am up. However, I had a long day ahead of me driving down to the Twin Cities, so I needed some nourishment. It was a no-brainer move for me to visit this Jollibee location: - It was the first one established in Canada - It has a drive-thru - I needed my Fillipino fast food fix - It's less than ten minutes away from the airport I love Jollibee. I am thrilled that the greater Toronto area (GTA) has locations. However, none of them have drive-thrus. All three Winnipeg Jollibee locations do. What is wrong with you, GTA?! I am also ecstatic that Jollibee chose Winnipeg for its first Canadian location. Winnipeg boasts the highest Filipino population per capita and has Canada's third-largest Filipino population. It truly deserved the nod. I could have dined in. I wanted to hit the drive-thru and did just that. I had the most helpful woman take my order. My order comprised these items: - Pineapple juice - Two burger steaks with steamed rice - A side of spaghetti - Peach mango tea I asked if I could do a side of spaghetti. I could. Yay! My order was over $20. I frankly don't remember the exact price, which is odd for me. I was borderline hangry. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was good. I got my drink and bag of food fairly quickly. I thanked the woman and headed over to an available parking spot in a vast parking lot to chow down. I love the pineapple juice. It's sweet, but not disgusting gross. It's like a cheerful burst of happiness when you sip it. My go-to meal is the two burger steaks with steamed rice. It's the mushroom gravy that makes this meal awesome. I mixed the sauce with the steamed rice and enjoyed it with the burger steaks. It's brilliant comfort food that made me so happy. I love the spaghetti. You get small slices of hot dogs in a tangy-slightly sweet sauce. The noodles were perfectly done. I loved eating it from a cup. It's nice getting drive-thru spaghetti. Fazoli's is the other chain that I know of where you can get spaghetti at a drive-thru. I normally get two peach mango pies. I decided to get one because my order was large. It hit the spot. The exterior was crispy. The peach mango filling was excellent. I was so happy. I loved this location so much that I ate here before I headed to the airport to head home to Toronto. My order was similar, except that I wasn't hangry. I omitted the pineapple juice and spaghetti. My lunch was satisfying. I probably saved a bit having comfort food at Jollibee than dining at the airport. I love this location. The food was yummy. Staff were helpful and friendly. When I'm back in town, expect my paying a visit or more here. (79)

Went last night. Stood around the entrance for a long time before the girl finally acknowledged us…read more She sat the people before us right away. So she knew we were there. She acted like she was busy and played around at the cash register as we watched her. She then walked away while we watched her still and we stood around some more. She then decided to seat us by rudely saying, "Where do you want to sit!?" Once she sat us, we waited for 10 minutes before she told her co-worker she sat us down. Her co-worker had no idea we were not served. She came right away. It was evident that the first girl did not want to serve us. She was definitely racist against Asians because she was nice to everyone else. Very unfortunate. Maybe the employees need to be trained better on acceptance of everyone and how to treat others with respect. On the bright side, chicken was good.

+.5 for service I…read morekeep hearing that this is the best Chicken Chef location in the city. I was in the St. James area one day with my roommate and he wanted me to try this place (I shockingly had never been to Chicken Chef; it was usually Popeyes/Jollibee/Red Top for me when it comes to fried chicken). It wasn't too busy when I went here. Their TVs were consistently showing aquarium scenes. There was a steady stream of customers ordering take out here. I had a three piece chicken dinner, with coleslaw and onion rings. Their fried chicken is pressure cooked, so it's not as crispy as the other places. It's healthier though! The salad was average, the onion rings were poor. Service was good here. I wouldn't rate this as my top fried chicken place in the city, but a "sure I'll stop by if I'm nearby and you insist" situation.

I find it to be understaffed and overpriced. But it is not bad but what you'd expect.read more

I was there for lunch yesterday…read more There was a waitress, who did not attend me, made me wait constantly while other larger tables came in and served them first. It was the worst service ever. She filled my coffee cup so full that when I added milk it overflowed. Then when I wanted napkins, she went to clean a large table, where the people had left, and leave me with this mess on my table and no napkins. When I asked her about this service, she said "it's not like I was sitting down the whole time, I was and am busy. I had many tables. Your cup was never empty. So don't give me a tip" I wish I hadn't ate there at all. I told her that I wasn't her supervisor and I am not getting g paid to evaluate her whole day. I told her that I was constantly chasing her down for every refill, and it shouldn't have been that way. She did not get the message, and even did not want to take the coffee off the bill. What a disaster, worst service I have had in a long time.

The chicken is routinely good but the customer service is meh; if this doesn't matter to you, so be it.
