Jollibee continues to serve some of the best fast-food fried chicken around. The chicken is…read moreconsistently moist, tender, flavorful, and never overly salty. And don't skip the individually wrapped Peach Mango Pie--it's crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. This Jollibee is located inside Tacoma Mall, kitty-corner from Nordstrom Rack, with plenty of convenient parking. It can get very busy, so expect about a 10-15 minute wait to place your order and another 10-15 minutes for your food during peak times. The place was clean and organized. The cashier who took our order was polite, patient, and friendly despite the busy dinner rush, making the ordering experience pleasant. On this visit, we ordered the 10-piece Chickenjoy bucket with two sides, gravy, and three Peach Mango Pies. As always, the chicken was juicy and tender with a lightly seasoned, crispy golden crust. Dip each piece in the savory gravy for the full Jollibee experience. It's truly finger-licking good! Despite the wait, the food is well worth it. We'll definitely be back whenever we're craving great fried chicken.

I stopped by the Jollibee just outside Tacoma Mall and ordered the chicken strips with adobo rice…read more The food came out quickly, service was excellent, and the place was busy--clearly a popular spot. The standout was the adobo rice: flavorful, well-seasoned, and genuinely the star of the meal. The chicken strips were solid--crispy and tasty in the same way good fried chicken is from most places. The special sauce was a real win, too: an almost umami Sriracha mayo that elevated everything. I also received a peach mango pie that looked a lot like those McDonald's handheld pies, though I didn't try it this time. One small off note: while I was there, a child from the group ordering behind me climbed onto the ordering/pickup counter with dirty shoes and all. Neither the parent nor the employee seemed bothered by it, but it's the surface where food is handed over, so it felt a bit off-putting. Overall, though, the food and service made for a positive visit. The adobo rice alone is enough to bring me back.

Waited over twenty minutes for a two piece meal. While several people behind me got their food…read more Lousy service but I must admit the food was excellent. The chicken was hot right out of the frier and the skin was very crispy. After enjoying the meal I had to come back and update my review on the entire visit. Sure I was disappointed with the young staff who were probably new or just not the best of help. The favor and quality of the chicken was very good so I going to raise my rating up to a 3. The chicken deserves a solid 5

It's like the chef rummage around in the fridge to find some kind of vegetables to throw on top of yesterday's lettuce. The atmosphere is terrible. We sat outside in the back because it was a nice evening. The area was in the process of being demoed for construction. Torn up broken pieces of lumber everywhere. I remember thinking when I sat down, "Is this a joke? " There were ashtrays on the tables. People smoking cigarettes. I don't even know if that's legal. Then they started a poker game? The clientele was kind of rough looking also. We will not be back.

Today, as soon as I pulled up to the drive thru, I was met by Nathan, who was very friendly and had great customer service from the very beginning! I appreciate the kind service and smile! He made sure my order was correct, asked if I needed anything else, put honey, butter and napkins in my bag and handed me my order. It may seem like the little things that people expect, but in my opinion this saved a Popeyes customer. Thanks Nathan!

We ordered Cajun fries but was sadly disappointed in the cold and limp texture it had. The chicken had its signature crisp and strangely was warm. Those fries may have not been so fresh. The Door Dash did try hard to make us feel better by offered a $1.28 credit towards future order. This mishap does not discourage me from getting chicken. This place just has good chicken and biscuits! It is a good place to grab some chicken ! No denying this. It is fair to say that I will cook a side at home.

I literally ate everything on my plate. Then we came back on a Saturday early evening. And the food tasted old. I noticed when I was checking my receipts on Saturday. The guy has said oh you don't have to tip because you're a huge party. When a party of six your tip is automatically included which is the 18%. and I was like oh wow we had six on Tuesday and I left a $25 cash tip. And he said although waiter should've told you it's automatically taken out and the 18% was already taken care of. And I was like no I handed the waitress $25 cash and she never said 18% was taken out and I didn't pay attention to my receipt cause I had children with me but then when I looked back in my car on Saturday night from Tuesday, I realize that she double charged me. So on Tuesday she got over a $50 tip. The waitress on Tuesday she was a Hispanic lady with dark black hair. She robbed me. So please be aware you're going with the party of six or more. They automatically take out 18% gratuity. And I did not like that because she should've told me that you don't have to leave cash. She knew my kids were crying and I was trying to yo leave and not distract the other guest. But on the positive note, the place is nicely decorated. And service is good. I just felt robbed, so for that fact I will never ever be coming back. If you were looking to try this place for the first time come early if you want hot fresh food. If you come later in the evening, the food does taste old.

B's Hot Chicken is located in University Place (North Tacoma), right across from Tacoma Community…read moreCollege. I have never heard of B's Hot Chicken before the day we visited, but it was a great experience. B's Hot Chicken offers drive thru, as well as in store ordering via self-kiosk or with a staff member. The reason for our visit was they were offering a free sandwich, tender, or slushie. Not sure what the reason behind this offer was, but who doesn't love free food? We weren't sure how to order for the free items on self-kiosk, so a staff member assisted us at their register. My sister and I both ordered the free chicken sandwich. Our spice levels were different by choice; mine was mild and hers was medium. For a free sandwich, it was great. It was better than I expected. I liked that the chicken was decently sized. I loved that the buns of the sandwich were on the smaller side. I don't like when there is more bread than meat.

Definitely a let down. I tasted some fries that my friend got and those were very solid. Employees were friendly, and the restaurant seemed clean, but not the most pleasant. The booths were very old and cracked, decor was pretty unappealing, and it just seems like all the decor and ambiance needs to be revamped. It all seems pretty old. That doesn't make or break my personal experience, but it's something to note. I'd definitely come back here, maybe just sticking to drive thru and not getting the coleslaw. Sandwich was great though!

Straight cuts back-to-back. Whoever had control of the music understood the assignment. The atmosphere was chill, welcoming, and just had that cool, laid-back energy. The customer service was amazing as well. The lady at the front greeted us with such great energy that it instantly set the tone for our visit. Now let's get to the food. I had the catfish with collard greens, black-eyed peas and rice, plus white bread. My best friend had cod with mac n yams, red beans and rice, and cornbread. The sides actually came out before the entrée, and we were so hungry that we completely forgot about taking pictures of everything. The food was definitely giving comfort-food energy and was top tier overall. The catfish? Whew, so bomb and full of flavor. Oh and let's not forget the homemade tartar sauce. If I had one small critique, some dishes leaned a little more on the salty side for our preference, but not enough to stop us from coming back. We were actually too full to even try dessert, and now it's officially on our to-do list for the next visit. Overall: good food, good vibes, good music, and great customer service. We'll definitely be back.

As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.
