    To make sure you taste it the way it was meant to be eaten, make sure you dip the chicken on the free brown gravy provided. The spaghetti is called sweet spaghetti and has a completely different taste compared to the Italian version. Those are the 2 major things that stands out which makes Jollibee different than the other fast food chains.

    Chicken's great, spaghetti's good (if you like it sweet), rest is meh.

    Someone posted earlier they'd rather have Max's Fried Chicken open up there instead -- 100% agree with him. Delicious to the bone.

    White person's review:

    Tried a little bit of most that they had to offer.

    Burger: Gross. Meat was weird. Sauce pretty good. Big Mac-ish sauce.

    Spaghetti: as described. Imagine fast food pasta, with sweet meat sauce. Tasted exactly like I imagined, which was not-so-good.

    Chicken: Awesome. Crispy and juicy, spicy has a perfect little kick. Gravy was just like KFC's, and no big deal/unnecessary.

    Halo Halo: Somewhere between tasty and the weirdest **** I've ever eaten in America. Imagine a sno-cone dropped in a cup filled with sweetened and condensed milk, then black-eyed peas dumped on top of it. Still not entirely sure what I was eating. Probably should have had an epi-pen nearby.


    Interesting place, and Filipinos are helluva nice and friendly folk, it seems.

    It's not very good. Filipinos like going there because it reminds them of the Philippines and it's like a monument of Filipino pride here in America, but most of them really don't even like the food that much.

    it's an acquired taste. most Filipinos grew up with this food. when you taste it, it brings back happy memories... the food is good, the only reason they would say they don't like it that much is because here in american, there's a lot of choices.

    10, but if the line is like it was last night (and i assume it is), they will close the line well in advance of 10.

    They open at 7:00 am and close at 10:00 pm.

    I heard they closed the line at 9:30 pm yesterday.

    The line was long this afternoon as well.

    lunch time yesterday was not bad. our waiting time was only 30 mins. got there around 11.50 and we were already eating at 12.25.

    watch out where you park. the other business owners in that arae are so mad because their customers are not able to park. i saw a tow truck yesterday.

    This is Houston, plenty of other places you can find something good to eat, why just settle for just one? You have a car, DRIVE!!!!! Somewhere else!!!
