Personally I've always been a McDonald's kind of girl growing up in the Philippines, unfortunately for me McDonald's in the US doesn't serve fried chicken and rice lol. I go to Jollibee on a rarity because first of all, the wait time for your food is always ridiculous be it dine in or take out regardless of the amount you're ordering it seems, and second because the food is beyond mediocre it's laughable. The chicken joy which supposedly is their money maker and star is pretty bad, most times I wonder if it's actually even chicken, it's comparable to Popeye's chicken but Jollibee's is a grease trap and not at all appetizing, although I have to admit I love the crispy skin.
The spaghetti is ok for fast food quality I guess, the palabok not so much. My Husband and son likes their Yumburger with cheese mostly for the sauce but God knows what that is made of too lol. The halo-halo is never consistent either, we ordered 2, one was decent with just the right amount of ice and sweetness and the other was a total fail. Their peach mango pies are their only saving grace in my opinion.
The lack of quality aside though, Jollibee will always thrive because there are tons of Filipinos who flock their locations for nostalgic reasons. Their brand represents the core values of Fiipinos, the importance of family and togetherness, a sense of belonging that no matter where you end up in the world you'll always have that little piece of home when you eat there. So with that being said, I'm sure I will still find myself coming back at one point.
