To those who don't know: Jollibee is not an American/USA company. It's Filipino. Jollibee first opened in 1978 in the Philippines. And the first Jollibee restaurant in USA opened in the 2010s. Some Filipinos have said that the Jolibee restaurant in the Philippines is better than the Jollibee in the USA. Also, Filipino spaghetti is made with banana ketchup and not tomatoes. It's cultural and traditional. And has to do with WII and the lack of access to tomatoes. It was a make-do moment and now banana ketchup is one of their favorite condiments.

Yep. Last I was in Manila, 1982, a buddy in the Navy at Subic took me to Jollibee in Manila. It was really good. The spice profile reminded me of Spanish but not quite and a bit Chinese, but again not quite. The fried chicken was outstanding and coming from a Southerner that's high praise indeed. Loved it. They need to open one near me because it's just that good. Oh yeah, the rice is wonderful too. Cheers from Tennessee

It's so funny when people tell other people how to eat something their way, as if that is the only way. Here is a top tip, this is America, you two eat the food you get the way you want to eat it, and if someone does not like it, you tell them to piss off. Now of course people can say how they do it, but that is not the only way to do it, just do what you want. You are not in trouble for doing something what someone else says is the wrong way, there is no wrong way, you do it your way and that is how we do it here.

Im sure someone has said this, but jollibee isnt an american fast food franchise. Its fillipino. Americans do not usually eat spaghaetti with fried chicken, nor put hot dogs in spaghetti lol.

you are so ignorant of American culture. You can see in American TV shows how their spaghetti can have hotdogs. You also need to be informed, Spaghetti Sauces in Philippines are all from American companies. Clearly you are trying to make the Filipino Spaghetti sound exotic. I love Filipino Spaghetti and Jollibee. But Please Stop Trying too hard to make it exotic. No one uses Banana Ketchup to cook spaghetti since 1987, except for the poorest of the poor, who were told it cheaper than just buying Del Monte, Hunts or Heinz tomato spaghetti sauce. Banana Ketchup for Jollibee, 😂😂😂😂😂. They dont even use banana ketchup on their burgers. Be informed BANANAS are mega expensive now.

Many Asian countries like their tomato sauces quite sweet to be fair. The Philippines especially, I mean Jollibee became famous for their spaghetti joy thingy and it's famously sweet with the hot dogs in it. I don't mind the sweetness of it, but I can certainly understand people who don't like it. The chicken from there though, is top tier. I don't normally dip my fried chicken in anything, but Jollibee gravy is one of the things I do dip it in. The spicy chicken in that gravy is quite yummy.

I don't know who's been telling you it's a cardinal sin to dip chicken in mashed and/or gravy, but it's perfectly acceptable to do. I'm almost 50 years old, and I used to dip my KFC chicken in their gravy 40 some odd years ago. I have to say, I've been watching Doctor Who (and other British shows) since about 1980 or so - so I'm used to people saying "chicken burger" or other such things. I don't understand why other Americans get so triggered over it. In any event, Jollibee is quite good for fast food chicken etc. I think their spicy chicken is really good, and their peach mango pie is top tier stuff. They also have a few specifically Pilipino dishes that are really good for fast food.

Good fried chicken always has a crisp outer coating with moist meat but chicken thighs are notoriously greasy. The best piece is the breast if you can get it without being dry. The first place that I know of that uses pineapple in their barbecue sauce was Famous Dave’s but a lot of places do that now. It sounds like you’re in SoCal so I don’t know if there are any Famous Dave’s down there or not. My wife loves their Hellfire pickles there and always ask for extras.

It's baffling how California keeps messing either the food or the order and I noticed you've mentioned that it might be the accent and I suppose that could be. I live in New York City (which is the east coast) so we're used to accents; there's even an area in downtown Manhattan where a lot of British people live. I've never been to California but I wonder if they're just not used to British accents. Our Jollibee here in NYC always include a tub of gravy for dipping even without asking regardless if they give you the mashed potatoes since the gravy is for the chicken, so I wonder if they thought you meant you didn't want the side of gravy. Also, don't let anyone discourage you when you eat something differently than how it's meant to be eaten; if a certain food combo tastes good to you, even if it's not the intended way of eating it, it is the correct way FOR YOU so keep eating it that way. I eat things "incorrectly" all the time but it tastes good and makes me happy so I keep doing it.

We appreciate you sharing your insight! We will definitely give Jollibee another try as the chicken is delicious, and we really want to try the gravy on it's own.

I prefer Popeyes chicken personally but the service is hands down better at Jollibee. At least here in Virginia beach anyway.
