“Food and service is amazing. Lino in particular is very nice and helpful”
“Judith Was really nice and help me through everything and make sure that we get our order”
“Ofellia is so kind and excellent customer service! Chicago elston location!”
“We always stop by this Jolibee when in the Chicago area. Spicy chicken is always 🔥🔥🔥. Wasn't as busy as we usually see it on this Friday night. If you haven't tried it, you are late to the party.”
“Jollibee didn’t just serve me dinner — they served me a full-blown revival. I ordered the fried chicken with rice and gravy, plus a side of their iconic spaghetti, and let me tell you… my taste buds caught the Holy Ghost. The gravy? Smooth, rich, and comforting — like the little cup of communion wine at church, except this time it wasn’t symbolic… it was salvation you could pour over rice. Every spoonful felt sacred. If they passed this out in the pews, attendance would double. Now the fried chicken? Lawwwd. That chicken was baptized in seasoning and raised in righteousness. The crust cracked like thunder with every bite, revealing meat so juicy it could’ve written its own gospel. The flavor didn’t just sit on the surface — it testified. It sang. It wrapped around my tongue like a Southern choir hitting the final note on Sunday morning. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and dripping with glory. And the spaghetti? Sweet, savory, and uniquely Jollibee — like if a Filipino fiesta and your childhood birthday party joined forces. It shouldn’t work as well as it does… but it absolutely does. Five stars. Hallelujah. I came for dinner and left spiritually fulfilled. 🙌🍗”

“Fastfood .. but very slow service. .. need to wait for 30 mins for our carry out order.. and if you dont ask for utensils they wont give you no condiment either.. 9/7 visit.. again the line was long.. and only have 1 cashier ! So expect 30 mins on the line and another 30 mins for waiting your order ! Is this how we portray Filipino service?! Management need to do something about it ! Thought we Filipino service is world class ?!!!!? Anf also.. they short of change on me for $ 0.71 ! This is not acceptable ! .. and we can hear your name when they call when the order is ready !!! Came to visit again today12/28.. after 2 years.. it seems no improvement at all on their very slow service. Intentionally went early in the morning around 10.30am.. when the line is not that long.. but still you need to wait for 30 mins for your order.. no wonder.. trademark for Filipino service.. always late and delay..”
“Terrible place. The food is blah. The people here are incompetent. Management virtually inexistent. You are better of going to Chick-fil-A. Detailed review: we get there, place an order on the electronic counter, ordered one combo, and one chicken deluxe sandwich. Go sit down and wait not 10, not 15, not 45.... But get this: 75 minutes for two chicken sandwiches, a drink and some fries. In the end it was not even the correct food. Clearly, people waiting got so impatient they started going to the pick-up area to inquire what's taking so long. I told this kid named Sayed, you called my number and he goes " your food is not yet ready" so I am thinking to myself, "why did you call my number then?"... Mind you, the screen is saying the food is ready. So I ask again, "are you sure? The screen says it's ready. He says, "don't trust the screen" Anyway, I ask him "how much longer it will be." He said around 5 more minutes, but 15 minutes go by and still nothing... People there just like me attested to waiting over an hour for the food. Crazy! in the end this guy who had no name tag in a greyish shirt grabbed my ticket and tried to complete the order, by grabbing a regular sandwich and going back to the kitchen to "add the sauce" to make it into a spicy one This other girl Bruna and Sayed were making the same order just to realise they wasted their co-workers time, this want not my order, but an order 25 numbers higher in the ordering sequence. Earlier that kid said their manager wasn't there, but after I got my food he said his manager, was just back... She should have been there all along steering this group of people, they are awfully managed. If you are hungry, don't come here, you might faint waiting for your food to be made. My girlfriend was so desperate she started getting an order submitted for smash burgers Down the road. Worst lunch experience in decades, do yourself a favour and go somewhere they are able to make actual good Fast food.”
