In the short few years since my initial review, there have been numerous changes that now require…read morean update. Jollibee is still more popular than ever and these four stars are really for what I hope they'll stand to achieve, not what they've been as of late. :: Red Ribbon is of no more (#1) and now Jollibee stands practically alone in its own little corner of the plaza. Instead Baker's Son By Valerio (#2) across the parking lot has become the pseudo Filipino carb hotspot that is resonating well with the community. :: Things are more expensive than ever. A 10 piece is practically $25 and family meals (aka bucket treats) are anywhere from $39-53. In spite of being one of my most made-up words in review form, Foodflation deserves another mention because it absolutely applies here. :: They now have mac and cheese on the menu. It has the same consistency as Popeye's or KFC, which is really not good. it's salty, tastes artificial, and is paltry in portion, especially when considering the price. :: They are also slower than ever. Even when there isn't something happening at NRG, the wait has been as long as 45 minutes for group and I, and even longer for a large order. This is for both takeout and dining in. For drive-thru goers, one will be directed to an open parking spot where they'll eventually bring the food out. :: For folks needing points via the app, it can only be applied using a phone number. They have no ability to scan anything on the app itself. It's just a tinge backwards. The other Jollibee locations are better in terms of execution, but this just happens to be the only one inside the loop. Location is not everything. __________ (#1) https://www.yelp.com/biz/red-ribbon-bakeshop-houston-3 (#2) https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-bakers-son-by-valerios-houston

In the past, I never understood the Jollibee hype. Being a Filipina, I know that's unusual... But,…read moreI do appreciate it much more as of late. It's been YEARS since I've visited a Jollibee, and it seems both the individual locations and the brand as a whole have made a lot of upgrades and changes for the better! The kiosk ordering system is a nice convenience, and (specific to the Houston restaurant) the establishment has been renovated for a more modern & minimalist look. Also worth mentioning: The restaurant was clean, and the crew was organized and efficient. Go, H-Town! Now, the food: I don't dislike the spaghetti, but it's still not my cup of tea... I still can't wrap my head or my tastebuds around the sweet & sugary sauce, and the addition of fatty hot dogs just don't do it for me. The adobo rice is overrated, in my option... a lot of garlic and salt, but missing the essence of adobo. I'll also pass on the biscuit next time (dry and didn't have much going on). However, I totally get why the fried chicken has become so viral! Super crispy, but not greasy. Great flavor & seasoning without being obnoxiously salty (think Popeye's cousin who went to college). And, thanks to TikTok, I enjoyed a chicken skin taco (skin stuffed with rice and drown it in brown gravy). Yummmmm! ChickenJoy is definitely where it's at.

I understand because everything is made to order. I ordered two fried chicken wing dinners, orange chicken and an order of shrimp fried rice.

Everything was good and we had 4.5 meals out of the two fried dinners and fried rice, which is an amazing value.

Fries look the same but taste completely different. Are they using the same product, different oil? Bread was hard and dry... no buttery flavor whatsoever. Lastly, the chicken pieces were small but thick (almost like nuggets) and breading was missing or falling off. I literally could see large areas of the chicken meat on several pieces. This was the first time i have never eaten my entire meal and had sauce left over.

The music was turned up so loudly that conversation was difficult, and the situation was made worse by three women in the corner booth who were essentially shouting at one another. The food and service were perfectly fine, but the atmosphere was not conducive to an enjoyable meal. If we had wanted to eat in a concert setting, it would have been acceptable; instead, we were hoping for a quiet dinner together. Overall, it was an exceptionally unpleasant experience, and I do not expect to return anytime soon, if at all.

The shake wasn't overly sweet and had just the right thickness for both my friend and me. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, which definitely hit the spot. Service was fast both when ordering and when our food was brought to the table. That said, a few tables could have used a quick wipe-down before new customers sat, which slightly took away from the experience. The ambiance was laid-back and perfect for a quick, casual dine-in. Overall, great burgers and decent service--just a bit more attention to cleanliness would make it even better. I'd come back again if I'm ever in the area.

A place, given the standard, with solid burgers, their own ketchup, and a delicious breakfast item known as the honey butter chicken biscuit. I stopped by on a Thursday after playing tennis with a friend in the area. I ordered a Whataburger with cheese, fries, and a drink. Their classic burger. You order at the counter, and unlike most fast food restaurants, they bring your food to you when it's ready if you're dining in. These are not gourmet burgers, and nowhere close to the best burgers in town, but they're solid for a fast food joint.
