    Stopped by during their opening and was impressed with how fast and efficient the service was, even with the crowd. The restaurant itself has a couple of seats. Tenders - 8.5/10 I got the medium spice, and they were excellent. Juicy on the inside, clearly brined, with a nice smoky flavor that sets them apart. Also, these things are massive for chicken tenders--definitely not your average fast food size. Fries - 8/10 Classic crinkle-cut fries, crispy and satisfying. The real star here is their spicy mayo--perfect pairing that kicks things up a notch. Hot Slider - 8/10 Tried it in the Hot spice level. Tasty overall, but I found the bun and toppings kind of overpowered the chicken a bit. Still a solid sandwich with great flavor. Spice Levels: They use a dry rub instead of a sauce, which I liked. The medium had almost no heat, which was perfect for me--it let the flavors shine. The hot brought a numbing, lingering spice that heat-lovers will appreciate. Overall, it's a great twist on hot chicken with unique flavor and high quality. I'll definitely be back to try more!

    I wrote to the Jollibee link, which they response quick, but realized now Jollibee has implemented…read morea system (via Qualtrics) that uses AI-driven analytics to process customer feedback from surveys, comments, and reviews. This AI helps: Sort and analyze complaints Detect patterns (e.g., common issues) Speed up resolution times (reportedly improved by 50%+) So AI is helping internally, not necessarily talking to you directly. I am writing to formally document the issues we experienced during our visit to the Jollibee Ajax location. Our order came out to be like 164.94$ after taxes. We came to pick up the food and get on the road. I wanted to eat there so that the food would be fresh and hot. The only good thing that was hot was the chicken. The Angus burger was served cold and dry. We also ordered 24 pieces of Jolly Chicken -- 12 regular and 12 spicy --, but the buckets were not labelled or distinguished in any way. When I approached a staff member to ask which buckets were spicy, she initially pointed to a toothpick that was not there. I had to insist before she checked the receipt, consulted the manager, and corrected the order. Additionally, fries were missing from one of the combos. The manager, who was responsible for dispatching and packing the order, never acknowledged the mistake or offered an apology. Neither did any other staff member. That was not the reaction a manager should be having. They should be taking care of it themselves and apologizing for the error on their part. The thing that really makes me feel like we are not guests at the location is that we are just a number with $$$ on top of our heads. We were ready to take the order and go. If we did, there would be a lot more upset people who gave money to taste the food. We would have turned back to drive all the ways there. For sure, there will definitely be a huge complaint. Surprisingly, there were no apologies from the staff either. Funny thing is, I was doing a review of the food and service. It probably won't be that great due to the circumstances. I told myself not to post anything, maybe he can do a review another time after we speak to them. I guess not. During our wait for our food, a white Caucasian man said I do not usually do this and it's my first time here, but my burger inside was cold. I'm sure your manager on duty can recall this complaint. How can we ensure that this situation does not happen to anyone else, and what steps will you take to make things right? It has now been 12 days without any response or communication from the store. This is incredibly disappointing. Even with advanced technologies like AI, they still do not reach out to their customers after 12 days and counting. They should take an example from McDonald's, which is known for effectively addressing customer complaints.

    This was my first time trying this location in Ajax. There's a drive thru at this location…read more The spicy chicken is definitely crispier vs the original Jolly chicken. The menu offers good variety and they have Ube pies now. The restaurant was well maintained and clean. The service is fast serve. You get a transponder to notify you when your order is ready.

    Bad food and bad service. They got my order completely wrong and then told me it's what I asked for.read more

    I stumbled upon this place today while walking around my neighbourhood. I love Indian food so, of…read morecourse, I had to investigate. Apparently, they've only been open a couple of weeks. Walking in, the space is mostly kitchen, with no seating (under COVID conditions). The previous (burger) restaurant that occupied this space before had only two tables of two and a counter in the window. There are currently two tables of four set up under a tent in the parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant. These tables could have been cleaner. In addition to TV screens hanging from the ceiling, there is a large menu on the wall with (I'm guessing) their six most popular items. I ordered the Tandoori(?) chicken from this menu. It included two leg quarters, salad, rice, naan, and a drink for only $9.99. Not a bad deal. It took about fifteen minutes for my order to be completed. A few other customers were ahead of me, also waiting, some impatiently. Once ready, I sat at one of the tables out front. Hmmm, no napkins? Only a spoon to eat with? Where's my drink? Once I got that sorted, it was time to eat. The chicken was a tad on the dry side and the flavours a bit understated. The salad consisted of lettuce, cucumbers, and red onions. The naan was large and fresh. The rice was plentiful, nice and fluffy. I'm used to bolder flavours in Indian cuisine. Overall, it was just okay. I'm used to bold flavours but I found the chicken a bit underseasoned. While the food wasn't bad, it wasn't as good as I was anticipating. Hopefully, these issues will be sorted out in time. PS - The fly strips hanging in the restaurant were a bit of a turn off.
