Came here to order lunch. Kiosk ordering or line up. We opted for the kiosk ordering. Lots of food choices with the usual Fried chicken, spaghetti, palabok, sandwiches like hamburger and chicken sandwich. The backlog queue for the ordering line was probably 10 minutes and food backlog was at least 20-25 minutes only to find out that the food was waiting on the counter and they weren't calling or changing the queue on the screen. Tsk tsk. But overall, food was indeed Jollibee. read more

Jollibee - Line to order - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Super long line. So I ended up just navigating to the website and ordering online there - had my order in before I moved 2 stops. Only one person at the cashier, rest were busy packing and making orders. I went and finished some other orders and picked up that food, came back, and my food was ready for pickup (text message). Nice and simple. The folks I was behind - still in line. I mean, it's fried chicken... they need to be faster than this. Why people want to wait for 10+min in line is beyond me. Anyway - the review: chicken is super big but very fatty. Must breed them that way, b/c each piece had a ton of greasy and oiliness that was missing from the smaller birds I've had at other shops. Gravy was best with their fries and their biscuits. The salty/meaty aroma didn't combine as well and while it masked the bland greasiness of the chicken, didn't really do much to make it enjoyable for me. Pass on the chicken. Spicy was spicier than some other places, though, again, I'm not a spicy fried chicken person. Mac and cheese was heavy and cheesy, yes, but dry at the top. That's been waiting around. I should try the spaghetti next time. read more

Worth the hype! Food is delicious but the lines are insane. Be prepared to wait. Kids were excited to try this jollibee thing they see all their favorite youtubers eating. I was pretty curious about it myself. We grabbed the fried chicken combo, mac and cheese, and the ube pie for dessert. The fried chicken was solid. Nice crispy coating with juicy meat inside. The gravy they give you on the side is super savory and pairs perfectly with it. They were very generous with the gravy too. Everyone got a cup to dip their chicken in. The mac and cheese was creamy and had a good cheesy flavor, though I'd probably get a little more spice or seasoning next time to take it up a notch. The star of the show for me was the ube pie. That thing is dangerously good. Flaky, crispy fried crust with a smooth, not-overly-sweet ube filling that actually tastes like real purple yam. It's a nice twist on the usual fast food pies and definitely worth trying if you like ube or even just sweet potato flavors. I'd highly recommend this one over the regular apple pies they serve. Overall, great chicken spot. Hope they open one closer to us. read more

Was hungry while shopping and wandered into the massive food court. Many of the fast-food vendors were basically emptied except this Jollibee (so many customers awaiting for their food orders); The self order kiosk wasn't much help since food orders were not coming out fast enough. Waited for for 25mins for my Chicken bucket and finally got my purchased items. My order was missing napkins and other basic utensils, had to walk back to the counter several times (though counter staff was pretty friendly). My chicken bucket tasted okay- the gravy dip definitely help the flavor; and I loved my Mango and Ube pies. read more

The line is pretty long here as there are only 2 cashiers, but it moves in a timely fashion. We ordered six pieces fried chicken meal deal, ube and mango peach pies, and also the spaghetti and fries as the sides. Jollibee hits different when you are starving. I didn't have the mango peach pies this time, but I did have the ube pie and it was delicious. I feel like there's a huge market for fried chicken out there whether it's Korean fried chicken or Louisiana fried chicken, etc but this time it's Filipino fried chicken. They all taste so different. It was luckily not hard to find a spot to sit even though we were there over the weekend as there is ample seating in this mall. read more

Every time we go to American Dream, we have to come here bc my daughter loves Jollibee- me on the other hand, I'm not really a big fan + I think the NY locations taste better. We got the Jolly Spaghetti & OG flavor Chickenjoy meals, which comes with savory gravy, a biscuit & adobe rice as well as a pineapple quencher & peach mango pie. Mind you, the line is very long so be prepared to wait especially after 12 pm. The Jolly Spaghetti was good even though there were more sauce than spaghetti, adobo rice was bland, biscuit was soft & buttery, the chicken was juicy & flavorful but some of the outer parts had too much thick breading that was hard & inedible. The pineapple quencher was sweet & super refreshing- we liked it and the peach mango pie- deep-fried, crispy with a gooey filling Yum. Overall, enjoyable lunch :) read more

Just about every culture around the world has fried chicken, because fried chicken is goddamn delicious. I've been hearing about Jollibee, the fast, famed, Filipino entry into the world's fried chicken games for years, but I'd never had the pleasure until I set foot in the American Dream Mall. There's no question that this is the big draw in the food court. I would recommend heading over at least a half hour before you want to be eating, as there was a long line, and once we got to the front the staff warned us it was about a 20 minute wait for our orders. We weren't about to NOT get anything after waiting in line and smelling the chicken go out, so we got a big bucket of the original fried chicken, and a big bucket of the spicy korean barbecue. We also threw in an ube pie, and decidedly no spaghetti because it freaks me out. The fried chicken? Really, really tasty. Both the original and the KBBQ. The latter was spicy and so, so saucy...I actually preferred dipping my original in the leftover sauce at the bottom of the bucket. Anyway, if you are in the market for some fried chicken, this is where you want to be. We over-ordered, so I ate so much that it ended up being my only meal of the day. However, I imagine they use an unconscionable amount of salt, as I couldn't drink enough water for the next 24 hours. Life is full of tradeoffs though, and sometimes these things are worth it for fried chicken. read more

- There were plenty of open tables throughout the food court on a Sunday afternoon, but we lucked out and snagged one right in front of the iconic mascot - The line to order at the counter was slightly shorter than a typical Saturday crowd, but still much longer than most other vendors - We placed our order through the app and it was ready in about 10 minutes; be sure to ask for everything you need at pickup (utensils, napkins, plates, straws, etc) because flagging down a server during the nonstop rush can be a challenge - As always, the food quality was spot-on: hot, fresh, and juicy; it's Jollibee--'nuff said! read more

Really disappointing and not worth the nearly 45 minutes for my order. There was no sauce with the chicken and fries were cold. As much as I would have rather enjoyed eating here, my kids both got Wendy's and the fries were hot and so much better and significantly less money. Would not return. read more

The line for this location is long but try to order from the app. My order came before the estimated time on the app so I appreciate that, as I was very hungry. Ordered the 6 piece chicken lovejoy. It came with 6 pieces of chicken, 2 sides and 2 drinks. Everything was very hot. Chicken was juicy and gravy was a good complement. Fries were crispy. Spaghetti was also yummy. Pineapple quencher was not too sweet. It is food court mall seating so you have to find your own seating. There is additional seating if you go towards the skating rink. read more

My kids love anything that's chicken and fried. Between Popeyes and KFC. These guys are definitely much better. Their burgers are actually so good a lot like shake shack style.

Rude employees. One of them copped all sorts of attitude with me when all I wanted was a packet of ketchup. I'm supposed to wait in line behind 20 other people just to get one?

Out of all the food options at the American Dream mall, Jollibee has the longest wait line. This location doesn't have the full menu so I opted for the Limited menu - Korean flavored wings and drummy bucket. The line moved quickly so don't be scared when you show up and the line wraps all the way over to the ramen shop. After a short wait, I was told that the Korean flavored wings/drummy were sold out! Instead of getting a refund (and was super hungry at this point -130pm) i asked for spicy bucket. When I retrieved the order, one of the staff gave me a mango pie freebie and two extra wings! Wings/drummies were perfectly battered - no heavy battered where you cannot find meat BS, juicy and spicy! read more

I think Jollibee has the best fast food fried chicken. This location is inside of the American Dream mall which is clean and has a large seating area. Food came out pretty fast. The service is pretty standard. read more

Love love love Jolibee. Their fried chicken is probably the best of all the chains. The meat is never dry and always tender. The adoba rice to my surprise was very good, there's a Southeast Asia kind of flavor. The peach mango pie is a must have dessert. The crust is fried and blends perfectly with the hot peach and mango stuffing. Pineapple quencher has become one of my favorite drinks. This location is a little crazy though. It's always so busy and they run out of things which they have to make more. We were told the spicy chicken would take a while because they had to make them. The pineapple quencher was also out but didn't take long to make. Service is decent given how busy they are. It's in the main food court which is rather busy during meal times. If I drive all the way to the mall, I'm not sure if I want anything else but Jolibee. read more

First time trying it and disappointed a little bit. Fries were ok; nothing crazy. Chicken was crispy and tasted very natural compared to other fast food places, but I feel like some flavor was missing. I'm not a huge fan of gravy, so not having a signature sauce from the place was a huge let down. Overall, it's good but not the best in my opinion. read more

Jollibee - 3pc Chicken Tenders Meal Deal - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

After getting more feedback about this place, I decided to try again after a few years. I ordered six pieces of fried chicken with two side orders (some fried rice and spaghetti). The service was good and helpful, but this time, it was better. I like the spicy chicken. It was not dry like last time, and the dipping sauce for chicken works well, which I did not try previously. It's okay. I still prefer Popeye's for fried chicken, though. They still have a consistent long line. I will try here once in a while. If you have not tried Jollibee before, try it to see what you think about it. The ambiance was typical fast food, so not much to comment on. read more

My sister in law introduced me to Jollibee. I didn't think I would be impressed but I was. The chicken and fries were delicious. Coleslaw was also good. I wasn't too crazy about the gravy. The line was really long but once ordered the wait wasn't that long. It's in the food court which will always be loud and crowd but worth trying. read more

Jollibee - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

We came here on a Sunday night, so there were lots of people and not a lot of seating since you are in the middle of the food court. It took around 10 minutes for us to make it to the top of the line and order our food, and it then took another 15 to 20 minutes to get it which seems like a lot for a fast food place in my opinion, in the main three stars instead of four. I got their spicy chicken sandwich combo which came with fries and a drink. The fries were OK pretty solid, not a lot of seasoning but if they had a sauce to mix it with it'd be better. The chicken sandwich was pretty good, I like that it came with fresh jalapeño so when I bit it into them, they gave it a very nice flavor - I would've liked there to be more than two small ones since it didn't fully cover the sandwich but again, this is a fast food place so I understand that the standards are not as high. Overall, I may try a different Jollibee location that is a lot less crowded than this one. Their chicken sandwich is definitely better, in my opinion, than Popeyes and Chick-fil-A. read more

Who doesn't love jollibee? In my opinion, they have the best fried chicken.. best pineapple quencher, and best side.. adobo rice!!! So if you go with those it won't disappoint... Expect the line will be super long especially during peak hour (lunch time or dinner time).. but if you order before those rush hour you can order online and get pick up!! I would go back any day and any time to get their food.. and remember.. have to eat it fresh!!! And share with your friends!!! read more

As someone from Mass who never gets to eat Jollibee, I make it a point to go whenever I see one. This Jollibee is so busy all the time (as it is in the second biggest mall in America!!!) but the workers are all still very nice and helpful. The food came out a little slow, but that is to be expected when there are so many patrons. Jollibee's chicken and sides are unmatched!! My boyfriend and I got a two chicken sandwich and 2 sides deal to go for the drive back to Mass. I had my sandwich (yummy!) but at a gas station stop, I dropped his sandwich when reorganizing the car :(( I was so sad that I cried :((( Jollibee, pleaseeeee expand your locations to Mass!!! read more

Jollibee - Spicy Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

Ordered: 2pc Chickenjoy Meal Deal (~$12): 2pc chicken with gravy (spicy; thigh & leg), 1 regular side (mashed potatoes), 1 fountain drink (Diet Coke), and 1 Peach Mango Pie Aya's take: Another satisfying meal from Jollibee! I got to try the spicy chicken this time and it's even better than the original. It's not as spicy as it is seasoned, I would say. It has a slight kick but it's very mild and can even be toned down further with their highly addicting and savory gravy. The mashed potatoes were creamy and light; I found myself dipping the whole piece of chicken in it. The Peach Mango Pie had a great crust; it's sweet, slightly flaky, and crisp. The peach mango flavor is tart, acidic, and fruity. Very filling meal at a great price! read more

The shoestring fries are ok, but we expected something heartier or more flavorful to go along with the chicken. ube pie was ok. read more

Jollibee - Crispy chicken nuggets - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

The chicken is delicious but not worth the headache. As I'm currently writing this review, I've waited over 30 minutes for a simple 2 piece chicken + 1 side. The restaurant is chaotic with no organized system of always having a fresh batch of chicken available, which is their main item. There are a lot of staff squeezed to work in a small space and it's a dirty and claustrophobic environment. My 2 pieces of chicken were delicious: juicy on the inside with a crunchy skin and gravy sauce on the side. However, the side of fries it came with were warm instead of hot and had lost their crispiness. Also, this is not directly the fault of the staff, but a rude lady cut me while I was in the middle of ordering to interject about wanting to make adjustments to her own order. The cashier paused with me and tried to address this lady's request, when what he should have done is politely remind her that he was currently finishing up with serving me and would get to her afterwards. Overall, yes the chicken is good, but unless I have 30 minutes to kill on bad and slow service I'm going to Taco Bell instead. read more

Jollibee - 2 piece chicken joy - Fast Food Near Me - East Rutherford, New Jersey

I finally had the opportunity to try Jollibee for the first time in the States at the American Dream food court. I was curious if spicy chickenjoy lived up to the hype and how their Filipino spaghetti stacked up. I was not disappointed! We also tried the peach mango pie and coconut pineapple pies (I forced my husband to go halfsies with me). We both agreed that the coconut pineapple pie was the clear winner between the two! Btw, after you order and pay, you get a buzzer that will go off when your food is ready. The guys at the register and pick up counter were friendly. There is a drink dispenser to the left. read more

I've been wanting to try Jollibee again since my brother got takeout from the Manhattan location a few years ago, and I ate his leftovers. Haha! I remembered it being good, but I was a bit disappointed with this location. I ordered the 2pc Chicken with Jolly Spaghetti - Chickenjoy Meal Deal for $12.99, and the Peach Mango Pie for $2.99. Despite being dark meat pieces, the chicken was dry, so you needed to use the gravy just to give it more moisture. The spaghetti had pieces of sausage in it, and it was okay. I know that the sauce is on the sweeter side because it's hot they traditionally prepare it but was little too sweet for me. Fortunately, the peach mango pie was just as good as I remembered it to be. Crunchy flaky crust, with a nice hot gooey filling. If I get another chance, then I would like to try the Palabok Fiesta or just try the Manhattan location in the future. read more

Jollibee...need I say more for you to go? Without a shadddddow of a doubt, THE single most popular food court restaurant at American Dream. It's not even close. If you know Jollibee, then this mall location is no different than any of the other extremely popular locations anywhere across the country. If you don't know Jollibee, then you have to climb out from under that rock OR just google them :) The food - fried chicken with gravy, spaghetti, dessert pies - are as good as you'll find at any of their restaurants. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'll put their fried chicken up against Popeyes any day - THAT's how good it is. And, just like their stand-alone restaurants, there is going to be a longgggggg line on weekends as we encountered on the Saturday afternoon we came. Luckily for us, we ordered online via the app way ahead of time and came to pick up, so we didn't have to wait on the line to order like the many people who were aging before my very eyes. With that said, our order STILL wasn't ready on time and I found out why once I arrived - because the workers were churning out lots and lots of orders like it was the end of the world. Bottom line - you know what you're getting here if you've had Jollibee before. If you're a "Jollinewbie", be prepared to taste some of the best fast food you've ever had - and start with the fried chicken (must have that gravy on the side) and spaghetti. It'll change your life. Really, it will. Everything you thought you knew about the best fried chicken will go out the window. Lastly, make sure - and I cannot emphasize this enough - to order online for pickup so that you don't have to wait on that agonizingly long line during prime meal times! Other than that, ENJOY the Jolli-goodness. read more

I had never heard of Jollibee until I watched a food vlogger's review of this chain in the Philippines. I was intrigued enough to try one of the New Jersey locations as many of the menu items are that same as what are offered at its flagship location. For my first try, I chose the 2-piece chicken with biscuits and one side along with the peach-mango pie for dessert. To my surprise, the chicken was perfectly prepared, crispy, and absolutely delicious! Unlike other fried chicken establishments, the batter is not too salty, and is so yummy that I wouldn't mind if they sold a side of battered chicken skin. The chicken comes with a side of gravy their signature gravy. I am not someone who typically eats gravy, but it has a nice flavor. The biscuits are soft and buttery. I was glad that I chose two more biscuits as my "one side" options. My meal was enjoyable and better than expected. This location also has offers the Jolly spaghetti and Palabok which I am looking forward to trying next time. read more
