I had California sandwich with grilled chicken. The chicken had the life cooked out of it and somehow managed to eat it but was not a great moment in cuisine. The dirty fries on other hand were good.

I opted on the cheddar bay biscuit, got my man the cornbread, got the Oreo for my son, Cinnamon Toast Crunch for my daughter, and my niece also got the Oreo. Each one SLAPPED!!!! The chicken was also generously portioned and well seasoned. They did not disappoint. I enjoyed the art they selected in the building. They also had a couple humorous signs at the entry that make the place feel very chill and laid back. I'm looking forward to going back.

My friend was super excited to try this spot, he said he had met the owner before and he was super…read morenice and who doesn't like chicken and waffles?!! He had the Blueberry waffles and chicken and I had the Southern Cornbread and spicy chicken. The food was good, the chicken was moist and truly spicy!! The service was TERRIBLE! The girl that took our order was not happy to be there AT ALL! We stepped up to the counter to order, forget asking any questions. You could not understand what even her question of dipping sauce or original or spicy was. Not in a language barrier way but she was basically whispering in a way to not engage. It seemed like there was a steady stream of customers so for the owner that is nice, I am glad for that but I wouldn't run back due to the very unfriendly service.

I've been here a few times to this location to attest that the fried chicken is delicious!…read moreIt's right next to the Tacoma Mall (literally on the corner). Parking is shared with the mall parking lot; easy to find when it's not busy, but can be challenging to maneuver when it does get busy. Seems like there is just one entrance at the front to the store, where the line is set up from the door so it doesn't feel like there is much room, especially if you're ordering takeout and have to wait for your order. I like to order ahead with the Jollibee app since it offers rewards with a points system and also to limit social interactions. My order is usually ready by the time I arrive, so no complaints there. What's great about Jollibee fried chicken is that it's fried perfectly, even when it's not fresh. I'm not going to question the magic behind it, I will just say it tastes crispy and yummy and tastes great with rice or the gravy that it comes with. The portions are fair for the price. My pre-teen son likes their spicy chicken sandwich; for the "spice," it comes with Sriracha mayo and jalapeños but we usually exclude the jalapeños. The chicken tenders taste a bit mediocre and chewy for me, so probably won't order that again. When it comes to sides, the mashed potatoes and the spaghetti is good! The spaghetti is a bit on the sweeter side for me, but I like all the ingredients mixed into it. I can taste some meat (beef or sausage?) and cheese. I tried it for the first time yesterday and might order it again. I haven't tried the fries here since the pics don't look all that impressive to me. You can't go wrong with the dessert pies if you're craving something sweet. They do have the ube pie here and the peach mango pie. Drink options are fairly limited though.. I mean, you have your classic soda options but the only specialty drink they offer is their pineapple quencher drink. I was expecting this location to offer similar drink options compared to the Mack Rd/South Sac location in California (I frequented that location when I lived there but recently moved to Washington). They had a coconut dream freeze and lychee iced tea and other drink options I really enjoyed, but there's nothing like that at this location. Hence the 4 stars since I'm mainly just coming here for the fried chicken. Another reason is because some items appear out of stock. I wad able to order adobo rice for my previous visit a few weeks ago but when I went earlier this week, that option wasn't available on the app (which was why I decided to try out the spaghetti). They currently are doing a limited time collab with Final Fantasy XIV where you can get an exclusive "Eat Chicken" emote with purchase of the FFXIV box meal or 6 pc bucket bundle, but personally, I feel that it's overpriced and you're paying about $7 for the emote. If you haven't had Jollibee before, I'd recommend trying their chicken at least once. Definitely better quality than Popeyes and KFC (with the exception of the chicken tenders).

Wow. Great tasting chicken, awesome biscuits and excellent choice of sides. Friendly clean and…read moregreat experience all around. We had the 2 piece chicken with side, drink and pie for $14. We had more than enough food for two women. The rice and mashed potatoes were well made and flavorful. The biscuits out of this world and I did not miss the American style butter and jam add. But the chicken! Wonderful! And I usually go to a Korean chicken place but this is now in my to places for the best chicken. Pro tip: Don't want pie?

Sad to say, I took no pictures. Once I sat down to eat, I basically inhaled it. I ordered the spicy chicken tenders combo which came with a roll and I ordered the mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken tenders were crisp and had a nice heat to it. Not too spicy. The roll is consistently so good. One never feels like enough but I know if I order an extra it wouldn't leave me with that wanting more feel. This time was the first time I've ever tried the mashed potatoes and gravy. I really enjoyed it to the point where it's my new favorite side. The potato was creamy and smooth with the perfect amount of gravy. I thoroughly enjoyed how there was black pepper in the potatoes.

I am so happy that I gave this location another chance to impress me. Since my last visit three…read moreyears ago, a lot has changed. This location has gone through a management change. Furthermore, the service has dramatically improved. The service is focused on the needs of the customer. The food is now fresh, tasty, and hot. The fried chicken tasted like it was homemade. Clearly they have devoted themselves to following the original recipes of the founder. The ambiance consists of cleanliness even in the restroom. If you have not been to this location, or if you have not visited for a while, I recommend you do so. The new direction is refreshingly good and the food is too!

Brown and wilted greens topped with a 1/4 cup each of chopped celery, raw onion, mushy chopped tomatoes, and coarsely chopped chunks of carrot. Who puts celery and raw onion on a green salad? It's like the chef rummage around in the fridge to find some kind of vegetables to throw on top of yesterday's lettuce. The atmosphere is terrible. We sat outside in the back because it was a nice evening. The area was in the process of being demoed for construction. Torn up broken pieces of lumber everywhere. I remember thinking when I sat down, "Is this a joke? " There were ashtrays on the tables. People smoking cigarettes. I don't even know if that's legal. Then they started a poker game? The clientele was kind of rough looking also. We will not be back.

Today, as soon as I pulled up to the drive thru, I was met by Nathan, who was very friendly and had great customer service from the very beginning! I appreciate the kind service and smile! He made sure my order was correct, asked if I needed anything else, put honey, butter and napkins in my bag and handed me my order. It may seem like the little things that people expect, but in my opinion this saved a Popeyes customer. Thanks Nathan!

Definitely a let down. I tasted some fries that my friend got and those were very solid. Employees were friendly, and the restaurant seemed clean, but not the most pleasant. The booths were very old and cracked, decor was pretty unappealing, and it just seems like all the decor and ambiance needs to be revamped. It all seems pretty old. That doesn't make or break my personal experience, but it's something to note. I'd definitely come back here, maybe just sticking to drive thru and not getting the coleslaw. Sandwich was great though!

Straight cuts back-to-back. Whoever had control of the music understood the assignment. The atmosphere was chill, welcoming, and just had that cool, laid-back energy. The customer service was amazing as well. The lady at the front greeted us with such great energy that it instantly set the tone for our visit. Now let's get to the food. I had the catfish with collard greens, black-eyed peas and rice, plus white bread. My best friend had cod with mac n yams, red beans and rice, and cornbread. The sides actually came out before the entrée, and we were so hungry that we completely forgot about taking pictures of everything. The food was definitely giving comfort-food energy and was top tier overall. The catfish? Whew, so bomb and full of flavor. Oh and let's not forget the homemade tartar sauce. If I had one small critique, some dishes leaned a little more on the salty side for our preference, but not enough to stop us from coming back. We were actually too full to even try dessert, and now it's officially on our to-do list for the next visit. Overall: good food, good vibes, good music, and great customer service. We'll definitely be back.
