We first tried Filipino restaurant Jollibee back in 2016. Since then, its been a fast food favorite of ours.

After our first visit, a location opened in New York City with a more limited menu. On the way to the NY Times Travel Show, Lucas and I stopped in to enjoy a meal of Chickenjoy and Jolly Spaghetti.

We’ve been back to the Queens location a bunch of times and have also stopped by a location in Jersey City where we tried their excellent chicken sandwich.

Here’s some awesome news for those of you in the New York City area.

Jollibee is set to open its flagship location in Times Square on August 18, 2022!

The location will be pretty spacious at 7,000 square feet. Besides the usual (awesome) menu items, Eater mentions that , “The flagship will also serve new items, including a double cheeseburger, biscuits, and baked mac and cheese“.

The new location will be located at  1500 Broadway, between West 43rd and 44th streets.

We’ll be away until the end of August, but I hope to visit soon after we get home.
