The Chicken Chain That Surprisingly Serves High-Quality Cheeseburgers With A Perfect Crust

It's not often that diners turn to a chicken chain in search of a good burger. There are plenty of prominent fast food spots with both offerings, but Tasting Table's research found an unlikely source for game-changing cheeseburgers. Jollibee may be defined by its aptly named Chickenjoy fried chicken dish, but another high-quality choice is its Angus Cheeseburger.

In our list of Jollibee menu items to buy (and to skip), the cheeseburger is a surprisingly reliable choice if you're looking for a smashburger-style meal. The writer also notes that the crave-worthy crust of the burger patty is likely inspired by the chicken chain's recent acquisition of the Smashburger brand. With its ideal combination of patty, cheese, and toppings (which include red onions and pickles inside a structurally sound, butter-toasted bun), it's clear that this Jollibee cheeseburger is a joy to eat.

Fan feedback for the chicken chain's cheeseburger echoes Tasting Table's praise. As one Redditor shared, "Even the burgers at Jollibee are delicious." Others raved about the high-quality burger, complimented the composition and ingredients, or called it their favorite burger in Los Angeles. They also recommended dipping the cheeseburger into Jollibee's signature gravy. Further down in the subreddit's comments, the OP followed up by saying, "Jollibee is consistently good. They have some unique sides, drinks and desserts that really distinguish them from other chicken joints."

Fanfare for Jollibee's Angus burger is all over Reddit and beyond. One Reddit commenter enthused, "Their Angus burger is top tier. Fries are good too, you can't have a good burger without some fries to match." Another user calls the chicken chain's Angus Cheeseburger "elite." Though not all fast food fans agree about the quality of the burger, most opinions regard the menu item as a solid choice.

In addition to its famed chicken and top-notch Angus Cheeseburger, Jollibee also boasts a number of other lively and delightful offerings. One of these is its Peach Mango Pie, which Tasting Table dubbed one of the best fast food bakery items. For those who enjoy a sweeter style of pasta, Jolly Spaghetti is made with banana ketchup, sliced hot dogs, and shredded cheese.

Fans also recommend the chicken chain's Pineapple Quencher drink to wash down your meal, as well as the Palabok Fiesta and Adobo Rice. The latter two are fast food versions of popular Filipino dishes, which can be a springboard for delving into more authentic varieties of new-to-you Filipino foods. Whether you're in the mood for mixing up your go-to chicken chain order by grabbing a cheeseburger, or want to explore even more new horizons, stopping by Jollibee will open up a wide world of possibilities.
