Edinburgh influencer hits out at '45 minute wait for chicken burger' at Jollibee

A popular Edinburgh food vlogger has taken to TikTok to leave a scathing review of a Princes Street restaurant.

TikTok account Top Scottish Scran posted a video of her disappointing experience at the newly opened Jollibee restaurant on Princes Street.

The woman, speaking in the video, sad she was “buzzing” to try the new branch of the Filipino brand, but as the video was titled “Sorry but this whole experience was a fail lol” the restaurant clearly did not impress."

She claims she ended up waiting 45 minutes to try two small items from the chicken fast food eatery.

When the items finally came they were not what she had ordered and despite asking twice she still did not get her correct order.

The video shows the underwhelming chicken burger that she ordered which was bare with just a slab of breaded chicken covered in mayonnaise in a bun which cost £4.49.

She added that she did order lettuce with it but it never came.

Some comments agreed with the video and others shared their experiences at the store that only opened in March this year.

One said: “I had the same experience…underwhelming, overpriced and slow service.”

Another said: “Yeah we experienced the same, my burger was missing lettuce, no drips that we ordered, no cutlery straws etc."

The account is followed by 22.4k people on the popular video app and regularly posts videos visiting food places around Scotland.

Rarely posting to tell followers to avoid somewhere, she posts restaurant recommendations for people to try in Edinburgh.

Jollibee’s on Princes Street only opened in February alongside another branch in Glasgow. This branch is part of their UK expansion plan after success in London.

The brand is hugely popular in the Philippines and is known for spicy chicken and tropical ice cream sundaes.

The opening in Edinburgh was a huge success in the first week with people queuing for hours to try it.

Jollibee has been contacted for comment.
