My sister's medium boneless ribeye came out more rare than my medium rare and she finally had to settle for ribs! Which were actually edible. Biggest problem was the cutlery! The serrated steak knives were so dull and bent, you couldn't even cut a tender steak if you got one. If you can't even give your customers a decent knife, don't complain when they send back a steak. I give the manager credit for apologizing and doing what she could but Expats beware. If you're craving a good steak, save your $ and go to Wolfgang's. I understand that things are different here in the PI. I'm amazed that there is so much variety among restaurants. But it is not the fault of the locals when the restaurant company gives them cheap tools and products just to cut costs! Bad cooking is something else, though. A horrible experience at a Mesa restaurant actually made my wife go back in the kitchen and show the chef in training how to make adobo! Overall, I love the PI and the local cuisine. I think I'll stick to the chain restaurants that I know for certain are consistent.

As a tourist I avoided American franchise food. I can eat that at home. However, the in-laws wanted…read moreAmerican cuisine. Denny's it is then! Ambiance was as American as a Denny's in America's heartland. They even had American country, John Denver, and classic rock, Meat Loaf, playing on the Muzak. I ordered my Denny's standby, ham n cheese omelette. I was in for a surprise. Upon arrival a plate with a plain omelette was set in front of me. On the sides were two dishes of chopped cheddar and chopped ham! I explained to the waitress how a Denny's ham n cheese omelette was made. She took it back. They then cooked fresh eggs, layered in the chopped ham, then cheese. Melted just right, folded it, placed it on a clean plate, and served it to me. Delicious. On my next trip I'll check if they still know how. .

But I still do have a social life you know, which is why I'm thankful to have friends who understand when I'm down and broke. When this happens, Chili's is the obvious choice. Not for their great tasting burgers, not for their quesadillas and not even for their mojitos. Chili's is the obvious choice for their unlimited nachos! Unlimited nachos is actually the best thing ever. I remember there was a time when my dinner group of 4 ordered just that and nothing else. We stayed there for more than 3 hours while we happily downed cold water for drinks. Nothing can really get in the way of saving for that adorable bag, so thank god for unlimited nachos. For good old American food, Chili's is always the best choice.

There's something about Chili's that makes it the perfect place for family gatherings. Its meals…read moreare usually for sharing and they have a wide selection of dishes to choose from so it's nearly impossible for anyone to get sick of this place. This restaurant also has a nice interior with its Southwestern theme. It's not everyday that you get a taste of Southwestern food here in the Philippines. Everytime I go here for lunch with my friends or family, I end up ordering their bottomless Tostada chips served with their tasty and flavorful house-made salsa. For additional dips, you can pay for their Ranch dressing and Queso. For my main course, I often have their Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which has crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, and their to-die-for honey mustard dressing. If you want something sweet after the main course, you can have their Molten Chocolate Cake, which is shaped just like a volcano. A look of this delectably delicious cake would make you drool. It might be a little bit pricey for some of us, but sometimes you have to pay money for good food!

Great service. My server was named Jobs, he did a great job…read more Steak was cooked correctly. My only gripe is the serving sizes of the sides. Could be better. The ambiance doesn't match the price or quality of the food either. Overall it was good tho.

Friends wanted to take us out to try some Prime steak in Manila so why not! A bit of a surprise for the food here. We came with a big group of friends so ordered a variety of plates to share. The Dry-aged bone in steak was decent quality for APAC, but the star here was the truffle cream pasta dish! Like a lot of recommendations from others, the cream pasta is packed full of umami flavors and done just right. The purple rice here was also notably good. Overall a decent mall dining experience. I think I've come to the conclusion that in SEA/APAC a lot of good restaurants and dining experiences are mall centric.

No words can adequately describe how happy I was when I took that first bite…read more You've probably already passed this place at one point or another but missed it, unfortunately. I know I have and I pass by that area a lot and wouldn't have thought that such a place stood there. One of the hidden gems in Cubao. Two of my foodie friends invited me to have lunch there and of course I wanted to try it out for myself and see if it'll live up to the hype. By hype I mean the stories of how much they love it. The meat falls off the bone, it melts in your mouth and you'd think you died and went to carnivore heaven. It's so good! AND it can do with or without the sauce which is great since it doesn't rely on it to be amazing. I loved it so much that I wanted the home buddies to try so I ordered a half rack to go thinking they'd just TRY and sure enough they finished it right away and were already asking when we're going there. You should visit them when you're in the area, hey, even if you're not anywhere near. It's worth braving the traffic of Metro Manila over.

The patty was perfectly cooked -- juicy on the inside with a slight char on the outside that added just the right amount of smokiness. The bun was soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without falling apart, and had a slight sweetness that complemented the savory flavors.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this Denny's yet! We've been coming here for breakfast, and…read moresometimes dinner since 2024, this time of year for our mission work. Eastwood is our home base and Denny's is our favorite shop for breakfast. There is no Denny's in the U.S. like Denny's Eastwood!!! Here, it is not a dumpy restaurant like the brand in the U.S. Yes, they are open 24/7, but that's where the similarity ends. The Filipino breakfast entrees are so creative and deliciously cooked. The pastries are also made from local Filipino fruits and root crops. The chefs are mindful of presentation, as if this was a fine dining restaurant. Even the slice of Ube Overload cake is on a black slate slab! It is the only place where we can bring fresh Philippine mangoes and have them sliced open, as the fruit is not on their fruits platter menu. The staff is friendly and quick, and they keep the restaurant clean. Our favorite is the night manager, Kis, a well-poised, always smiling young lady who runs her shift like a tight ship. She is actually in her last weeks of working here due to health reasons. We will miss her when we come back in 2027 and beyond.

We took our chances at going inside and sampling Buffalo Bro's mainly because of how the sign looked - hip and edgy without being overwhelmingly pretentious. Naturally, we were attracted. Upon entering, we were at awe seeing the chalk artworks adorning the walls. My friend and I, being on a food tour, just got an order of their sweet ribs platter with a siding or macaroni and cheese plus an upgrade to dirty rice. Boy, were we so happy! The macaroni and cheese was yummy and buttery, with the pasta cooked al dente. The dirty rice was the perfect complement to the indeed sweet ribs that were so tender, there was no need for us to use our knives. Hopefully I can come back soon and bring my Dad along with me as I'm sure he'll love it here. With that happening, we'll probably go to the area more often.

I was never a fan of chicken wings. They always seemed like scraps than a full meal. What could you…read moredo with wings, right? However, thanks to a certain someone (you know who you are and I blame you entirely), I ended up developing a taste for wings. Turns out they're pretty good when done right... and man, do these guys do their wings right. They've got enough flavor, they aren't dry and there's this barest hint of a crunch in the skin. Wonderful wings. And their ribs. They're fall off the bone tender and very flavorful. Couple that with their sides and their rice (can someone say awesome mac n' cheese?)... you have a perfectly filling meal for under 300php. Really, 220php for ribs? Where are you gonna find 200 peso ribs that aren't cardboard?! Then there are equally great burgers and sandwiches... there are just a lot of things on the menu I could gush about forever. Definitely a great place to go no matter what meal needs to be fulfilled.

GIRL AKO OKAY NA SA TURON AT ICE TUBIG Para sa fans ng chicken wings and steaks, I found the place for you! (Syempre ako yung bida bigla ano) Go kayo at Blake's Wings & Steaks in Marikina City! Obviously, they offer wings and steaks (try their Porterhouse Steak baby) pero meron din naman silang salad, sandwich, pasta, different sides and some desserts. Hindi pa masyadong malawak (parang hacienda lang eh hahaha) yung menu nila pero basta kumakain ka ng steak at wings (baka lumipad ka teh) solved ka na dito! Limited lang yung parking slots (3 or 4 na sasakyan lang ata) and it's a little bit pricey for me (yung rice around P40-P50 na). But if you're looking for a new place to try with your friends or family, okay naman dito. Hindi lang siya yung pupuntahan ko madalas (price issue) but the taste ng food naman is good!

Torch is a restaurant that offers food from various cuisines. They have steaks, burgers, sushi,…read morepizza, even ramen! Aaaaand their food is sooooo good! My favorite, the Salpicao Medallion, is expertly made with meat that is tender and perfectly seasoned. Their Chicken Yakitori is also a wonder. Just imagine grilled chicken wrapped in bacon and served with rice that's just as flavorful as the chicken. I also love their Smoked Salmon Truffle Sushi! The truffle may be a little overpowering in taste but there's still that hint of smoked salmon that immediately makes me grab another piece. For dessert, you can try their Bread Pudding which isn't overly sweet but still delicious. This is definitely one of the places I'd never put to the torch (get it?).

Torch meat is so good!!…read more And pizza. And sushi. And salad. I honestly don't know how to qualify the cuisine of Torch but to be safe, I'd say it's an Americanized everything. Haha. They've got some Japanese, Italian, Filipino/Spanish... But the common denominator is they're all good and rich. The Salpicao Medallion, Spicy Tuna Tartare, Gambas Pizza, Prosciutto Pizza, and Cream Cheese Salmon Roll are just some of my top picks! Everything's seasoned and cooked really well. Expect a really tasty, satisfying meal when you eat here. The place just gets a little stuffy, especially when all the "torched" meat dishes are served on the tables, because the smoke just goes everywhere. They really need to improve on their ventilation, but the fact that people keep eating there regardless should show how decent the place is. Definitely a reliable choice for group dinners, whether with family or friends 'cause there's something for everybody.
