The place has a very unassuming façade which looks more like a garage than a restaurant. But once you're inside, you will be surprised to find that the place is huge and is full of collectible vintage items. It really is amazing, from the vinyl records to the old plate numbers to the old movie posters, there's just so much to see in there. But it isn't just a place to visit for the décor. They have amazing food as well. So I'm just going to get this out there: Their nachos are the bomb! I've had nachos in big fancy restaurants, but they don't even compare to what Fat Frank's has to offer. It has meat. It has cheese. It has sour cream. It has salsa. It has jalapenos. It has all the good things you want in a huge order of nachos. If you're looking for a great date place where you can save money (but really don't want to look cheap), this is it. Just fill up on the nachos and their creamy, lovely milkshakes and you're pretty much set. An order of entrée is just icing on the cake...trust me, by the time you get to the main dish, you're already full. I highly recommend Fat Frank's to anyone into the American Diner feel and taste.

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.

If you crave for quiet time, which you can't get in mainstream cafés, Carpe Diem is the perfect…read moreplace for you. They have a sufficient amount of plugs for your gadgets and free wi-fi - just what you need for your me time or study time. Aside from this, the café also serves great coffee and food. If you're coming with a big group just be sure to patient enough 'cos it may take awhile before they serve your orders. When I first dined here, I wasn't expecting much 'cos I've never heard that much about their food. Surprisingly, I loved their Chicken Teriyaki Rice. It has the right amount of sweetness and there's a generous amount of chicken. It reminds me of the Takaw Rice in Charbroiled. The café is a bit small so I won't recommend it for big groups.

They're Seasoned, thin-cut, crispy, zesty fries! Yum. Something I like more than their fries, is their Onion Rings which I usually dip in their very own spicy garlic sauce! I usually order either their fries, or the onion rings with the best brewed iced tea ever.. their LIBERTY Iced tea. Army Navy surprised me with how good their Tortilla Soup! It has a kick of Jalapeno, and a lot of tomato goodness! Another amazing dish of theirs is the Queridia Mia Verde which is an open faced quesadilla packed with mozarrella cheese, cheddar cheese, green bell pepper, onions, jalapeno, tomatoes, cilantro, guacamole, and sour cream.... What is this awesome sorcery???!!! Actually, Army Navy is really known for their burritos too, and the best one for me, being the breakfast person that I am, is their Breakfast Burrito (beef, hashbrown and Scrambled eggs)... Okay, so this review has gotten my tummy rumbling.

Army Navy is probably the go-to place of most Pinoys for their Tex-Mex cravings…read more It's one of those no-frills diner that my family frequents when we're too hungry to argue on where to eat. This wins by default, but always with good reason. They're the best! I'm just really intrigued why they made their counters like that. It's so hard to communicate. But that's just me. Being a creature of habit, I always end up going for their steak burrito. That handful mix of Spanish rice, meat, beans, onions and sour cream (yum!) is great on its own, but put guacamole in it and it's phenomenal. The burrito is quite big and really filling so I usually eat the first half when I'm there and save the remaining half when I get hungry at home. I can eat all of it in one sitting, but I might not be able to participate in devouring the Blueberry Freedom Toast that is our dessert. I may always order burrito, but I also always take a bite from my siblings' orders so I know that their quesadilla is sinfully cheesy, and their fried chicken leans a bit on the spicy side. My brother's favorite breakfast burrito is also habit-forming. Still, I'm making a mental note to try more items on their menu (like the milkshake and nachos) on my next visit.

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.

As an American from California on vacation in the Philippines, I sometimes find it hard to find…read morefood that I'm comfortable eating. Unlike most if not all Filipinos I know, I do not need or eat rice with every meal, so I tend to go for burgers, sandwiches and such. I've been eating at McDonalds & Burger King and although it is familiar and enjoyable, I must say at this point of my vacation it's getting old. I stumbled upon Charlie's and had a delicious breakfast. So I went back there again to try more of their menu. I'm so glad I did because they have many dishes that will satisfy someone with similar tastes as I do. (and if rice is your thing, they have it and you can have it with your meal) Next time I'm staying in Clark, I will come back again for sure. By the way, they have excellent coffee & desserts.

It was the younger of my two daughters who alerted us about this new place that served breakfast…read moremeals all day. It's called The Wicked Waffle, she told us, and she added that she had tried it out one time and enjoyed it. We should go, she said, and that's exactly what we did not too long ago. With such a name, I safely presumed that this place would serve waffles. Actually, the place serves all kinds of breakfast grub. Since I work extremely odd work hours -- my main employer is based in the States and I have to follow US West Coast time a couple of days a week -- I welcome the thought of having a really heavy breakfast just before or right after a hard day's work. Also, because I've always considered breakfast as my favorite meal of the day, having it anytime is a terrific plus. One thing though: I think a place like this would succeed if it were located near a call center. Unfortunately, there aren't any in our neck of the woods. Still, there are probably a lot of people like me who hanker for breakfast foods at any hour of the day. It's good to have a place like this in Better Living.

Possibly among…read morethe best salsas I've had (though it would be amazing if mango salsa will happen in the near future, too). Though, this 'moderno' Mexican establishment ~shockingly~ has no guacamole (I really do not understand...! But the staff has taken in our suggestion to add some guac because um... do I need to explain?!). They are just on their third day though, so I'm sure a lot of changes/improvements are bound to take place! But yes, this place is promising and is currently setting the bar high for future food establishments in Betterliving (or rather bleh-tterliving in terms of restaurant choices...). Here in the village it's quite rare to see these types of more 'put-together' restaurants who bother with interior design and ambience, so I'm glad Taqueria 101 has arrived. It's good to know that they're also very kind to vegans and will accommodate special requests the best they can. Certain items can be veganized (i.e. squash flowers & mushroom taco, taco salad, nachos)--just ask them to sub all the dairy and remove the meat, and you should be fine!
