Popped in randomly for late lunch on New Year's Eve, the place was pretty much empty. Service was relatively quick and friendly, but the food wasn't anything memorable. Wanted to give this place a try since our friend's family owns it. I ordered the burger which wasn't terrible - I liked having an egg and bacon on it. But again, nothing memorable. Fries came out a bit soggy but I guess that's life sometimes. Overall, not a place I'd really recommend. Giving a rare 2-stars out of respect for the staff. read more

Casa Verde - American Near Me - Cebu City, CEB

I am half and half on this place. Their steaks taste good and is cooked properly however the ribs that on the menu stated is their best seller is not... It reminds me of the dish pata tim. The ribs are overcooked and dry, the calamari also have this rubbery thing that is so hard to bite off. I had their beef tacos and nachos. Sad to say i prefer the ones i find by the streets in cali. Seafood carbonara is on point. Now the steaks as i said are delicious but sadly no mashed potatoes. Alot of the fish stuff are not available either. Service is ok.

The foods are delicious esp the ribs. We dined in for dinner. Also ordered Tenderloin medium rare, shrimp and veges. Very accessible place as well, near Fuente Osmena circle. I was only surprised that staffs immediately take used dinewares even if you're still not finished eating. Overall, a well recommended place to go to. Average expenses per person is around 300-400 pesos. read more

MCIA branch: Ordered two items: Barbeque ribs- worst ribs ever!!! The meat was hard, overcooked, burnt, disguised by putting a lot of bbq sauce that was weirdly sweet. Ate only 10% of the ribs, had to look for the tender portions. And fish and chips - fish was not cooked. Also the worst fish and chips in my life. Never going back again, waste of time and money. read more

The original when I think of ribs and steak in Cebu, at least for me. This is where the Noel Family made their name in quality and service. Some say it's a TGIF, but to me it's vastly different. TGIF is an over-glorified restaurant that is ludicrous in their menu prices with what I consider to be subpar cuts of meat. Casa Verde excels where most other bbq joints in the greater Cebu area do not. Each time I visit the ancestral homeland, I always stop by here and grab a plate. This review is long overdue, a good 3 yrs since I've eaten there. I was just looking at photos and became nostalgic so decided to see if Casa Verde would appear on Yelp. Yes there are plenty of other places to get your BBQ fix in Cebu, but it's more "Asian Style" than western proper. Each have their nuances, for Casa Verde, it was that "American" portion of big, bold, and meaty. First time I came here was in 2008/9, I felt happy and intimidated by the copious amounts of meat I had shoved in my mouth. Fast forward to 2013, stopped by here again and waited it out in line. Monday night (photo date shows it to be a Monday) and for me it was not busy at all, rather surprised because in past experiences Casa Verde is always packed especially from Thur-Sat. Ms. Seattle ordered some type of salad (really?!) but I do recall that was quickly swapped as she proceeded to eat my steak and grilled shrimp. This was 3 yrs ago, but wading through past memories is always a good thing, especially when it pertains to good food. read more

If you're in Cebu and you're HANGRY, do yourself a favor and eat at Casa Verde! It's an American style casual dining restaurant. This branch is the original and was the ancestral home of the owners. The food is very affordable and the servings are HUGE (unless you can eat a 9-inch burger by yourself)! All the food they serve is good for sharing with friends. :) When my fiancee, brother and I ate here, we were accompanied by a local. So, he ordered for us the best of the best dishes. We had Brians Ribs aka the "Once you taste me, youll never forget me..." Ribs. It's hands down their best seller! Baked pork ribs with a sweet, tangy piquet sauce served with rice and a side corn and carrots. The meat was tender and falling off the bones. Of course, the boys wanted burgers and Casa Verde has BIIIG burgers! We ordered "The Big Bang Burger" - 9-inch burger topped with onions, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, American cheese on a sesame-seed bun. Yes, sharing recommended. :) If you think that's big, they have a BIGGER burger called "The Mighty Ton"! It's a kilo of our USDA tenderloin patty stuffed into their homemade 12-inch bun with 125 grams of bacon, an overload of american cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, sauteed onions and mushrooms. Plus, you have a choice of barbecue, cheese or sour cream fries. To go with your meat dishes, they also have appetizers and pasta. I skipped all that and went straight to their milkshake! They serve a very special milkshake called the "Milky Way." If you look at the photo I uploaded, it is, again, BIG! They claim it's "The Biggest Milkshake In Town!" It's basically a chocolate shake with lots of extra chocolate bits added in. Best served with their big bang burger! Note: You have to ask the server if the Milky Way is available because they have limited TALL glasses. I waited for mine. Took about 20 minutes. Worth the wait! In the end, we ended up bringing home a few ribs and half of the burger (except for the milkshake! I finished it :P) and had it for breakfast the next day. If you're heading to Cebu, try this place. They have a few branches now but, I enjoyed eating at the original location. Again, you Must Try their all time best-seller the Brian's Rib! :) read more

Two stars for being clean and well air conditioned. Being Keto we ordered steak and shrimp and also the chicken bacon and cheese. The steak we ordered as medium came a hare's breath from well done was tough and difficult to cut. It came with vegetable medley which we were told they were out of and would be substituted with corn and carrots. My chicken bacon cheese was served fajitas style, being on a keto diet I only ate the chicken bacon and cheese portion as it came with tortillas, cream cheese, bell pepper and lettuce. Service was very lacking, 20 minutes for service water, no refills, no checking on us as we watched locals around us get that service. It's a pity as Americans we tip based on service. read more

This is a good place for Cebu. As we all know food in the bane of the Philippines. Stick with the ribs.

Famous for thier steak, spare ribs, baby back ribs. Available as well all Cebu local dish and delicacies. Want to taste Cebu foods, this place is highly recommended. read more

Tonight I decided to dine at the Casa Verde in Ramos near the Crown Regency. I took my Girlfriend and her family. I wasn't very hungry and thought I would get something small, so I ordered a chocolate shake and was told it was not available. I proceed to order a few more things off the menu and was again told that each Item I was requesting was not available. After about the fourth item I asked to speak to the manager and was told he was not around. For me when you have items on the menu they should be accessible, the closing time is advertised till ten and we were there a little before nine. This place failed in all aspects for me. I expected much more. It was the last time I will eat here. I would like to give a better assessment of food quality but most items turned out to be not available. read more

I was not impressed with their service or their barbecue ribs. Their ribs were fatty and over cooked. I won't go back again.

I use to love this place, but like one of the reviewers i think the quality is declining. I still go coz its still better than most and is reasonably priced. Try the surf and turf it's my personal fave. Also the service is good, servers are very professional. read more

Giving them 4 stars because through out the years, I feel like the service and food has been declining in quality. The waiting time is ridiculous when its weekends and dinner time (even on weekdays). The portions are huge and they're still affordable so 4 stars for them. read more

Affordable, huge portions. Similar to Applebee's in the states. Service was good. Food was decent. Nothing outstanding to really rave about, or complain about. read more

Little suggestion: You should put a signages or a warning that your restaurant will stop serving foods at nine. This restaurant sucks when my order(chocolate shake) is NOT AVAILABLE. read more
