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.

Hamburgers are very delicious…read more I recently had one of the best burger experiences I can remember. 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.

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.

It appears that the post pandemic era has compelled it to relocate to a smaller space and lean out its menu offerings. Having said this it's still a five star rating for me because the food is great and everything they have on their much smaller menu now are items they do well with short waiting times even when they are super busy. The ambiance is good and service is exceptional. I rate this with an outperform with return visits a must.

The moment you enter this restaurant, you are greeted with the neon sign, "Long Live Bacon." You…read moreknow what that means? Yes, they put bacon on everything. Sinful but worth every calorie! Plus, who doesn't love Bacon? Seriously. The place is small and cramped. There are a couple of high stools and three small tables under the "Long Live Bacon" sign. If you need to use the comfort room, you have to enter the secret room called ABV. It's a speakeasy and I will definitely talk about it more in another review. The food here is perfect for after a long night of drinking with friends. They offer a breakfast menu where you can customize your own plate. Want a bacon and egg sandwich made with 2 waffles? Go for it! But, in my opinion, the definite Must Try here are their Hotdogs! All their hotdogs are bacon-wrapped and deep fried! YUM! I recommend the Chili Dog (Php220) and the Kimchi Dog (Php190). Next time, I will have to try their Tater Bombs (bacon-wrapped potato tots)! But, it's always sold out when I arrive! Huhu! I can't wait to see what Lazy Bastard will "baconify" next! :D

I heard about hotdogs sold at Php 100 but never at these prices. My siblings and I decided to be adventurous and tried their hotdogs anyway. It was in Jupiter street and we found parking around the area. We saw their big sign that said "Bacon & Burgers this way". When I took a bite of their hotdog, I was enlightened. I tasted the hotdog sandwich's full potential. I experienced Lazy Bastard's BACON WRAPPED hotdog in a bun and topped with a load of toppings. I particularly found their Con carne and parmesan hotdog sandwich to be their bestest. On my next visit, I'm planning to try their AVOCADOG. On the other hand, I found their burger to be okay.

One night, we passed by it and saw that we beat everyone out of their offices and got to the area early. We parked immediately and soaked the glory in for a bit before entering. I personally liked the feel of the place because it was casual but homey at the same time, without being cheesy. With statement posters adorning the walls and chalkboards advertising their specials, I knew I was going to like it here. We decided to share an order of their super duo which had ribs for two and a choice of two side dishes. I was happy to see that they offered spinach as a siding so I got that, while my dad ordered their spiced rice. Goodness gracious, it was good! The meat was tender, almost falling off the bone and their sauce is really good, a good balance of tangy, sweet and smokey flavor. While my Dad got their brewed iced tea, as drink and dessert, I got their chocolate shake which I enjoyed not just because of the taste, but also because of the candy sprinkles and marshmallow toppings. I wouldn't mind a good rub and ribs at Rub Ribs anytime soon.

First of all, the service was amazing. The restaurant was packed but everyone was on their toes. But it's newly opened so I wonder if they can sustain it for the rest of their stay here. The food was a hit and miss. We ordered the classics/menu staples just to see how they fared. Here's a rundown: The Lime Chicken was great but the portions were a bit off; Don't order the Loaded Potatoes! they had no taste. it's not worth it; It was hard to imagine how they could mess up on the Thai Salad but it lacked dressing (you could get more though!); The drinks (Sangria, Margarita) were just AMAZING; The Honey BBQ on Boneless Chicken Bites were GREAT and their Cheese Quesadilla tastes better with salsa verde (free to get!) The wait for a table is long because it's newly opened and it's a bit pricey, but definitely worth trying at least once!

Boneless Buffalo Wild Wings and Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad were equally tasty but I'm more on the first one for the spice and bleu cheese. Crispy Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers was my top choice. I used to order crispers plain with honey mustard but this one is special and I haven't tasted this at any other restaurant. Chili's has many food choices but this stands tall for my last visit. SERVICE And now for the grand finale...Service! One of my crispers was seemingly raw dead center but I asked Mac for some clarity. He agreed and had the entire dish changed without hesitation. Later, he was kind enough to give a heads-up that it would take give minutes. Meanwhile, he gave us a complimentary cup of queso, refilling our tostada chips altogether; such a kind gesture! I must add, we were relentless with that very tasty dip! Water refills were proactively served. Mac and his staff nailed it; terrific customer service! And to end this with a bang, our takeout came with an unexpected bag loaded with Tostada Chips! :)
