Definitely a MUST try in Cebu!…read more Matia's BBQ is a family style type of outdoor seating barbecue spot. You order a bunch of different meats, you get hanging rice, soy sauce/vinegar/spices, and enjoy for a reasonable price! My cousins suggested to get the mango shake because it's sweet and delicious, and they weren't wrong! I recommend getting bottled water or soda with your meal. My favorite was the red sausage!

My family said Matias was a must in Cebu, so naturally it was our first stop as soon as we arrived…read more We got there around 1:00 in the afternoon and it wasn't too crowded luckily. It seemed like a free for all, just grab what you want and give it to them to cook for you. Somehow they magically know which plate belongs to which table and they'll bring it out to you once everything is all cooked. Luckily I was with Matias experts so they knew all the ropes! Don't expect anything fancy, it's literally just some good ol fashioned home style bbq with classic vinegar and soy sauce. Everything was delicious but the chicken was probably my favorite. So tender! Don't forget the puso, or hanging rice either! Add on a mango shake, you won't regret it. We had almost a dozen different mango shakes during our stay in the Philippines and this one was easily in my top 3 favorites.

Best Native Chicken! [CEBU CITY Philippines]…read more When it comes to food, Cebu has a lot to offer. From savory lechon (roast pork) to sweet desserts Cebu is a foodie's paradise. But we have been eating some form of lechon since we arrived on New Year's Day so I was getting tired of it LoL! just a little. I ordered grilled chicken instead. Conching's is famous for one thing: their charcoal-grilled native chicken. What is a native chicken? They are more commonly raised in rural areas, cage-free. They are smaller in size than the regular chicken, it's because of their organic diet. Both its size and diet make these native chicken unique and more natural in taste. We ordered two servings and it didn't disappoint. So delicious, salted just right and the skin is crunchy. Setting looks rundown, nothing fancy with long tables and plastic chairs and a grill out front. Very laid back. Live music entertained the diners... young adults with music instruments. I was amused. Filipinos love to sing. LoL!Friendly service. I just didn't like the flies... we had to keep swatting them so they don't go on our food. Review #3349

Visiting Cebu City - my girlfriend raved about the Native Chicken and that we had to try it - so…read moreupon arriving in Cebu City my gf's cousin took us here... Not sure what authentic should feel like but this restaurant felt authentic considering I was the only foreigner there... One of the waiters is an interesting one - done up in a lot of make up and apparently very flirtatious and seems like he's a staple of the restaurant per their Facebook page... Anyway the native chicken cooked on these little grills but the chicken themselves are tiny - you probably need about one chicken a person. They have a lot of other grilled and friend foods including various fish - milkfish was the only one I recognized. We also tried the ceviche (local name I don't remember) but extremely good!! You should also try the puso which are the individually packaged rice which are local to cebu.... Very cool place and recommended if visiting,

When your foods ready they bring it to you, I usually don't eat pork but their pork belly was SO good I couldn't help it, we also got hot dogs and pork on a stick and grilled chicken. The grilled chicken was good but it can be a little dry without the sauce. Everything else was really good as well as the atmosphere, and the vibe. If you are around it park you definitely need to try it!

This is a homegrown favorite as far as i know. The original location is in the Capitol area, but…read moreI've heard about this place for about the last two years and now they were clever enough to open a location in it park. The setup seems simple, big open space and barbecue area on corner. They were also clever to isolate the barbecue area like a smoking room so you don't smell like barbecue after a meal. It has to be in the sauce or choice of meat since it visually looks the same except for the saice they use which is dark black ad opposed to the typical bright red. But despite the plenty of barbecue places om cebu this place seems to be popular and becoming a neighborhood favorite.

Well the food is good cause the taste is better and atmosphere is not bad you smell the barbecue…read moreright away

Yakski barbecue is a really cool outdoor space, where you can eat and drink!…read more My friend and I came around 7pm, we waited in front and got to see all the meats they had and placed our order. all the good stuff like the chicken heart, tuna belly and liver were sold out for the day, so we ended up getting the chicken thigh, chicken breast, chorizo, pork skewer, and ribs I believe. As we waited for them to grill our food, we picked a table and the waitress came over and took our order for rice and beverages. About 10-15 minutes later we have our rice and bbq meats! The meats were tender and fell off the bone, they were perfectly cooked! The bbq sauces were delicious , it had a nice sweet Smokey taste. We literally spent about $15 for everything. This place is a must try if you're around.

If you come as a group and order individually, they can bring food to only one person first, leaving others having to stare at the lucky one. Or they can bring the main dish before the soup or appetizer. And even desert before the main meal. They don't know that the drinks should be served first, so expect your drinks when you are finishing your meal. They waiters are nice and eager to help, but I think the lack of proper training brings the rep of this restaurant down.
