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,

Great people great atmosphere! It is real local so expect to enjoy reality. Everyone spoke Englishread more

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 are into comfort food, their grill is spot on. Enjoy a relaxing time chatting up with…read morefriends and colleagues here

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.

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

We were m so looking forward to our dinner! Even my friends who lives here in CEBU, were quiet and disgusted. I was quietly thinking is the Owner proud of this food? Because it's nasty and disgusting. Will never go back. I eat there every time I come to CEBU and this will be the last time. And they need to remove the old location from yelp. It's been gone 4 years ! The one we ate at is the location near waterfront hotel. Horrible food. Never again
