the
THIS JOINT IS OPEN 24/7
If you plan to visit... best to do it during the afternoons, as the locals (peeps from cubao or the area) come here for their dinndinn
there arent any places to tie your bike to, so best eat at the tables outside
out of 10 i would give this joint a 6
the food is alright..
them chicken fingers. were HUGE!! and it aint all white meat,
the pasta is al dente. and their sauce wasnt too sweet.. not a fan of spaketchup
the crew all smiled, and will chat with you.
the blue lemonade. is served blended with ice, so it looks like a slurrpy. (Bring some whte tequilla make it FUN)
a friend said that the burger patty was abit tough.
this maybe due to them pre frying them patties in the afternoon... to keep up with the demand for the customers that arrive after 6:00 pm
my only Gripe is that the burgers though they are huge, they need to be cooked or kept in a heating pan... since they pre cooked them they seem to pre cook it for a short time, so when it gets to you, the patty didnt even melt the cheese
but the other orders are properlyy cooked, so complaints there
that's it for this review
