Rodeo Grill is a grill restaurant chain from Cebu. As the name implies, the theme of the restaurant is "cowboys". The tables, the chairs, the cups, and even the staff uniforms all evoke the wild west theme.We got to try the Cebu Lechon that they are famous for, as well as their Arkansas Tender Ribs, Sgt. Pepper Steak, Crispy Hay (noodles), etc...Their Cebu Lechon is really affordable at P299 for a half kilo order! The lechon skin doesn't have a thick layer of fat. Cebu Lechon usually doesn't need any lechon sauce, and none was served. Taste-wise, I think the lechon could have used a little more seasoning, but at P299 for a half kilo order, I am not complaining. For P299, the lechon is good value.Their bestsellers also include their Arkansas Tender Ribs (P269 for the Man size) and their Sgt. Pepper Steak. Both of these can also be ordered in a smaller Girl size.Rodeo Grill is very "koboy", meaning "no frills" or "anything goes / not picky". The food is average, not bad, but nothing to write home about. I think I Just maybe expected too much assuming that since it was imported to Metro Manila from Cebu, that it would be Cebu's best. It is, however, VERY AFFORDABLE for a grill restaurant chain.Rodeo Grill does have a saving grace - their Tortang Talong is really good! Unfortunately, I missed taking a picture. If you try Rodeo Grill, make sure to order the Tortang Talong as a side dish. :)

I've always loved eating here. I think it's my 3rd or 4th time here but they never disappoint. The first time I ate here, it was pretty packed. But since me and my brother went here late afternoon, we were the only two there.First, the room is spacious. Enough to seat atleast 30 I think? They also have outside seats. They maximize the space without over crowding. The music and the interior match the concept pretty accurately. It gives you the sense of what to expect.The staff is probably the best staff in any place I've eaten in. They were very accomodating and we really don't to say anything to have them get what we needed. Everything just came to us which is a plus on my book.Now with the food. The only problem I had was that it takes a bit while for the food to be served. But as long as the food is served hot, I'm okay with it. Taste wise, awesome! I tried their Lechon Cebu and the skin was nothing but crispy! The rice was soft and fluffy. Wish it had a sauce to accompanybit with, tho. I also recommend their Sgt. Pepper's sizzlers, deputy shorty steak and their sizzling chicken. The gravy has a bit of a kick to it and it compliments the dishes along with the mixed veggies on the side. The meals are very filling so I recommend washing it down with some iced tea so you wont be too full. I have nothing bad to say abt the food. It's as filling to the eyes as it is to the stomach.All in all I've always had a great experience eating here. I see myself coming back in the near future if I want to have a very full appetite. I highly recommend the place and salute to the staff. A yee-haw for you!
