The Grill

I was wondering why Balai Ilocos has been permanently closed; this could be the reason why.The Grill is a sister-restaurant and they have expanded the menu-base beyond the usual Filipino dishes from the previous resto.My ThoughtsFoodI enjoyed the cheesy potatoes. The sisig and butterflied fish were okay.The baby back ribs is tender and delicious but has more bones than meat. PricePrice-wise, just within the average but not budget-friendly. ServiceIt’s quite fine; not fast-food speed style but not too slow either. AmbianceI like the classy vintage-vibe interior. ParkingParking space is sufficient.

We came here wanting to avoid eating at the same places again. Yes, as plentiful as restaurants are in BF, we just keep going back to the same places so our attempt to eat our way through the city has barely progressed. But when we saw The Grill, we thought, "what the hell?" and pulled into the parking lot.The interior is a mish-mash of classic pop culture ( I wanted to pocket this Beatles memorabilia), and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. But we're here to discuss food, right?We ordered the mango-kani salad, classic liempo, bacon and cheese potato halves, The Grill ribs, classic sisig, mashed potatoes, and mushroom gravy.The sisig was my favorite, hands down. Not only was it seasoned well; it had a nice crunch to it, too. The classic liempo's marinade was simple but on point, and the rind was crisp and the meat tender. As much as I don't like sweet marinade, I tried the ribs anyway and noticed how fall-off-the-bone tender the meat was. The salad was fresh, and the mashed potato with the gravy was a more than adequate sub for rice. The only one I didn't enjoy much was the one I had the highest hopes for. The potato halves had a creamy topping (mayonnaise, I think) that overwhelmed the things and made them unappealingly sweet, so the bacon was hardly coming through. The cheese on top didn't really do much to improve things; I had to give mine away after one bite.I absolutely would come back here again and would recommend that you give it a shot if you're in town.

Friendly staff. Great home made BBQ recipes. Cheap beers. Had the T chops, tried the ribs, bbq, isaw. Generous servings well priced. Open air but not so smokey... Very good first impression. Above expectations for a bbq place. Hence 4.0 Add the BBZ (not available) and will get higher!

This place isn't as good as I expected it to be. Yes, their interior is so nice. Especially to me who loves a bit of retro and stuff. Their waiters are very accomodating. But the food. They should serve other meat as well since not all people, like me, eats pork. The servings aren't reasonable as well. They were so small. And their food is a bit tasteless.

Pretty good hang out spot if you want to chill and have some peace while having a cold beer. The BBQ here is pretty good. I always come back here for a night cap.

Took a 45min drive because we were craving for roast beef. Ended up having free food as they were celebrating. We ordered more on top of the free food. Their pork barbeque was the bomb! Roast beef wasn't really as good - no garlic and mushrooms as shown in one review. Great staff, friendly owner, good food and really cool looking place. Since no AC, best to go at night when it's breezy. Will definitely go back.

Clean (I guess because it's still newly opened), and interiors are one of a kind. The CR has palettes om tje wall, urinal is a beer keg. There's an option to grill your own food, but we ordered already cooked.We had inasal, tomahawk, chicken & pork isaw, and barbecue.:)

This is their liempo value meal. Do you think this is worth php150?! The nerve of your staff to say "ganun talaga". Nakakahiya sa Tito ko na balikbayan, we brought him to your restaurant because we liked your food but tonight you disappointed us. 😡😡😡

Great bar serving good variety of local dishes. Loved their tomahawk pork chop, lightly seasoned and very tender. Tempura was also nice. This bar is bright, not cramped, and has parking in front. Good for Tito and Titas to chillax without the annoying teens. 😉
