Bypass Burger

We went here this afternoon. We were so excited to try their burgers and when we were about to order, the server said that the burgers were not available. Imagine, it's a burger joint but there's no burger. So we ended up ordering the Hypertension wings and Comatose mojos. For drinks, we had the Red and Lemon Iced Tea. As we were waiting for our food, lots of customers arrived. Obviously, most of them would want to order the burgers. But I don't know why the staff there didn't inform them right away. They just waited for the customers to get a seat and go to the counter to order before telling them that the burgers were not available. There was even a big group of family that went in but got out disappointed. The drinks were served first. I like the taste of the iced tea - contrary to its name, Diabeteas, I didn't find it that sweet. The chicken wings are good. They are flavorful with just the right spicy kick. However, I find them too oily. They gave us a mayo dip for the wings but it's okay to eat them on their own. The mojos and fries were also good -at par with those at pricier food joints. The place is small and the walls looked dirty because of all the graffiti. The sink was a bit of an eyesore and you can see some of the staff washing the plates there. But just an update, they already have a glass door and airconditioning unit. I'd come back to try their burgers next time.UPDATE: We went here again. Thankfully, the burgers are already available. I wanted to try the Anemia Pasta but it wasn't available. Even the Diabeteas were not available. So we got the Stroke burger, Comatose mojos and fries. As I've said before, the mojos and fries are really good. And I've got to say, the Stroke burger is one of the best tasting burgers here in Manila. In my opinion, it tasted better than the more popular ones. The Stroke burger has everything that I love- juicy burger, cheese and bacon. They also heated the bun - I prefer it when the buns are heated. I only wish that all of the items in their menu are complete and the staff are more friendly and courteous.

A quick lunch sometimes means stopping for a burger and hoping it satisfies. It did fill up our tummies but somehow hoping we ate somewhere else for better food. Bypass had a good idea going with its concept of high caloric burgers with additions as medically dangerous for your health. It does kill you with their lack of innovation on their burgers. They almost are the same. They have 8 varieties that only change on size, toppings and combinations. The look is also tacky with customers having the liberty to vandalize the wall. They don't issue receipts, very dirty restroom with flush not working and yes cockroach on their counter.
