My friend's birthday lunch treat here as he saw the tarp outside Spot.ph Top 10 steaks in metro after having his valentines day dinner at Van gogh is bipolar. Ok so i was excited to try this steak joint as I really love steak and I dont really expect much if ill based the steak on the price. So anyway we went, surprisingly the place where it's located was where the Gerry's Jeepney's former location.We ordered:Steaks and Eggs - overpriced for its taste and "Steakness" (if there's such a word 😊) served with tons of caramelized onions on top.Beef Gyro w/ cheese - Bland Bland bland. Tasteless and I have this sensitivity with saltiness so it means when i say bland, theres a problem with seasoning. Again generous serving of caramelized onions on few underseasoned beef chunks. Why did i order with cheese??? Cannot taste the cheese at all!Pomodoro - served in an aluminum baking tray with pita slices as their garlinc bread! Again underseasoned, plating?? Nah!Condimemts you have to pay, tables are not presentable (chipping,dented, wobbly) , toilet.... sink is disgusting, moldy.. there.Ok, so why belong to top 10 steaks in metro?? There are other places that serves good steaks some even cheaper than here with better ambiance. Cleanliness also reflects on how they prepare their food and the place itself. If they cant clean their restroom and buy nice presentable tables ( to think their price is not really worth the taste, presentation and serving size) how are they in the kitchen?? I'll give them 2.0 only for the potato chips sides and this is the only food i genuinely enjoyed 😊. Will go back and recommend? Nope, sorry.. not bad mouthing this joint but honestly aint worth a try.

We tried the solo steak and chicken breast steak, both failed. Chicken was tasteless and lost its juice. A simple boiled chicken with salt taste much better. Side veggie is the same. As for the overpriced steak, a food court steak is way tastier. We ran to the nearest panciteria to immediately forget this bad experience.

Not recommended, we went there bec. it was featured at "ang pinaka", we tried the Kingkong steak which is salty as hell, the beef was indeed juicy and cooked well but the flavor was just sad.The dish is all over the plate, stuffed by so many onions with 2 eggs and some bacon plus a salty chips on top. Its not supposed to be called kingkong steak it should be called bypass steak coz for sure if the oilyness of the 2 eggs and bacon will not kill you the saltiness will.The chairs are wobbly, the sauce given to us is bland, the veg. no flavor, ambiance is ok, but the service is so slow they even forget our other order. I will not come back there.

Yes. I should have just believed the reviews and never tried persuading my friends to try this place. Me and my friend ordered the Kingkong steak (for 2) which costs 700+: comes with overcooked buttered veggies, mushroom soup that's so thick, rice, coke and 2 bland steaks ( with gravy that I can't describe the taste). Then, my other friends had this wrap and The Corleone or whatever you call it , which tasted like those you eat in carinderias. Or I can say, carinderia spaghetti is better?Full of regrets. I hope the owner takes time reading the reviews here, if he still cares about his business. 1 or 2 bad reviews can be doubtful but more than that, signal something is wrong.This doesn't deserve even a 1. Sorry.

Steak was like rubber. It also has a weird after taste. Should've checked the reviews before coming here. Go somewhere else. Snackaroo serves better food.

Since we love steak, we decided to try eating here one day and we regret it. Steak was bland and the mashed potato is disappointing. Didn't enjoy dining here at all. We also ordered Pesto. Taste was okay but it was too oily for my liking.

Ok sana siya kung mura eh, pero hindi eh. We ordered KingKong Steak 700+ ata yung price good for two na with rice, soup and drinks na. I would rate this differently if it was priced 300-400+ lang. I was expecting pa naman since Spot.ph included this on the must list for Steaks under 500? Dissapointed. The meat is malasa naman pero maraming lasa because of onions, garlic, mushroom, egg and bacon which made the dish too oily. Yung gravy din ang lakas ng lasa. I ended up eating nalang yung bacon and egg and chips. Hehe The place is not airconditioned. I would not recommend this place. Ok to skip this resto. Or please improve.

we ordered the kingkong steak. I was expecting a big steak since this is worth 599. I was really disappointed when I saw the steak. Taste is okay, but the size, not worth it!! We were the first customer that day. We arrive at 11:30 and and they open at 12. We waited since we were expecting that the steak would be good. It took them 25 mins to serve the food! No other customers aside from us. I will never go back here.

We were attracted to the tarpaulin boasting that they are listed as part of the Top 10 places for steak. We were wrong. The steak is very tough. They don't have other seasonings except for hot sauce. The price WOULD have been fine, at P250 for steak but for a steak this awful, it's overpriced. Until they start improving the way they prepare and cook steaks, I implore you to stay away.

Loved the steak which is nicely seasoned and cooked (and priced!). Would've loved if they improved on their interiors and food stocks as sometimes the sides I would like to eat are not available. Steak and wine are best savored in nicer environs. But if you like good but affordable steak below P400, Empire Steak is a good alternative.
