Another website meet up means another chance to try awesome food and have great company. If you are looking for a hang out place with comfort food and reasonae pricing, this is a great place for you. Upon entry, the interiors were already a stand out as it was funny and preppy. I enjoyed their ambiance although they did not have wifi. For a place that targets students especially from Xavier, i think they should consider having wifi. We had loads of dishes that was prepared. The best drink to start is their rasberry as the others lack a little in taste. Maybe pinch in more flabvir or the actual lemon would make it pop. Starting off with cheeseballs and dynamit cheesesticks, we were already ina. Gooey situation. Their cheese was stringy and good. Up next, we were served 2 kinds of salad: buffalo chicken salad and chicken teriyaki salad. I enjoyed both as it had different characters. The buffalo played on the spicy side while the chicken teriyaki played around the sweet side but nevertheless, both loaded with flavor. After that, we were given 3 kinds of THIN pizza. It's like your panizza with the leaves and alfalfa to add more taste. We were given cheese, shrimp, and sisig pizza. Oh, and another one which is their buffalo pizza. I especially loved the sisig and shrimp pizza though I wish it had more bits of the shrimp and chicken to it. As if that was not enough, we then moved on to main dishes. We were served mushroom burger, chicken and waffles sandwich, kimchi rice with glazed spam and macaroni and cheese, tomato soup (which was wierd that it was served on the latter part) and their famous oyster sisig :) The burger was a bit dry and so was the chicken and waffles sandwich. I would have wanted maple syrup on the side. I enjoyed the kimchi rice with spam as it had both sweet and spicy. The mac and cheese was cheesy and had bits of ham to add saltyness to the flavor. I liked the tomato soup. It was rich and creamy. I really enjoyed the oyster sisig. It was crunchy and had a lot of gravy which makes it different. I would go back for tge food and ambiance. I enjoyed my time and may I adf, the staff are very nice :)

The place looks great and interesting. The food though is not very great. It looks and tastes like food from a school cafeteria that does not offer something new. And tastes really oily.

It's more of like an expensive high school cafeteria. So many high schoolers here and so loud. I ordered the mushroom melt burger and raspberry tea. The burger was not worth the price but good nonetheless. The tea however was so good, I wished I ordered it as refillable/bottomless.The staff was okay, not much interaction. But when they gave me my food, I didn't know if I was supposed to have tissue/napkins to wipe my fingers off. I mean the burger was messy eating! But I had a handkerchief with me so J used that. The chicken that the other dude seemed really good. I might order that next time if I decide to come back.

Cops and Robbers is very intriguing, the first time I heard of this place my imagination is stimulated. Its a nice yet hard to find restaurant, especially if you're not very used to San Juan area. Just remember its in front of Xavier school and you'll be fine. The place is quite spacious and very clean. They have themes that kids and kids at heart will like. They offer a fusion of American, Korean, Filipino and Italian cuisine.The food is quite great and served in generous quantities. The best for me is their thin crust pizza's. It's very thin but still soft and it didn't taste like biscuit unlike some restaurants offering thin crust pizza's.They also offer yummy dishes with cheese. I'm not sure what cheese they use but it is mouthwatering. I enjoyed their baked macaroni, chili cheese fingers and mozzarella nuggets.Their sandwich, burgers and waffles are fine but what really set it out is their french fries. A simply finger food but it is really tasty and for me this is one of the best things that sets them apart other resto's that offer burgers and fries.To sum up, if I'm a student of Xavier or I live 30 mins drive from this place, I'll be back at least once a week. It is a great new restaurant that serves comfort foods with a twist and brings back memories of teenage days. The price is also worth it and the staff is great.

Cops and RobbersLocation: It's not easily accessible since it's not situated along a major road or near a mall. Their main target are the students from Xavier School. We really hope they branch out soon because we believe they have a unique food concept that will surely make foodies around the Metro take notice.Interior: They went for an industrial and rustic look which was perfect for their theme. The place looks like a cross between a jailhouse and a school canteen.Food: The food was amazing! The ingredients they use are of the highest quality and the servings are big.We Recommend You To Try:• Sisig Pizza• Chicken BBQ Pizza Roll• Garlic Shrimp Pizza Roll• Mac N Cheese• Kimchi Fried Rice with Caramelized SPAM• Philly Cheesesteak SandwichService: The staff were very attentive to our needs. They were even game enough to pose with us for photos.Value for Money: Their food are seriously affordable. Actually, you get more than your money's worth at Cops and Robbers.Read the rest of our review here: http://www.certifiedfoodies.com/2015/03/cops-and-robbers-san-juan/

I came here for a kid's birthday party and we were served Buttermilk Chicken, Three-cheese pizza, Nachos and Chicken Pasta. I like the buttermilk Chicken. It smells so good when the chicken reaches in front of your face. It comes with yellow java rice. The three cheese pizza was alright, crust not as thin as I'd like but it goes well. It was lined with pesto, which doesn't fare well for me. I sprinkled it with chili flakes and it tasted better. The chicken would have been better if it had more flavor. I liked the longganisa though. It was soft and tasty. It's a nice concept restaurant and it has a good location especially that it is right in front of Xavier School and very near ICA. the kids love playing with their costumes and taking photos pretending to be suspects along with a board where you can write anything you want. It's convenient but parking on weekdays can be a hassle. The place caters mostly to the school boys and girls. Menu is not unique and I am not impressed with the food so far. Thumbs up for convenience near the schools but I would not go out of my way for their food.

Okay, honestly, I wanted to try Cops for the sole purpose of hopefully seeing Jake Ejercito. 😜But their food, DOESN'T dissapoint. First time there, we ordered sisig Pizza, we were three, and yet we had a hard time finishing it. Not that it wasn't good, because it is. But because despite being thin crust, you really feel full after 2 slices. Second time to visit, we ordered carbonara, and Chang beer. Even stayed past their store hours, but Jake, was too nice to have let us stayed. Even went his way to entertain us and have someone bring the fan out, coz we were seated outside. Third visit, was for Mac 'N Cheese. And damn, was it gooey good. Even left me craving after few days. It was totally #FoodOverJake by then.

I used to go to school in the area. Coming back was a trip down memory lane although i graduated long before cops and robbers opened up. Kids these days are lucky, they have cute places like this to eat. In my time, it was only Manang's carinderia. But I digress.Cops and Robbers is fun and cute. They serve up comfort food And cater to students. Although the price isn't that student-friendly as we felt it was more on the pricey side. Unless standard student baon is higher in these parts. I ordered the hotdog with cheese and salsa. It was just ok.The homemade chips are nothing special.The buffalo tenders are good but the saffron rice is meh. Also it does not have any dip or sauce so the dish felt "kulang." Also half the plate was empty so it really felt "konti."Their mozza balls are also just okay. served room temperature. Brewed coffee not good.Go on a Sunday avoid the traffic

We came here, a group of 4, not expecting much, and I think that's the best approach in trying something new. Well the place was new at the time, but the cuisine has been done by every American joints everywhere so it will be very difficult to expect something new. And coming to this place, that would be right. Just simple comfort food, decent servings, and a quirky theme to enjoy. The food was good; the alcoholic mixes were hit and miss; but the service was great. The crew went out of their way to provide us ventilation (and were seated outside).Up: sharing portions; very affable and courteous crew; free parkingDown: cocktail mixes can be improved.
