Update: 4th visit Service has definitely improved. Jap was attentive. There is smokiness to the salad and burger which gave the dishes better taste. Found the salad delicious but overpriced for the amount given. ______________________________________ Chicken was pretty good. Very flavourful skin (but be careful with the dip, it’s spicy). The burger was tasty. I will definitely come back to try the other dishes. Service was not as prompt as I expected, even if there were only 4 tables being served, you had to wait for the server but overall all definitely worth a visit again.

Visited late afternoon when the restaurant was not busy. I notice that the menu is now much reduced compared to the pictures from 2023. Still, I ordered the German sausage and fries. The sausage was excellent, one of the best sausages I've ever tasted. I could have ordered two for a large meal, yet, one was sufficient. It would have been better if they had maintained the German style sides. The prices were reasonable and the staff efficient. There was a view of the street which I enjoyed, yet, as the sun had started to shine through the windows they closed the blinds. The area has a number of bars and restaurants in the area, however, I visited during the day time and didn't have any issues.

Unlimited steak for only Php 999. Not bad! It also includes unlimited pasta, sausage, bagnet, and salad. Drinks, however, are not, but still, Php 999 is not bad! We also tried all the pastas and all were really good! We weren't able to try the sausages, though. They were out of stock when we came to eat. The steak is really good, too. Serving is very generous as well. You can tell them how much serving you want too. Customer service is okay. When I kindly asked to be transferred to a different table, they accommodated me.

Reserved for a 12 noon lunch at Butchers Manila to try out their UnliMEATed Promo for ₱1499++ per person. This has already been going on for a while. Initially, they had it at ₱999++. Now, with more inclusions like their unli Baby Back Ribs and Bagnet, the price has been adjusted with inflation. This was actually a birthday treat of my youngest son. The reservation process was seamless. I got in touch with Adams and was actually confirmed by Hazel on the day itself. Food - 5*, choice quality meats whether US Ribeye, Pork or Chicken. For me the sausages were a bit of a letdown. Too soft, bit mushy not robust and did not possess the casing snap. All other meats done exceedingly well in terms of flavor, texture, doneness, smokiness. The BBQ chicken even had hints of lemongrass while the steaks which we had at least 3 servings each was tender while exuding the proper beefy taste. Among the sides, I enjoyed their Aglio Olio Pasta over the Carbonara. The fries went well with the meats. The soup was hearty and was made with real cauliflower with bacon bits. Really good but did not get a second helping because I did not want to be full with fillers. The Asian Salad Greens was also a nice touch. It makes you think and feel you're eating healthy despite the number of steaks and Bagnet you consume. Iced tea was sweet, citrusy and properly refreshing. The only part of the meal which is not unli is the dessert which when we visited was a Brownie Tiramisu. I won't get another piece though because it was just okay but served the purpose of taking the "umay" out. Service - 5*, very strong in customer service from Gerald the manager to our servers Ken, Jap and Hazel. We were attended to promptly and efficiently. Food was served hot and within reasonable time from the minute we placed our orders and reups. Atmosphere - 4*, family friendly and customer centric

Food was good. Their Meat-all-you can is great! From the soup (creamy) to the salad (topped with lots of cheese), to the sausage (juicy and packed) and the steak (seasoned well). Everything tasted good. Pasta and chicken was ok. Service was fast. Waiters are quick and attentive. Orders reaches the table quite fast as well. Atmosphere was nice. Place is a bit dark and dim which is easy on the eyes. Place also has some parking spaces. Highly recommended if you are looking for a bang for your buck.

Food: We tried A La Carte as most of the main dishes were cheaper than the Unlimitted set and we were not that hungry. We tried the Sambal Chicken and smoked pork belly. Both were delicious and tasty! Also got butter garlic rice on the side. The rice bowl was big, one is enough for 2 if you are not starving. We ended up pretty full as the dishes were generous in size. Service: No issue on that part, it was efficient and most waiters were available. The place was not packed but not empty too. Atmosphere: The restaurant is loud, it is a bit hard to hear each other speak (the music was on but not crazy loud and people were calm, but somehow it sounded loud). The toilets were not clean and there is only one shared toilet (male and female). It is easy to fix, get someone to clean it regularly during the service.

Finally got to try the steak tapa for breakfast — not bad really! Don’t expect a premium ribeye steak at this price, but the flavor is spot on — more like tapa or barbecue. Super tender and really tasty. The pork tocino was also really good. For ₱395, it’s a good deal and a great alternative to the usual Jollibee or McDo breakfast The crew were very accommodating — you don’t even need to ask for water refills, they check on you from time to time. Waiting time was totally fine too plus the ambiance! Will definitely be coming back!

I tried the Grilled Tapa Steak during their breakfast hours and it was absolutely amazing! Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor — such a treat to have steak-quality tapa in the morning. The iced tea was also outstanding, with a refreshing sweetness that really stood out compared to other places. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was modern yet cozy, and overall it’s a place I would definitely come back to. Highly recommended if you’re in Makati!
