Stackers Burger Cafe

Stackers Burger Cafe
Eastwood, Metrowalk, Newport Mall, The Venice Piazza

The only branch we didn't get to try Stackers is in Metrowalk, just because we don't go there. =)) They serve really good burgers. :) But I guess the downside to it is that they only have a few selection.

Here is what we've tried so far.

 Crispy Chicken Burger - Boneless crispy breaded chicken which comes with mayo mustard dressing on a regular size bun

Pepper Burger - Lettuce, mayo, pepper crusted patty, mozzarella cheese, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, pepper steak sauce, onion bits topped with crispy fried strips

Philly Cheese Burger - Quarter pound beef patty with sauteed sweet peppers, onion rings, mozzarella cheese smothered with ranch dressing on a long bun

BBQ Burger Bowl - Burger in a bowl

Fish and Chips

Coke. haha

Verdict:
- Great food! Burgers are great, but the philly cheese burger and fish and chips can be avoided. =))
- Family/barkada type of restaurant
- Price is okay
- Must try is the burger bowl. Unique food of stackers. :)

FIVE GUYS Burgers

Five guys


OMG! Let me start by saying OMG! Hands down the best burger I ever had. There was all this fuss about in&out, but this Five Guys burger joint is really good. At this point, I haven't tried in&out, but I figured that it's going to be hard to beat by the taste of those burgers. 




The restaurant is like the kinds you see in the movies where college kids hang out and eat some grub!



The restaurant is decorated with words of praises said by different people during different times about the restaurant. Below are some examples.







Their regular servings are double patty with your choice of condiments. I got lettuce, tomatoes, grilles onions and BBQ sauce. Mouth-watering ey?




When you order the fries, they throw in an extra cup in the bag. 




Monster portions for a monster meal. Great! p.s. i ended up eating here 3 times. same order and same satisfaction.

Palm Springs, California



Scottsdale, Arizona (ate twice here)




Verdict:
- Best burger i ever tasted!
- Every bite is worth every dollar
- Definitely going back if I'm in the States.
- Some rich guy, please franchise here in the Philippines! Don't let this be another ihop moment!!

Jack in the Box

Jack in the Box
9215 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, California
(858) 573-2972


My first time ever in this fast food chain and my 1st ever meal for this trip. We just came from the airport, got our car and drove out of LA to head to San Diego. 


I ordered the sirloin cheese burger. Honestly, I first thought that it would be a normal tasting burger since people back home didn't really mention anything about liking jack in the box, but i loved it. The portions were expected to be big so I anticipated that. It screamed "Welcome to the USA!"



During our second visit, I ordered the Grilled chicken breasts. I had to order small. It was surprising how juicy it was. Usually you expect fast-food chicken breasts to be dry and tough, but it was delicious. The curly fries were just okay though.




Verdict:
- It's a barkada restaurant. Much like Mcdonald's
- The price is normal if compared to US restaurants
- Won't say I'll be craving for it, but it was worth trying

Ms. B's Tuckshop

Ms. B's Tuckshop
20 Jupiter St. Valdecon Bldg, Makati
Monday to Thursdays: 12pm to 12mn
Fridays: 12pm to 3am
Saturdays: 5pm to 3am

A cute little restaurant in Jupiter. You won’t notice it at first since the reason why you might go to the area is because you’ll drink in Distillery. Parking is a bit of a problem especially if you go on Friday when a lot of people want to party in the neighboring bars.


They only have a few meals to offer, but then it’s better this way so you won’t have a hard time picking which one you want to try. Their menu is written on a chalkboard. Very cute concept. Cost efficient as well since they won’t have to make multiple menus and they can change food easily.

 
We have to commend their presentation of food and drinks as well. Here’s their house water. It reminded us of American movies where milk is delivered in these bottles door to door.


For starters, we tried the Salt and Vinegar chips. It’s okay. Tastes good but not worth its price.


We ordered the Beef Burger as well. They use 100% grass-fed beef. I didn’t taste anything new with it. It lacked taste actually..maybe add vegetables or something? Chuck found it really juicy, which is good.


For my favorite part, dessert.... The calamansi beignet is really good. It’s bread that you dip in condensed milk. We didn’t taste the calamansi flavor though.


Tried their three milkshakes as well. Was with the girls when I had these. Will introduce them according to taste. Best for me is the PB&J Milkshake, then the Red Velvet, last is the Roasted Marshmallows.


 
I love the PB&J Milkshake. It sounds weird but I suggest for you to try it. The Red Velvet was okay. Wouldn’t buy it again but I didn’t hate it. Just wasn’t that good to be bought again. Friends felt the same. Last is the Roasted Marshmallows for me. However,m y friends and officemates looooooved it. Just too salty for me. I don’t know if they were sleepy the time we came in or it really just doesn’t taste right. Don’t get me wrong. I love the Happy Lemon rock salt and cheese creations so reason why I hate this can’t be because it’s not the conventional sweet milkshake. Try it and let’s see if we share the same sentiment. :)


Enjoyed the milkshakes with my best friends :)


Verdict:

- Great hangout place with friends

- Price is okay

- Would like to try their Lechon Salad and other desserts. Will update this as soon as we try it!
