It was ikya’s birthday week and we celebrated it in Cebu! It was hard for us to get alone time because we were always either with my family or with the Cebu group. When we finally got our time alone together, I took her to this restaurant that served great food with reasonable prices. As far as I know, this is one of the locations that are frequented by Cebuanos and by tourists as well. 

No problem in locating the restaurant – just look for the long line of people. Parking is not really a problem since their branches are mall-based and also its Cebu so enough said. Check this cute kid we saw playing while his parents were waiting in line. :)

Here's their menu.

When you get in the restaurant, you will immediately feel the warmth of the place. It’s really well decorated and you can tell that the owners went the extra mile to put that personal touch. They have toy planes hanging on the ceiling, U.S. license plate numbers on the walls, etc.

Enough on the vibe and down to business. Here is what we ordered:

For starters we got the Therese’s Pieces - Plump chicken tenderloins, double breaded and fried served with honey mustard. These are chicken tenders that are honest to goodness TRUE chicken tenders -no extenders or other ingredients to make it seem big and full. True to their word, they were really deep fried to golden crispiness. The honey mustard sauce was great too.

For our main course, we got the ever popular Brian’s Ribs. Baked pork ribs with a sweet, tangy piquet sauce served with rice, corn and carrots. Just so you know, the picture below seems a bit too big, it is. These ribs are huge! And for the price, not bad at all. We repeat..NOT BAD AT ALL. They are juicy, meaty, hearty, fall off the bone ribs. They are not the type of ribs that you just eat two and your done. This is the dish you finish by yourself. They are GOOD.

And for dessert we had the Milky way milkshake. Why milkshake for dessert you ask? Well, just check out the size of the glass it’s served in! It is as big as a football, and we are not joking. 

To let you see how big it is, we took a picture of it with a normal glass. See the difference? 

We kind of wish we were joking though, since we weren’t able to finish. It was that big! But it’s a great tasting milkshake nonetheless. Oh did we mention it had chocolate ice cream inside? :)

P.S. they have a 9’’ burger. Will try this next time!

Verdict:

- Family restaurant

- Food is really cheap when you think of the quality and taste.

- Their service is ok. Not much attention from the staff.

- Will definitely come back when we’re both in Cebu to try other dishes! Burger!!!!

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!
