We ate around 10 am so we got served fast, around 15 minutes our food was already on our table. We ordered the XL baby back ribs and just added rice since their XL is ala carte. It was bigger than we expected and the serving size is good for two. For the price, it's justifiable. As for the taste, it's good but not remarkable. It can almost be compared to the slightly higher priced ribs in Metro Manila. The ambiance too is good. We came in a bit early and the staff are just preparing the area when we dined there. Overall, if you're craving for baby back ribs in the area, I'd recommend this place. Good prices for good ribs!

We were on food hunt for dinner when we came from Mt. Gulugod and saw this on google maps. The location was not on the main road so we were surprised that the tables are all occupied. While waiting, they got our orders already so when we were seated, the food arrived about 15-20 mins. For it’s price, I would say that it is on the cheaper side. The ribs are big and it was only less than 500. The paella was also tasty. Their sizzling dinuguan is the star of the night for me :D

Food is great. Except their beef caldereta. The servers say its beef but does not taste and loom like beef. RIBS IS SO TENDER AND WORTH THE TRAVEL!
