Gerry's Grill

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for five years and the food used to be consistently great. Sadly, this time the bulalo had very little flavor and the meat was tough. It feels like the quality has declined.

I really wanted to like Gerry’s Grill in National City because I’ve heard great things about this chain in the Philippines but the food just wasn’t to my liking. My uncle booked a reservation for about 20 of our family members on a weekend for my aunt’s birthday. We arrived at opening and were seated promptly. There were already a lot of guests so we picked a bunch of items from their menu to please everyone’s palate. Unfortunately, the server said they were out of the BBQ Pork Skewers so instead we went with another dish. No big deal. When the food arrived and to our surprise, they actually brought out the BBQ Pork Skewers. Awesome, right?! No! It looked incredibly delicious but the meat was sooo tough and very hard to chew. We couldn’t get it off the skewer with any of the utensils. Sli

Great food and good atmosphere, but the service needs improvement. We came on Friday night and sometimes we come on Saturday night. Obviously, these days are busy and people are out and hungry. I don't know how it is on the normal days, but on the prime weekend days the service can't keep up. They take too long to check on diners and they take too long to furnish the check.

It’s located in Plaza Bonita Mall next to Target towards the outside facing the parking lot. Plenty of seating if you wanted to have a large party. Service was quick and food was excellent. Usually Filipino cuisine can be too salty for me but not here. They did run out of a few things like the beer selections. We will for sure come back for other dishes. We ordered: -pork sinigang -chopsuey -pancit palabok -beef kare kare -pork sisig My favorites were beef kare kare and pork sisig. The sisig had the perfect crisp. Pancit palabok was lacking calamansi so we asked for lemons. Great portion size to share amongst 4 of us and with left overs on the pancit and soup. Rice was sold separately by individual bowls.

Went here on Wednesday night around 6 pm, we had a group of 11 and we did not need a reservation. Got seated right away, and ordered pretty quickly. We ordered: Rice, Garlic Rice, Sizzling Bangus (Milkfish) Sisig, Pancit Canton, Crispy Pata (Pork Knuckles), Chicken Skewers, Bangus Ala Pobre, Pinakbet, Calamares, Sinigang na Boneless Bangus (Milkfish). My favorite was the Bangus Sisig with Garlic Rice, also nice to get an egg added to it as well. I also like the Sinigang na Boneless Bangus, I love sour soup and this had the perfect amount of sourness. I tried everything and there was not anything bad and no one left hungry. The only bad part about this restaurant was the live music was too loud to the point where you couldn't have a conversation with the people at your table, felt lik
