"Old but gold. Ribs were still good after a long time since I've been here (10yrs ago). No problems with food. With the ever changing times, shey still dont accept Gcash or Card Payments, Only Cash. The ambience is kinda old too. Needs renovation and facelift imho"

"NOV ,2024 - I realized that it's been a while since I last updated this posted after several visits... Same consistent taste and value for money. Recommend to visit the place and try their classic ribs It's our go to place for celebrations! They now have japanese inspired food items as part of the menu Rub Ribs! The best ribs... it’s the first choice of my kids! Highly recommend to visit the place. April 2019 - Pork Ribs... the best! Taste is always consistent and our kids love it. We also tried their baked mussels and I would recommend it too. Try it out."

"First time in this branch. We have tried their Kalayaan branch a couple of times. It’s Friday night and we’re the only diners. We ordered: Ultimate fries - too oily, not crunchy at all. It’s loaded with grated cheese, mayo and cheese sauce, and meat. Could have been better if it’s not soaking with oil. Giving it a 4/10 Duo size Raki’s Baby Back Ribs - as usual, it doesn’t disappoint. It comes with 2 free side dishes which are good too! The mashed potato is creamy - and I always love the buttered corn (they have the canned corn kernels). 10/10 for me, 8/10 for hubby. I guess, the 740 pesos is justified. Sprice - it’s their version of dirty rice. Was not able to take a photo of this. It’s flavored rice with garlic and some spices. 9/10"

"The steak here is a pricier than other steak places in Kapitolyo, but flavor is at par and serving size is bigger. The T-bone was already flavorful even without the gravy. Side veggies were just buttered corn. It would have been better with carrot or greens. The dirty rice was also good. I enjoyed their baked mac and cheese with pulled meat (I think beef) and blowtorched cheese on top. The fried oreos (a la mode!) is a must-order. The staff were friendly and attentive."

"This is easily now one of my favorite restaurants if I’m craving for ribs. My recent visit left me drooling over their incredible ribs – juicy, super tender, flavorful, and downright addictive, especially with their generous sauce servings. But it's not just about the food; the service here is top-notch. The staff are not only quick but also super friendly, making you feel right at home. And let's talk about bang for your buck – the prices are totally reasonable for the quality you're getting. Sure, the vibe could use a little more oomph, but hey, the 90s playlist totally sets the mood. Plus, you can count on them to deliver consistency every time (I’d know, because we’ve been there several times and they’ve been very consistent). We’re gonna keep coming back!"

"Had an odd craving for ribs this evening and remembered I tried this place back in 2015 and enjoyed it. I've never really liked ribs as I find it sticky. I was really glad to find that they have a dry rub variant: crispy cajun ribs. That was really good. My companion ordered the raki's bbq ribs which was also good up to a certain point. This meal hit the spot so I'll come back next time I have a rib craving."

"We enjoyed the family platter of ribs and fried oreos here. We last dined at their then-branch in Makati and they did not disappoint here in Kapitolyo. Service was good and server was accommodating"
