Our first Mad Mark's experience was at the Central Square, Bonifacio High Street, where we have tried their best sellers, Signature Steak, Creole Grilled Chicken, oBEARloaded Frites and their homemade ice cream and we gave them a good feedback on that. But last night, we decided to try other dishes in their Glorietta branch.
My partner had Classic Fried Chicken and I had Mad Mark's Signature Steak Burger. For beverages, we had Lemonade and their homemade Iced Tea.
The Classic Fried Chicken is not the usual "crispy and juicy" fried chicken we were expecting. It was like a honey glazed chicken wings! This should be specified on the menu. The chicken was dry and the taste was not so good. Better try other restaurants specializing in Wings than having this Classic Fried Chicken from them. Also, the Mad Mark's Signature Steak Burger tasted really bad and the meat was not of high quality. It's a big No for us. Iced Tea remains good while the lemonade was almost tasteless.
The staff were busy chatting at the counter, which gave us difficulty calling their attention to order.
Overall, it...
Read moreWe ordered Signature Steak comes with two sidings, Johnnie Double Black Ribs, Churrasco, Buffalo Roost Salad and Cheese steak tips fries. We also ordered the party wings but after 30 minutes of waiting we decided to cancel the order.
The steak only comes in two doneness (medium rare and medium well done) and a choice of gravy or what they call a bootstrap sauce which tastes pretty good as it's sweet and tangy at the same time. The buffalo roost salad is spicy. The serving size is for one.
Overall the food taste good but the service is pretty mediocre. People are not attentive, the party wings took a long time to cook. Also the place is rather small so not really a good option if you plan to dine in with more...
