The place is almost always full, not that I always try to get a seat or not that I have tried before. Every time I drive by, the place is almost packed. Driving home one night from work, I started craving for something that will really fill up my grumbling stomach. Was I hungry! It was at some point in Maginhawa that I remembered this Fat Cousins' Diner. I got there with parking full, but since I was already set to eating meat, I waited. Not for long a space was freed and the guard was really helpful. I almost darted in and begged for steak, but I stood a while and measured the crowd. It was a pretty mixed, a bit loud crowd. With young locals, maybe students and some foreigners. A crew led me to a table which after I quickly went to line up for my order. The price was very reasonable.

When you are as hungry, want to eat good tasting meat that fills the tummy, and a lift in spirits drop by Fat Cousins' Diner. But if you want quiet and privacy, this is not the place.

I ordered the T-bone steak. Tbh, it's difficult to slice. There's nothing special, as well, with the taste. I loved their mashed potato, though.

For the price of 368 php, I was served with T-bone steak, 1 cup rice, 1 serving of mashed potato, corn and carrots, gravy, and a choice of beverage. I would say that the price is reasonable. The ambiance and the service justifies the price.

Food is just so-so. Ambiance and service is great.

Cons: I feel awkward as the servers watch you eat (due to the small space/area, they have nowhere to go/stand) I understand they are just being attentive to the customers but it really feels awkward being watched...
