Roadhouse Cafe — Restaurant in Valencia

This is a chain restaurant with a branch in the Double M Hotel. I suspect their menu is to cover all locations as much of it was "unavailable" on our order. As well, I get the idea that the kitchen has a number of "cooks" following recipes but no real "chef." A "Dry classic vodka martini" got me a glass of vermouth. (Yes.. the bottle of vermouth says "Martini (& Rossi)" but that does not make it a martini. The menu is Filipino fare. On par with the larger chain of "Gerry's Grill." While they do have some nicer offerings printed, as expected, "not available." As for the atmosphere, it is a little bistro set up with faux brick and plants, but expect kids running around and playing loud music on their cell phones, games, or just watching videos. It could be romantic, but it isn't. As for their steaks which they push, most cuts are not available and what we were able to order (upsell to a more expensive cut) was just OK and tasted like it was cooked in palm oil. Their USDA cut appearwd to be 'select' or the lowest grade. A local steak that was fresh would have been a little tougher, but would have probably had much...

Don’t be fooled by the photo. Despite its appearance, it is HARD TO CHEW. Nanakit akong panga sigeg usap ani. The ribeye steak is definitely overpriced for its quality. Had it cooked in Medium Rare so it would be tender but what we got was harder than a Well Done. Is it a Congratulations?

In any case, it was really hard to chew despite being Medium Rare. I would definitely say the meat quality is very bad and the prep work was just not done properly. Even the cheap steaks in Bangcud were better than what we were served here.

Not coming...

Food is always as expected - best. However my last visit was a total dissatisfaction because my wife and I got almost served with a food containing PORK, even when asking first before making an order. I think the waiter who took our order was new. If not with the older crew who confirmed with us, dinner will be a total disaster. But suprisingly we still got to pay for the wrong order, making the service below of unsatisfactory. I was expecting not just a refund but a complimentary dish to alleviate...
