The Meat House

I highly recommend it. Great food that comes on affordable prices. Tried their #PrimeRibEye steak. The meat was huge and cooked perfectly to my liking. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu.

I have now come back to this place for at least 4 times and I'm getting consistent food quality each time which is great because their big chops are the best you'll find in the city!

Place is a bit isolated and can be too quiet, then there's the pricing that is above average. However, service is topnotch and you'll be back here for the great food!

Tucked away in a corner of a compound of restaurants is a gem for delicious food. It was Valentine’s evening and without an reservation, the chance of finding a table for 4 in any restaurant in the city was close to nil. My daughter tried THE MEATHOUSE and lo and behold! We got an 8:30 slot. And thank God we did!

While interiors were bland and the lighting harsh, food was definitely topnotch! Each of our orders elicited satisfied “yumm!...” from us. The burger meal for my 8-year old daughter was a kiddie meal but was huge in portions and taste and only P180. The buffalo wings of my other daughter were spiced to perfection. My husband’s Rib-eye was butter-soft to the knife and full of flavor, and my house ribs were fall-off-the bone wonderful. To top off the satisfying meal, the owner gave us a brownie a la mode for dessert which was met by “yummm!” around the table.

We met the young chef who, with his wife, is behind all the deliciousness. We’ll definitely be back for more!

Massive grilled porkchop for P300! Hell Yeah! 🐷 Great ambience, reservations are highly recommended, with a very good location. Perfect for mini reunions and casual dates.

Good quality of meat, however the taste was kinda bland (next time more seasoning please ☝🏻). Presentation of food was nice. The place is okay, not too big nor small.

Suggestion: 2 thick slices of butter per porkchop
Service and Crew: Attentive to our requests. Kudos guys!👌🏻
Cleanliness 👌🏻
Parking 👌🏻

Ambiance: not too crowded

Food: of course, the best part! Though I felt the ribs' meat were plain without its sauce. But their Chops were to die for! Meat was tender and their serving were too big for its price.

Service: they charged us incorrectly but they apologized and the staff were friendly anyway.

The restaurant was located on the ground floor of a timeworn building within Ginza Compound alongside other dining and lifestyle destinations and it had a newly-renovated classic look.

Formerly occupying this space was Black Iron, a bistro known for its burgers.

Under new ownership, the branding was reinvented and the existing menu was revamped.

Checking everything listed on the menu, I think I believe an apology is due. 

Why? Because last time I checked, some soups, salads and pastas that they offer are vegan-friendly. Some examples personally recommended by the chef include Cream of Mushroom, House Salad and Aglio Olio Pasta.

But I think I don't need to remind you that we're here because of meat.

Since it was already past two in the afternoon, I was famished. My stomach growled like a hungry hyena that has not eaten for a week.  

Wanting to try the best this place has to offer, we were served the monster-sized Meat House Family Bonding Platter consisting of an imported sausage, monster chop, half chicken, MH ribs and French fries. Guess what? It was only PHP960, quite a bang for the buck.

You know what gives this combo an edge? Their signature barbecue sauce. Trust me on this.
For you to get a better idea of how each of the abovementioned bestsellers tasted like from the perspective of my tastebuds, let's scrutinize every single one of them, shall we?

Sausage – You can choose from any of their imported sausages available and if it will be boiled, fried or grilled. What we had was a fried Hungarian sausage and it was alright.

Monster Chop – It’s a ¾ inch thick 400g grilled chop in butter mustard herb. This is a must-try because the mustard just complements every juicy bite. And when I say it’s thick, it’s thick. 

Lemon Pepper Chicken – Not sure if it was grilled but a friend of mine loved it. Personally, I’m more of a traditional inasal fan.

Meat House Ribs – Grilled low and slow, it’s indeed fall off the bone tender. This is by far my personal favorite in this restaurant.

If you think we’ve had enough meat for a day, then came the Ribeye Choice at PHP960, still a ¾ inch thick US Ribeye Steak seasoned with Himalayan salt and black pepper. Paired with their homemade mashed potato, corn and vegetables, this dish disappeared in a flash.

Did I forget to mention that they have desserts? Yes, they do. And we got to try all three.

MH Chocolate Cake at PHP190 – It’s a moist chocolate cake with Belgian chocolate ganache. If you’re looking for something bitter sweet, order this.

MH Apple Pie at PHP160 – Served warm with vanilla ice cream, it was crunchy and chewy.

MH Brownie Ala Mode – Who would ever say no to this timeless dessert?

Other interesting dishes we’d love to try on our next visit is their Buffalo Wings at PHP295 (deep fried chicken wings with rose blend spicy sauce with your choice of blue cheese dressing, wasabi cream and honey BBQ sauce) and also their Angus Beef Burger at PHP350 (classic ½ pound burger made from 100% pure and succulent flame-grilled Angus Beef).
