The price may be off putting especially to those who are used to buffet but the prompt courteous service, cozy (but humid) ambiance and most specially the tasty and generous serving of food justifies the price.👌🏼
FYI: There’s a bar inside if you want to grab a drink with friends.

Could probably be one of my best night outs with friends!
Eating various menu items at Lazy Bastard, all of which passed our humble tastebuds! Being a chillidog lover, I would say it was the winner for the night.
Visit them on Tuesday night and you'll get the place to yourselves making an intimate place to catch up with long time friends.
The staff and crew were also cool.
Jesus Christ! Oh wow! Etc... The many things we humans say when we are amazed with something else. Lazy Bastard is well known for their burgers, and dogs. Their grub has taken people up to that amazing moment. They took it a step further with a new item on their menu, and named their genius burger concoction, ‘Cheesus Crust.’
The burger consists of the beef patty, jalapeños, and a huge cheese crust instead of the standard cheese slice. With Lazy Bastard being known as a bacon place—long live bacon— obviously I needed to have bacon in my burger, so I added some in my order.
The picture on the wall seemed really appetizing. Just one look at it and ordered it right away, forgetting about my original plan for the Bacon Cheeseburger. As always, or rather in most cases, false advertising. It wasn’t the usual bad false advertising but a good one. You see my fellow foodies, the cheese crust was way bigger than that of the one in the picture. It was as freaking big as a cutting-board! I’m not kidding! When I saw the waiter come out of the kitchen with my order, the exact words that came out of my mouth was, ‘Jesus Christ!’ Then the waiter corrected me and said, ‘Cheesus Crust.’
I was in complete shock when I saw the enormousness of my order. My brain was trying to figure out how to tackle eating it. Getting to the burger part seemed impossible but thankfully the cheese looked more than appetising I definitely had to take a bite of it first. So after a few rips and bites of cheese, I finally got halfway through it and got a huge bite of my burger.
First, the cheese was really good. Not nakakaumay, not overly salty, but very oily. It’s a given since the fat seeps out of the cheese with it’s cooking process. The slightly burned/charred parts at the edge were my fave. Secondly, the burger was really good. Slightly pinkish color in the middle shows how it was perfectly cooked.
I added P90 and upgraded my ala carte burger to a meal, the Calamantea juice and onion rings as my side. The onion rings were huge, however they were bland. The batter needs more salt. Calamantea is their home-brewed iced-tea, and it was super refreshing. Not overly sweet. I would even say that it is my iced-tea of choice. Wish I could just buy it commercially.
Food: 4.5 - It would have been a perfect 5, but the onion rings weren’t perfect.
Price: 4.0 - Steep. My burger alone cost P550 without the added bacon.
Service: 5.0 - Friendly staff. Even if my burger was cooked to order, it came out faster than I expected.
Ambience: 3.5 - Dark chilled back placed. Feels like a bar. If I’m not mistaken, there is a speakeasy through the other door. Not PWD friendly though. Stair handles are halfway down, and I did’t see an elevator.
Next time, I really should try one of their dogs. And at the end of my meal... I finished the entire burger! On the other hand, I had to take the leftover onion rings back to work. I could feel my arteries clog after my meal. LOL!
