The food was great. 👌 No doubt, it was worth the price. We enjoyed our despedida dinner for our colleague. While enjoying the food and the company, a staff went to us and told us to lower our voices because there’s a meeting going on. (On the other table near us) It’s okay tho, but I suggest that if you are going to have a meeting outside the office, make a reservation instead or expect that the environment will be a bit loud.

Could not believe how satisfying and delicious these blue plates were of Racks. For 300 bucks, we were expecting a small portion and honestly, some cut back on taste. But our plate was overflowing.
This visit broke my 15 years on non visit to Racks. It's been in the resto business since I was a kid, and for good reason. Their ribs are simply the best. True to its word that its so tender, its falling off the bone.
The fried chicken is tasty and juicy. While their fish was big portion of dory with light batter.
I was very happy with my chosen side, deep fried french beans - a smart alternative to fries. My fiance had fries with gravy - so good too!
Service was impeccable and I love this outlet because it has plenty of parking out front.

They have great ambiance, vicinity is not over crowded. Staff are welcoming and assistive starting from arrival until you leave. Food: two thumbs up, serving time just right. We had the US ribeye steak and blackened salmon steak. Both were cooked perfectly, we just found the salad side to have too much sauce which is not really a bad thing. Their extra hot original barbeque sauce is also wonderful.

Racks- Magallanes is our family's go-to resto when we crave for tender and tasty meat.  We dined last Jan. 1 and as always, we enjoyed everything that we ordered-  soup, salad, pasta, fish and our favorite Racks baby ribs and boneless pork. Every dish is well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The nice and ever courteous staff of this branch is a big plus.

On this staycation take out, my friends and I shared a few of Rack’s signature items. For Php 1590, we had the smoky and quite lean Classic Pork Ribs Quarter Rack, tasty crispy Fried Chicken whole and a ‘large’ pasta salad side dish. For rice, I got from 7 11 since theirs is Php 60 per cup.

It’s always a treat having Rack’s for a meal. The quality of meat has been sustained all these years and their sauce bring out the best is their dishes.

I have been dreaming of eating the ribs in Racks for a few weeks now, and we finally got to go one Sunday. Unfortunately, it took a bit of time for the food to come out. This is because they didn’t want to serve us something bad. This shows how comitted these people are to quality. Raiza and the rest of the staff went out of their way to make our dinner very memorable and fun, and we left the restaurant happy and certainly wanting to come back for more. Thank you to everyone at Racks Paseo de Magallanes.

This branch is one of my favorite! It is located inside Paseo De Magallanes alongside with other restaurants which offer a different cuisine. It has 2 floors, more dining area upstairs since the kitchen/grilling area occupies almost half of the 1st floor. There’s also a small function room at the 2nd floor where special events can be held. The serving time was fast (Im not sure though if it’s always like that since there were only a few customers at that time), the staff were corteous, presentable and attentive. The place is well-lit and the distance between tables is just right: not too crowded nor spacious.

Indeed, value for money since I couldn’t argue with the quality and taste of the food they offer ;-) Plus, you’ll get a free mud pie on your next visit - just scan the qr code on the tabletop and leave your honest feedback. Will always come back!

Racks magallanes have a good interior compared to last year or the past years and what makes my night really happy is that the staff janice and the “cute” manager milkah really accomodates me though i’ve decided to have a take out ribs.

Fast delivery. The food at Rack's has always been consistent. While the baby back ribs is good, I still think it's over rated. IMO, the pork ribs and the hickory chicken tastes so much better than their bestseller. Especially, the chicken which has a really smokey flavor, and is always fall off the bone tender. The beef ribs though, was a bit tough today. Don't bother with the side dishes just stick with the meats.

We came here because the traffic was bad and we were hungry. Racks seemed to be a safe bet because we were craving for ribs.

No branch of racks has ever let us down. As always, their ribs and pasta is to die for and onion rings has always been a staple with every racks visit.

The service was not bad as well. Definitely recommended.

Celebrating another successful month-end management reporting cycle, the team took a 15-minute cab ride to Paseo de Magallanes to have a belly-busting lunch at Rack's. Most days I don't bother with browsing the entire menu. I just ask the server to show us the Family Platters page and I order off of it. I feel that Rack's Family Platters menu saves time because we don't need to wait for everyone else to make up their minds on their orders. 

A meal at Rack's is not complete without the Onion Brick--a thick tangle of lightly-battered and deep-fried onion rings. It is a great appetizer as it is perfectly crispy and rarely greasy. The Onion Brick is a challenge to finish for a party size of three diners or less. It feeds four to six hungry diners so it truly is one of the most economical choices for appetizers at less than P300.

The Rack's Ribs and Chicken Family Platter is comprised of a half-rack of beef ribs, a half-rack of pork ribs, one-half of the smoked spring chicken, two large sides, and a pitcher of soda. Everything was tender and moist and perfectly cooked, and Rack's signature BBQ sauces make the entire meal even better. Rack's regular BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy, and doesn't need much more. I occasionally add a dash of Rack's spicy BBQ sauce with it on days when I could tolerate a little more heat. Go easy on Rack's spicy BBQ sauce though!

Homey and clean ambience, ample parking, attentive staff.

Their chicken and ribs are so yummy and so tender. We also love their sauces and side dishes. I remember as a kid I loved going to Racks so it was great seeing a Racks nearby so we could enjoy lunch.

Very affordable food prices too, and lots of choices. Next time I'd have the clam chowder which I used to get when I was younger.

I was one of those patrons who felt sad when Rack's restaurants started to painfully close one branch after another. I felt that there would never be another resto that would know how to cook ribs the way they do. So fast forward to the late 2000 and Rack's was springing up branches from all over, i was so pleased I just had to visit the nearest one which was at the BGC where I brought my 2 sons. Since then they have been crazy for ribs!

It was lunch time on a weekday, we decided to have lunch in Paseo de Magallanes. The other restaurants was packed so we decided to go to Racks. My friend and I both ordered Racks Baby Ribs in half slab. Our side dishes was potato salad, coleslaw, gravy fries and Mac & cheese. The waiting time for our food was 15-20 minutes, we didn't mind because the staff was very accommodating they would give us an update. When the food arrived I was excited to try it out. I love their side dishes, especially the potato salad. The least side dish I like is the Mac & cheese, it seemed dry for me. The baby back ribs is definitely a must try, I would definitely visit again just for that.

Classic Pork Ribs - flame broiled & fire grilled. It has a characteristic smoked taste with all the flavors of their secret marinade locked in. The meat is soft and tender and lives up to RACKS promise of "falls off the bone" goodness.

Hickory Smoked Chicken, that has been flame grilled as well, was equally delicious! The meat is soft and tender with distinct flavor of herbs and spices.

Fish & Chips - This dish is served with a huge chunk of fish fillet that has been deep fried to golden brown & crispy perfection, with tartar sauce as the dip, and thick Belgian fries.

Banana Jamma was an instant favorite! The blend of the vanilla ice cream with the fresh bananas is so refreshing that you would definitely go back for more!

For family dinners that everyone can agree on, Classic Pork Ribs in Racks is our best bet. This branch is a bit out of our way; we only chanced upon it on our way to Paranaque. We ordered garlic and java rice, along with sides of mac and cheese and cheesy brocolli.

The place is clean and the staff are attentive. A satisfying dining experience.

This is our favorite grilled pork ribs joint. True to their tagline, it's really... "Flame grilled. Falls off the bone". The grilling is just right to make it juicy while the meat becomes so tender it just falls off the bone. It also goes perfect with their barbecue sauce. An order of half rack is perfect for 2.

Never miss out on their ribs. Period. No erase. No liquid paper. Hahaha.

Seriously, one of my comfort food is their premium boneless ribs, partnered with garlic rice, corn with carrots and clam chowder (I usually start with soup then the main dish).

Let me start with their ribs. I always order the premium boneless because it is juicy. You slice the meat together with a little fat of the meat, then dip it with their original rib sauce...delish! I forgot to mention that I don't want to make himay the meat that's why I always order the boneless. I must say that this is for resourceful (aka tamad) people like me who doesn't want to waste time separating the meat from the bones. Hahaha.

Their clam chowder soup? The sauce is thick and it is full of clam meat, so you know they never shortchanged you with the ingredients.

Their service? It is okay in general. I always stay there until 1am but I never hear them complain. The service is fast although sometimes it is not if the restaurant is full packed (which i totally understand).

My friend and I had a very late lunch here. We were very hungry at that time so we decided to have a heavy loaded meal here at Racks.

We ordered Racks Beef Ribs. I wasn't expecting for the meat to immeadiately fall out of its bone. It was so tender despite how it looked. It looked as if it was overcooked but it wasn't! Thumbs up for that. We also had their coleslaw and potato salad for side dish. I like the taste of coleslaw but the potato salad was very plain. Hoping that they could improve its taste; fact that the waitress recommended me to ordered that as my side dish. Then their Homestyle Mushroom Soup was really salty. Maybe if they made it creamier, it'll be well. Though my friend commented that it was too creamy for her. I wonder why. You just really can't please everyone.

Other than that, I am happy with the service that we received in this resto. Will probably comeback some other time. :)

Definitely a better-than-average ribs option and the perfect place to head to when one is craving for meat, meat, and more meat. However, while they can make a seriously good rack of ribs, other dishes just don't seem anything more than the standard.

The restaurant itself is situated conveniently within the South Park Plaza outside of Magallanes village. The interior is pleasant and though I've only been there at night, it gives me the impression of a countryhouse (the kind that may serve a plateload of pancakes and grits) with the white shutters, wooden floors, large windows, lightly colored walls, and booths. However, I have to admit that it also seems to work with the ribs and meat being served.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the pork ribs are fantastic. They are soft and tear apart easily. However, it is the combination of the ribs and the BBQ sauce (I personally prefer mild) that really amps up the taste of the meat. With a party of 12, we easily breezed through 3 orders of rack's classic pork ribs, 2 orders of whole fried chicken, and 2 plates of plain rice and another plate of sweet country relish rice.

The sweet country relish rice was a great side to have although more of a filler than the meat itself. The fried chicken was juicy on the inside but it seemed a little lacking in flavor and oily for my tastes. The biscuits were dry on the inside and even adding the honey that was provided couldn't mask the dryness. The gravy, while supposedly meant for the side order of fries, just didn't really seem to go (perhaps due to my Western palate) but worked much better with the rice, imo. Speaking of fries, the fries were cut fat but biting into it, it seemed more like fried mash potatoes than regular fries (very mushy on the inside).

At the end of the day though, for a rack of ribs and some good BBQ sauce, I may end up choosing to come back to Racks (probably for lunch next time to give me more time to digest). Definitely order the ribs and eat it with the sweet country relish rice. I would say skip the fries for a different side.

It was such a huge gap between the last time I ate here, just a few days ago, and the time before that, and their food is just as good as I remember it to be.

I always get the Hickory smoked chicken. The thigh part is always so moist and fall off the bone tender, which is basically a description for all of their BBQed meats. The breasts are a bit dry but what I do is I flake the meat off and dredge them in Rack's awesome sweet, sour, and caramely BQQ sauce, pulled pork style.

They also serve this loaf of battered onions that is absurd yet inviting. Prices seem steep but the serving size it huge so most of their dishes can be shared.

Delicious, familiar, and comforting.

I'm a little biased, but one of the best rib places in town. I'd go to lengths when I'm craving for my ribs and the only place that really comes to mind is Racks.

I'd go here for my birthdays, for special days with my family and just about anything that involves celebrating with people with an appetite. Let's just say this place is a good place to go to for groups. Eating here on special days has already turned into a tradition.

The last time I was here was a month ago. I just had a craving for ribs and just had to go to Racks at around 10pm, just because I couldn't bear not having ribs for a day longer. Talk about being a glutton at an ungodly hour of the day.

If you go here with a big group and don't know what to get, try getting their Racks Sampler. This sampler has all the must-trys of this restaurant--chicken, baby pork ribs, beef ribs. But for personal consumption, it would be a toss up between their Classic Pork Ribs and Baby Ribs. Just order a cup or two of rice and you're good to go.

Whatever you end up eating, you MUST not forget to use their dipping sauces. They have two variants: regular and hot spicy. The best way to experience these sauces is to mix them together on a 1/5 part hot spicy and 4/5 part regular depending on your tolerance.

You can never really go wrong with Racks. Bring a hearty appetite and just go all out.
