I usually see this place full so I was glad that only a few tables were occupied when I decided to go in. Love the vibe and the professionalism 👏👏👏❤️
The service is good, the food is amazing and surprisingly not very expensive. It's just that the ventilation is not that good.
As always, I go big when it comes to burgers. I've eaten at Pound 2 times and both delivered! Not my favorite place but they are on my list for top 5 burger joints in the South.

On our table:
• Secret Slider - Php110 via Booky App only
• Pound Poutine - Php180
• T.E Slider, Caramelized Bacon Alfredo with FOODEE Iced Tea - Php179
Food:
Nothing fancy with the pasta but I actually like the taste of the caramelized bacon on the alfredo. I mean it's bacon on a pasta.. you can't go wrong with that. 😄 The fries on the poutine is like a thin but longer size version of kfc fries and I think it shouldn't be like that? But anyway, I like that the gravy has a spicy kick into it. Makes me want to eat more. I'm a little disappointed with the T.E Slider's patty tho because it is a bit dry. My favorite is the Secret Slider. Not a fan of caramelized onion but it tastes good with cheese on the Secret Slider and the patty is so juicy too! 😍 One thing I also love about their slider is that they are using brioche buns. 👌🏻
Ambiance:
The black interior makes the restaurant look more classy and expensive. Gotta admit, at first I was hesistant to eat here. 😅
The price of food was worth it knowing that they're serving good quality food. Friendly staff and cozy restaurant. I'll come back for burgers and maybe try their poutine again. It's definitely worth a try. 😉👌🏻

Pound is tucked on the corner outside Alabang Tower Center along with Italiannis and Breadtalk though the restaurant itself is not noticeable. I first heard Pound from my cousin and finally, I was able to try this restaurant as this is where I had lunch on my sick leave.
As a first timer, I tried their classic burger with good ol' fries and iced tea. The beef was juicy and cooked in medium rare that makes it a delicious burger. While the iced tea is new to my taste, it was refreshing but the good ol' fries is your typical coated fries.
The price for the burger was worth it but not for the fries. Also, the ambiance is definitely classy with its black interiors while the staff are very nice and attentive. I'll definitely comeback here for good burgers and to try their Sliders soon.
Perfect burger. Good looking servers ❤️
At first glance, we thought the food was expensive here but it isn't. It's actually affordable. We always get one of the combos. Our favorite combo is the Backyard Cheeseburger + Good Ol' Fries + Iced tea. Patty is so big and fat! So affordable. I also especially love the fried pickles. Pickles! I can't get enough of the Truffle Risotto Tater tots. They are so good, I can make a meal out of them. Today, we also tried the Goat cheese salad --- looove it! We ended our meal with a slice of the flourless chocolate cake 💓
Oliver, our waitstaff, was lovely. He never changed expression when we told him we were using our #Booky app 👏🏻👏🏻. Although we have never ran into any untoward reaction yet while using this app, it still makes me wary since I’m not use to having discounts lol.
Our sliders were spot on, the salad was good but we had to put a lot of Parmesan cheese to get that taste to make up for the barely there dressing. When we asked for warm water, it was also the perfect warm water that we want, other places we went to never got it right. So why not 5 😉

I usually stick to the South, so it was great to know that Pound by Todd English was extending a branch in ATC. We were just looking to get a light dinner, and ended up availing one of their daily meals: One pasta, one slider, and iced tea for 179 php.
Serving size is quite small but was perfect for our appetite at the time. For the pasta you can choose from either the pomodoro or caramelized bacon alfredo. I much preferred the alfredo over the pomodoro, because the caramelization of the bacon really elevated the creamy saltiness of the white sauce. The pomodoro tasted rather one-dimensional in comparison after that.
For the sliders, I liked the freshness of the patty and tasted right off the grill. The brioche bun was delicious, and the fried onion strings added texture. My only disappointment is their Pound poutine, which I expected to be the usual poutine with plenty of gravy. There was hardly any sauce on our poutine, but the dish didn't taste bad. I just wouldn't call it poutine.
Service and delivery of food is quick. Ambiance is also nice. All in all a good experience and would definitely return again :)
Love the backyard burger and truffle fries and the sliders which are also good. Friendly staff. Nice place though a bit small. Great value for money, i highly recommend.
We ordered crispy goat cheese salad, Pound pomodoro, truffle fries, crispy chicken burger, double backyard cheeseburger, onion cube, roasted bone marrow, and milkshake.
The crispy chicken burger was so good! The slaw, the sweet sauce and aioli all complemented the chicken well. The backyard cheeseburger was good as well, juicy beef patties, but nothing to rave about. Truffle fries was okay. We also liked the onion cube, which says a lot because we're not really fans of onion rings, but their onion rings were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The bone marrow was just okay.
Really nice interiors, very classy, very stylish. The staff including the supervisor were all friendly, attentive and helpful.
The place gets really busy, especially on weekends. We went on a Saturday around 3pm and the place was almost full.
This place has the ambience and service of a fine dining restaurant but don't be intimidated by that. We ordered Amsterdam burger, backyard cheeseburger, and their poutine and it was so flavorful. Their food is high quality and worth the price. Give it a try!
The burgers we ordered here would sometimes vary. I mean sometimes it would be big, sometimes it would be small. The staff are very accommodating though so that was good.
Maybe it’s just me, but their burger is heavenly good. Their patty is the perfect temp and their buns are perfect too. I loved their poutine, though they forgot to take off the onions (which I particularly requested but anyway). The food and service was really amazing. Their serving size is perfect too, if not too good to be true considering the price especially for it’s quality. 5/5 super sulit! Will recommend and definitely will go back!!
I'd rate this place 6 🌟 over 5! Didn't expect it to taste so good! We ate the backyard cheesburger, amsterdam burger, onion cube, truffle risotto, choco milkshake, skillet cookie( im just listing everything here coz zomato wont take reviews less than 140 characters long). Everything was amazing though! :)
We were hesitant to have dinner with my friends at Pound, since the place looked too nice and expensive. We couldn't believe that the food we had were not that expensive. Plus, they were all mouth-watering too! I'll definitely come back here!
My go to place whenever I crave for pomodoro pasta , truffle fries, burger and onion rings ♥️ Quality foods that wouldn't hurt your budget. Must try!
ambiance was great. the server are all attentive and makes sure you get all your needs.
it was a bit pricey and serving size was small for me. but all in all i love the food 😊 serving time was also fast.
Ambience & interior are pleasing, with its posh industrial set up. The service is quick and got my order around 5mins. Staff are nice, and food is great! ☺️
Cozy restaurant. Attentive servers. This restaurant is perfect for a day out with friends because they only serve light meals. Small servings but still worth a try. 🙂
Food is delicious and burgers are available in snack sizes. Its design and menu screams of high class . When we got there, we are like the second table being served.
I hope more people try them. There are days for angels and jolibee and there are days wherere you just need to eat some good and real food.
I haven't tried the rest in their menu except for the sliders. It was good, I'm sure their full-sized burgers are good, too. The location is conveniently placed near Makati Supermarket.
I was just strolling around and just enjoying some quality me-time when I passed by this store. I was just looking through their menu and the servers were very nice to explain the items they have and they told me about the 55 peso-deals they have so I just went in to try it. I've got their pasta, 1 pc slider, onion cube and milkshake for just 55 pesos each item. The waiters were very attentive and would always serve with a smile. The food was good though the serving were just really small.
We didn’t have any plans of dining here and wanted to eat at our usual place for burger, wings and onion rings. On our way there, we passed by Pound and browsed their menu that was displayed outside. It was affordable and the place was not empty, looking at the people inside, I would say they were enjoying their food. The waiter assigned outside was helpful in answering my questions about their food and seemed knowledgeable. So we went inside, got a table and ordered. Staff were very friendly and assisted us all the time. The wait time was not a problem, it didn’t take them more than 10 mins to serve the food. I love all that we ordered. It was tasty and very delicious. Specially their Truffle Risotto Tater Tots!! It was so good!! And it’s only 75 pesos! The only downside was their onion rings, it was so oily but I don’t have any issues with the taste.
Had dinner with my friends here and we ordered 2 of their recommended burgers: Angus cheeseburger and chicken. Then we added white pasta w/ bacon tidbits and wings platter (14pcs, 3 flavors: garlic parmesan, honey, and buffalo). The cheeseburger is greasy and nothing really special but i liked the buttery buns used for it. The chicken burger was nice as well, big serving - will make you full while enjoying conversation over dinner. For the white pasta - we didnt like it that much. Its a solo size and 3 people shared it but its too creamy, just a bite or two was too much, we kinda had hard time finishing it. The wings platter is our favorite among our orders - tasted different compared to other establishments’ wings even though its pretty standard flavors. We totally loved the ambience/place and the overall service of the staff.
It was my first to try it this morning, and I’m impressed! Surprised by the quality of food (The patty that I had earlier is so juicy!) and amazed by the interior and utensils!!! Great service!
Nice ambiance, and food is good. My daughter enjoyed every bit of the TE Sundae as well as the Bacon Poutine. Presentation of the sliders were really nice but nothing really special about the burgers, my wife says. My daughter didn't like the chicken sliders that much (I had to finish it). I ordered the Moco with foie gras, and really enjoyed the taste and juiciness of their beef patty, and sizzling hot garlic rice topped with 🍳. The foie gras was okay, but didn't give me that melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction. Overall ⭐⭐⭐⭐. Will I be back? Hmmm...maybe when I have a craving for a burger steak?
Having tried their outlet in BGC, I decided to share the experience with my family. This new space is brighter and more welcoming.
With the decline is quality at 8cuts, we were in search for our next favorite gourmet burger place and I believe we have found it. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor. I ordered deep fried pickles to see what that is all about and it was interesting. I would suggest using dill pickles instead of sweet pickles to give the dish an extra zing. My son ordered from the secret menu and it was a flavorful monster. You should try it out.
The service was friendly and attentive. While a bit pricy, I would definitely visit this place again.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
The combination of a rainy day and Pound's mouthwatering offerings made for a pretty perfect lunch date. I had a hankering for burgers and ran through a list in my head of the burger places in the area, and chose this one. Great choice! I asked the server what their bestseller was as this was our first time here, and he said it was the Pound for Pound -- 2 sliders of their popular Todd English (T.E.) Crispy Chicken Burger and T.E. Burger, with all their accompanying sauces and slaws.
I was a bit hesitant about ordering that since sliders were mini versions of the classic burger sandwiches and I didn't believe we would be satisfied with small servings. But we couldn't argue with the very reasonable P195 price and chose the Pound for Pound for each of us. And I'm so glad we did! They were very filling! And now we both got to sample two different burgers each without going overboard, and can decide to try just one or the other of the regular ones next time.
Since I didn't realize how filling the sliders were at first, I ordered the Truffle Risotto Tater Tots as a side. I loved these! Quite heavy after 2 sliders (it's risotto after all!) but worth every bite. The truffle flavor came through very well, with or without the yummy Truffle Cream dip it came with. What can I say -- I love all things truffle!
Nicely rounding out our lunch was the very pleasant service they gave. Friendly, smiling, and personable servers were easy to talk to and make requests from. We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu.

Quick lunch here at Pound ATC before watching a movie. Love the burger, just perfect for one serving. I already tried their branch at BGC. Finally a branch in alabang. Yay! 👌 #MaeEats
Ordered the Pound for Pound sampler which consisted of 2 Sliders as well as the T.E. Poutine. Both were very satisfying.
The Sliders were full of flavor especially the crispy chicken slider. The chicken really was crispy and tender and not soggy. The T.E. Slider was OK though nothing really stood out for it. They were a bit smaller than expected but having 2 made up for it.
The Poutine was delicious, though it would probably be more authentic if the cheese curds were chunks instead of melted.
Price wise, both were just at an affordable price range for the quality and ambience that you get.
Overall, I'm really liking the idea of Todd English' "Gourmet food at an affordable price".
Came here almost 2pm today yet place is still packed. Must be the holiday. Was bummed at first that their card terminal was offline so i had to make a mad dash to an atm. Glad to find that they reserved my spot when i went back. So i got the famous foie gras burger and man it did not disappoint. Got mine cooked at medium and was seasoned just right. and the foie gras was the perfect icing on the cake. Twas the only item i ordered which is actually regretful bec eating the whole thing gives you that cloying feeling afterwards with all that hundo % beef. Would have been great to have paired it with any salad or added pickles to cut through that richness. Service was very good- courteous and friendly. Place a bit tight but interiors look posh. Will be back soon
So glad that good restos are coming down here in the far south! I have been hearing good reviews about Pound. So, did it meet my expectations? Let’s weigh in on it. 😉. Their space was quite small yet it exudes this classy yet cozy feel. It veers away from the usual casual burger diners out there. But it’s Todd English so diners would be in for a real treat.
We were about to end the day with a nice dinner as I've heard this restaurant serves good food. But then I had some issue with one of my orders. Things like that really happen sometimes but it could always be prevented. Hey wait, don't get me wrong! I'm not writing this to complain. I actually want to commend how the manager handled the issue. I also appreciated how the Team Leader assisted us. They successfully turned around our whole dining experience despite the disappointment I felt. Good thing, I still managed to go out glad and of course with a full stomach. Great customer service indeed! Plus, I can't really deny the fact that the food are great and with the serving size, it's worth every penny. By the way, this happened just a while ago. And since I was grateful, I'd like to return the favor and give them a good review because I feel like they really deserve it.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!Pound is in the far south! Yey!
Opening their 6th branch in Alabang Town Center, our friends from Foodee Global Concepts were so generous to invite me again to sample their sumptuous burgers and signature sides. Just one whiff of their risotto tater tots or truffled french beans make me so excited to eat here again.
This time, I was able to try the Pound Fois Gras Burger, paired with Fried Pickles and a sweet tangy sauce. I shared a Chicken Wrap with a friend, as well as a hearty helping of Todd English Poutine. Stuffed myself full! Haha
The Fois Gras Burger was a really fine indulgence, the succulent sous vide patty grilled to a medium cook, blackened on the outside but juicy pink on the inside, with the fois gras on top providing added texture and taste. I'm sure the boo will enjoy this one too.
The Chicken Wrap was uniquely refreshing, and the chicken was not dry at all, dressed with TE creamy sauce in a pocket of greens and pita. One order fills 2 people already!
What I love about Pound is their big servings, and the consistently delicious flavors of their burgers and sides. I had to bring the boo the week after this meet-up for him to taste Pound's amazing menu. And boy, they did not disappoint.
At the time we went back, the Dollar Deals menu was still availble so we were able to put my gift certificates to good use by ordering almost all dishes listed in the Dollar Deals menu. The boo definitely enjoyed the Todd English and Secret Sliders. These smaller versions of their signature burgers were worth a try and still filling despite their size. The Onion Cube was satisfyingly crispy! My favorite was the Goat Cheese Salad with the raspberry vinaigrette. Fresh veggies drizzled with sweet sour pink dressing, plus that goat cheese wanton that bursts more flavors to the salad.
Consistent with their other branches, the signature appetizers like Truffled French Beans and Truffle Risotto Tater Tots are still the favorites. For this new branch, I was also able to try the Todd English Poutine, crispy fries in their signature gravy topped with cheese sauce and ground beef. They also have Pizza Poutine! The boo, on the other hand, enjoyed his order of Portabello mushroom sliders.
Give them a try and visit this branch soon! You won't miss it as it's situated in Corte de las Palmas, and Pound chose a prime spot, albeit small but boy, they do get packed, with an ample line of eager patrons excited to taste Pound's juicy flavorful burgers.
Tried their crispy chicken sliders and although it could have used more seasoning, I liked it because it was tender and really crispy.
Too bad the place is too small. We had to wait for a table, which is fine because the wait wasn’t that long.
Finally! No need to go far to get some burgers 🍔. Only comment is that the place is small, like really small and can only accommodate a certain number of diners at a time. Better drop by during weekdays.

I wanted to wait until the excitement in finally having this shop in the south would abate, but the recent reviews of Foodie Dokie in two separate outlets yet the same positive experiences urge me to swing by to see if we can be accommodated, fortunately there was one table for two available that we were seated right away.
We tried:
the Pound Pomodoro pasta : it’s a MUST ORDER if you like the marinara at Cafe France, it’s in the same taste category.
The Backyard Cheeseburger: good choice for a first time visit, soft bun that allows the patty to shine.
The pound for Pound: you get 2 mini burgers that will allow you to have a taste of their Burger and the crispy chicken slider. So if you’re in a quandary as to which one to order, this is your best bet 😉. The good thing about the burgers, we didn’t have to use any condiment except the hot sauce. They are well prepared that all you have to do is pick it up or slice it and take a bite! We usually put all kinds of condiments to make the most of our burgers but not in this place 👌🏻. You even have a choice as to how you prefer your patty to be cooked.
The Onion Hay Stack: order this while you wait for your burger, it’s good.
The Parmesan Fries: but they served us the good ol’ Fries. When I mentioned this to one of the staff, Geraldine, she immediately apologized and wanted to replace with the right order but we declined since we have already started eating the fries. The Manager came by our table to asked how the food was and I again mentioned the glitch and she asked if we wanted to have it replaced, we again declined. Both offers to make amends were much appreciated, hats off to you 👌🏻. Ironically, when we got our bill, we got billed for the Parmesan instead of the one served, oh yes they again rectified the error. (Sigh) one would think that once the mistake was realized, one would rectify the billing...
Anyway, it’s a super place to have burgers and some, a better option from the usual places within the area. Yes it’s not just a hype, they do really have great food and good place to boot.
They’re not always busy so don’t be put out. If you don’t want to wait have your name listed down, do your stuff and come back, I’m pretty sure you’ll get accommodated right away😊

Pound in the South! Yes, finally. My favorite burger joint has spread its wings and landed near my location. They’re located beside their sister restaurant Sunnies Café. The place is relatively small and people gets to flocked so make sure to be there early. Staff assisted me with a smile and they are all really attentive and friendly. Here’s what I had:
Foie Gras Burger - Thick slab of Foie Grab (50g) on top of an inch house ground beef patty. So flavorful and juicy. Foie Gras was soft and just smelled lovely. I like that the patty was seasoned well too. No need to add any salt or pepper in it. Vegetables in it added more flavors to this already delicious burger.
Truffle Risotto Tater Tots - What a treat from Pound. This is probably what I love most about them. Risotto balls fried to perfection with Parmesan cheese. Dip it in the Truffle White Sauce and you’d be delighted to have ordered this on your next meal.
I also got to taste the Crispy Chicken Wrap. Crispy Chicken wrapped in Pita Bread with Lettuce, Anchovy and Creamy Dressing. It tasted so good too. Perfect for health conscious people.
OMG Brownie - This Milkshake has chocolate syrup and brownie bits. When I first had it, my world stopped for some seconds. So, I ordered it again and I still got the same feeling.
I am just a happy kid as Pound is now near me. Can’t wait to be back.
After a pleasant experience trying Pound by Todd English at High Street, BGC this time last year, I thought I'd give the new Alabang branch a go. I was happy that they still have the same good quality meat inside great tasting burgers. I picked the #Backyard double cheeseburger with fried egg and Good ol fries. It was very nice. Would recommend it. The ambience is engaging and the servers are attentive. Give this place a go when you're in the Alabang area.

Pound by Todd English is an offset of Todd English in BGC (one of my favorites)..their T.E.Sliders is one of the favorites on the menu so a place dedicated to their burgers (and sliders) was inevitable...
They just opened this branch and they are having this fantastic promo of 'A Doller per Pound' where you get to pay just P50 ($1) on a limited 5 dish menu
We had the TE Slider and the Secret Slider (both are good, though the beef is on the dry side but it all worked good--grilled onions/onion rings/cheese/sauce) The grilled bun was soft as expected.
A surprising favorite is the Pomodoro Pasta. Crunchy bits of toasted garlic, pomodoro saice and cheese..definitely good
The Onion Rings cube (arranhed to shape like a cube) is a tad oily but hugely complemented by the sweet spice dipping sauce.
Truffle Ketchup fries..The fries were perfectly done in my opinion a balance of soft on the inside yet crisp outside slivers of spuds. The ketchup had an earthy truffle flavor of the oil into it, interestingly good as well.
My friend had Crispy Goat Cheese salad which I thought was okay.
Since this was sort of a 'tasting menu' the servings are smaller than the usual but at least you get to have an idea of what they offer.
Staff is friendly and service was efficient
Will definitely be back next time 😁
Been meaning to try this place in BGC but never came around too but since it's newly opened in town I was finally able to try it. I got the burger on their secret menu and it was really good but the patties were a little too well done for me. The chicken sandwich is really good and I recommend that. The prices are very reasonable.

Finally!! Pound by Todd English is now in the South, Alabang Town .I'm ecstatic when I've learned that we will have Pound here in this part of the metro.
I love this restaurant with the hashtag #AffordableLuxury tasty delicious burgers,pastas and even rice meals in an elegant setting without hurting the pocket.
These are items that I constantly enjoyed Crispy Goat Cheese Salad ,the Amsterdam Burger, Sizzling Pound Moco rice meal and the creme dela creme The Foie Gras Burger.
This time I change my order into a modified one chose the Backyard CheeseBurger as my base ,single patty only though if you're a voracious eater you can have double patties,I topped it with sauerkraut and a single foei gras as add one,though you can add a variety of options to make it your own.The BackYard Cheeseburger single is a sandwich with T.E. House Patty ,Cheese ,tomato,onions and lettuce.
Also for the first time I've tried the Todd English Poutine a comforting dish of fries made into a gratin like dish smothered with house gravy ,wonderful cheese sauce and tasty ground beef. Other dishes were
theTruffle French beans an innovative way to enjoy this veggies,crispy tasty and unique.The addition of the truffle provided sophistication .And as dessert,
the TE Sundae, super like the incorporation of the calming vanilla ice cream into the chunky chewy chocolatey taste of the brownies a handsome way to finish a meal.
Overall a wonderful night of good and great company.And as I frequent Alabang area specially on weekends this is a great place to have a burger.

Pound finally opened in Alabang Town Center late last February 2018 with an initial opening month of November 2017, and I got an invite through the generosity of Foodee Global Concepts and looloo. One thing that i enjoy at Pound is their consistency. I arrived on time as always and was quickly given their menu slash place mat. Tried a number of sides and burgers by sharing with my fellow foodies.
Foie Gras Burger - a generous serving of soft, delicate foie gras on top of a huge sous vide cooked, grilled to finish ground beef, with a foie gras mousse, and lettuce, tomato slice and onions. It might look small but boy was it filling. The foie gras is decadently buttery, smooth and paired well with the soft lightly toasted bun.
The Poutines - Todd English and Bacon poutines served in a small cast iron pan. Be careful because it is extremely hot. Crisp potatoes, with melty mozzarella cheese with thick cut bacon. Pairs well with their burgers.
Truffle French Beans - such a cool appetizer! All along i was expecting a blanched dish with a drizzle of truffle oil but was served with something much cooler... A fried battered french beans with a pungent taste of truffle oil.
T.E. Sundae - double scoop of vanilla ice cream with brownies and caramel and chocolate sauce. So simple yet satisfying.
Overall, a chill restaurant with a different feel once you step inside. Must visit because they currently have their one dollar menu back in all stores. How awesome is that. Recommended.

Both the beef and the chicken burgers are delicious. The patties are cooked perfectly. When it comes to sides, the truffle risotto tater tots are the best! I also like their bacon and the onion cube. My only suggestion for improvement is that the ATC branch install a sink and/or provide wet wipes so that diners can wash their hands after digging in, especially as their burgers are mad juicy.
