Great food. Pure and simple. No pretensions, just roll up your sleeves good eating. Try the Ms Piggy sausage and their juicy-plump pork chops. Oh and that pepperoni pizza on an unusual fluffy dough is to die for!
The food is great. Excellent service.
They even let us taste a dish that's not yet in their menu.
Superb!
Recommended dishes: pork chops, chorizo sausage, lamb and olive sausage, carbonara fetuccini, liver pate, mashed potatoes
So-so dishes: truffle cream pasta
Dish that changed over time: Caesar's salad used to be served with two strips of thick but crispy to die for bacon. The bacon is gone and you can't even order it as an extra. Really sad about this.
Ambience: Nice decor, though the interior is a little on the dark side, doesn't get overly noisy
Service: The waitress is chill -- she's friendly, efficient, polite and leaves you alone to your food. The waiters keep changing, maybe because they're rude? One of them slid our extra plate onto the table towards instead of placing it carefully down. Hello. It's not like it's heavy.
Value for money: The servings are generous and the taste is worth the price. If there are two of you and you both mind your portion sizes, you can definitely share a meal.

It is always good to return to Spice & Cleaver, with its wide selection of sausages and other dishes. I had the following during my latest visit there:
1) Artisanal Sausages (1 piece for P320; 2 pieces for P580)
Pizza Sausage (Pork sausage with sun-dried tomatoes, Italian spices, and cheese)
Texan Sausage (Tex-Mex-flavored pork sausage with chili and cheese)
There are many kinds of artisanal sausage available for guests to choose from, and all of them (excluding The Mask and the Mamasan varieties) come with a healthy serving of mashed potatoes and sauekraut. Guests can also mix and match instead of get two of the same variety of sausage.
My favorite of the two varieties is the Pizza Sausage, thanks to the earthy taste of rosemary and the creamy cheese when hot. This is best enjoyed when hot to avoid the dish from becoming greasy. I suggest alternating each bite of sausage with the creamy mashed potato and the crunchy and sour sauerkraut.
2) Asparagus (P180)
These asparagus spears are crunchy, peppery, and have a slight spicy kick thanks to the paprika sprinkled on top. A good contrast to the heavy and rich sausages.
3) Banana Chocolate Bread Pudding (P250)
I enjoyed the fluffy bread pudding. The mild taste of banana and chocolate contrasts with the cooling and light vanilla ice cream served on top. As usual, my golden rule applies: let the ice cream melt for a bit on top of the dessert to let it cool and absorb the vanilla flavor.
4) S&C Iced Tea (P120)
This sweet drink is good to have for a contrast in flavor to the rich flavors of the meal. I suggest stirring the drink once in a while to evenly distribute the flavor.
Their sausage is a must try! Chorizo pasta was okay. We love their onion rings, it’s just hard to eat because it is not actually ring shaped anymore (like how I expect it to be, since it is onion rings). The onion rings are shredded into small pieces, which makes it really hard to dip in its delicious sauce before eating it. It’s my first time to try a blue cheese cheesecake here, it was amazing! 💕
We will definitely come back to try their other dishes like the ribs and pork belly.
PS. I think they should have more manpower and nicer waitresses.
I thought I was going to pass out with my order. Not because it isn't good but because I ordered too much for a pax, hahaha. Two sausages can be for sharing since they come with mashed potato and sauerkraut. I accompanied it with their breadbasket. Their condiments of regular mustard, sweet mustard and chili paste stimulated my appetite and I managed to finish my meal.
Dining at Spice and Cleaver will require a good budget but it's worth it. Better enjoy it with friends too.
If it's just for the awesome truffle cream corn, this place deserves a 5! It's the perfect balance of creamy, savory, indulgent, and heavenly goodness.
The rub on their pork is on point. Sausage is juicy and flavorful. The cook of both is good. Service is nice and quick and the ambience is pretty chill.
I will definitely recommend and come back to this place! I had the tenderest, juiciest Bratwurst with rustic mashed potatoes and the most amazing sauerkraut I've ever tasted 😋 I love love love this place! ❤️ I can't wait to try their other dishes!
The sausages were divine! I randomly picked out the Lamb with Olive variety and later found out that it was a best seller. I love lamb and this sausage really highlights the flavor. Because I also love pizza, I tried out the pizza sausage. It had all the customary Italian seasonings and the taste lives up to the name.
A two-sausage serving with sauerkraut and mash is quite a lot for one person. You can opt for only one sausage served with the same sides. However, for a group, I feel that they should offer a sampler platter.
My first time to eat here and it didn't disappoint. The steak, pasta and sausages are on point. I specifically love the sauerkraut with the sausages. Price for the steak is good considering the huge size. Overall the servings are good for sharing.
Great food. Generous serving. Reasonable price. Great service. Love, love the Sisig sausage and Baby back ribs! We will definitely come back. ❤❤❤
