Steak meal that are affordable. Music being played is good too. Nice ambience.

I love the fish and chips,specially the bacon pasta.Don't forget the sweet and tender ribs..
It's my first time eating here and i'm not disappointment! Big thanks to miss chel the one who assisted us and offered a package including a racks club card. The card includes free onion bricks that is good for three person. the RCC pork ribs is also good. It grilled perfectly and juicy. 5 star overall!!
The food is good, the RCC Pork Ribs are tender and juicy and it also goes with a package of 4 side dishes in just a low price, and the onion brick is also free if you get a racks club card which is also good and especially miss chel who assisted us is also good at socializing with customer and also good at giving information for the menu's thus so i rate 5 star for both the restaurant and the staffs.
Very yummy ribs that falls off the bone. Good serving too. Just enough for 2 people depending on your level of hunger. We were told that the rice was spicy but we didn’t think it was spicy at all. Cheesy broccoli was okay, I was a bit overwhelmed with the cheese (tasted like cheez whiz the sandwich spread) so I had to pair it with the meat. Meal bundle doesn’t include drinks so if you want juice or soda you have to order separately.
✅This is not the first time i ate here, i must say it was always a good experience everytime i dine.
✅The staffs are very accommodating and they give service with a smile.
✅Our food served on time, hot and well plated. I would say they have the best ribs that so tender and it detached to the bone. The sides and drinks was good and refreshing.
✅The place has a good ambiance, clean, more tables and couches for the customers.
✅ Hoping that the blue plate promo will be permanently on their menu because it was affordable and at the same time it has lots of combination of food to choose from. The food is worth the price. Will dine in again soon.
Rib & Chicken Plate w/ Mac & Cheese 🥩🍗🍚🧀
Lemon Garlic Grilled Spring Chicken w/ Corn on the Cob & Gravy Fries 🍋🍗🍚🌽🍟
The tagline of this restaurant "best ribs in town" says it all. Reasonable price for a good quality and good tasting food. Also the ambiance is great.
Our dining experience in Racks last weekend was amazing. It was my first time eating there and I must say this is gonna be my new favorite restau. They really have the ”Best ribs in town”. ❤️
We ordered Garlic Scampi Pasta, Racks baby ribs half slab, Carolina gold pork ribs, and Dalandan juice.
Each meal comes with 2 side dishes. We had mac n cheese, baked beans, mashed potatoes, and gravy fries.
Food was so great! As in really! The pork is soft, tender and flavorful. Big in serving. The place has a homey ambiance. The staffs were attentive and friendly.
With this kind of experience, the money is really worth it. We walked out of the place with a big and happy tummy. 😋
I came here with my family, we were 8. But me and my GF went ahead while the others are still on the way. They entertained us right away and even offered us a table even though the others are still not there. The food was excellent, we ordered their Racks Sampler plus another set of various ribs and chicken (I forgot the name).
I can easily say that their ribs, both pork and beef are the best that I have tasted. The meat is so soft that you can chew it easily. Their Original Sauce is also very good.
Ambiance is normal but overall, it is definitely a must try. :)
This is my favorite branch of Racks! I will say that the ribs are good at every branch, much like the rest of their food, but the service here is consistently amazing and I've been going here for eight years!
If I had one tiny complaint, PLEASE make the corn bread the default for your ribs. I have to keep asking for corn rather than garlic bread and sometimes (not in this branch) my servers forget the request.
Other than that, great job, Racks!!!
Scheduled our christmas party here and had a reservation. Portions of food are large, meat is very flavorful. You get great value for money here. Baby back ribs is the best!
We tried the full slab of their special ribs, I think it was just good for this holiday season and I liked it. I can't remember what it's called though. It comes with two side dishes and the serving size is decent. We were told that serving time takes about 15 mins but it was actually shorter so, that's a good thing. It may be a bit pricey for some.
I can remember my dining experience here because this is my last day eating meat before I became a pescatarian... Service is awesome and food is good.. I love the flavour on their steak and chicken.. something that can be done better is the cook on the pasta, they can add some more flavour to it and improve the presentation... but overall, a good dining experience to celebrate my niece’s birthday...
I've always been a fan of Rack's Ribs and their other savory offerings. Their higher price range just limits my visits. A recent move called the Blue Plate series, however, enables solo diners like me to access their menu at a lower cost, below the Php 500 per head range. And since it is October, the Oktoberfest is another opportunity to celebrate with them.
A pair of meats and German beer awaits you in all their branches this whole month of October. Rack's has new dishes to match your alcohol cravings. I highly suggest going for the Ultimate Party Platter (Php 975) if you are a group of at least 4 and up. It comes with really tasty Spicy Garlic Wings, plump and filling Hungarian and Garlic & Cheese Sausage, smoky and lean Bacon Slab and German Potato Salad. You may get a Paulaner beer to match or a Santa Luz bottle of wine.
Individual plates are available as well. The BBQ Glazed Bacon Plate comes with 2 bacon slab, eggs, regular side and rice for just Php 395. Rack's also serves my favorite Spicy Garlic Wings in 10 pieces for just Php 355! It's a certified spiced up sweet treat!
I know there are many options for you to visit for Oktoberfest. Rack's should be one of your picks, the latest products says it all.
My husband and I dined here yesterday for his birthday. We ordered Bacon Aglio Olio and Racks sampler. For our side dishes, we had mashed potatoes and beans. The bacon in the pasta was so good. It was salty and cooked just right. The serving of the bacon was also generous considering it was for a single serving. However, the pasta itself was bland. It seems as though the bacon flavor was not properly infused in the pasta.
The racks sanpler was served either with corn or garlic bread. The staff said it was good for 4 but we think that it can only serve 3. The ribs (both pork or beef) was tender and flavorful. The chicken and baby ribs were so-so. The mashed potatoes was too runny for my liking.
If you’re looking for good ribs, this place is the perfect area! Service was okay, food was okay. Uhmm, a little bit disappointed about their A/C. It’s a bit warm inside but I guess they could rectify it soon :)

I really love their Carbonara ❤ They also serve the best mashed potatoes. Also, Racks baby ribs is so delicious ☺ Lalong gumanda and lumaki ung place nung nagrenovate sila. However, minsan talaga matagal ung waiting time but still, ang sarap talaga ng food dito.
They renovated soooo its a plus point! Mas gumanda yung place for me and the food never disappoints. Kapag nag cracrave ako ng meat laging ito choice namin kainan, marami yung servings and maganda yung quality ng meat. Madaling kainin yung meat kasi sobrang soft niya while yung chicken masarap din! The only food na hindi ko nagustuhan is yung mac and cheese na side dish, lahat kami inayawan yung lasa niya and quite disappointing since sabi ng waiter na best side dish sita including the mashed potatoes. Nakakaadik din yung sauce nila! Mabilis naman sila mag serve ng food and malinis yung place pero di maiiwasan na maingay lalo na kapag may mga bata pero over all I would totally recommend this place lalo na kapag family kasama niyo~
The food is great. The food portion was good for the price. Their salads is good. Their soups are tasty. And the ribs are impeccable, they really do stay true to their tagline. The service crew are very accommodating and friendly.
We ordered a platter consist of fried chicken and baby back ribs with side dish broccoli and mac & cheese. I should say the food was good, good enough serving, restaurant is clean, nice ambiance, pricey.
1. Fried Chicken☆☆☆☆- Evenly cooked, crunchy, juicy and huge chicken.
2. Baby Back Ribs☆☆☆☆- The meat is tender, I'm not really crazy about it but its good tho.
3. Side Dish☆☆☆- I was disappointed that they overcook the broccoli, Mac & cheese is just fine.
If you want a good comfort food with extremly delicious melt in your mouth ribs then RACKS is the place to go to. I'm in love with this restaurant I never liked ribs but this changed the game for me I crave for their tasty bbq sauce that goes well with the ribs, the Mississippi mud pie is phenomenal I love how the hot chocolate cake goes well with the icy cold vanilla ice cream. MUST TRY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Dined here with my best friend last December and it was fully packed. Good ribs and fast service. Would have been perfect only if it wasn't that crowded. Defies the fine dining ambiance, to be honest ☹️
A family friendly place. The resto serves good food with very generous portions. The staff are always friendly and more than happy to assist you always, last I checked tho the place was under renovation.
Update: Place is now newly renovated!
It was my first time eating here and I must say that it was an awesome experience!
First, I didn't expect that food will taste super great! Naadik ako sa mash potato which was really creamy with or without gravy! Iced tea was uhmmm! I enjoyed it masarap.
Second, rush hour or parang lunch time when we got there pero so far attentive naman yung crews and were really nice.
Third, ambiance was okay. Malaki sa Sm North. Yun nga lang ang sikip sa couches.
Overall, masaya ako sa first experience ko sa Rack's and I would definitely go back!I hope na consistent sila with other branches. :)
Baby back ribs and the sidings does not disappoint. Everytime we eat here, our family walks out with happy tummies. If we want filling and satisfying food but not willing to risk being disappointed, this is our go to place.
OCTOBER 27, 2017
Ate here for my post-birthday celebration with the family. We ordered their Surf n' Turf family platter which includes Full Rack Pork Ribs, Fish & Chips, Pasta Platter (we chose Carbonara), 3 large dishes (we opted for gravy fries, corn and carrots, coleslaw) and 2 pitchers of iced tea, We also made an additional order of Full Slab Baby Ribs and Half order of their Southern Fried Chicken.
FOOD:
The pork ribs were so soft and really falls off the bone. Yum! Though for me, the pork ribs tasted a little bit bland without Rack's signature barbecue sauce which made it complete. And the Baby Ribs is a must-have!
I was genuinely surprised with the Fish & Chips. I didn't expect the large serving of fish fillets. And just as I anticipated, it tasted sooo good too! A little more on the salty side but I like food salty so who am I to complain?!
The fries is also good too. Right amount of saltiness. Be careful though--too much fries will make you feel full alot faster. Gravy was so-so. Haven't had a taste of the coleslaw and the corn & carrots.
The carbonara was delicious too! My aunt suggested to order some more.
The Southern Fried Chicken was a bit disappointing though. Nothing extraordinary about it. And my brother and aunt complained that the buttermilk biscuits were tough to chew and swallow. Haha a bit ironic that their ribs are softer.
SERVICE & PLACE:
Service is alright. Some servers were inattentive and keep ignoring us when we asked for water and in taking our bill. The place was average on size, not too small and not too big. Tables were a bit close to each other but atleast no bumping chairs into each other.
OVERALL, it was a great dining experience. Everyone in the family felt full and genuinely liked the food. Will definitely come back.
Mom and I had a great time at Racks last monday. We ordered: Smoked spring chicken plate and fish and chips plate with dalandan juice and 2 side dishes. It’s our first time to dine in here and it’s worth it!!! Mom enjoyed her spring chicken because it falls off the bone and the meat is so tender. I enjoyed my meal too! Best fish fillet ever. (Hindi malansa! Promise.) And also, their serving is big. In terms of service, staffs were very accommodating and well mannered. ❤️
ORDERED:
Onion Brick - crunchy and onion taste is not that strong, recommended for all onion lovers
Fish and Chips - typical taste, not so special
Full Slab of Baby Back Ribs - a must-try with Rack's Original BBQ sauce
Buffalo Wings - a bit spicy and sour but worth a try if you are craving for chicken wings
Mississippi Mudpie - so far, this is the best mudpie I have eaten
AMBIANCE:
Not too cozy but good for family bonding.
STAFF:
Friendly and I noticed the smile on their faces is always there.
I've been to Racks many times before & it was only last night that I noticed or learned that they don't charge "service fee". Not sure if this is new or I just did not notice before. Anyways, I must say that they have the best fish & chips which was unexpected since Ribs is their main dish. Everything was okay including their service 👍
Had a meeting here on a Thursday evening. The good thing was they have a separate place for close door meetings (which is good).
We ordered the classic ribs, fish and chips, some salad, and carbonara. As usual, Rack's food is amazing.
Service is quite outstanding as well especially when we asked for our food to be wrapped (since we have a lot of leftovers). Price is reasonable. The place is very conducive for small group meetings (8-10ish).
Very affordable. Perfect for family treat and friends..
.. the steak, chicken pork and beef are all satisfying. Side dishes are perfect complement. You can choose from corn, salad...Great ribs,Excellent service. Good manager. Baked beans very good. Restaurant was crowded but the service was good and the food was delivered.My husband he really like the sauce and the softness of steak.
Racks SM north
We came here for the ribs, which is napili ng friend namin na dito kumain dahil masarap nga daw dto.
Glazed Memphis baby's inorder namin and found it really tender and tasteful. :)
The staff were attentive too. Good service tlga. Sure tlgang babalik kami. �
PS: check out the 2nd photo, muntik maubos kahit super busog na kami. 😊
Trying the Sriracha Pork Ribs of Racks Flame Grill and Falls Of The Bones. The tag lines says "Where East Meets Best". Interesting? So I got a quarter for Php455.00, it includes 1 pc rib, java rice and regular side (I choose coleslaw).
🐷Sriracha Pork Ribs - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
"Although it taste good and the meat was tenderly cooked but surprisingly, it is not spicy. I expect a spicy pork ribs because as we all know Sriracha is a hot and spicy sauce..."

Visited the place with my mom and sister. The place was okay. Typical mall restaurant. The food was good. The serving was big. For me, you get more than what you pay for. Although, at peak hours, expect many people and you'd have to line up for a table.
Food...its perfect
But its tooo pricey...
We ate steak and pasta. We are 3 but our bill is almost 5k...
I did not try to go there again unless i have my relatives from abroad who will treat me...
We celebrated my brother's birthday here. I love the ambiance of this place, no loud music, you can just hear the noise coming from great conversations of the diners. Their pork ribs are very soft, tender, fall-off the bone, but the taste is too smokey. I prefer more the one with a sweet barbecue taste. Their pastas taste great. Their items are all big servings except for their side dishes.
The food is very outstanding like my review on Racks Greenhills (just try their Mississippi Mudpie and Pork Ribs). The place is good even if this is more crowded than their Greenhills branch. The ambiance is comfy and the staff are really really pleasing like their other branch we dine-in.
Had to try out their Sriracha Ribs as I'm curious as well on what's their take on it. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the dish. The taste of Sriracha was there and the ribs were very tender. The sides were a good pair with it but I was hoping for some sweeter sidedish for variance. But all in all, the food was great and I'm gonna try out their other offers as well.
Everything we ordered and ate here was delicious to my taste. From the appetizers, salads and main course, to dessert. Perhaps we are able to adapt to the tastes of westernians. Employees are courteous and well-manner. But I am only giving it 3.5 stars because of the serving size vs price.
Ribs are really good and their shakes are equally amazing. However the ambiance would do some work. Service is ok, not really the best. All in all, would go back definitely. :)
Love the buttermilk fried chicken and the buttermilk biscuits and the onion brick is crunchy. We also ordered the fish and chips which my auntie liked,the clam chowder is good and the shrimp scampi was ok. The service was also nice and we were seated right away. The ambient temperature is a little too warm but I t think it's because of the mall.
This is my favorite place whenever I crave for baby back ribs. The meat is so tender and very tasty. You can choose your own side dish and they have a lot of choices.
Well its pricey, we all know that, but I definitely order their back ribs over and over. it's tender, I've tried on both Megamall and North Edsa branches at pareho pa din yung lasa, I'm saying this because we sometimes experience diff taste / experience / service on each branches, and I didn't experience that in Racks. 👍👍
These days (years?), it doesn't come to mind when choosing a resto, at least for me... Probably because of all the restos popping up all over, you really get excited to try new places... Some old favorites are forgotten for a while, as people ride a new food fad... Well, Racks has been around for years and I can't believe that it has taken me this long to come back for their ribs! 😜
Once seated, my friend and I took a bit of time to re-orient ourselves to their menu... We both ordered the quarter order of the classic ribs, each came with 2 side dishes and your choice of garlic or corn bread... We also ordered bottomless iced teas, which was the best decision of the day! Their iced tea was great, which is a big deal for me...😍
When the ribs came, my friend reached for the barbecue sauce, took of the cap off and emptied about half the contents onto her plate! I took the more subtle approach, but I must have finished the other half of the barbecue sauce onto my plate a little at a time... Haha, different methods, same outcome, same love for their famous barbecue sauce!👍😍👏 their ribs are as juicy, tender and flavorful as I remembered! I chose the corn bread over the garlic bread, which was just okay for me... I also chose the corn and carrots and the potato salad as sides, which was good!🌽 My friend enjoyed their broccoli and cheese and the gravy fries...🍟 We were so full after our hearty meal!
I have to commend their service! The staff is very well trained and well spoken... They would refill half empty iced tea glasses without us having to ask, offered to place the bones in a doggie bag, promptly and attentively came to our table when we called their attention... My friend and I appreciated the service very much!👍👍👍 very enjoyable food and drink, very pleasant experience!👏
We had a family dinner here ordering the Racks Sampler and Racks Baby Ribs since the kids love eating baby back ribs. It was good that we order the Racks Sampler because we were able to taste all their meat menu. What I like about their meat is the texture, it is soft but it still nice on the bite. I like best the beef ribs. What I don't like is the taste or the lack of it. You really need to use their bbq sauce to add flavor on the meat. Their side dishes are also on the average or your usual side dish. We got the corn on the cob, mashed potato and gravy fries (though I wonder where's the gravy because we only got the fries). What we really loved is the dessert. We ordered the Mississippi Mud Pie and it was amazing! A really must try.Service is also great; even if the place is quite busy and full packed the staff are still attentive on the needs of their customers, you just need to call their attention. There's always a queue to be seated but you won't wait that long. The waiting is when you placed your order. I guess it would take sometime to grill your meat order.
I have probably dined in more than 100 branches of racks across manila. Really love it. Family oriented restaurant. Good for dates as well. Items are pricey a bit but u won't regret the all time favorite classic boneless slab of pork. The reason I go to racks is just for that. Nothing else. I usually purchase the sauce and the pork slab to cook at home on Sunday's. Love the taste of racks. U will too ❤️💯
I fell in love with Racks not once, twice or thrice but for many times!!! I always put on my order their baby back ribs with two side dishes. (Coleslaw and fries & gravy) I actually enjoy their food everytime I eat at Racks. Really worth the penny! No regrets, just eat!
15 to 20mins of serving (medyo matagal lalo na kung gutom ka na talaga but I assure you, matatakam at mabubusog ka naman talaga!!!) Good service. Good ambience. Friendly waiters.
Heard this restaurant from my brother, and what he told me is that their food is expensive. So, my officemates decided to have our dinner here before we go to our office. We ordered Southern Favorites platter para makatipid and to taste some of their menu. Consist of ribs, chicken, mashed potato and pasta. You'll love their food. Super sarap but mahal.
After 3 years of abstinence, I finally succumbed to my son's request to eat at Rack's as I previously didn't have a good experience in their El Pueblo branch.
Top choice granted of half rack ribs(super tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork)! Added Southern Chicken with corn bread (best if they improve their gravy) shrimps scampi (delicious!) clam chowder soup (very good choice), onion brick (literally the size!) and for dessert---mudpie (just heavenly)!
I regret not giving in earlier...this is definetly one awesome sauce!
Our dining experience in Racks is really good. The staffs are very accommodating,eager to serve you and the service is fast. I ordered Garlic Shrimp pasta. I find it a little bit salty maybe because of the parmesan cheese but still it's good. The steak is thin and pricey for me. I love to try their other dishes.
The best baby back ribs ever!
Just when we thought Texas Roadhouse steaks in Dubai are the tastiest, Racks in QC definitely won us over.
The bbq sauce is perfect and the steak is oh so soft It melts in your mouth.
The only downside is that the broccoli tasted blunt and the mashed potato tasted like plain margarine.
But overall, the steak is outstanding. 🍽🎉
The taste of their classic pork ribs never changed since then ( well at least for me!)tender and meatier as ever. One of the restos that would leave you with a good burp.
Early dinner with wife, she had the surf n turf, I ordered the beef ribs. My wife's steak was very thin just like a minute steak done medium, taste was ok i took bite.
The beef ribs was a little under seasoned but was very tender. For sides we got corn on the cob, coleslaw, pasta salad and mashed potatoes. I didn't like the pasta salad, it was bland but the rest was good. I really like their hot steak sauce, it was tangy, sweet and just the right heat that kicks from behind.
Ugh. The best ribs! Really thankful for the one who made this restaurant. Their baby back ribs are just... perfect. And I really love the mashed potato but our last order at Racks, it's not available 😢 nonetheless still enjoyed it. I always celebrate my birthday here 💝
Fast service and the food is always served hot. The staff here are much more friendly and attentive especially this one guy who named Elvin. I will definitely be back for more. The best baby ribs in town!
I've try to install this apps. Its just because of my friend who really loves foods. Then Racks SM North was flashback in my mind. i really enjoy the food what suggested to me i guest its a Blue Plate or whatever which is a combination of sweet ribs, chicken and a glass of soda. The price is more cheapier than their other ribs. But because of the waiter who talk and assist me namely micko i enjoyed the time i spent at racks. I will come back someday and i hope you will be my waiter again. Thanks for the great dining experience.
Classic pork ribs stands out. And the extra hot sauce really jive when combined. Service is only average. But the cleanliness of the restaurant is above average 👌
My all-time favorite American restaurant! They have the best ribs in town - smoked, tender and succulent! Similarly, all the dishes we ordered were as tasty, with the right amount of seasoning to tickle your palate for your hungry tummies. The fried ones like the fish dory, buffalo wings and onion rings weren't drenched in oil.
Their food serving is truly huge! You get value for your money's worth. Wait time was reasonable and the staff amiable.

This branch of Racks has probably the best service among all branches, and being fully booked all the time is a good proof of that. Service is fast yet welcome. Staffs keep a good smile every time and managers are always doing rounds to follow up orders or attend to your needs. A sudden raise of hands is met with an eager server to heed your call.
They also have the best ribs around. I am not really a fan of ribs, but theirs are just so succulent and tender, I don't want to stop eating. Onion rings brick wall is always a must-order for me as it serves as a good appetizer while waiting for the meat to cook.
For the pasta, I have an incredible liking for their carbonara and shrimp scampi. The carbonara is saucy and has a balance between meat and sauce. The shrimp scampi has enough saltiness to make it delicious.
I prefer the regular ribs than the innovative versions maybe because of the taste and appeal to the tongue. Fish and chips is also good and not dry.
I love this branch better than trinoma.the staffs are nice and very accomodating to our needs. We are seated almost at the back for table for two but we ask to change our table coz i wanted to seat at the couch and they gladly assist us. foods are served fast. I love their.Memphis baby back ribs so does their pasta. And don't forget to try the Mississippi mud pie! It's a must!
Fast service and the food is always served hot and the taste is consistent each time I visit. Compared to their other branches, the staff here are much more friendly and attentive. I also liked the fact that they get you gravy refills (no extra charge) even though you only ordered the gravy fries and you didn't order any chicken. One time my dad ordered a small bottle of wine and they served it like it came from the freezer. Maybe they should check the guidelines to serving wine at what ideal temperature first before they offer it on their menu? I know Racks isn't really fine dining and most Pinoys like their wine chilled but some really don't.

Their Baby back ribs Rock! Service is great! Rackawesome! 👊🏻 Try their Fried chicken, crispylicious with honey side dip. And their sauce, hotsauciness! 😋
Craving for some ribs? Im pretty sure racks is the nearest place and best place for you. Racks has been around for decades. Famous for baby back ribs! Then you should try the racks classic pork ribs! So yummy! Try the buffalo wings too. Wish it was more spicy. Not for the budget conscious. A little pricey. Good customer service to but its warm inside the resto.
Last December, my mom and dad came back here in the Philippines to celebrate Christmas with me. We were walking in the mall when we suddenly got hungry, everything was packed and the only place available is Racks. Thank God we ate there, it has been my favorite restaurant ever since! The place is very bright and their air-conditioning was great. Great ambiance and very friendly staff, fast service and great food! We ordered their southern fried chicken which were very crispy and very flavorful, we also ordered their onion brick which was very unique and very crispy. For my entrée, I ordered their garlic shrimp scampi, and it has been my favorite pasta dish ever since! It was spicy, very garlicky and very refreshing with the parsley, and the shrimps were cooked very beautifully! After a few weeks, I returned to Racks and tried their signature ribs, and I loved it. It was juicy and flavorful, and large, and oh my golly delicious!! I strongly recommend this place to everyone! It's definitely worth a try! Love this place!
Last Saturday was our first time here in Racks. We didn't have to wait long to be seated. The place was not crowded but it was hot there. Maybe their AC can't compete with the heat outside.
We ordered the family platter Racks Ribs and Chicken since in that platter we can have each kind of meat. We added Caesars Salad and Cheesecake for dessert. We actually wanted Mississippi Mud Pie but sadly it wasn't available.
The food was served faster than I had expected. And I really loved everything! The salad was good. Servings just right. The ribs were cooked well. Easy to cut with our knives and together with their sauce it tasted good. The dessert was also good.
The only downside was when we asked and paid for our bill. They took so long. We had to follow up for like twice or thrice.
The bf and I went here in one of our monthly "ribs date." Since it's a Sunday, the place was packed full of families ordering their specialty ribs and chicken dishes. We tried beef ribs and baby back ribs. The price is quite steep and the size would leave you wanting more, but it's definitely a treat. The ribs were delicious and moist, and the sauce that went with it was yummy.
If you're going to have their ribs, you should pair them up with their barbecue sauce! I've been here plenty of times and I mostly order the same thing. Classic Pork Ribs with Broccoli & Cheese, Potato Salad, and Strawberry Milk Shake. Also tried their Cheesecake but I didn't like it. Overall, it's a good place for ribs.
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. We were looking for something fancier to eat but ended up here. No regrets though. For starters, I had the Clam Chowder soup. I'm not really fond of eating chowder soup but their soup is really good. Then I had the Racks baby ribs. Seriously, this is the best ribs for me. I love how tender it is. I also liked that they don't put sauce upon serving so I can control how much sauce I want to put on the ribs. My husband ordered the grilled chicken. It tasted good too but I still prefer the ribs. For dessert, we had the Mississippi mud pie. It was quite dry but it was balanced out by the ice cream. Ambiance was anything but fancy but if you're looking for great tasting food, Racks is a good choice.
Super tender and well-done ribs!!! The BBQ sauce is a super plus! They also have one of the creamiest mango shake. And I love their cheesecakes!!! ??
Craving for steak??? You should definitely try Racks!!! We ordered Onion Rings and the Buffalo Wings for appetizer which was so gooooood!! Then we ordered the Surf N' Turf Family Platter (didn't get the chance to picture the side dishes because it was devoured in seconds) it was also yummy then we ordered steak which was a different order (don't judge i love steaks) everything was so good except the service ? probably they were too overwhelmed because we ordered alot for only 8 people. ?
Chicken will always have a special place in my heart and occupy a big space in my belly, but lately, I find myself being drawn towards mouth-watering, succulent ribs. Yes, they are not as affordable as your favorite value meal, but it’s worth it to spend a bit more to satisfy your cravings and experience happiness that only food can provide.
I’ve heard about Racks and passed by its SM North EDSA branch a number of times in the past, but only recently did I actually go inside the premises to get me a well-deserved Friday dinner and some rib lovin’. Racks takes pride in having “The Best Ribs in Town” that are “Flame Grilled” and just “Falls Off the Bone” – a pretty huge claim, if you ask me. Racks talks a huge talk – but can it walk the walk?
The interior of the restaurant is fairly decent. At first, there were only a few diners, but people came in droves probably an hour past 7 p.m. There really was no need to go to the counter as there were servers going around, but I do like the fact that customers can see how meat is being flame-grilled to perfection.
I was at Racks for the ribs, but my palate’s affection for chicken just wouldn’t allow me to leave without chicken. Aside from ordering a half rack of Classic Pork Ribs – a house specialty that comes with either garlic/corn bread or 2 regular side dishes (we opted to have 2 side dishes: corn on the cob, which we had shredded for our convenience, and potato salad) and costs Php 555, we also got a half of their Southern Fried Chicken for Php 380. There were two buttermilk biscuits and sweet, sticky honey with our chicken.
Just because I have a lot of opportunity to drain softdrink bottles at home, I went a different route in terms of drinks and had a Hazelnut Milkshake instead worth Php 150. It’s frothy and tastes like coffee with too much creamer. It’s fine.
I greatly appreciate the fact that the sauces for the ribs are within reach. It allowed me to thoroughly enjoy every tender piece of meat with my steaming rice. I got the ribs doused with regular barbecue sauce and, although I have low tolerance for spice, added a kick of hot sauce to check out how the two sauces taste together.
I don’t know if the ribs are the best in town, but they sure are delicious. I wasn’t expecting a lot of the chicken, but it rose above and beyond any previous assumptions that I may have had. I think it’s a star on its own right. I had a rocking time at Racks — you already know that I’ll be back!
When you say baby back ribs, this restaurant is already a household name in mind. Before the ribs restaurants sprouted, Racks has always been there. I can say that their ribs taste good but its not the best. I find their ribs dry and i had to ask the waiter to give me extra sauce. The price is ranging from 350-700. Ofcourse i you want the tastier ribs, you order the more expensive one. But honestly, I would prefer Casa Verde's cheap ribs than to order Racks' 600 worth ribs.

Me and my cousin dined here to celebrate my successful CPA board examination. The food is good. The steak and baby back ribs is good. And it's my cousin's treat. Lol. :))
I've visited number of Racks branches and I'm really happy that they have one near our place. I always love to eat the falling of the bones type of ribs and its proven that they offer the best.
As always, I'm with my Mom who loves eating too. So, We ordered first the House Salad (P190) that consists of lettuce, apple, carrots, cashew nuts and grapes topped with viniagrette dressing. I love how crunchy the apple was and how the nuts complimented the other toppings. And for the usual, we got the Baby Back Ribs Half Slab (P460) served with Garlic Bread, Corn on Cob which we opted to be shredded and Gravy Fries that Mom and I really liked coz its still hot and the serving was really big. I just noticed that the ribs was not that fresh and a bit burnt but still it tasted good.
If you want the original ribs served falling of the bones, must visit place is Racks. Well, a bit pricey but definitely worth it. Shell out price starts at 1,000 if you want to get a full course meal.

Before you continue reading, I want to spoil the ending of my review by stating that the soup was the best part of the meal for me. That's not to say the whole experience was bad. It's more like sometimes the soup tends to be the unsung hero of a spread and in this case, it deserves more than a few lilting notes.
I've gone to Racks plenty of times before, but we usually dive right into the mains, sometimes dabbling into a bit of salad, but never the soups. On this particular visit, I was with my mom, who loves ordering soup any restaurant we go. We had both never tried any here before so we went ahead and asked for mushroom soup. To be honest, I wasn't thinking much of it; I figured it would be just like any mushroom soup I get from other restaurants. You know the kind: watered down, barely flavored, with minuscule pieces of chopped button mushrooms.
This particular bowl was none of that. It was thick and creamy, seasoned well, and had large slices of shiitake mushroom. It was flavorful and satisfying. I was wondering if I was only feeling like this because I was starving, but come to think of it, I wasn't that hungry to begin with, so maybe my raving had merit. My only regret was there wasn't more of it. A bigger bowl of it could be a meal in itself. But let's move on to the main course.
The pork ribs definitely delivered on its "falls off the bone" promise. I even pierced the bone to see if I could and I could. Many times. The meat needed just a tad bit more salt to be eaten alone, so I'm glad for the original barbecue sauce, which I like to mix with some of the spicy variety. I'd warn against eating the ribs with just the hot sauce though, because it tends to offer only heat and not a lot of flavor.
My side of mac and cheese was nicely al dente, but being a big fan of cheese, it needed much more of it to truly be called mac and cheese.
As I said, I've been to Racks a lot, and there's no doubt I'll be back again, but I'm glad this time there's a new reason for me to return: never again will I eat there without having my bowl of creamy, dreamy mushroom soup first.
With several branches within the metro, Racks is one restaurant that will keep you on coming back. They say that "If you love chewing off the bone, then you will at first get disappointed, but once you taste the ribs, you will forget the bones completely."
For years now, Racks is praised for having the most tender baby ribs which I have not tried and don't have any intentions of trying. Attesting to this is Louie, who favors Rack's menu for all times. I have tried Racks' seafood specials though: blackened salmon steak, pan-fried dory with lemon garlic butter, fish and chips, clam chowder soup and their house-made pasta, the garlic scampi pasta -- and they are all good. Food prices are heavy on the wallet though; expect to spend about PHp 500 to PHp 800 for each dish.
