Mama meets Big Daddy: Restaurant Review

 We have been at Big Daddy's branch at SM City Taytay thrice already and each time Big Daddy never failed to satisfy our food cravings.
 
Big Daddy is a big hit with my boys, who are all burger lovers. Big Daddy's serves some real serious burgers.
 
Although I am not into burgers, I am fine just fine here, since they also serve delicious and filling pasta and rice meals in their menu.
 
 
 
 
 Our Big Daddy favorites:
 
Really cheesy Nachos (P125) ~  spiced just right to my liking.  Toppings was a bit spicy for the kids, but the kiddos find a way to eat around the toppings and into the nachos and cheese.
 
 
Pasta ~ Seafood Penne (above) and Carbonara (below), costs P125-155 each 
 
The seafood penne is currently my personal favorite, my mom and youngest son, however agrees to disagree with me and voted in favor of the carbonara.


Big Daddy's Burger (burger costs P100 - P200) and French fries (P50).  Burgers are meaty and chunky. 
 


 
 
VERDICT:
1. Food is flavorful.
2. Hefty servings at affordable prices.
3. Service was a bit slow though during our last visit, the first two visits though went smooth and efficient. 

Yes, it was a sure thumbs up ~ Mamaspeaks will be back!

Burgoo: Restaurant Review

 
Burgoo is a Mexican-American casual dining restaurant. It has been in the country for a few years now, but we never had the opportunity to try it out until today.
 
 
The boys were famished ~ and Burgoo Restaurant was right smacked infront of us.
 

(Cool we got to toy with table paper mats, while waiting for our orders to arrive.)

 
Please excuse our large order, we were really hungry:
 
 
We got the Supreme Sampler for appetizers ~ which was a good call for first timers to try out everything in one plate. The Supreme Sampler includes: Buffalo wings, cheddar cheese fries, mozzarella sticks and fried calamari (regular P420 and large P600).  
 
 
 
Here is a closer view...
 
 
 
My youngest loved the fries, while my hubby had his moments with the tangy Buffalo wings.
 
 
 
 My favorite, meanwhile is the Chicken Quesadilla (P300). It is a flour tortilla filled with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions and cubed chicken.  
 
 
Another favorite is the Chicken Fajitas (P500)  ~ charcoal-grilled chicken served with chunky tomato salsa, shredded cheddar cheese an tortilla wrapper. My boys had fun wrapping their own fajitas. 
 



 
 
Chicken Diane (P400) ~ garlic spaghetti in Diane sauce, topped with grilled chicken fillet ~  pasta has a garlicky taste that I like even without the sauce.  

 
 
 A yummy Banana Split for dessert ~ was a wonderful end to our food galore! 
 
 
 
VERDICT:
1. Although on the more expensive scale, servings are huge and perfect for really hungry families or barkada.
2. Food taste great.
3. Ambience is homey and laid-back.
4. Staff are cordial and warm.
 
 
We would definitely come back!
