clawdaddy

We planned to visit Bonifacio High Street in Taguig for a change from a trip to the mall.  It’s good that such concept was made, one can enjoy the outdoors while feasting your eyes with the items of all the boutiques were offering, that were present in line with some of the restaurants.  One of the restaurant in Bonifacio High Street is Clawdaddy.

They used a solid wood tables and chairs which represented a picnic style of dining.  Just like what their slogan says “Great American Picnic”.  They can also accommodate diner who would prefer to dine outside their restaurant where some of the diners have pets in tow

The interior of the restaurant was comfortable.  We were immediately escorted by their courteous receptionist to our designated seats and was handed a menu.   While waiting for our ordered food we were given a complimentary buttered corn on the cob to munch.  They have a great customer service.

For appetizer, we had Classic Caesar Salad.  This was one of our favorites for they never scrimp with the garlic dressing.  They drizzled it very generously which makes the salad tastier and tastier every bite.   You’ll never go wrong at the price of P338.00

What’s a Clawdaddy experienced without ordering what they were famous at crab!  We had Crab Maritess, it was said to have a combination of white wine, olive oil and garlic.  And the outcome of such combination was sure to be a winner!  It was truly succulent every bite and guaranteed fresh and I can say it was huge.  We got a male crab with a weight of 1.1kg.  Price for this dish varies per weight, serving choices: Per 100g (600g-700g)(P105.00), Per 100g (800g-1kg)(P120.00), Per 100g (1.1kg and above)(P135.00)

What’s an American Picnic without a Smoked Baby Back Ribs?  We ordered half slab with two side dishes both with their famous dirty rice at the price of P398.00, if  full slab you’ll get it at P698.00.   The meat was very tender, and  juicy in every bite.  Dirty rice was said to be best seller but I can’t tasted just like a plain rice.

And having a kid in tow, we ordered Fried Chicken Tenders.  It was very well presented in a car, made of cardboard, served with french fries and honey mayo sauce.   Chicken Tenders was not the typical for breading used was like that of corn flakes and it was tasty which makes it more appetizing.   At the price of P215.00 it will surely be a hit for your kids!

For our beverage, we ordered Lemon Iced Tea gladly it was bottomless.  Their mixture was thin, lacked the real taste of iced tea.

Their Lemonade was refreshing!  Now this beverage, you can say they don’t scrimp with their ingredient and is also refillable.

Overall, I give Clawdaddy 4/5 rating for the food, 4/5 for the ambiance and 5/5 for the service.

holy cow steak ranch and american grill

holy cow

We were attracted by the menu gallery displayed outside the store, and so we decided to have a Holy Cow! experienced.   We were guided to our preferred seats and were given a menu.  They have wooden seats and couch were also available.  Trayliners and utensils were immediately provided but no one’s prepared to get our orders.  To our dismayed, crews were not that attentive to your needs.

county mushroom soup

For starters, we had County Mushroom Soup, mushroom soup with bread sticks price price at P85.00.  A different version of mushroom soup, but to our dismayed it was a bit salty and seems like they put soysauce to it.  It’s  not that creamy and not that hot for a soup.   I give this 2/5.

creamy clam chowder

Creamy Clam Chowder, creamy soup with clams and parmesan bread sticks price price at P75.00.  Now this is creamy and yes you can truly taste the clams in this soup.  Truly a clam chowder alright.  I give this 5/5.

cowboy combo platter

Cowboy Combo Platter, breaded chicken tenders, onion ring and barbeque flavored fries price at P295.00.  I can say we were awed when this dish was served on our table, huge serving!  Onion rings has lots of breading good for me for i like it that way, while chicken tenders more on chicken skin than chicken meat, fries were salted and tasted good.  I give this 4/5.

superb creamy cheese carbonara

Superb creamy cheese carbonara solo price at P145.00, regular price at P265.00.  I love this dish! It is creamy and the bacon were crunchy good together, and they don’t scrimp on cheese!  The name of the dish itself speaks for itself Superb!  I give this 5/5.

lonestar grilled porkchops

Lonestar Grilled Porkchop served with roasted apple gravy price at P220.00.  Their porkchop were juicy, and more lean meat were served.  I like porkchop with typical gravy taste than with apple gravy.  Steamed vegetables were crunchy and cooked just right.  I give this 3/5.

running iron chicken barbeque

Running Iron Chicken Barbeque, chicken quarter served with sweet hickory barbeque sauce price at P220.00.  Can’t wait to chow down this dish.  Their chicken barbeque were juicy but find it more sour taste than sweetness too much marination?  Corn on the cob were crunchy which i find it perfect!  The rice is a bit dry though.  I give this 4/5.

mashed potatoes

Mashed Potatoes price at P45.00.  Their version of mashed potatoes were not fully mashed and not creamy.  I find it dry with chunks of potatoes in every spoonful bite.  I give this 3/5.

citrus black tea

Citrus Black Tea,  ceylon tea with citrus fruit extract price at P65.00.  A different version of ice tea, taste like brewing a tea then add some ice voila! citrus black tea!   I give this 4/5.

white grape tea

White Grape Tea, white tea with grape juice and fresh grapes price at P65.00.  You’ll definitely taste the hint of grape with ice tea it was refreshing but sweet.  I give this 4/5.

Overall, I give Holy Cow! Steak Ranch and American Grill a 3/5 for the service, food and ambience.
