When you’re hungry and all you want to do is devour at once, looking elsewhere is out of the question. That’s where the good ol’ trusted comes in. And in the small Robinson’s Place, Gerry’s Grill is one of those.

Hungry, right? So here's the review:

1. Garlic Adobo Shreds at Php 225

Looks nice but it’s weird. It’s like eating charred meat. Even when dipped with its sauce it didn’t get any better.  

2. Sizzling Sisig at Php 198

Who can get wrong with sisig? Though theirs is not something I’d die for, it was good enough.

3. Beef Kare-Kare at Php 335

At this point, my heart is still all out for Little Quiapo’s  kare-kare that I notched down a bit my standard. Happily, Gerry’s passed it. Just not so many beef and tripe, though.

4. Nilagang Bulalo at Php 315

Cheap compared to those in Tagaytay but with a reason. Too little serving and it was served ‘lukewarm’. But it’s not bad either.

It’s just like eating at the comforts of home.

"Life's a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get."

Truly. Definitely. I agree. Exactly because Bubba Gump's not what's we're craving for. But then when it's there already, you have to grab it and Run, Forrest, Run!

And we stopped, so here we are with Speckled Lemonade. One of the few non-alcoholic drinks here.

Eventually we stopped so hello there, Forrest! Here we are in Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Greenbelt 3! And it's a nice place to be after a tiring day. Feels really like an American home beside the sea.

Hello, there!

Seafood lovers, commence! For Appetizers:

House Special Calamari Rings (Php 370) is truly a delight! Oh calamari deep fried with two dippin' sauces. I can just munch all the time. Perfectly crisp!

Share the love <3

Ping Pong Shrimp (Php 345) lightly breaded each with mango pineapple salsa on top. Unbelievably yummy with a little spicy kick! A must try. The bottom is full of cabbages, too that we don't know what to make of. Care to explain?

Good choice!

There comes my favorite salad. Here we had Shrimp BLT Salad (Php 585) with Romaine lettuce, bacon, tomatoes in Ranch dressing. It's also with special Bleu cheese and shrimps. It's good but not a fan of this particular salad. I prefer their Classic Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken, classic to the core at Php 440 (not in the picture). 

Hi shrimps with B-acon, L-ettuce and T-omatoes!

Here comes Forrest's Favorites:

Dixie Style Baby Back Ribs (Php 995) slow-roasted and served with fries and coleslaw. It looks mouthwatering and it is! I need not much effort on slicing. It almost slices by itself. Wickedly great! And it's not shrimp--let's take a break ;).

Mouthwatering!

Forrest's Seafood Feast (Php 590) is a taste of many of their fried foods: shrimps, fish and chips, croquettes, hush pups and coleslaw plus dips such as tartar, cocktail and remoulade. I especially enjoyed the croquettes here and oh, the coleslaw. But too much fried can hurt, too. ;)

A hodge-podge of everything!

And of course, Bubba's Shrimp Specials:

Shrimper's Net Catch (Php 770) right from the casserole for the shrimp lovers. But don't get too excited, it's not a good catch as in the picture. Anyhow, it's served with veggies and Secret Recipe Cajun Spice. Can be with Bubba's Garlic spice, too.

Not a good catch, eh?

And oh, although a tad expensive, this one is a good treat too. Not the Chocolate Rootbeer Float at Php 300+ but the glass with dancing lights. 

Run it home!

All in all, expensive, some serving not many, all things considered, it's a great treat. Once in a while. Sometimes too, it's all about the experience.
