Gerry's Grill

After a long awaited wait, we finally drove and got to try the famous Gerry’s. When we have a tourney here in Houston this place is always packed but this time frame was perfect. Food was excellent but a bit pricey but it was the nostalgia of one of the famous restaurants in the Philippines. But it was good and will definitely be back after our food coma!!!

The food is great... Absolutely love all the food that we order... Insert the flan, I don't get a chance to take a picture of it, but is so good.... Very good service, Ms. Lorna, Jessa and Sheena...

After a long drive, we were looking forward to trying this Filipino restaurant tucked in a restaurant complex beside a hotel. Gerry’s Grill is synonymous to a food fest in the Philippines, so we came hungry. I have to say we were put off with how sticky the tables were, like it had been painted a layer of goop so nothing slipped off. Wiping with napkins made it worse, as it stuck to the table and made a mess. To start, we had Calamansi juice, though it was not from the fresh citrus fruit but a concentrate, a bit too sweet, and would not recommend to those watching their sugar. Appetizers came quickly, we ordered Chicharong Bulaklak, Spicy Tuna Poké and Kilawin. The fam loved how the ruffle fat was well seasoned and very airy and crunchy, no rubbery spots. Vinegar dipping sauce was on point. The Tuna Poké came with crispy wontons and a mayo sauce, don’t expect sashimi grade tuna here, yet it was still flavorful. It just came with a mountain of wontons, half would have sufficed. The Kilawin is a mix of Grilled Pork Belly and Kinilaw na Tuna, which was a winner for me. The entrees came, we had Crispy Pata which was a whopping size for $30+, had all the plus points for flavor, crispy skin and dipping sauce. Grilled Baby Squid was yummy but we were not expecting a bunch on our plate. We also got the Pancit Bihon with crispy belly toppings. Didn’t really wow me. Lastly, the diabetic in the group had the Halo-halo. 🙄 It was served in a tall glass, so if you’re expecting a bowl style, that’s from another resto 😆, nonetheless, it was not cloyingly sweet. Apart from the table issue, we had a pleasant dinner.

We had a great time eating authentic Filipino food at Gerry’s grill. It was nice to have a taste of home. The staff were friendly and pleasant, & it was nice dining after the usual lunch hour. We had the crispy pata, crab fried rice, inihaw na pusit, & hall halo…just to name a few. Please believe me that my pictures didn’t do the food justice. My family really enjoyed the experience.

Wow! This place is top-notch. Staff is super friendly and the service is great! We ordered the Spicey Tuna Poke and Pork Pata. Tuna was fresh and not super spicey. The pork was crispy outside and tender inside. We got a side of the garlic rice. If you like garlic, you will love this rice! We ended with the banana lumpia and vanilla ice cream, which was a nice light finish. They also had live music, which was also very good. This was a great 1st experience for us!

The atmosphere was calm and quiet. I really enjoyed the authentic Philippine cuisine. The food was delicious! The prices were very reasonable and the portions were huge!!!! It’s kind of hard to find this place so look behind the building! I recommend better signage for better visibility. Lorena served us and the service was phenomenal. Great customer service!

Food was good but pricey. Entry didn’t come with rice but you had to order as a separate side. Halo halo was way too sweet. Staff were very nice though.

Food was so tasty and very authentic. Feels like you’re in the Philippines. Love all the food the we had! Very satisfying! Service was so excellent! Very nice and helpful. Ambiance was good! Spacious, clean and decoration was so nice.

Food is mediocre. But Love the service. And the live bands makes the difference. We were seated near the bar where NBA finals were playing so overall I enjoyed our night.

I love Gerry's but every location I've been to either in Manila or LA has felt distinctly different from each other. This was my first time going to the Houston location, and I had a super fun experience. We went on a Friday night, which is when they have live music followed by open karaoke. It made it really hard to hear my friends at our table, but the energy was good. The restaurant is roomy with high ceilings, more modernly furnished than other locations I've been to. The service was also friendly and there was usually always someone nearby if you needed anything. Highly recommend their sisig, pancit palabok, and adobo rice. My friends got a huge variety of food for the table, but I was a little too late to the hangout to get to try much more. I was looking forward to ordering some Red Horse beers too, but was pretty disappointed when I found out they weren't available. Not sure if it was temporary or if this is an ongoing thing, but I hope they'll be in stock next time I go back.

Very lively restaurant on Fri evening! Great service for a large party dining in. Started off with Lumpiang Shanghai. Crispy and pretty good, but I've had better lumpia before. Crab rice was delicious, but not much crab meat in the dish. Pinakbet had a variety of veggies, but I was not too crazy about this. Crispy Pata (pork) was delicious! I would order again if I go back to dine at Gerry's Grill. Crispy short rib was savory but a little oily/greasy. Inihaw na pusit (grilled squid) was tasty! Sizzling pork sisig was ok. Adobo rice (w/ small pork bits) had a lot of flavor; a tad bit salty though. Pancit palabok was ok; not savory enough imo. Buko pandan had very subtle pandan taste; likely overpowered by coconut shreds. However it was a refreshing dessert overall. The live band had a great performance, but it was too loud most of the time, and everyone had to yell across the table to communicate. It was fun seeing folks volunteer for karaoke. Overall not a bad experience here!

So I've been here before and I wasn't feeling it BUT the wife loves this place.... So why not? I was wrong. This place is so good! I ate most of the lumpia and the BBQ pork was good! Wife got the crispy pata and that great too! It's weird that in Chinatown that you have to pay for your rice but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. We also got the Halo Halo because I thought it would be like a Chè Ba Màu and it is but not really. Still VERY enjoyable. Staff and service was great. And I KINDA want to see the live band one day. It's a Filipino place. There has to be some sort of singing or karaoke. The only thing I didn't like was the sticky table. It was sticky! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but the food was very good. Would I come back? Hell yeah! I'm getting the banana lumpia and ice cream next time too. Regrets.

Gerry's grill is very nostalgic for me since the last time I had it was in 2016 in the Philippines! Our server was very nice and even though we left before the live band started the food was delicious and the ambience is very nice! Can't go wrong with the Kare-Kare.

We went on Sunday lunch and was pretty crowded. There were multiple bands plying raising money for a fellow band member so a bit noisy. This is normal on Friday and Saturday nights but not on Sundays. Luckily, we were able to grab a table and got seated right away. We ordered 3 dishes... grilled squid, beef karekare and pork sisig. Grilled squid was delicious. One of our go to items to order. Restaurant is well known for the grilled items so can't go wrong. Beef Karekare is beef oxtail cooked with peanut sauce and vegetables (bok choy, eggplant, long beans). It comes with shrimp paste. This is a must. Tip: do not order if you don't like shrimp paste. Last is the pork sisig. It comes on a sizzling plate and was still sizzling when served. This goes very well with beer or with rice. It is a bit salty. Meat is crispy from the hot plate. We had ordered it with egg that offsets some of the saltiness. Restaurant offers delicious Philippine/Filipino dishes. Service was friendly although it was sometimes hard to call their attention as restaurant was packed.

The food was amazing! I love Asian food but this was my first time having Filipino food! It was great and is in my top favorites! Our waiter was very kind and helpful. The service was next level. It was a bit cold but that is ok. The restaurant had good vibes Also, if you want desert, get the Halo Halo! It's really good and sweet and tropical all at once! Five stars

Food was so tasty and very authentic. Feels like you're in the Philippines. Love all the food the we had! Very satisfying! Service was so excellent! Very nice and helpful. Ambiance was good! Spacious, clean and decoration was so nice.

Took my non-Filipino friends here to try Filipino food for the first time! We came on a Sunday right before the church crowd came in. The place was busy but we were able to get seated quickly. We ordered the lumpia, pork bbq, Kare kare, and the palabok. It was family style and that was a good amount of food for 4 people. Had to get the rice separately. The servers were nice and friendly and the staff was quick to pick up any done dishes. However some of our dishes did come a lot later than the others. The food in terms of taste was okay! The lumpia and bbq were probably the best, as for the Kare Kare and the palabok I've had better. It did scratch the itch of missing my mom's cooking.

Gerry's is the best Filipino food I've had in Texas well period beside my godfather mother's food. Definitely try the lumpia and the adobo fried drive. And the ice tea just know you'll want more than one. Lorna is a gem very sweet

Food and service was awesome!! Our server Lorna was a sweet heart. Some of our favorite dishes were Sugba kilaw and pork Barbeque.

It was such a great Dinner with an Awesome Server SHEENA! Coming from Fremont California standard. The service is quick and very delicious food. Place is nice.

Just made a temporary move from California to Houston a little over a month ago, since I was craving filipino food we decided on Gerry's Grill. After getting lost and stuck in traffic for 2 hours we finally made it. Gerry's Grill is hands down the best filipino food in town. We ordered an array of filipino food from seafood to meats and we can't forget about the appetizers and desserts. Unfortunately, as soon as the food hit the table we devoured it, so no photos were taken. Trust me the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was so kind that one staff member was so patient and took photos of us. Until next time!

Filipino hospitality to be experienced here at Gerry's Grill! Live music here on Friday evenings. Staff here was pleasant and friendly. Our food came out so quickly and then we realized our eyes were bigger than our stomachs! But so much delicious entrees and appetizers. Cripsy pata is a must order when dining here! One of the best Filipino dining experiences in the Houston area!

It was an experience dining here at Gerry's Grill. We had an amazing time. We met up with my cousin who suggested this place and we pretty much ordered a lot of food, kinda ordered what looked good on the photos. The food tasted good and honestly I cannot say anything negative as everything was great. They even have a full bar and live band, which we missed since we had lunch instead of dinner. The halo-halo was good and the gelatin drink was good too! We will definitely be back. We had loads of take-away and the food was good the next day. Delicious! Sadly, my phone didn't save the photos I took. I will make sure to take loads of photos next visit Our order: chicharon bulaklak, sisig, crab fried rice, grilled chicken, bbq pork, lumpia and another I couldn't remember but was very good- I recommend this place

I stayed at a hotel nearby and decided to stop by Gerry's Grill on a random Monday morning. As a Filipino from San Francisco who goes to the Philippines every summer, I absolutely love Gerry's Grill in the Philippines and I was pleasantly surprised by this location!! Their sisig hit the spot! I'll be back for sure!

Gerry's grill always is a must visit for me each time I'm in Houston. Max's failed miserably a few days after a great review for unsatisfying service and substandard pork sinigang. So here we were in Gerry's Grill with a Houstonian long time friend welcomed with handshakes and greetings from the regulars lol. We had grilled pusit, sinigang pork, kare2, crab fried rice, (they heated the brown rice I brought!---thank you!, and crispy pata. Calamansi juice was thirst quenching (Philippine lime) Friendly with live singing, clean, professional staff. A great way to enjoy food and friends/family Either you're a Filipino or not!!!

Came to Gerry's grill with a big group of friends so we could try many different dishes as this was our first time here. Also got the famous iced tea based on the reviews, and it was so delicious with a fruity hint! We ordered the crab rice, lechon, crispy pata, grilled squid, chicken inasal, pork sisig, chicken skewers, and some garlic rice. The crab rice was delicious with lots of flavor. The lechon and crispy pata were a little to dry and crispy for my taste. I didn't go back for seconds. The grilled squid was pretty good with good amount of squid and was more tasty with the sauce. The pork sisig was perfect with the garlic rice and was a good amount of savory and rich. I was suprised that the garlic rice was just garlic and rice since I've had it more flavorful at other places but it was a good rice to pair with the other main entrees. The star of the show for me was their chicken dishes, which I was suprised about. The chicken inasal and chicken skewers were SOOOO delicious. They were so well flavored and the chicken was very tender. These were definitely the 2 standout dishes to me and the dishes that I would get when I go back. Sadly, we were way too full for dessert at the end but I want to come back and try those as well. All in all, I had a great time eating here!! The food was delicious overall, and I'm definitely coming back :-)

The food was amazing and the service was great!!! My mother-in-law was also very happy to have real Filipino food! :)

Decent Filipino food, tastes pretty much just like the Gerry's at home. They have live music. Also service speed and quality was pretty similar to American chain restaurants.

Service was excellent. Beverages were always refilled. The staff constantly checked up on us. Ambience was ok Food was not up to par thus the lower review. The grilled squid was overcooked close to the point of rubbery texture. The crispy pata was crispy but was also overdone. The eggplant malasada was salty on one side and unevenly tasted bland

Good food and quick service. Family friendly. Sheena was really patient and attentive.

I'm so spoiled coming from Southern California and tasted the best of the best. Though we enjoyed our family lunch here, we think that this food is okay. We ordered about 4 entrees and one appetizer and the damage was $160+ The service was great however they made sure we had everything we needed.

The service was Excellent by Sr. Troy. The food is highly recommended . Keep up the Amazing hospitality. you Gerry's Grill.

Pork sisig with egg & garlic rice is a must order! Grilled squid - so good and flavorful, tender

Came here for a company dinner and we stayed in a private room where the staff was helpful and provided sufficient service. We ordered individual drinks throughout the night and shared several dishes family style, including pork bbq skewers, chicken skewers, fried rice, lumpia, sizzling sisig, pancit, calamares, and eggplant omelette. Everything tasted amazing, probably my least favorite was the eggplant omelette, but it's probably just personal preference. And the pork bbq skewers were some of the best I've had anywhere. Our vegans and vegetarians were able to find dishes they liked and were able to eat a satisfying meal, but they were at a different table, so I don't know exactly what. For dessert, we had leche flan, which was on the sweeter side but good as expected. On a Saturday evening, I was surprised to learn that they do live music here (the band on this day was This Side Up), and they played some great covers while we were there, starting around 8:30pm. I didn't stay later into the night for the music though. This venue is pretty spacious, lots of seating, a full bar, clean and modern looking, and plenty of parking outside.

Food is ALWAYS amazing, and the service is wonderful! Lorna was so sweet and friendly, totally would come back just because everyone is so friendly and personable the food is so so good, you gotta stop by!!

Can you imagine a great Filipino restaurant right beside Chinese restaurants near Dunhuang Square in Houston? I had been there just for the delicious crispy pork knuckle. The service is amazing. And there is band performance on weekend!

This is my second time at Gerry's grill. Food is great, but customer service can be better. I gave two starts because of the waitress who cashed me out. BTW, they don't hand you a paper copy of your receipt (which is fine, save the earth) but they instead come to the table, tell you what they are charging you for, take your card, swipe it for you, and give you directions on what to do next. The direction I was told was click here and sign, so I did just that, I clicked the button and signed (I'm thinking that the tip was included or that it would prompt me to do so, after I click the tab) but it did not, so the waitress rudely conveyed that the tip was not included, which I then replied and said I'm sorry I didn't know when I had to include the tip, but she rudely walked off and said let me get the receipt for you, which tells me that they aren't trying to save paper, it's a tactic that allows them to hover above you, to ensure that you tip them. I asked her if I could write down the tip on the receipt (I'm thinking that they could make adjustments to the receipt) but as she walked away rolling her eyes, she again rudely conveyed that it was not possible because I had closed out the ticket, which I can only assume could be reopened so that I could provide the tip. I understand that servers make their salary via tip, so I understood why she would be upset, but I did simply did not know how their systems work and my request to add the tip was rejected because I had already closed the tab, which can be reopened, I'm assuming. My first visit was exactly the same, click the tab and sign, so I did just that, this time, which I'm now realizing that the waitress had already added the tip. Which BTW, I noticed this too, when the waitress took my card, swiped it, and as I was reaching for my card back, she retracted it back and pushed the iPad towards me urging me to sign the iPad first before I could get my card back . For a Filipino establishment, my interactions has been either blatant disrespect or subtle inappropriate acts. I will never come back to this place again.

Staff, service and ambiance is inviting and appreciated! They have live music Friday-Sunday evenings. As a Filipino, the food tastes great and supporting the community is important even though most Filipino moms will say they cook better at home LOL. My irk with Gerry's Grill is daaaaamn talk about over-priced! Lumpia is awesome yet not $15 awesome I'm also not sure about charging Filipinos for rice- it's almost blasphemous- and a small bowl! I gave this place a try and I do like it yet honestly would rather Filipiñana for buffet lunch with dessert for $40 for 2 people than the $120 lunch I wasn't expecting. I also ordered tea because I was cold and I think the picture is 1000 words for $3 tea. The food is tasty and delicious so don't get me wrong. It's a nice place to introduce others into the cuisine!

Today, I had the opportunity to try the inihaw na bangus, and describing it as amazing would be an understatement. The fish was exceptionally juicy, flavorful, and filling, while also feeling light and fresh. This dish pairs perfectly with the garlic rice and has now become my favorite at this restaurant. Gerry's is such a great restaurant to bring your family for any event. The staff is equally impressive as the cuisine. Today, I was attended to by a gentleman named Troy, who was exceptionally accommodating and polite. He was, in fact, the one who recommended the dish to me.

This was our first time at Gerry's Grill. I have been looking for a Filipino restaurant that wasn't a buffet. The restaurant has a lot of room and is clean. We were greeted as we came in, were seared quickly even though the restaurant was almost full. Service was fast. We ordered pancit bihon with crunchy pork, pork skewers, fried chicken, and lomi soup (to go). My husband's favorite was the pork skewers. He said that it had very good flavor. He prefers their pork skewers over Max's. I loved the pancit bihon with crunchy pork and the lomi really hit the spot for me. We are definitely going back. It's my new favorite Filipino restaurant.

Filipino Food was delicious! Had the Kare kare, pancit, grilled pusit and Pork bbq skewers! Ended meal with a yummy halo halo dessert!

Servers Yasmin, Claudia and Liz are awesome they're very helpful and the food is so good!

Driving from Dallas to Houston can be a long way but eating here at Gerry's grill can be worthwhile. What to order? Drinks: Famous Iced Tea, so refreshing, Calamansi juice is good too Entree: Crispy Pata, cruchy, moist and delicious Pork sisig, was just a meh‍‍good but needs more content for the price Grilled Squid- was just ok, i wouldn't order again. Thought is was pricey for the portion size. Bangus Ala Pobre or fried Bangus with veggies- was good Overall, Food is good and nice ambiance for a family get together.

Excellent Filipino restaurant! I drive to Houston sometimes just for food (especially Filipino food). NOLA has some of the best restaurants in the country but Filipino cuisine is basically non existent. Gerry's serves authentic food such as sinagang, pancit, chicken adobo, kare-kare, lechon kawali, and halo-halo for dessert. Everything we eat at Gerry's is delicious and the ambiance is so welcoming compared to other asian restaurants. They have a full bar and plenty of seating. Service is great as well as all of the staff are very welcoming!

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great. I would definitely come back here again. Our waitress Liz was amazing.

I love Yesmin, Claudia and Liz! They are very quick, sweet and always checking on us. We got the food on time, hot, and just delish! 10/10!

Best Filipino food in Houston! The lumpia is everything you want! Piled high to last the whole meal with friends or family! The fried pork belly was delicious! Fried hard enough to get your crust and still leave a nice chew and bite on the pork. The chicken adobo is so good! Especially when paired with the garlic rice! It's located in the back of the building. Once you come to the back you can't miss it! I heard the live music nights are legendary.

Lunch was wonderful! We highly recommend the Garlic Adobo and Tortang Talong. Everything was so flavorful. Thank you, Lorna!

First time coming here and it did not disappoint! My group ordered so much food and Liz our server was so friendly and accommodating! We'll definitely visit again!

The best Filipino food in town! Excellent variety of dishes! Shenna was our server and was very good! The decor is upscale but casual. We came around 5:30p on a Saturday to eat before the band plays. I love live music but for dinner Id rather talk to family and friends. When the band plays, its impossible to have converations. But if you like live music than talking then this is is a great place.

Food is so great! Service is excellent! Prompt and friendly staff. Attentive staff too. Will come back soon!

A family staple every time they come to visit me in Houston ! My family loves Claudia!

The ambiance was really great and the food was awesome! Sheena did a really great job assisting us :) We'll be back!

Traveled from Austin just to eat dinGerry's Grill! Authentic Filipino food with fantastic ambience! Jessa our server was super friendly and always had a smile. She made our foodie family feel like we were her family. She is truly superb! We will definitely be back!!!!

We have dinner at Gerry's several times a month and always have great service and excellent food. The entertainment on the weekends is great, lots of talent!

Food is great! Band is amazing. They play Friday-Sunday from 830pm-12am. They have a full bar. We got some drinks like Margarita- great mix of drinks. Entertaining band. Fast service.
