Filipino-American grillhouse with 90s vibe, skewers, silog
"Inspired by Outback and LongHorn, this Filipino American steakhouse from Chance Anies feels more personal than his first restaurant, Tabachoy, channeling the chain-restaurant “luxury” and polished hospitality he loved as a kid into a format that introduces less familiar Filipino flavors; the prime rib comes with an adobo‑esque soy sauce‑ and peppercorn‑infused jus, and the burger gets a swipe of mayo blended with bangus, oil‑preserved milkfish." - Bettina Makalintal
"Manong is new to Fairmount, but its siblingTabachoyhas already earned Filipino-star status inBella Vista. Here, the chef trades tradition for a playful riff on chain-ysteakhouses—including a tasty, mushroom-y Bloomin' Onion-moment. But the menu swings high and low: the crispy lumpia with mozzarella and a sweet, soy-slicked prime rib soar, while the basic burger, overdressed potato salad, and bitter cocktails lag behind. For now, come for a glass of gamay, crispy pork belly, and the free Ninja Turtles arcade game in the corner. We’re pretty sure we already hold the high score." - Candis R. McLean
