The array of burgers on their menu!
Sleek modern design inside the resto!
Taking on this monumental task of reviewing a resto with fellow food critic Heny Sison brings with it both a sense of excitement and nervousness. Being the first review which I officially was a reviewer, I wanted to do justice to the food and still review it properly so as not to mislead my readers. So please bear with me with this review!
Stackers is a quaint little resto which at first glance seems intimidating and on the expensive side (read: Chilis or Friday’s). It rivaled those of Brothers Burger (without the cramped up space) or that of Wham (again not the food court type). This resto was a sit down meal with real waiters and a real menu and the spaces not feeling like you are being asked to eat and leave. This resto is the first one out in the market and not yet out for franchising. They offer up a variety of meals from salads (with burgers in the salad) to chicken meals with either fries (or chips as they call them) or rice, and the usual burgers.
Chips and Shake!Since this was a food review (official) I had no hesitations in ordering what I really wanted to try. We had milkshakes, burgers and fries. (I wanted to see what their claim to fame is.)
The triple stackerI had the triple stacker. (yes 3 patties)
The triple stacker was not as big as you would like to think. The burgers were not nearly as big as Bros. Burger’s or Chilis or Fridays or even Wham. McDonald’s quarter pounder would put the burger patties here to shame. Although they claim to have little or no fat in their burgers, sadly there was little or no moisture and taste of real beef or meat in the burgers. To compensate a healthy dolop of sauce and mayo with different relishes make up for the taste.
Cutting the steak to give you an idea of the size
Another order was the Philly Cheese steak.
The Philly Cheese Steak
The Philly Cheese Steak was not made with sirloin beef shreds but instead cut up pieces of the burger. But there was something different with this sandwich. It was actually really good! The jalapeno peppers and red bell peppers really made the dish flavourful. The cheese goes well with the taste of the burgers.
Jack’s Burger!
Last to arrive was the Jack’s Burger. (Jack in aussie terms means a Man’s Man.) The Jack’s burger consisted of a burger, bacon strips, monteray jack cheese and large bun.
This was a good burger and would recommend this to everyone who wants to try this burger joint. The burger was especially good because it was placed under the bacon absorbed some of the juices and tasted better.
Milkshake
The milkshakes were nothing out of the ordinary and were served in plastic cups. (most of their drinks were served in plastic cups)
The mozzeralla cheese is just stringfully good!
Lovin the mozzerella
The mozzeralla sticks were also nothing out of the ordinary and the marinara sauce tasted more like chili con carne instead of marinara. But I suppose someone enjoyed more than I did.
The cheese inside was stringy but the breading was dull and did not bring out any flavor. (and the sauce was something I wouldn’t come back for.)
All in all, given the location, if I wanted a burger and I didnt want to eat McDonalds I’d try it out. Maybe the chicken was good. The ambiance was awesome. It was a beautifully designed place. The best part being that it’s open 24/7. So just in case you find yourself craving for some burgers at 3 in the morning, head on over to Eastwood City, Libis and look for Stackers.
Our Stackers Meal*the menu sticks to its Aussie theme and calls its fries chips.
*edit: People have been asking me about the price, all I can say is that it is relatively cheap. With burgers ranging from P100 – P250
wow! really nice! i like the chewy sauce inside, from what i see in yr pic..:D
Yep. the sauce was awesome!
