Gerry's Grill, National City CA

Save the $2000 on the plane flight. Went here on a Friday night the live music was great. Food was great. Service was friendly and caring. A great filpino atmosphere.

Food was alright. Unfortunately there are too many other Filipino restaurants that taste better.

Service was really unpleasant. We were one of the first customers when it opened and one of our dishes was forgotten and didn't arrive until after we were all done with our meal. Short staff and customer service could have been much better.

The best Filipino restaurant in Daygo family function Corporate or just hang Fridays and Saturdays that have a band an authentic Filipino food

It’s located in Plaza Bonita Mall next to Target towards the outside facing the parking lot.

Plenty of seating if you wanted to have a large party. Service was quick and food was excellent. Usually Filipino cuisine can be too salty for me but not here. They did run out of a few things like the beer selections. We will for sure come back for other dishes.

We ordered:
-pork sinigang
-chopsuey
-pancit palabok
-beef kare kare
-pork sisig

My favorites were beef kare kare and pork sisig. The sisig had the perfect crisp. Pancit palabok was lacking calamansi so we asked for lemons.

Great portion size to share amongst 4 of us and with left overs on the pancit and soup. Rice was sold separately by individual bowls.

I'm just poor lol. I think the portions too small considering it's pricey. Taste is mid.

When I first read reviews on the service, I was worried. We went becauae it was where my granddaughter wanted to go. But our server, Maria was great. I recommend the lumpia, garlic fried rice and cicharon. The fried chicken was very overpriced for the 4 tiny pieces and fries. Almost like my Filipino mom used to make.

Had an awesome time. FOOD was delicious, our server Lovely was super courteous, and the live band was GREAT! Awesome time!

We got there 2 mins.before they closed and they still let us inside. Sisig was very good and the famous 5 + 1 beer & appetizer was awesome! Gloria, Riza & Marielle we're amazing, they accommodate us very well. We'll definitely be back there when in town!

Come with a group for the most fun. Live music I hear sometimes. Large delicious portions. Great Filipino food.

Absolutely terrible service! If I could give a half star, that’s what this place deserve. The waitress only took our order and didn’t check on us! It was even hot in the restaurant! The food is good and I want to try the new halo-halo but even if we left not paying no one will notice! There’s a bunch of staff in front but pay no attention. I have to pay to the front and left NO TIP that they deserve. Sorry, not sorry!

I went to attend a relative birthday party. They have a spacious function hall for big party. The Filipino food are good on our table we shared, Crispy Pata, Sisig na Bangus, Kare-Kare, I had sago and gulaman for drinks and Buko Pandan for dessert. My cousin let me finish her milky iced halo-halo and that one is amazing. Our very patient and server Maria and Mariel are so warm and attend us very well with all our demands inspite of a big party.

We came in for late dinner. Service is great. Food lots of servings. I wish they stay open more late to cater late customers. Overall delish food.

Came for an early dinner on Friday and got seated pretty quickly. There was live music; a singer on piano. Loved it! Totally unexpected. I would never thought there'd be live music in a casual restaurant. The singer was great (think acoustic covers of your favorite 90s-00s songs).

We ordered a couple of beers (yep. Filipino beer) and dishes and they came quickly.

Lumpia Shanghai (springrolls) :
crisp and hot. Exactly how they are supposed to be. Portion is huge! But leftover lumpias are good lumpias to me.

Grilled octopus:
Simple, tasty.

Beef kare kare:
This is my first time trying kare kare and I was blown away. I did not know about this dish before coming here and honestly I was skeptical at first, but peanut butter beef turned out to be a great combo. Highly recommend!

We came as a group of 24 people. It was the first for some of our party. I strongly suggested Gerry’s Grill because I love their food. There were so many staff members standing around so I was hopeful that there wouldn’t be any problems or delays with the service (as experienced in past visits). Especially since our visit was on a weekday evening.

Service is the only issue I’ve had with Gerry’s Grill. The order taking process takes so long- drinks arrive long after orders are placed, and the servers don’t check back after the food arrives to see if we need anything else.

We will still continue to dine at Gerry’s Grill, they have dishes that other Filipino food places don’t have.

I recommend lots of patience and everything will be fine)

WARNING! Food was alright… BUT if you and a group of friends/family come BEWARE because they don’t do split checks (which is pretty dumb since their portions are too large for just one person) it makes no sense! I doubt we’d be coming back since they were pretty rude about it too!
