Sat outside and loved the D’Mall location and great people watching. The onion rings were so bland and tasteless that I didn’t finish them. The pulled pork was ok but not very well seasoned. The kielbasa sandwich was mainly bread with the thin slices of...meat disappearing long before the bread but with an ok taste. Recommend Jammers Restaurant on the beach just a minute walk away rather than wasting your time here.More

Borocay is difficult to find a good place to eat in its current guise. This place was full when others were only partly full so we thought we would give it a go - we were not disappointed !! Great food and reasonably priced for...Borocay. Pulled pork bbq is good. Not by the water front but in a lovely square with live music next door. Tables are a bit close together due to how busy it gets and service charge (everywhere!) are only negatives.More

We were supposed to have lunch here, but I persuaded my daughter to try the lunch buffet at a popular hotel chain in station 2. This buffet turned out to be quite disappointing. We arrived here at Backyard Bbq past 2 pm. There were tables...available. I’m definitely coming back for their mussels. They were literally swimming in cheese and butter! My daughter had their bacon skewers. Came back that night with a group pf 6, but the tables were full now, and there was a waiting list. Will be back for sure.More

If you’re craving for great tasting, smoky BBQ, I strongly suggest that you head here. We ordered Baby Back Ribs (medium serving) but it was almost a full size rack. It was served with a big slice of grilled pineapple and slices of oranges. This...alone is one HAPPY MEAL! The family also ordered their Heart Attack Plate composed of aligue rice (rice with crab fat), hotdog and chorizo sticks, bangus (milkfish), and 2 slices of pork belly. Everything on this plate is thumbs up! Serving is good for 2-3 persons. We also had Sizzling Pulled Pork which is tasty, tender (VERY!) and huge serving. Good enough for 2. Even their Onion Rings didn’t disappoint. Crunchy and tasty. Unlike other onion rings which were oily and mushy. EVERYTHING here is thumbs up! I recommend eating here. Service was fast. Food was cheap.More

Great food, quick but not rushed service, efficient but not insufficient service. It was really nice to watch these guys work and then eat the results. Everyone knows their job and the orders really flow. The BBQ ribs are heaven. Many restaurants can learn from...their setup, menu and methods. The menu is great but not overly complex. The ribs are very good and the sides are very well suited to compliment the mains. Watching this well oiled machine run, it was clear to see how they turn over so many tables but still have very satisfied customers. Definately I will visit again.More

Located right in front of Boracay's lovely Feliz Hotel, this restaurant is quite easy to find. The place is small, with only a few tables and chairs to accommodate diners. Luckily there was one free. As we took our seat and browsed over the menu,...two dishes immediate caught our attention ... the "She" platter and the "Heart Attack." We opted for the second one, which was composed practically grilled "liempo" (pork belly), sausages, hotdogs, veggies, and "bangus" (milk fish) served with some "aligue" (crab fat) rice. Service was fast and courteous. We really enjoyed our meal (except the "bangus" which my friend and I don't eat). However, we were a bit annoyed by a group of boisterous diners close to our table who laughed and chatted at the top of their voice! We just thought that it was a rude thing to do. Anyway, it was a good dining experience just the same and not very costly, too. :DMore

Their foods were delicious (as usual) and staff were nice. A must-try restaurant while in the island of Boracay. Just located in the heart of D’Mall.

This was the best food experience we had during our Boracay visit. Those BBQ ribs are out of this world, trust me! And the prices are reasonable. I honestly recommend it.

Our fave place for lunch and dinner...so far been here 2x and while we’re still here. Might go again 😀😍😎 Just overall happy we are very happy with their service, quality of food, portion, though can be pricey but definitely worth the value 🔘Service -...very friendly, attentive, and helpful staff. Will share you their best seller dishes. 🔘Menu - obviously more on to BBQ/grilled food. Limited to chicken and pork meat I guess.. and some juices and soft drinks... 🔘Quality of Food and Portion - definitely great portion. Another restaurant with generous portion that can be shared, good value for us that don’t eat much. Quality, absolutely delicious and tasty 😋 🔘Price - can be pricey but really worth the value and for everyone to try. Well recommended for BBQ/Grilled Filipino Food when in Boracay within D’MallMore

Unfortunately I got terrible food poisoning last night from here. I was very sick for 2 day's. I know it was from here as my husband and I had the same breakfast that morning, we shared the stacked onion rings, then I had the 'Best...Chicken' dish, and he had the baby back ribs, he was fine I was so ill 😱 this is the 3rd time I've got bad food poisoning on our 2 month trip traveling around the Philippines, I think the food hygiene standards here are terrible. And I've traveled all over Asia, India and the Americas and never got food poisoning. Very disappointed.More

This place is located in d'mall . It is always extremely busy. we had the onion rings, ribs and half chicken . Overall i thought it was a very good . The only two negatives for me were that i thought the onion rings could...have used some seasoning. That being said they were cooked perfectly and the batter was excellent . Another small thing that bothered me about the restaurant was that they do not have a bathroom . You have to go across the alley and pay 10 pesos to use a bathroom. I would rate the place a solid C+.More

I first discovered this food chain while vacationing with my gf in El Nido, Palawan. We took a trike to the nearby beach as was recommended. We found the place in a newly built tiny outdoor mall. That one served absolutely delicious food. There was...a power outage during our meal but it was still delicious. When I saw the long lines here at d*mall on Boracay I expected the same quality and great taste. I was so disappointed. There were several problems, the food is not stocked well to feed the large crowds of tourists, the flavors are significantly milder and less flavorful as the one in Palawan. They ran out of my order and was replaced with a different, more expensive option without consulting me first. I'm disappointed overall with how they managed the restaurant and food available. My other option was McDonald's at the end of d*mall near the little grocery store but that one also ran out of food. Considering that mass crowds of food, the demand was too much for the supply and people left upset there too. Not enough food in this tourist destination is a significant problem.More

This was another place in Dmall that had long queues to get a seat for a meal, we decided to try in the afternoon, so we didn’t have to wait so long but even then at 3pm it had a long queue very popular with...Koreans. Onions rings we so good!! We both ordered steaks, however these were not steaks, these we like a mall piece of snitzel. I asked for well done and husband rare but there was no way you could have rare as only a couple of mm thick. The flavours of the meal were beautiful but don’t ‘expect to be getting steak.More

This is apparently a must-go for a lot of Korean tourists. We tried 3 raved-about dishes: The onion ring tower, the baby back ribs, and the lemon butter shrimp aioli. The onion ring tower was nice and crispy but it was more of an instagram...moment than a get-in-my-belly moment. The baby back ribs were great. The meat just falls off the ribs and the potato and paprika stir-fry side it comes with was delicious. The lemon butter shrimp aioli was dry but I wouldn’t say it was tasteless. That’s all. Overall, I’d say it’s a good price for a decent meal, but not worth a long wait in line.More
