Mad Mark's Creamery, BGC

It wasn't my first time to dine at Mad Mark's in BGC since this is near in my work place. My first was with my team to spend our monthly team fund. Our monthly team fund is budgeted so we have to think of a worthy restaurant to spend it well. One of my team mate suggested Mad Mark's, since he knew that the ice cream (that's what they are famous for) and signature steak are good since he had tried way way back their Kapitolyo branch. Since the menu is within our team budget, we didn't hesitate to try their BGC branch. Well, if you are really craving for a steak and your budget is limited, I can honestly say that Mad Mark's won't disappoint at all. This would be one of the cheapest steak resto in the metro =). The steak is cooked on point according to your choice of done-ness, and the serving is generous.

The signature steak cost 265 php (during our last visit, Oct 12'17). It's 150 grams and you can choose 2 sides along with the steak. 

Sides that you can choose from would be: smashed potato, bacon potato salad, corn and carrots, house salad, garden grains and plain rice.

I can't count how many times me and my beau ate at Mad Mark's in BGC but one thing we noticed is that every time we wen't to Mad Mark's is that their menu always change, as in a lot! Haha, they have removed some of the selections but still the must try are always there. Good thing that the Signature steak and the Johnnie double black ribs which is our personal favorite are still available.

Here's a pic of their latest menu as of October 2017 😁

Here's the photos I took with the orders we had before for the Johnnie double black ribs :)

Appetizers we've tried before:

Basket of cajun (ohh this is sooo yummy 😋) 

Herb parmesan fries

My recent visit this October since they offer Big plate feast, me and beau tried the steak big plate. Based on the menu this serves 3 to 4 but we're not that sure because it seems to be just for two (since we have a big appetite) 😁

They say that you should always make room for dessert, what to Order, well of course, icecream 😁.  I'm a chocolate lover so what we ordered is the 2 heaping two scoops of Javan hot chocolate.

On our recent visit, one thing we noticed is that some of the staff are not considerable when it comes to transferring from one table to another. We arrived 8pm so as expected the room is jam-packed and they only have few seats available so when some other customers left, we asked one of the staff if we can transfer to the vacant and much more comfy seats. This would be the first time ever we've encountered that once you already placed your order you cannot transfer to another table anymore. They didn't explain what's the reason for that and to our surprise since they are the only ones who have that "rule", we just said "ok" and didn't argue with the staff anymore. They are three of them and they all just stood near the counter and even if the place is not that big, whenever we needed something we have to get their attention more than once. It's not like that before. I'm not sure why, they didn't seem busy at all since it's almost closing time and most of the tables are already cleared. If not by the food It wouldn't be worth it anymore to go back since we don't patronize a restaurant just by the food but also how they treat us, the customers.

Good thing that the steak, as expected didn't disappoint us, we ordered additional garden grains and also tried their freshly squeeze lemonade. Beau didn't like the after taste of it since there's a hint of mint and I'm not sure why. Hehe. But for me it tastes okay.

If you're up to affordable yet yummy eats, try Mad Mark's. Despite the recent experience we had with the staff I'll still give them a try but next time, would be going to the other branch too. Mad Mark's BGC is located at 3rd floor of Central Square, 5th Avenue Corner 30th Street, Bonifacio High Street, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. They also have other branch in Kapitolyo, Pioneer center, Glorietta and UP Town.
