Nothing can make these two more excited than dressing up and getting ready to go out with Lolo and Lola. This time we were off to check out one of the venues for our nephew Bradzen’s first birthday next month and then we were off to lunch at Gerry’s Jeepney in Maginhawa.
Yes, this post was supposedly for September but you know me, I can’t keep up with my blog these days so I’m a bit late in posting and Twinkle is still three months old here.
We ended up having lunch somewhere so we decided to drop by Gerry’s Jeepney for early dinner instead. There was already a long line of people when we arrived at around 5:30 pm.
Initially, we wanted a table inside one of those dressed-up jeepneys but seeing how long the waiting line is and how hot it was al fresco, we changed our minds. We opted for a table inside where there’s a/c.Besides we have a three month old with us and we could imagine how irritable she would be once she felt how hot it was outside.
peanutbutter♥ (who goes by the name DaddyDoodleDoo these days), Ykaie, and Twinkle just had a photo opp by the jeepney tables right before we ate.
Guess what’s for dinner?
Gerry’s Jeepney is known for their Boodle Set Menu named after places you’ll most likely see on jeepney placards. They have Quiapo, Cubao, Ayala, Monumento, and Alabang. It’s generally good for 2- 8 persons depending on which set you’d choose. Prices ranges from ₱650 to ₱1,600.
We didn’t have that though, and chose from the Additional Orders menu.
We had Ensaladang Talong with Itlog na Pula (₱75) as a sidedish. I personally love this because of the bagoong isda (fish paste) with onions and tomato. I can actually just have this plus steamed rice and I’d be a happy camper.
Of course that’s not all that we had, we also ordered my favorite Pork Sisig (₱175). Gerry’s Jeppney’s version had a bit of crunch into it and that rich flavorful taste I am always looking for when it comes to sisig. Yum!
Hmmmmnn, now that I’ve thought about it. All those that we ordered were my favorites! The Binagoongang Lechon Kawali with Pritong Talong (₱180) rates five stars for me. I also make Binagoongang Baboy the same way as Gerry’s Jeepney makes them — the kind that makes you want to eat one pot of rice!
Ykaie ordered Inihaw na Liempo (₱150), what else? It was nice that the serving is big and the liempo is freshly and perfectly grilled.
Because of all those pork dishes, we had to have vegetables so we ordered their Gising-Gising topped with Crispy Dilis (₱90). Instead of sitaw or green beans that I am accustomed to, their version is made up of Kangkong stalks that have been chopped into tiny pieces. I love my Gising-Gising rich and creamy and it’s the one thing that this needs to improve on.
We had a great experience at Gerry’s Jeepney. The staff were attentive to our needs and the food is okay.
Gerry’s Jeepney is located at #7 Maginhawa St., UP Village, Quezon City.

wow nice love it
Thanks Tracy!
What a precious family Peachy!!! Food looks good too.
Thanks MJ!
I love this restaurant’s concept. Too bad you were able to get a jeepney table. The food looks delicious and quite affordable too.
It’s ok. it’s more comfortable naman inside.
The food looks yummy especially the lechon kawali. Haven’t been to Maginhawa area for ages. Hoping to go there soon. 🙂
It is yummy!
All the food looks yum! The pork sisig!!! Nakakatakam!! And the place looks so cute! Ahh how I wish I’m near Maginhawa so I could eat at the restos there. 😉
hay naku, visit Maginhawa na!
I saw this in rated k and it intrigued me. I’d love to try the boodle. I find their price very reasonable.
I’m sure you’ll love it there.
The place looks very classic. Love it!
Thanks May Ann!
I love their Filipino theme. I would want to try the boodle fight while eating in one of the jeepney tables!
Same here. Thanks!
We haven’t really dined at any Maginhawa restaurants before. Gerry’s Jeepney is quite an exciting place, and their food looks tempting!
Naku, it’s about time you give this a try.
The food that you ordered looked so delicious! I will tell my husband about this resto when we go to QC or UP again next time. 🙂 I’m sure our boys will enjoy riding on those jeeps. 😉
And I’m sure you’ll love this resto too!
Nakakatuwa yung Jeepney. I find the restaurant very unique. I like that it has a very Filipino theme. Too bad that it’s far from my place.
aww, sayang naman…
Since firstborn’s school is near Maginhawa, touring the place and looking for new diners to eat has become a hobby. Funny though that when we intend to eat at Gerrys Jeepney, for instance, we cant find it at all and ended up at another cafe. Seeing that food all the more pushes me to really look for that place. I love the Binagoongang Lechon Kawali with Pritong Talong, Gising-Gising topped with Crispy Dilis, Ensaladang Talong with Itlog na Pula, and Pork Sisig. Ay, parang lahat na talaga!
Ay nako, you’ll really love this place!
Wow, mura ng food dito! Parang I wanna order everything you ordered. XD
I’m sure magugustuhan mo rin dito.
Argh the ensiladang talong looks yummy! And the Binagoongan too. This is such a cool concept. I wouldn’t mind dining in the jeepney seats if not for the hellish weather. ????
True!!! The weather would wanna make you eat inside na lang.
Natakam ako sa Ensaladang Talong with Itlog na Pula and the Binagoongang Lechon Kawali. I wish that they will have a branch here at the South soon
Sana nga!!
