P500 for P1000 worth of American diner food + drinks at Mr. Jones

A diner's oversized booths and oversized pies have long been a beacon of hope for teens dumped after prom and frowny clowns looking for new novelty-sized props. Take refuge in the crispy crust of an old-fashioned eatery with today's Sweet deal: P500 for P1000 worth of American diner food + drinks at Mr. Jones.

Mr. Jones is a new up-market and unpretentious contemporary diner. It is conveniently located at the ground floor area of Greenbelt 5 and entices gourmands with a festive menu that runs the gamut of classic counter chow. If the outcome of a day depended entirely on its first meal, then Mr. Jones would be a treat, as they proudly highlight their All-Day Breakfast menu. Rise and shine as the sun's eager grin blinds your eyes and bite into a 1/2-Inch Thick Double-Smoked Bacon & Eggs (P350), Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (P325), Challah French Toast (P350), 2 pieces French toast stuffed with Nutella and raspberry preserves as well as caramelized bananas topped with crispy bacon, powdered sugar and whipped cream served with maple syrup and whipped butter. Another egg-cellent  dish Eggs "Benny" 2 Ways (P295), "Canadian style" double smoked bacon and Norwegian smoked salmon, 2 poached eggs, wilted spinach, Hollandaise sauce, and roasted rosemary breakfast potatoes on top of Texas toast.

While their main course dishes are slightly priced at a premium, Mr. Jones makes up for it with huge servings and artistic presentation of their authentic All-American cuisine. The restaurant’s 1960’s diner-inspired design houses all-time favorite meals such as A Bowl O' Chili (P295), slow cooked sirloin chunks with cumin scented black beans topped with American cheddar and Jack cheese, sour cream, and salsa fresca served with crispy tortillas and jalapeños. And The Grilled Steak and Crispy Pear "Wedge" (P375), char-grilled and peppered Canadian tenderloin, sweet and tangy gorgonzola chive cream dressing, cherry tomatoes and shallots. A must try is also their Wicked Truffled Mac n' Cheese (P395), Char-grilled "Greek Style" Norwegian Salmon Steak (P450), Honey Drizzled Fried Chicken & Homemade Biscuits (P450) and the Grilled Herb-Dijon Bone-In U.S. Prime Rib Steak Dinner (400g) (P995)

No diner is complete without their Milkshakes (P250), all with Manila-Vanilla ice cream, topped whipped cream and crowned with two cherries. Choose from their diverse funky flavors such as The Funk Monkey (banana and Nutella milkshake topped with chocolate sprinkles), the Cherry Almond Crunch (Maraschino cherries, candied crunchy almonds and almond syrup), or their Blueberry Granola Yogurt "Slim Shake".



REVIEWS

The servings here are very generous and meant to be shared, which is a good thing if you are the type who wants different flavors in every meal. The restaurant is a bit small though, seating only 30 inside. About 40 people can be accommodated in the al fresco area.

Every single detail conspires to create the “sophisticated but youthful” taste both in atmosphere and in the dishes Mr. Jones’ kitchen ingeniously whip up.
