After reading reviews and talking to a couple who previously visited Brice BBQ, I was very optimistic for an above average Philippines restaurant experience... sadly I was let down, repeatedly. I really wanted it to be good... but it’s just boring.
First, I was disappointed...with the selection of meat available. It’s pretty much pork or chorizo on a stick, or a chicken breast. No pork chops, no beef, or ribs. Not even really any interesting side dishes (packet frozen french fries) you would expect with a BBQ.
The flavour is OK if you like the one sauce (honey-teriyaki kinda sauce) they cover everything with, no variation and I think this was where I felt most let down... just boring. I ordered 3 dishes to see if there would be any difference... i’ll save you the expense, there was none. Maybe they keep it simple for the staff, who, the server while nice was inattentive. Only ever visiting the table to take my order and deliver food, no follow up service, like second drinks, asking about the food, or to deliver the bill. He made me get up to pay him at the bar... but again, this is pretty much the Filipino standard in Cebu. My meal was around P550.
All-in-all I think the food vendors at the Oslob night market has more variation and flavours than Brice.. and is less expensive.
* I was also sad to see on an island with a trash problem, they are not using bottled beer which are cleaned and reused by the brewery. They serve aluminium cans that end up in the trash.More
