Lord of the Ribs is one of the newest restaurants in Banilad, Cebu. It is owned by a group of young entrepreneurs and specializes in ribs and other grilled meats.
Booky Tip: You get your money’s worth here because an order of their rack of ribs, that’s good for two, costs only P335! It comes with curry rice and their signature white sauce.
They started out as a food stall at the Sugbo Mercado Weekend Market where their bestselling Pork Rib n’ Rice (shredded smoked pork on a bed of curry rice, special white sauce) became the talk of the town.
Insider Fact: Most of the time they're sold out as early as 8 pm! (the market starts at 5 pm).
They recently opened their first branch across Bright Academy school and introduced some new dishes to their menu. Aside from their huge rack of ribs, LOTR also offers Peri-Peri Chicken (South African grilled chicken, chili con carne, curry rice), the Tres Layered Quesadillas (chili con carne, smoked pork ribs, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese), and Potato Shells (smoked pork ribs, bacon bits, cheese).
They’ve only recently opened their doors to the public last May and is still on soft opening. No news yet on whether they plan on opening a branch in Manila but we’re keeping our fingers crossed!
