Gerry's Restaurant: Gearing up on its 20th year anniversary





From its modest beginnings as the go to bar of barkadas, and yuppies looking for a place to drink and unwind, Gerrys has slowly evolved to become a family restaurant that has become part of almost every Pinoy family celebration. Whether its a birthday celebration or a reunion of families who've lived a broad for quite a while, Gerrys dishes are a constant reminder of the real taste of home, and the mere mention of crispy pata, kare kare and their sisig is enough to make any OFW scramble for the next tickets back home.


Gerry's Restaurant is gearing up on its 20th anniversary this coming February 2017.  In preparation for its 20th anniversary on Feb 2017, Gerry's presented their  new dishes and desserts.

Gerrys, currently has a 80-branch network and is set to open five branches during the first quarter of 2017 at  SM San Pablo, SM Iloilo, Festival Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Bacolod City, and Mactan, Cebu.

The event was attended by media and guests from PH Volcanoes Rugby team and College of Saint Benilde Lady Blazers. 







Gerry's presented their new dishes  Salt & Pepper Squid, Chicharon Liempo, Kalderetang Kambing and Spanish Style Bangus. New Desserts: Sweet Suman, Crunchy Camote Chips, Turon con Yema, Sweet Potato Ala Mode. Along with their Christmas Packages menu.



Formerly known as “Gerry’s Grill”, it has metamorphosed into a family restaurant, which serves more than just beer and ‘pulutan’.


Gerry’s Restaurant and Bar, the beloved homegrown restaurant, will celebrate its 20th anniversary on February 2017.


Fantastic food for everyone

Food items go thru a series of checks to ensure that they are served hot and fresh to guests. To maintain consistency, Gerry’s has a team of quality assurance officers who visit all the branches regularly.

Gerry’s hard work has paid off with numerous recognitions for its excellent dishes, among them: Spot.ph - Best Bangus Sisig Award for 2012, The Choice - People's Favorite Restaurant for Office Party Award for 2015 and People's Favorite Sisig Award for 2015 & 2016.

Gerry’s has embraced a more casual, family-oriented ‘feel’ compared to its former ‘tambayan’ vibe.

From 80’s music, more hip and current hits not only from pop artists but also You Tube stars could be seen and heard from flat screen TVs and audio system, which decked its walls.




Back then Gerry’s was only open at nighttime to accommodate drinkers. With its growing popularity, it eventually acceded to requests from guests to extend its operations to early lunch to enjoy their favorite dishes.



More to come

Moving towards its 20th year Gerry’s, which currently has a 80-branch network in the country, is set to open five branches during the first quarter of 2017 - SM San Pablo, SM Iloilo, Festival Mall in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, Bacolod City, and Mactan, Cebu.
