Sakay na sa Gerry's Jeepney!

By: Ace Alabanza 

Maginhawa Street offers really good food spots, which is why they are famous for it. Gerry's Jeepney, located at 7B Maginhawa Street, Quezon City, Philippines, welcomes you with a Filipino setting of their restaurant. Group meals and real jeepneys with artistic designs are what the restaurant's known for. 

Gerry's Jeepney has a wide variety of Filipino dishes, whether it is "inihaw", fried, sizzled, and other types of Filipino cooking. It is good for group meals because of their boodle fight concept of eating. 

Obviously, Gerry is the owner of this food spot. As stated at their Facebook profile, "Gerry, the owner of jeepney, is the inspiration for this restaurant, because he is loud, makulay (colorful) and very Filipino, just like a jeepney." 

The place welcomes you with their real life jeepneys, wherein you can eat inside the jeepneys. They've placed tables and chairs inside of it. On the other side of the wall, there are signboards posted - the ones that you see if you ride a jeepney. Nonetheless, they also have seats inside of their restaurant which is fully air conditioned. 

When I first got here, me and my friend ordered Turon for P30, Sizzling Sisig with Egg Meal for P130, and Pinaputok na Tilapia for P190. Well, their food tasted like the normal Filipino dishes and the service was okay. Their group meals price ranges from P680-P1700. Other meals for sharing costs P30-P500. 

Meanwhile, if you plan to reserve a seat for a group, you may contact them at 4356824 in Maginhawa and 7460465 for their Kapitolyo branch. They are open on Tuesdays to Sundays, from 11AM to 12MN.
