A few weeks ago, my nanay and I went out for our much-needed mother-daughter date. I had four vouchers bought from CashCashPinoy for 52% off on food and drinks from Dillingers 1903 Steak Brew restobar in Greenbelt 3. After hours of pampering from rO2 Beauty and Wellness Center, we were starving so we headed straight to the restaurant.
Upon our arrival on the third floor of Greenbelt 3, we immediately saw Dillingers 1903. Okay, I asked a guard for the exact location. π It was beside Red Box. And as soon as we got there, I couldnΓ’β¬β’t help but admire the design of the outside of the restaurant.
The wooden doors, the brick wall, the mix of hues of black, gold and gray, and the wide glass windows are reminiscent of something youΓ’β¬β’d see in a mafia movie. So, letΓ’β¬β’s go insideΓ’β¬Β¦
As soon as you push that slightly heavy door to enter the resto, youΓ’β¬β’d be welcomed by a very relaxing ambiance. I know, this is a restobar, but itΓ’β¬β’s just so cozy inside that I couldnΓ’β¬β’t help but wish I was with my barkada too Γ’β¬Λcause itΓ’β¬β’s the perfect location for a fun night of crazy conversations over bottles of liquor. π
I love the seats, the marble tables, the colors (okay, mainly because of the excessive use of black :D), and how comfortable we were while we were dining in. Too bad I canΓ’β¬β’t drink Γ’β¬Λcause IΓ’β¬β’m with my nanay. Not that she wonΓ’β¬β’t allow me, but IΓ’β¬β’d rather stay sober during my whole date with her. π
Oh, and speaking of alcoholic drinks, Dillingers 1903 prides itself with their wide selection of wines, imported beer and liquor. The photo above is of our table, the closest one from the door. ThereΓ’β¬β’s a liquor display behind me, teasing me to order at least one shot of anything with alcohol. But, I chose not to be carried away. π
Below are photos of Dillingers 1903 menu. They serve American dishes and youΓ’β¬β’d be surprised to note that for a restobar that might remind you of TGI FridayΓ’β¬β’s, their prices are very affordable. IΓ’β¬β’m not kidding! Just click on each thumbnail to see a larger version of their menu.
And as you continue on reading this post, youΓ’β¬β’d be pleasantly surprised with, not just the prices, but the serving sizes as well. We were shocked, especially my nanay. π
We first ordered drinks. I had Dr. Pepper and my mom went for their 4 seasons Γ’β¬β both priced at Php 65.00.
For starters, we ordered their Classic Caesar Salad (Php 145). It was heaping with parmesan cheese, crunchy lettuce, bacon bits, and croutons. The serving can be good for three people Γ’β¬β 2 if you were as hungry as we were :D. The flavorful salad definitely prepared our appetite for the upcoming dishes.
One of our most recent new favorites is Cream Dory dishes. WeΓ’β¬β’ve prepared it multiple times at home and we just couldnΓ’β¬β’t stop raving about Fish and CoΓ’β¬β’s version of Fish and Chips. Guess what? Dillingers 1903Γ’β¬β’s interpretation of this well-loved dish easily moved to the top of my list. ItΓ’β¬β’s priced at Php 195, a little cheaper, you see. π My nanay absolutely loved it that she didnΓ’β¬β’t even want to share it with me. π It was seasoned perfectly with a little crunch that you expect from this dish.
Nanay wanted a pasta dish so she ordered their Carbonara (Php 165). I only tasted it twice for my review Γ’β¬Λcause we were starting to get full from all the food we ordered. π
This one, I didnΓ’β¬β’t completely like. But, wait. ItΓ’β¬β’s not that it didnΓ’β¬β’t taste good. The saltiness of the parmesan cheese and bacon bits, and the hint of white wine mixed in with the creamy sauce were absolutely delicious. However, I prefer the sauce to be thicker. Theirs were slightly watery for me. The flavors were spot on though. π
In our quest to find the best wings in the Metro, I ordered Dillingers 1903Γ’β¬β’s six-piece Wings (Php 165). It wasnΓ’β¬β’t too spicy. YouΓ’β¬β’d think that they were dry from the photo above, but they werenΓ’β¬β’t at all. The wings were chunky and packed with flavors too. π I still love KenΓ’β¬β’s buffalo wings over this though. π
Next up is our plate of Fillet Mignon; ordered it medium well as always. For the price of Php 395, I say it was well worth it. The beef was juicy, with that smoky flavor making this piece of steak so savory.
If you think weΓ’β¬β’re already moving on to desserts, youΓ’β¬β’re wrong. I wanted to use up all my vouchers that day Γ’β¬Λcause it was expiring in about two weeks. So, we ordered their Clubhouse sandwich. We were planning on snacking on them as we watch a movie later on that night. BUT, we were so fricking full from the food we ordered. HereΓ’β¬β’s a photo of my mom enjoying our meal at Dillingers 1903.
Take note that we only finished the Fish and Chips, Fillet Mignon and only had one piece each of the wings. We barely touched the fries. We had to have everything else packed for takeout. Imagine my surprise when our Clubhouse sandwich arrived:
Yep, there were not just one, but THREE containers full of the Clubhouse Sandwich that was priced at Php 265. π I got to taste it later at the cinema. It was the best Clubhouse sandwich IΓ’β¬β’ve had in a long time. ItΓ’β¬β’s filled with pickles, cheese, ham, spicy roast beef, chicken, egg, tomato, and bacon. ItΓ’β¬β’s one heck of a filling sandwich. π
We still had room for dessert. We wanted to order their lava cake, but they ran out so we opted for their vanilla ice cream (Php 95). We didnΓ’β¬β’t see this on their menu and we had to ask them if they had desserts, by the way.
Their staff was very accommodating. Funny, the lady waiting on our table confirmed with us if we were really ordering all these dishes. When our orders finally arrived, I told her that we didnΓ’β¬β’t know the servings were good enough for 3-4 persons. π
After our meals, my nanay and I walked around Greenbelt to pass the time before our scheduled movie screening. We decided to window-shop for holiday gifts and we saw somemens titanium watches, cute tops and shoes, but we didnΓ’β¬β’t have enough time for fittings so weΓ’β¬β’ll just go back probably next week.
Oh, before I forget, Dillingers 1903 has this Happy Hour promo, Mondays to Sundays, 3pm to 8pm. ItΓ’β¬β’s a buy one, take one promo on their selected cocktails. HereΓ’β¬β’s the list of your choices:
Overall, we had a remarkably satisfying dining experience in Dillingers 1903 Steak Brew restobar. The quality and flavors of their food and reasonable prices make me really look forward to coming back to try their other dishes and their cocktails too. π I give them a MUST-TRY rating. π

Waaaahh.. gusto ko ng Filet Mignon!!!
Namimiss ko rin yung Filet Mignon!! :))
If I went here, I think I’d rorder the wings! It looks delicious, though I hope I find it spicy. ;p I want the fillet mignon as well! (hehe, and yeah, you did order quite a bit)
Hahaha yeah, we had to use up all my vouchers (amounting to Php 2,000) ’cause it’ll be expiring in 2 weeks. Their prices kasi were very affordable so we had to order more. We even had Php 200+ remaining, but I just told them we don’t want to order anymore. LOL
Grabe naman! Carbonara, Caesar Salad and chicken wings! All of them are my fave. And with the servings, the price is worth it.
The place looks very similar to Bugsy’s playing up on the whole Mob theme.ΓΒ You actually should try having beef cooked medium, the perfect mix of tender meat inside and seared meat outside.
When I prepare beef / steaks at home, I opt to cook them to medium. When I’m dining out, I always choose medium well when they’re seared or grilled. I’ve had experience kasi before na I didn’t like how the medium steaks I ordered turned out so I had to have them cooked up to medium well, but I guess it won’t hurt to try again. π
Shoot! Looks masarap and yes, the prices are quite reasonable. I’m gonna (impulse) buy that Groupon – Beeconomic now!
Go! :)) It’s so worth it!
The place looks expensive, but food is really cheap! I should bring my mom there next time! We also tend to order a lot but don’t get to finish everything. Hehe. Thanks for the share!ΓΒ
Yeah, you’d get that impression that the food are expensive. So worth it talaga gurl! π
I want the Caesar salad and so as the clubhouse…looks really yummy and it is worth the price. =)
The Caesar salad has got to be one of the best versions I’ve tasted. On top is Mario’s, of course. π
Wow, all these food photos are really making me hungry. I want to buy sana kaso I’ve been burned by group buying websites. Kakainis ang Metrodeal. Sigh.
Aww so sorry to hear that. So far, I’ve had good experience naman with all my group-buying deals. I guess it depends din sa restaurant or business. There are some na magulo kausap.
I love it here!ΓΒ The prices are very reasonable considering the large servings of some dishes.ΓΒ Haven’t tried the Happy Hour yet though.ΓΒ How much are the cocktails on the Happy Hour menu? π
For the Happy Hour, same price as indicated on their menu. You’ll just get another order for free for the selected cocktails. π
Homaygash! Despite the nice ambience, the food are practically priced. I want! Btw, that photo of your dessert suddenly put a dagger and killed me. Now, I really want…
Aww glad my dessert photo had that effect on you. That’s what I was aiming for. LOL
And yes, super swak ang prices π
Ahhh.. this post is best for lunch talaga. Kakagutom. Hahaha! I wanna try it too. The resto looks so expensive but the food is not. Cool!
We got to check out their menu before we went there so I thought baka it’s not as delicious. But, dang, I was proven wrong. π
Nakakagutom naman…gotta try the clubhouse sandwich π
Mother and Daughter bonding with food. Made me feel hungry even though I just had my merienda… xP
I like to try the fillet Mignon. Looks tempting… ΓΒ
We loved the Filet Mignon! π

OMG! The prices are so affordable!!!! Now this post made me regret not getting vouchers for Dillingers >.< But I'll definitely check this place out when I pay GB a visit. Thank you so much for sharing this! π
I just saw the deal is still active on Beeconomic! π Bought a 1k-worth voucher just now.. Woot ^^
Woot! I also bought Php 1,000 worth of vouchers (Php 2,000 total).
Oh, you MUST bring 2 to 3 people with you. We didn’t get to finish all the food and had LOTS of takeout. LOL
Now I miss my mother….
I’ll absolutely try Fillet Mignon!ΓΒ

Too bad they didn’t have it available when we were there. We’ll make sure to order that next time. π
