We have eaten there just once and I never had the desire to eat there again. Perhaps because of discontentment of the food: the taste, the serving and the crew.

The restaurant is closed on Sunday, so be sure to go any other day. I don't think the beer gets cold until 7pm or so. I went at 4 and had a luke warm beer. Now, the reason I went was for the ostritch burger. Talk about a good burger... read about a good burger. This one is phenomenal. It's a filipino thing to use cucumber instead of pickles on burgers so I'm getting used to that still. We ordered the huge 450gram burger and it was enough for 4 people. There's also indoor badminton and Video Karaoke.

If you’re ever in General Santos City, you have to stop at the Red Trellis Seafood Garden. Located in a plaza off South Cotabato street, with other restaurants, as well as a Microtel hotel, this is by far one of the hidden gems in this city. The restaurant was clean with seating inside and out. The staff was friendly and service was quick. They served some of the best ribs I’ve had during my visit there. So tender, the meat came right off the bone! Awesome flavor & sauce that you couldn’t stop eating. We had a whole crab with garlic sauce, which was also delicious. Red Trellis is a must eat and I will definitely return.

we wanted to watch a movie at robinson's movieworld scheduled at 12:30 noon on a sunday. arrived at grab a crab at around 11:30 am. we were served immediately as we were the only customers to the fairly spacious resto. did not order crabs but ordered chinese dishes. service was quick but the food served were very oily. they splurge on cooking oil. the sauce for shanghai lumpia was banana ketchup and i am partial towards tomato. the biggest surprise was the bill. extremely cheap.

If you want to feel how the lpcals dine, this is your place to go. Various seafood can be seen in this place althpugh it may be a little less than seafood options in Larsian (Cebu) and a little more expemsive as well (lato is 80 pesos compared to larsian which is 50). Although, the food was still super delicious and worth the price. The place is also clean enough compared to the usual by the road eateries you usually see. On the other hand, the palce can get a little to crowded but the good thing the place where we ate accepts reservations. Overall the food was a great as well as the experience.P.S. we orderedLato - 80Sizzling bihud and bagaybay (fish eggs) - 180Tinola na ulo ng tuna -160Kinilaw - 160Barbeque (kids) -7/pc

Roasted native chicken in local spices.This restaurant accept reservations which is best during weekends which is usually full.

We ordered crabs and shrimps in the same type of sauce and surprisingly they tasted differently, both good but the shrimps were more savory. Their fresh strawberry shake was really good. Their fast service was also notable.
