Affordable Breakfast at 50's Diner (Baguio City)
I have been hearing
about 50's Diner from both travelers and locals of Baguio. Most of these people
are raving about how affordable their offerings are, some says it’s a must try
restaurant since it has been in Baguio for quite some time now. With all those
things I have been hearing, I know that a visit to that place during our visit
in Baguio will totally be included in the itinerary.
We started our
second day in Baguio by having a hearty breakfast in 50's Diner.
The façade and the
entire restaurant looks like an old American diner with posters of American pop
icons, neon lights and of course a jukebox.
We were handed the
menu and there goes the dilemma once more. What to order?! I have been
researching about this place prior to our visit and I somehow know what to get
but haven't stopped contemplating since I want almost everything that they have
in their menu.
Since were having
breakfast, I decided to order their Pancake Tower but was told that it is not
available at that time. I was sadden by the news since I have definitely been
looking forward in having that humungous serving of pancakes. I just decided to
order the regular ones. Pa ordered the Fresh Egg with Hotdog and Bacon, while
Ma got her favorite Spam with Egg

We shared the
pancakes which was surprisingly huge and
we all love it. Its fluffy and it’s the way pancakes should be cooked! It was
better though if they just serve a bottle of maple syrup instead of a small
portion of it with the pancake. I know that I could ask for an extra maple
syrup but just decided not to do so.
Mom and dad's orders
were nothing but ordinary. It was a little pity to see a strip of poorly cooked
bacon on dad's plate. I tried having a bite from mom's plate and thought that
their garlic rice is good.
Chicken Spears was
served with fries on the side and I am unsure if it was the Baguio temperature
or it was really served cold to our table. But most probably the latter. I wish
they have served us freshly fried fries instead of the cold soggy ones.
Verdict and
Recommendations:
I'll give 50's Diner
a 3/5. Food is ok, service is ok too, but nothing really exceptional.
Must try their
Pancakes! Oh so fluffy! I loved their Hot Chocolate as well.
They have a lot of
things in their menu and I know I wanna go back there to try a lot more. The
milkshakes and the plated combos I heard are must try's too.
