Charlie's Grind and Grill- Burgers, Wings and More in Legaspi Village, Makati

Burgers and Wings- a classic combination of our favorite comfort food. The mouthwatering duo that can instantly satisfy our hungry tummies. And where does one go for classic burgers and wings?

There may be a lot of new burgers and wings place around offering fancy gourmet burgers and extensive selections of flavored wings, but there is this one place that we always go back to- Charlie's Grind and Grill. Yes, it is that famous burger place just beside a car wash shop in Kapitolyo. And we have been loyal customers ever since it opened their second branch in Ronac Art Center in Greenhills.

However, it was only until recently that we learned they opened a third branch in Legaspi Village, Makati. Since D was scheduled for a haircut at Back Alley, we decided to drop by Charlie's to have some good 'ol burgers and wings.

Heard that Charlie's Grind and Grill is coming up with a new line of premium burgers. (As if their Wagyu and Angus beef burgers are not premium enough.) While I am not much into burgers, I really enjoy Charlie's simple and tasty handcrafted burgers. Price wise, I say they offer good value for your money. Nothing really fancy, just the classic all beef burger patty (without extenders- which explains why their burgers are crumbly and can be quite messy to eat) with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. 

I boosted my Wagyu Cheeseburger with Shrooms (P445), but for those who want a simpler, no-frills burger, Charlie's Wagyu Cheeseburger (P230) or Black Angus Cheeseburger (P220) is a great choice and definitely a bang for your bucks.
