Lord Byron's Back Ribs Restaurant

Lord Byron's

Lord Byron's is a restaurant little known within Bacolod, but those who do know it love it, and those who don't know it, will love it as soon as they find it (and are able to get a table).

The restaurant is located in Homesite near the tennis courts. If you don't know where that is, it's a difficult place to find. Very few Homesite jeepneys drive past the area, but if you ask many of the drivers, you are bound to find one that knows of the place. Of course, you can always take a taxi. However, when doing so, be sure to tell them, "It's the place where all the Koreans and Japanese students eat", otherwise they might not know what you are talking about.

This is true. Most of their customers are foreigners, and that's with good reason. The food is delicious, and when new foreign students arrive, the previous students tell them about the great food the place serves and they keep coming back.

Of course, there's only around six tables available. Since they are only open for a few hours, it is impossible to show up without a reservation and expect to have a place to sit. Thus, please call a day before hand and tell them you are coming at a specific time, otherwise you'll stand around and never get a table.

Finally, since it is a small restaurant, they don't always have their entire menu. You'll likely be stuck with ordering either baby back ribs or spareribs. Of course, that's not a bad choice at all. Both are absolutely mouth watering and delicious. Neither is a bad choice.

Lord Byron's Back Ribs is often known as the best ribs in Bacolod. And, it definitely is the best place I have ate ribs. However, much of the reason has to do with the sauce. The meat is dry, so the sauce is a must. Even though they normally only have "original", it's absolutely delicious. It's a mixture of Filipino-American and tastes fantastic. They also give a very healthy serving.
