We were there about 6:30 in the middle of the week, so they were out of a few things. The pork adobo was great!

Sure! Here’s a review that can help highlight the food and atmosphere to attract more customers:
A Taste of the Philippines You Can’t Miss! I recently had an incredible dining experience at Manila Grill, and I can’t stop raving about it! This gem of a restaurant serves authentic Filipino cuisine that will delight your taste buds and warm your heart.
I tried their kwek kwek, which are deep-fried quail eggs coated in a perfectly crispy batter, served with a flavorful and tangy manong sauce—an absolute must-try! Another standout dish was the pork isaw, grilled pork intestines on skewers. It’s smoky, tender, and bursting with flavor, truly a Filipino street food classic done right.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere is inviting, and the staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. They made me feel right at home, explaining the dishes and sharing their passion for Filipino cuisine.
Whether you’re new to Filipino food or already a fan, Manila Grill is the place to go for authentic dishes and warm hospitality. Don’t miss out—this is your ticket to the Philippines without leaving the city!

By far the best lumpia in the city! The adobo chicken was delicious. Falls off the bone and every bite is full of flavor. Really enjoyed the Ube as well! Excellent friendly customer service!! Definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back.

Service was impeccable and portions were huge - giving you your money's worth. It reminds me of mom's home-cooked meals. Definitely, a taste of home in the Queen City.

Manila Grill is the best! Their food, and by that I mean all of their dishes and desserts that we tried were excellent in taste. Food portions were generous without sacrificing on the quality. Presentation was great, service was quick and the people who work there were so nice and accommodating- they are just the most awesome of people. Place was clean and gives a positive vibe. You have to visit Manila Grill! You won't regret it. Favorite order: Sisig, laing and turon.

The food was really good, we got the palabok and also the boodle fight box. The palabok didn’t disappoint and tasted good and savory. It’s what we expected. The fight box had so much food and filled all 3 of us up. It came with all the most popular/most sold dishes of Manila Grill. The customer service was amazing and everything came out at a reasonable time. We will definitely come back
The palabok wasn't good .. Its like eating sotanghon with just water.. The price of a medium bowl is $15.00÷÷÷. I'm so disappointed. We droved 3 hours just to try their food.. My first and last.
We had delicious food and delightful service from Manila Grill at Alley51! Good food and pleasant memories of The Philippines! God bless America and be sure to get your best dishes of adobo and kare-kare and yummy pancit! 👍😊
Parking: Very close parking lot to the circle of 12 food establishments, mostly Asian foods!
Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids can enjoy food and the game area!
This is the first and only family-owned authentic Filipino cuisine food hall in the Charlotte area whose menu serves variety Filipino dishes that's similar to your mother and grandmother's recipes back home. If you've never had Filipino cuisine, I would suggest start with chicken adobo (bone-in chicken marinated in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and bay leaves served with steamed Jasmine rice), pansit bihon (stir-fried noodles with chicken and vegetables), beef tapa (marinated beef strips) served with garlic rice. They have a new "boodle fight" box which you can get at a very reasonable price. Especially if you can't decide what to get - this is such a deal! The staff is very warm and friendly, their decor are pieces from Philippine history with a portrait of their national hero Jose Rizal. The mural created by a family member and was inspired by their hometown in Manila which is the capital of the Philippines. Their prices are fair. Their dishes are cooked fresh daily using locally-sourced ingredients. Highly recommended so please visit them at Alley 51 next to Super G mart in Pineville to get your Filipino food fix! Mabuhay 🇵🇭

I recently dined at Manila Grill and had an amazing experience! I ordered Kare-Kare, Fried Bangus, and BBQ Skewers, and every dish exceeded my expectations.
The Kare-Kare was rich and flavorful, especially with the delicious peanut sauce. The Fried Bangus was perfectly crispy and seasoned just right, while the BBQ skewers had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, thanks to the incredible seasoning.
Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was impressively fast and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also very inviting, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for delicious Filipino food with great service and ambiance!
