The Davao Experience: Lyndon's World's Worst Ribs and Awful Chicken

This is the eighth part of our 4-days-3-nights Davao Experience.

I forgot to mention that our 2nd day in Davao marks my birthday haha. So for dinner we decided to eat at the famous, much-talked about Lyndon's World's Worst Ribs and Awful Chicken. When we were researching places to eat on other blogs, a lot of them featured this restaurant. It caught our attention because of the name. It takes guts to name a restaurant like that and make people come in and try their food and come out feeling very very satisfied.

From SaSa Wharf we got into a jeepney (I am so sorry but I forgot what the sign board said) which costs 15 php/person. There are several branches of Lyndon's all around Davao. We accidentally ended up in their Lanang Branch which is just a walk away from SM Lanang (we were supposed to go to there JP Laurel branch and we have NO idea how we got here haha). Apparently, this was a new store and we were the only ones there.

The Interesting, Unique, and Funny Menu


We ordered 550g of the World's Worst Ribs, a quarter of the Lyla's Awful Chicken, 400g of Tadyang ni Ruby, Tasteless Pansit, and Papaitan. Yes, we were hungry. One thing you can say about the food, it's the complete opposite of the restaurant's name. The ribs is probably the best ribs I have ever tasted and rivals the one in Rack's. It has a sweet barbeque sauce (not overpoweringly sweet) and the meat is just so soft. It literally falls off of the bones. It was amazing! The chicken was also very tasty as well as the Tadyang ni Ruby (which is technically lechon kawali). The tasteless pansit is not tasteless, in fact it was so big we even had leftovers. It was brimming with vegetables and it was very yummy. The one thing we didn't like was the papaitan but the rest was superb! I would have eaten in here every night if my companions allowed it (but they didn't so..). Our total bill was 900plus php which was not bad for 4 people with huge appetite. If you are going to Davao, definitely stop by at this place and try their food. You would miss half of your life if you didn't, no kidding!

It should have been named World's Best Ribs

"Tasteless" (but super tasty) Pansit


So with a happy, bulging tummy we set off to find a coffee place. We saw one nearby named New Orleans Cafe. I ordered the Bailey's Coffee, which costs 120php, but it wasn't that good. It does taste like the alcohol Bailey's but it lacks the taste of coffee. They have a variety of food, not just deserts and coffee, but even main courses. We wanted to try their cakes but we were just too full from the ribs attacking that we did. After that we hailed a taxi to take us back to Ponce Suites for a much-deserved rest.
