8 Cuts Burger Blends

I was with my college friends when I first tried this newly opened branch of 8 Cuts Burger Blends. With all honesty, I am not into burgers. The last time I had visited a burger joint was ages ago... the Burger Project and had sinfully delicious experience, by the way.

Living up their #MEAT OUR BLENDS tagline, the difference of this burger joint among others is that you can combine the 8 pure U.S. beef cuts depending on your choice which are Chuck, Rib Eye, Short Rib, Sirloin, Brisket, Hanger, Flank and Oxtail.

Their kitchen station works in an assembly line fashion. It  begins with the (1)THE GRIND, cuts of meat into grinding machine, blended with other cuts, and seasoned; (2)THE PRESS, hand pressed to form into a patty; (3)THE GRIDDLE, grilled according to your preference then to; (4)THE BUILD STATION, wherein the meat along with the condiments and sauces of your choice are assembled.

As for their menu, you can check it here: 8 Cuts Burger Blends. 


So, here's our experience and what we had:

Onion Rings

(Php 65)

I definitely loved their Onion Rings, no wonder this is one of the favorites! Best eaten as it is, crispy and flavorful seasoned with BBQ powder.

Piggy

Quarter-pounder BEEF BOMB BLEND patty of the chuck and short rib with mozzarella, friend bacon strips, house- made bacon jam, lollo rossa, tomatoes, garlic aioli all on a Sesame Seed Bun

(Single Patty Php 245 / Double Patty Php 345)

Rising Shroom

Mustard-fried quarter-pounder STEAK CUT BLEND patty of sirloin and chuck with fried oyster mushroom tempure, white truffle creamed cheese and sauteed mushrooms all on a Kaiser Roll  
(Single Patty Php 280 / Double Patty Php 375)

Hangover

Onion-griddled quarter-pounder BIG GAME BLEND patty of hanger and brisket with yellow mustard, crisp prosciutto, fried egg, arugula, sweetly spiced BBQ sauce and house aioli on a Sesame Seed Bun

(Single Patty Php 285 / Double Patty Php 370)

PROS:

• Unique blends of juicy patties.
• Love their Onion Rings.
• I like the idea where you can download their application, play a song of your choice and simultaneously hear it being played at the restaurant.
• The staffs were very attentive and made sure that you will have a satisfying 8 Cuts experience. 

CONS:

• I may have expected too much on their burgers. Truth be told, my friends and I found nothing extraordinary with the taste. 
• Pricey and not sure if it's worth it.

THE VERDICT: ★ ★ 

I'll be giving this restaurants 2 stars. Even we are not able to try most of the burger favorites, the experience on one (Rising Shroom) of their bestsellers somehow already reflected on how the rest would made feel us too. I hate to say this but I do not think my friends and I will go back here anymore or... maybe... maybe I'll give it another chance and for their onion rings.
