There is often a fifteen to twenty-minute wait whenever you order one of these babies, but it is worth it. The meat is very tender and tears cleanly off the bone. The taste is smoky, sweet, salty and tangy all at the same time. It\u2019s also more lean meat than fat, which makes it such a joy to nibble.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8792\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/restaurant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/05\/Midway-Grill-3.jpg\" alt=\"KJKJ\u00fd\u00ce\" width=\"850\" height=\"558\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt\">Baby Back Ribs (P199)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Breakfast lovers will enjoy <strong>The Midway Slam<\/strong> (P175), which consists of two large, thick pancakes with butter and light syrup, two eggs, and a choice of any two meats from ham, bacon or sausages.
