Shakeys

Shakeys has been our family's traditional way of celebrating achievements: birthdays, graduations, promotions, honors, hitting the quota and even simple ones like passing examinations. As I can observe, the same holds true for other families and customers of Shakeys. It has even been a venue for receptions of baptisms and weddings. I have once wondered why people celebrate at Shakeys and I thought that given its expensive prices in the menu, people could not dine there everyday or regularly like what they do with other fast food restaurants such as Mcdonalds or Jollibee however, we cannot deny the fact that they serve one of the finest and most delicious pizza, pasta and many more making people crave for it especially when there is a special event in their lives. I, personally, am a fan of Shakeys. When mom and dad first brought me there, I was impressed with the service and delighted with the food. Since then, I declared Shakeys as my favorite restaurant and It has always been our option whenever we are looking for somewhere to eat.
My favorite food in Shakeys is its creamy mushroom soup. I am a fan of soups especially mushroom soups. I've tried it at other restaurants but only Shakeys got my taste. I don't know what ingredients they put on it because it's consistency is thick but the overall blend is superb especially when serve it really hot. It makes me order another bowl. I think I can even consume three. Sometimes, when we go to Shakeys and creamy mushroom soup is not available, I will not go there at all because even though I love the food, the experience is not complete without the soup because when we go to Shakeys, we order the full meal, from soup to main dish to dessert. We do not usually order rice because the pasta and the pizza are already heavy for our tummy but even though we are full, we will still order an icecream cookie with cheries on top. We share it as a family. I also love its finger food: chicken, mojos and calamari. They all taste good. Maybe that's another thing that we look for in Shakeys, the variety of food. It's hard to find a restaurant that will serve a full meal which also includes snack, soup and salad. Another important thing is their service, the service crew in Shakeys are friendly and accommodating. They will give you the perfect seat that you want and they will come from time to time to check if all orders were delivered or if you have additional orders. One commendable Shakeys branch is its new branch in Cainta.
Before, we used to go to a mall just to dine in a Shakeys branch but now that there is a newly opened branch in Cainta, we decided to take a drive there. One thing I admired about the restaurant is the hospitality and good customer service of the staff. From the entrance door to our table to our orders up to the billing and payment, we were accommodated well. We were actually seated at a wooden chair then the crew went to us and asked if we would like to transfer to the couch because they will be willing to move us there for us to be more comfortable. The crew was really patient with us even if I was quite not attentive when we ordered because I was watching the basketball game on their television. She was also friendly to us and attended to our requests politely. Especially when dad asked her to serve the soup fast and when the order came, dad asked to heat the soup again because it was not that hot. The service was fast there, unlike in other branches, we did not wait too long. At the end of the day, we were able to happily celebrate. The food and services we paid for were worth it.
However, like any other restaurants, if there are too many people, services become poor: failing to accommodate and satisfy everyone.  Nevertheless, It would be good for Shakeys to add promotions and cater to special events.
