    Well I went into this place for breakfast last week , ordered a ham and cheese omelet ,

    It arrived pretty quickly and as I was halfway through eating it i was getting a terrible revolting taste ,
    I smelt the thing and realised the ham was rotten !!
    I then spent the next 5 minitues in the toilet vomiting !!!

    Using rotten ham in a omlet will not be getting me to ever return to this place , suggest the owner checks his stock of food, lucky I was sick immideatly as I could of had food poisoning from eating that if it had stayed in my stomach

    Get your act together thunder road

    Resto's, bars and more food and drink related venues on the South side of Dumaguete I rarely visit living North from Dumaguete.
    But a place that is using rotten ham in an omelet is good to know to avoid it as the black plague.

    I'm really surprised to hear this... my experience with the food at Thunder Road has been fantastic. The Filipino dishes in particular are always excellent... the best kinilaw, the best chicken sisig, and the best sinigang soup I've had anywhere. I am a huge fan of Thunder Road in general: great friendly staff, nice cold drinks, pleasant atmosphere, a clean CR, and a dartboard as well as a pool table... I love that place.

    I too am surprised this happened and wonder why if they had, taken this up with the owner and not on this forum? I know these owners and they would not take this lightly. Is there an alternative motive for bringing this up here? I wonder! I don't place any value in this person's review!

    I give credence to what Alesypalsy says for the simple reason that they have been around a long time and I can't recall them complaining about very much. They also didn't start this thread and I doubt there is any ulterior motive.

    Some of us are what restaurant business calls bad customers. They think good customers need to complain and let the business make it right. We bad customers reserve the right to just walk out and never go back, we aren't being paid to tell you how to fix your business. I don't go around badmouthing restaurants and I don't think Alesypalsy does either, but when the subject is brought up by someone else?

    Everybody is known by "somebody". Look at the news, everyone in it is known by somebody, whether the news is good or bad. Just because you know someone, doesn't mean something didn't happen. If anything, you have demonstrated that your opinion is suspect, because you "know" these owners.

    I have had a few mins experience running a bar/resto here in this area. One of the hardest things is inventory control (especially perishables). Thunder road is a new business being run by people who have lots of experience in this kind of venue. It's hard to keep fresh food and control how much and how long it will keep fresh, especially when you are developing a new menu and you don't know what will and won't sell.
    I am sure they have read these posts and have remedied the problem and feel very bad that a customer had a bad experience. As an owner it is nice when feedback (positive or negative) is brought to your attention then and there. But.... many don't and that's their prerogative and they should not be blamed for keeping it to themselves and using this (or any medium) to share an experience.
    I believe every body (and business) deserves a second chance and I hope the writer gives them one. There are too few good places to visit and lets try and support them all....

    It would be nice if negative reviews weren't taken personally. If you haven't had a negative experience at a place you haven't been there enough times or you simply overlooked it. It WILL happen at every single business, especially in the Philippines. Business owners (and their friends), can either learn from it and try to make changes or not.....whichever happens the person making the negative review should NOT be attacked for having a bad experience and reporting on it.

    If you don't want want any chance of your business getting a negative review then don't advertise it in a place that allows comments or reviews.

    I find your reply a bit insulting, do you really think I would eat somthing rotten and leave the place without bringing it to their attention first?
    They couldn't miss the fact I had a rotten meal as I spent 5 minitues in the CR throwing my stomach contents into the toilet bowl!

    They also said no charge for the meal , but I was with a very respectable friend of mine that insisted of paying for it, even though there was no way I was going to pay for the pleasure of being physically sick,

    I have no axe to grind and the reason I posted here was because I think any business that advertises here needs to know that I got served garbage, the boss/owner was not on site when this happened and I am sure you have brought them up to date ,

    As far as my reviews go, I have in the past had fantastic meals and should have posted about them, my finest meals being had in gerrys on the beach shame it's now gone, la fiesta always a d*mn good feed to name but a few ,

    As far as this goes I won't feel any need not to post because you seem to think it should be kept private , I will always post negative or positive and not feel cornered into saying what is true!

    I will be doing a couple more reviews when I get to my pc as I find it harder to use my cell phone to reply

    Take it as you see it
