About this place
On Gov. J. Lopez Street in Gasan, Roger's Cafe and Grill is one of the easier-to-recommend stops for visitors wanting casual Filipino comfort food and grilled meals in a laid-back, hometown setting. The menu mixes everyday Filipino dishes with simple grill options, all priced for the kind of weeknight dinner where the appeal is the unfussy welcome rather than a long wait list.
What's Cooking
Roger's positions itself as a casual all-day spot:
- Filipino comfort food — the standard rotation - Grilled meals — the grill side of the operation - Snacks and drinks — the post-shift hangout vibe - Affordable pricing across the board
What Visitors Say
Sofia-Rys Sadiwa Fabunan's review distills the appeal in one line:
"Worth the price. Relaxing ang ambiance sa loob, masarap ang coffee, at mababait pa ang staff."
Three points she captures:
- Worth the price — fair value - Relaxing interior — comfortable enough to sit a while - Masarap ang coffee — surprisingly good coffee for a grill spot - Mababait ang staff — friendly service
That mix of fair price + comfortable space + kind staff is the small-town café formula at its most reliable.

That 10 AM – 10 PM daily is the universal Filipino casual-dining window — you can drop in for late breakfast, regular lunch, merienda, dinner, or post-dinner drinks without checking the schedule.
Where It Sits
Gov. J. Lopez Street is in the Gasan commercial district, walking distance from the Gasan Public Market, Monsan Brew, and the broader town walking circuit. For visitors doing a Gasan town day, Roger's is one of the natural stops in the rotation.
Why It Works
For travelers wanting a Gasan dinner without the resort price tag and without the unknown of a market eatery, Roger's Cafe and Grill is the comfortable middle. It's where the grill meets the coffee shop and both are reasonably priced. For a casual evening in town, this is one of the picks.
Best Time to Visit
Open year-round. Best to visit during mealtime rush for fresh supplies.
What to Bring
How to Get Here
From Boac Public Market, take a jeepney heading to Gasan. Inform the driver that you are going to Roger's Cafe and Grill. Keep an eye out for the Gasan town center as a landmark; it's a good reference point. Once you arrive in Gasan, you can take a tricycle to reach the cafe directly if it's not within walking distance. The cafe is situated near the main road, making it relatively easy to spot once you are in the area. If you are coming from Mogpog, you can also catch a jeepney to Gasan. Just let the driver know your destination, and they will drop you off at the town center, where you can then proceed to the cafe.
Local routes, fares, and ferry schedules can shift without notice — and travel times depend on weather, traffic, and tide. Confirm fares and timing with the driver or locals before you set out.

Worst restaurant in Gasan! Waited for almost 45mins in a non-peak hours not sure if their business can accommodate group orders. There's no sense of urgency with their Staff.
