Old-school butcher shop origins
The store started as a butcher shop which is apparent by the look of the place. It has an old-school butcher shop feel with only a few tables inside and outside for eating. Eventually Amboy started serving burgers as well, so the name was extended even further into Amboy Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers.
The restaurant was started by YouTube famous burger pro, Alvin Cailan. He grew to fame as the host of First We Feast’s YouTube hit, The Burger Show, so he knows a thing or two about good burgers. The restaurant’s name, Amboy, is short for “American boy” which is what Alvin’s Filipina grandmother used to call him.
