Payag Main Branch - Tagbilaran

One of my favorite places to go to growing up as a kid. Revisited when in the area again in 2018 and 2019 after a 17 year hiatus and it was so good to find the food was just as amazing as I remembered it being as a kid!

You can't deny how good the food was especially the chicken inasal but the pork barbecue was a different story. It was leathery meaning it wasn't fresh. The orders came after 30 minutes but still it was worth it if only for the chicken and the garlic rice

The first BBQ restaurant that I became loyal to. However, over the years, the size of their pork BBQ has shrank and the prices in the menu has increased significantly. In my last visit, there was no atchara and they could not give me chilli. It wasn’t the experience I was expecting like it was before. But on the brighter side, they still manage to maintain their BBQ basting recipe and the taste is still good.

One of the few original restaurants in the province that are opened way back in the day and are still standing—which is good. The age is showing within its interiors though, and the whole place is not as regularly crowded as before with competition sprouting everywhere. The familiarity of the place makes it comfortable, but it could definitely use a few improvements—from the paint on the walls, lighting, rest room fixtures, to overall aesthetics. It still uses plastic straws for its cold beverages. Food is fine and affordable, if you are simply looking for something that fills your appetite. We particularly loved the Sizzling Gambas and Crispy Crablets. Their Chicken Chicharon and Chicharon Bulaklak needed to be crispier because our order were slightly on the chewier side. Orders could take a long while to be served. There is no free WiFi here as well.

Expensive food, yet not a good place to eat. The only thing that taste nice is their Shake.
