Snackbox Surigao

What stood out to me was the cleanliness of the place, especially when compared to some of the dirtier, fly-infested Silog shops we've encountered. We're always on the lookout for affordable yet clean dining options, and we stumbled upon this gem on our way to Surigao, thanks to a recommendation from Cebu Pacific. They promote themselves as budget-friendly, and I can confirm that the prices are very reasonable for the quality offered. A meal, including a drink, costs between 50 to 100 pesos. During our lunchtime visit, the restaurant was bustling with students and workers. They have a daily breakfast menu featuring Silogs (which include fried rice with garlic and carrots, a choice of meat, and a fried egg), as well as burgers, shakes, chips, ice cream, and barbecues in the evening. While the offerings may not be extravagant, the value is undeniable; you get what you pay for. On our first visit, I would have rated the food a solid 3, but upon returning, I was pleasantly surprised to see significant improvements. Now, I would confidently give them a 5. My favorites include the potato twist (a whole potato twisted on a stick), dynanmit (a snack with cheese and ham wrapped in lumpia, which seems to be their bestseller as it's often sold out), milkshakes, and burgers. They also have unlimited coffee for just 50 pesos, which is a great deal. The staff is courteous and friendly, encouraging customers to return items if they are unsatisfactory and promptly replacing them with sincere apologies. I appreciate that they are open to customer feedback and suggestions for improvement, rather than simply writing them off. This approach is vital for any business. I highly recommend this place for budget travelers like us, and I look forward to coming back!

The frappe was absolutely delicious, and the waitress was incredibly pleasant to us. We had a great time! Plus, we appreciated the sticky notes you gave us—so funny!

The menu offers a decent variety, but most items are fried. It's a good spot for those seeking affordable and quick meals. The restroom is clean, and the dining area is decent, but the ventilation could be improved; at times, the air conditioning is turned off, making it feel a bit stuffy. However, their evening grill is quite good, and they almost never run out of chili, which is a definite plus for me.

Food are nice, the place is great too but its small to accomodate a lot of clients... Overall its nice to eat there, specially with friends and love ones....

Budget meals. Good buyad. Ideal for back packers, students, and people who want to try unique places in Surigao. The place is not that easy to locate for non-locals at least.
