CheckPoint Food Camiguin — Restaurant in Mambajao

Wow, what a shame. I came here in 2022 and had a wonderful evening. I came back in 2025 and was left really disappointed.

We ordered the beef steak, Buffalo wings and Kinilaw.

When the food arrived, only the beef steak and Buffalo wings arrived and they said the kinilaw would come.

25 minutes after we decided to leave as the kinilaw just did not come.

To add insult to injury, another table who ordered after us (a large party) were getting served kinilaw.

When we went to pay I did try to complain but the waiter had nothing but a smug face on her and we didn’t even get an apology.

What happened here guys? You really let yourself down.

The waiters looked like they just did not want to be there and uninterested in anything.

We walked past your restaurant the past 4 nights before and there was not a person in there. We went tonight when there were a few and it seems like you can’t handle the smallest amount of pressure.

You need to do better or you will soon be the restaurant...

This was a wonderful experience all the way through from start to finish. The calamares were FRESH, not frozen, with a nicely seasoned breading that had a little zing. It would have gone well with lots of different sauces, but the Filipino standard is a disappointing blend of ketchup and mayonnaise. We avoided the sauce and chowed those rings down quickly.

Their pizza was surprisingly fantastic. The crust was thin, very crisp, and the cheese was melted perfectly around the pepperoni and mushrooms. I did notice quickly that it was more of a beef pepperoni instead of the traditional pork, but it still tasted very good.

The people there were absolutely wonderful, helpful, and smiling the whole time with every customer. This is a great place you MUST check out if you're...

After a morning on White Island, we stopped by CheckPoint for lunch. This restaurant is located on the second floor and is open to the ocean breeze which felt AMAZING. Being able to eat outdoors is always one of my favorites.

The food was pretty good. We got lechon kawali appetizer which was probably the best thing we had here. I wanted beef kare kare but they didn't have any beef so I settled for seafood kare kare. It was OK, but not sure if seafood works well for it. My husband got the fried chicken. It was good but didn't have a lot of meat on it.

Service was actually decent. Very friendly waitresses.

Overall this is a good place to stop by especially after visiting White Island. And the price was...
