SnackBox Surigao — Restaurant in Surigao del Norte

Great Improvement in Quality and Service The place is relatively new. It is basically a hole in a wall. It is cozy, fully air-conditioned, LCD with occasional local tv shows, has free wifi and charging outlets. This place is neat and clean compared to dirty and flies infested cheap silog stores we have been. We are backpackers so we really scout for good but clean and affordable places to eat aside from fast food. We also found it thru the recommendation of Cebu Pacific magazine while we were on our way to Surigao. They tagged their store as "FOR BUDGETARIANS" and really the prices are affordable for the quality. A meal with a drink would only cost 50-100pesos. We went there during lunch time and the store was packed with students and workers. Food and service are satisfying. It offers all-day breakfast like silogs (huge serving of fried rice with peas and carrots, choice of meat, and fried egg), burgers, shakes, chips, ice creams and barbeque at night. Nothing fancy or special but you get what you paid for. So do not expect it to be fancy and superior service like restaurants.

The first time we went there, I gave the food taste 3 score, but when we came back again, their quality really improved. Now i can rate it 5. I love the potato twist (whole potato twisted on a stick), dynamite (chili with cheese and ham wrapped in a lumpia wrapper, i guess this is their best seller since it is always sold out), milkshakes and burgers. And unlimited brewed coffee for only 50pesos. We were full and only spared small amount of peso. Haha. The staff also are really accommodating and friendly. They encouraged customers to return their orders if it happens to be unsatisfactory and they will gladly exchange it with apologetic gestures. I like the idea that they listen to customers' advice and suggestions. We often leave suggestions to places we have been to so they can improve rather than automatically rate it low. Haha. I believe that is vital for any business.

Highly recommended to fellow backpackers on a tight budget like us! Will keep on...

A fair range of menu but most of them are fried. Good for people looking for budget-friendly food and quick bites. They have a clean rest room, decent place to eat but ventilation is not quite okay. The attendant sometimes shuts down the AC so you will feel like you are really in a box. Their barbecue in the evening is good and they rarely run out of chilli. It is a...

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...
