Acacia De Bubu — Restaurant in Tagbilaran

Power Tripping- My family and I have been both take-out and dine-in customers since before the pandemic. I remember going here almost every Friday after swimming class to eat, and I was very excited every time. Despite being packed with customers no altercations ever happened. But today I've experienced the worst customer WHO CLAIMED TO BE A RELATIVE OF THE OWNER.

It started when this group of ladies arrived. They soon started to pick up food when I noticed that her companion was holding the thong in her right hand and using her left hand to pick up the food. So deep inside I was like what's the use for the thong when clearly she isn't using it to pick up the foods right? Before stepping in to ask her, I observed for a few minutes. Yet she hasn't let go of the thong still despite some customers also waiting to use it. So I stepped forward and asked her what method she preferred to use: Her hand or the thong when picking her preferred food cause some were waiting in a queue for that thong to be used to pick up the pork chop. (Only one thong was provided by the management) cause the rest of the choices were on a stick already. She replied in a cool tone with a "na rattle naman gud ko maam" which was understandable cause she clearly was "na rattle". But her friend "the cousin of the owner" butt in with a contraindicating voice that started the argument. She told us to wait when in fact no one pressured them to fasten.

At the counter, I told my mom that I spoke up cause it seemed like they were hoarding the thong and that it would be insensitive to do that. This lady AGAIN butt in and said strongly MAGHULAT MO KAY IGAGAW NAKO NING TAG IYA! That was the time my Mom had enough of it, she spoke and said "So ig-agaway na diay ni".

This lady came out boastful and rude and at that moment I was ready to fight back with an "AND SO?" but thankfully her friend and the person in charge at the counter were very kind enough to be the ones asking for apology on how that lady who unrelatedly boasted that she is the owner's cousin.

Therefore, I would recommend that Acacia de Bubu add more thongs so this situation does not happen again and hopefully, this to reach the owner of the business since I was clearly disappointed with how his/her relative pleasantly used the power of blood relationship as a way to trip customers and be powerful in your establishment. For that reason, I considered it Power Tripping.

Food-wise, Acacia de Bubu has maintained its flavour quality which made us come...

The sauce was sumptuous, as always! I've been there twice and definitely will come back when I'll visit again Bohol (for the nth time). They offer a wide selection of Filipino barbecue favorites which include the chicken thigh (paa), chicken breast, isaw (tinae), "atay" and "batikon", pork belly, and the like. What makes the barbecue experience all the more special is the house sauce which brings a burst of pleasant flavors in the mouth. (My mouth waters as I am writing this review, haha). Two thumbs-up for this place!

PS. Singers (carolers) will often come by to ask for donations, but how could you not give when they sing so beautifully? (The harmony and...

Very slow service. Seems short-staffed (3 Manning barbecue station, only 4-5 servers who duplicate as busboys) for a venue that can seat at least 100. They don't even set the table until the food is ready so some tables got the food then had to wait more in order for the plates and utensils in order to actually...
