Just a few Restaurant Reviews

by: Ray Vargas

Carl Patrick's, Montilla Blvd
The only reason Carl Patrick's stuck on my mind was because they were the only place that served pizza in Butuan City. I don't know if this is still the case. The pizza however was unique to say the least (crust with sumthin' like cheez whiz???). I also attended a function at their second floor party room last December 96. It seems to be a pretty clean place

Tita's Cafe , Burgos St and Zamora
Located half a block from Urios High School, Tita's was a favorite hangout during my high school days. They now have two outlets: the original place and the new Tita's Cafe right next to the new Urios High School building (where ACEA used to be). If you go to Tita's, the siopao and mami are what the regulars usually order.

Narra, Concepcion St
Narra Restaurant has been operating in Butuan as long as I can remember. And, all this time, it has always been one of the better restaurants in Butuan City. It is in downtown Butuan, right in front of the Urios Elementary school and St Joseph's Cathedral. Narra mainly serves chinese dishes.

Weegols Grillhaus, Montilla Blvd
I tried Weegols (by the City Hall) last December 1996. Weegols' specialty is in the barbecued meats. I had their bbq chicken and, though not the best I've had, it was still yum yum yum...They have a few outlets all over the city...

Jollibee, Corner Zamora and Montilla Blvd
Yes, Jollibee has finally arrived in Butuan. Butuanons seemed to like Jollibee's fare as the place was still packed when I stopped by last Dec 96. I ordered a regular burger, palabok, and fries. All were too salty and too oily for me...of course, your mileage may vary...i have some more scathing comments about their palabok in another article in this website.
