Due to many customers we weren't accomodated right away. the food quality is good but the sinigang is bland not the asim kilig type. but the other food is really delicious and worth the price. the restroom is very clean and fragrant. the staff is...MoreThank you for the good review.

The 1st visit I had was January 2010. I and my hubby visited this place because it is new and we are intrigue what kind of food they serve. The resto is interesting, there were no customers so we are urge to come and feel what they can offer.
The staff is friendly but seems confused on what we ordered. He actually asked us if it's okay to change our order bec. he technically gave us the wrong food listed on our order list and that pissed me off. My husband whispered "honey that's okay", actually I lost my appetite.
The price are bit expensive, meals were range to 220 up and salad kind is 150up as I recall. The plate is big size and full, literally I can't finish all but I had doggy bag. With the 2 meals, 2 drinks and a salad cost us 800php plus. The food is okay, but not quite amazing. The ambiance is boring, maybe it's the reason why there were no customers.
My 2nd visit was July 2009 with a friend. She invited me to have a snack and stay for a internet session. The staff is friendly and helped us to plugin our laptop. Their wifi net connection is very slow. If you have a business meeting and presentation that requires you to surf and browse, bring your own internet kit so not to ruin your day. After our Todd's burger snack (it's great burger btw.) we moved to another resto with fast wifi connection.
I am not a fan of Todd's but if someone invited me in then I will go.

For me the staff make it a lovely place. They have always been attentive, helpful and friendly. Yes you can eat for less in the eateries nearby for a change but we enjoyed the food at Maxine's.

Open @ 11 am. Service was good. Crispy Hito was a real champion. Price is affordable. Good the aircon was comforting the cool ambiance despite desert hot outside the place.

Pigar-Pigar is Pangasinansee term means “Turning Over” that refers to the process of cooking which requires constant turning over of meat while deep-frying. This is also one of the popular delicacy of Dagupan made of thin slices carabao’s meat seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, served with vegetables...

If you happen to visit Dagupan City by chance, whether for business or leisure, eating pigar-pigar, or Dagpuan's version of braised/sauteed beef, is a must-try! Of all the food joints located in the city center, Great Taste Fastfood and Pigar-Pigar serves the best of its kind!
The meat is perfectly cooked, and one won't mind the 10-15 minutes preparation time because the end product is something that will make the wait worth it! Above all, the price is reasonable - for just PHP100.00, you will get a complete viand that consists not just beef (1/4 kilos), but also the vegetables such as onions, cabbage, and cauliflower - all sauteed perfectly in the beef's own fat! The only bummer is having to drain the oil off the cooked dish, but I won't mind it at all.
Ambiance-wise, I won't mind if I were to eat beside the street, but their indoor dining area is something that's worth it compared to the other food joints in the area.
I will definitely visit the place again soon, this time with my girlfriend, and will be recommending this to my friends!

To enjoy, take the river cruise. It is like the bohol river cruise without the singing people on the shore banks. this made it less tourist trap and more nice. the food is good and ok. not memorable but ok.

We've traveled a long way just to hear mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Manaoag, and after spending a couple of hours praying we decided to look for a restaurant that specializes in Native or Filipino cuisine. We were given instructions on how to get here and truly it was a really nice and big garden restaurant with lots of huts where you can have your lunch and get a little privacy too.
We ordered two kinds of Sinigang, bangus and hipon because we were told that seafood was their specialty. Also got calamari, relyenong bangus, grilled liempo and pork sisig. We actually finished everything since the food was done perfectly for me. No wonder people come here after hearing mass. Truly a delight!

We like the native dishes especially pigar-pigar, pinakbet and oyster. Our group of senior citizens and kids enjoyed the view. It just gets kind of hot when you're dining in the huts. If you can order in advance before you call everyone to meal, do so. Also, watch your steps especially the kids and oldies.
9. Starbucks

In a departure from its usual green motif, this branch of the coffee chain is colored red. I suppose to align itself with the rest of the Metro Plaza complex.
Certainly a place to hang out, if you can brave the "fishy smell" wafting from the public market,
The place is not crowded with a variety of Seating arrangements e.g. high chairs.
The Starbucks coffee quality is a tad below its competitors though.

Me and my husband ordered their small meat bilao (PHP800) and a halo-halo (PHP150/order). We ordered the bilao since it would cost less than having single orders. Food was delicious but I think it's a bit pricey. The restaurant ambience is very good and well kept. Will definitely dine in here again in our next visit to Bolinao.
