Cube-o-Grill - Bacnaton

My family and I were seated at the center table in the restaurant, and there was a group of people near the bar. A woman approached us and offered to take a photo for us. We later discovered that she was one of the owners of Cube-O-Grill. I highly recommend this place for its simplicity. I especially enjoyed the local house presentation, with bamboo, nipa hut, and windows made of shells. The ambiance was fantastic, and the mini bar had an authentic Filipino design. The food was excellent, and the in-house tea was unbelievably refreshing. We will definitely be back again.

We stumbled upon this charming restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the food was. We tried the Grilled Tuna Panga, Pork Barbecue, Sinigang, among other dishes, and were extremely satisfied with the flavors. Every time we drive by Cube-o Grill, we make sure to stop and get some take-out. This restaurant is a must-visit when in La Union.

It was 6:40 pm on December 30, a holiday and it was early evening, but everything we ordered were "not available" so we settled for what was "available," after one full hour, our orders had not arrived on our table. We decided to walk out! Still hungry and angry!!! We looked for another place to eat, a place who respected our time and right as customers.

It was 4:00 PM, rainy day and we were the only customers in the restaurant. The decoration is folksy Filipino style. The lighting is sufficient. The menu is in Tagalog with a splattering of English. We ordered a pitcher of iconic ice tea, bbq catfish, their popular baby back ribs and pinakbet (mixed vegetables). The waitress mistakenly gave us 1 glass of ice tea. We had to remind her we ordered a pitcher of ice tea. They made the correction and brought out a pitcher of ice tea, but she failed to bring us any glasses. We had to ask for glasses. The special ice tea had little hint of being tea based. It was more like a Sangria sans alcohol. The base is lychee, diced fruit and a hint of salted plums. It was good. The catfish, ribs and vegetables were good. The ribs had a sweet sauce with buttered diced mixed vegetables. Quite good. The kitchen is located in a separate building from the dining room. It's located behind the parking stalls. I was concerned the raindrops would disrupt the taste of the food, but the waiter carried an umbrella in his other hand.The decor and food was good. There is parking, but I didn't see any security guard. Access is by private car, bus, jeepney (elongated taxi) or trike (taxi). I recommend this restaurant if you want nice ambiance and good Filipino food however they need to improve their service.

We decided to have lunch while waiting for a room to be available from the resort. We went to look for this restaurant based on the online reviews. Due to the rainy weather, there were not much patrons. Waiting time for the grilled meat was around 25 minutes. They already served the rice and vegetables prior. So we were half thru when the meat arrived. It was just ok.
