Snack Shack @ Sikatuna Village

Snack Shack is a burger place located at Sikatuna Village. Our friend recommended it and he said it is the best burger in town. And so, we and my gang drove and went there to try the "Best Burger". When we arrived, we were a bit shocked because the joint was smaller than what we have expected. And there's no alotted parking space for customers. But even if there were like a few expectations that were not met, we entered and had our burgers.

Inside the store was a cashier, a little kitchen, and a place for dine in customers. The cashier was just composed of a cash register and a staff. The kitchen is where the other staffs are working. It is where they prepare and cook the burgers. There was a long table attached to the wall and around five high chairs for the customers. If there is one lacking element in the store is that there is no air conditioners, so it was hot and the fact that the joint is near a main road, the heat from cars also contribute to the temperature. The brighter side of having a small joint is that customers can see how their orders are being made. It can be an advantage because customers want to make sure that what they buy is properly and cleanly prepared. Another thing is that, it excited the customers when they show how they do such burgers.

   

As for the staffs, there were four of them working. I can say that the distribution of task was great. They were able to maximize their man power. One serves as a cashier person, she asks for your order, accept your payment and give you change if needed. The next one prepares the patty for the burgers, yes, they don't use patties that are ready to cook that we see in supermarkets. The other one cooks that patties and the last one finishes the preparation of burgers and he also calls out orders. I also observed that they follow the food handling procedures. All of them wore hairnets and aprons. No one of them have long nails and untidy uniform. This just shows that they want to serve not just the burger but also a well-prepared one. 

They only offer quarter-pound (70php) and half-pound burgers. (100php) But the catch is the add-ons and this includes cream cheese, blue cheese, jalapeno, onions and more. They also sell drinks like soda, bottled water and fruit drink. And to tell you, the prices are affordable. In one order, the total price would range between 100-200php only. Students can surely afford these burgers and it can surely make a hungry student full. That's based on our experience. Hahaha

The wait took about 15-20 minutes. When the staff called out our orders, we tried our burgers right away. It was indeed the best burger i ever tried. The meat tastes fresh and authentic, the bun also tastes fresh. We had some add-ons and those add-ons surely added more flavor and great taste to the burger. It's worth the wait and worth the price!

Keep wandering, wonderers!!
