Hi everyone, it’s Mery!

Today, let me take you to a local favorite that's just a short walk from our Skyviewhome units here in Cebu IT Park — Yakskie's Barbecue.

This humble place has won the hearts of locals, workers, and visitors alike with its smoky skewers, legendary sauces, and affordable prices. If you're looking for something truly Cebuano, this is a must-visit!

🍢 A BBQ Loved by All – From Locals to Travelers

Yakskie's has been around for years — a go-to spot for quick meals after work or laid-back dinners with friends. Many visitors even call it a "hidden BBQ paradise." Why? Because the taste is consistent, the price is budget-friendly, and the atmosphere is casual and local.

You’ll often find office workers, families, and even foreigners enjoying the sizzling skewers and signature sauces here. It’s not just food — it’s an experience.

🌶️ Spicy or Original? The Sauce Makes the Difference

One thing you’ll notice right away — the staff might ask: “Original or Spicy?”

It’s even written on their hats!

Yakskie's BBQ comes with two kinds of sauces:

Original: Sweet and mild — a hit with kids and first-timers.
Spicy: Bold and flavorful — many locals prefer this one!

You can dip or pour, but either way, it brings the BBQ to life. And here’s a tip: the spicy sauce goes really well with pork skewers, while the original works great with chicken.

💰 Big Taste, Small Price

One of the biggest reasons people love Yakskie's? The price!For just a few pesos per skewer, you can enjoy a full meal. Many say it’s “the best barbecue for the price” in Cebu IT Park.

You don’t need a fancy place to have great food — and Yakskie's proves that every day.

🪑 A Simple Setup That Feels Just Right

Yakskie’s doesn’t try to be fancy. It’s simple — concrete walls, gravel floor, plastic chairs. Some even say it feels like a “converted garage.” But it’s clean, the grill area has good ventilation, and the restroom is neat.

The focus? Good food and fast service. And honestly, that’s all you need sometimes.
