TAGUM CITY — A new fried chicken destination has opened along Buaya Road in Barangay Apokon, giving Tagumenos another budget-friendly option for hearty meals. Fried Chicken Station, known as FCS, officially welcomed customers on September 18, 2026, and has since become a go-to spot for crispy chicken, burgers, and quick snacks.
A Welcome Addition to Tagum's Food Scene
FCS sits in Purok 1B, fronting STI College and just behind the City Corner building on the way to Tagum City Hall. Its accessible location makes it convenient for students, office workers, and families looking for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.
The opening reflects the continued growth of Tagum's food landscape, where new businesses keep sprouting to serve a growing population. For residents, more choices mean better value and greater variety. FCS positions itself as a friendly neighborhood spot where comfort food meets affordability.
Crispy Chicken at the Core
The restaurant's flagship offering is its fried chicken, which comes in several value-packed options. Solo diners can enjoy a one-piece chicken with gravy for just ₱55, with an option to make it spicy for an additional ₱5. Those wanting a fuller meal can choose combos that include rice and drinks.
For bigger appetites, FCS offers buckets designed for sharing. The Bucket A includes eleven pieces of chicken with gravy, while Bucket B offers nine pieces and Bucket C provides six. These family-sized portions are ideal for barkada gatherings, weekend bonding, and celebrations at home.
More Than Just Chicken
FCS rounds out its menu with a variety of snacks and meals that appeal to different cravings. The Double Stacker Burger and Crispy Strips Burger offer hearty options for burger lovers. Chicken wraps and chicken finger meals provide lighter alternatives for those wanting something quick and portable.
The restaurant also serves regular and large fries, cheesy chicken overload, and chicken with fries. Rice and gravy are available as add-ons, allowing customers to customize their orders. These offerings make FCS suitable for quick lunches, afternoon snacks, or late-night cravings.
Affordable Meals for Every Budget
One of FCS's strongest selling points is its pricing. Solo meals start at ₱55, while combo meals range from ₱70 to ₱135. Family feasts, including the Value Bucket with ten pieces of chicken, five regular fries, and five crispy strips burgers, are priced at ₱879.
These rates make the restaurant accessible to students, employees, and families seeking value for money. In a city where dining options continue to expand, FCS competes by keeping prices reasonable while maintaining generous portions. It is a strategy that resonates with budget-conscious consumers.

The opening of FCS adds to Tagum's reputation as a rising culinary destination in Davao del Norte. The city has seen a steady influx of new restaurants, cafes, and food spots catering to diverse tastes. This growth supports local employment and stimulates economic activity.
