ITS WORTH THE WAIT. everything is made fresh to order. Expect the wait but it's well deserved. Everything was so flavorful and delicious, it felt very home made. The menu is very simple, which makes the quality taste that much better. The ambiance feels so comfortable. Even if you're unsure of what the food is, the staff patiently tells you what it is and how it would taste like. Coming here from Beaumont, I would definitely come back. The staff is working so hard and you can tell they're trying their best. 10/10 would come back again. read more

THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD Salmon Belly was 10/10 favorite! Staff was friendly and amazing. We love to see more representation in the filipino community and it's important to support these businesses! read more

Tried this place from yelp review. It was a small quaint Filipino restaurant. Came a little late so lunch special are almost gone. Tried the chop suey and pork/chicken adobo. They are tasty. Ordered lechon kawali but it took a while for them to get it prep. We were finished eating before they were done. Took it home, and they are tasty too. Not bad, maybe will try the lunch special next time read more

I gave them 3 star's last review. Now, 5 stars I come here or at least order my food 2 to 3 times a week now. Service is so much better Staff has been very friendly and accommodating. Everything i order is delicious, and i think it's fairly priced. It's better you call ahead for your order to avoid waiting long. They say 20 to 30 mins wait buts its really shorter than that. read more

Papababes Kitchen - Pork liempo meal - Filipino Near Me - Fontana, California

Have come here a couple of times and usually do not have any issues calling ahead and coming to pick up to avoid wait times since they make the food fresh. I was really disappointed today as I called ahead and placed an order of 35 Lumpia's to pickup at 5pm to take for a baseball watch party which I had done countless of times before. When I arrived to pickup my order the girl at the cashier told me that because I ordered "early" and didn't pick it up that the Lumpia got soggy and they gave it away and I would have to wait for them to make more. I advised the girl that I had specifically told them that I was going to pick up at 5pm so they didn't make the lumpia earlier and the girl asked me if I was sure and if I had ever even been there before. I told her that I had (which idk what that had to do with anything) and she even checked the notes of my order and apologized for the mistake and that they would make a new order right away and charged me for the order as they did not relay the information for pickup to the cook. Initially I told her not to worry about it as I understand that things happen and understand that lumpia needs to be made fresh. She had my order out in a timely manner and because I was already late to my event because of my order not being ready I didn't check my order once she handed it to me and just left. Now upon arriving to my event she gave me a completely wrong order with things that I did not order and only 10 still SOGGY pieces of lumpia. I am severely disappointed with the lack of carelessness of service that I received today, especially from a place that is usually top notch. read more

I was happy to see a third Filipino establishment at this location where Kalahi Bakery and Tony's BBQ, both successful in West Covina, used to be. The place has a couple of tables, a walk up counter where the kitchen is visible from. It's nice and clean. I called in my order and was happy to find my order was ready as promised! I ordered several items on the menu to try. The large crispy pata at $18 was my primary interest. It was pretty hefty which included the trotter. This was tender and tasty and came with a type of sweet dipping sauce. I didn't get the crackling crisp I was looking for but the skin was crispy enough - the dipping sauce was original but I had hankering for the usual vinegar and Mang Tomas. The liempo at $15/lb was beautiful and delicious, though on the sweet side more so than savory. The chicken inasal meal at $11.25 was good and savory and came with good atsara. The grilled salmon belly meal at $13.50 was pretty substantial and taste was okay. I would've loved for it to be more salty than sweet. I'm not a big fan of sweet ulam. The yellow rice that came with the meals, though visually attractive, was tasteless and hard. The halo-halo at &7.50 was ok, no leche flan. My son finished it! The saba con hielo at $6.50 was ok but the only flavor you get is from the saba. I was expecting this to be saba, yellow arnival and shaved ice. I got Saba, milk and shaved ice with a sprinkling of pinipig. My mouth was disappointed. Will I recommend this place? Absolutely! I want this place to thrive. The staff I encountered, Shannon, was super pleasant and friendly, unlike my experience when it was Tony's when I went for the first and final visit and the staff made me feel like they can't wait to get rid of me. A big shame because their dishes that I tasted were amazing and flavors were unforgettable. read more

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon Tony's BBQ with a colleague of mine and we stopped in for a bite to eat. I got the barbecue chicken plate with rice and it was pretty amazing! The cashier/cook Oliver was super nice, patient and knowledgeable. He also provided us with a complimentary soup of the day but I apologize I can't remember what it was called. All in all we had a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend this neighborhood gem. read more

First time here so no opinion as of yet. It's clean and roomy. Menu is set with option for party trays

Legit sisig meal! It was FIRE It's the real stuff(pig head meat). It was fresh and delicious. I love that it's made to order. My hubby got pork and chicken on a stick, that was freshly done and scrumptious. Thank you for opening in Fontana, we don't have to drive too far for really great Filipino cuisine. read more

Was there August 19, still soft opening. Bibingka was and it did not spend any more time in the container when I got home. Will have to go back when they properly open so I can score some more. Ordered the pork bbq sticks and I can honestly say that they are on par if not better than Manila Sunset. The squid was also grilled to perfection! Great location especially since there are no Filipino restaurants in Fontana and one has to drive to Rancho Cucamonga to get to the closest one. The staff I've encountered, Omar and Francesca, were gracious enough to answer all of my silly questions. As far as ambiance, they are still soft opening so I can only expect it to get better. All in all, great food, great service, standard ambiance. I can't wait till they fully open! read more

Everything in the menu is delicious, excellent customer service, friendly and very accommodating, overall superb

Ordered to go today at this amazing Filipino restaurant, the food was absolutely delicious. The sisig was perfectly crispy and flavorful, the BBQ was tender and juicy, and the chicken inasal was incredibly savory with just the right hint of smokiness. Each dish felt like a comforting taste of home. The cashier was very friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. Super sweet lady, my receipt says her name is Madel. If you're craving authentic Filipino cuisine, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

We ordered the bibingka to go. Like previous reviewers, the wait was worth it. We waited in one of the booths inside. The store seemed to still be in transition although the steady stream of customers contradicted that notion. read more

Some of the best Filipino BBQ you can get , and having a location closer than corona or West Covina is something I'm happy about.

I had been waiting forever for this place to open and today I was able to swing by and pick up a pork barbecue meal and some pancit. The pork was fresh and juicy and the marinade literally felt like my Tito made it. So delicious!! And then the pancit!! The pancit was LEGIT. I would devour a whole tray of that. Next time I'm coming back to grab some beef caldereta and lechon read more

Order anything, and you'll be satisfied! You can't go wrong with any order from this place! Highly recommend! Worth the drive!

Good filipino bbq. However, it seems they always run out of bibingka when I want it. Also, their service is a bit lacking. They always seem stressed out with not enough coverage. read more

Had the Chicken Inasal Meal and a Pork Bbq on the stick. Finished it off with a Bibingkinitan. Very flavorful and ok portions. Food cost has risen so it's not that expensive. Definitely bringing my family on the weekend read more

Stopped by for lunch today. Had their Chilean Sea Bass, Pork BBQ Sticks, Lumpia and Bibinka. The food was delicious. They don't cook anything until ordered, so the food was hot and fresh. The Lumpia was plump and cooked perfect. The Sea Bass had a nice sear and was still juicy. They also do catering. My wife said it reminded her of a restaurant in the Philippines. Finally good Filipino food in Fontana. read more

Taste is superb. Love the java rice and bbq combo! Can't go wrong with Tony's Bbq. Highly recommended.

Great service and really good food. I came to this new to me restaurant assuming Southern BBQ but found a Filipino menu. I'm always open to trying new foods and this is all very good to me. In 2 visits I've had 2 different pork dishes, chicken skewer and the Tuna Collar in a soup. I recommend giving this a try. read more
