I have been coming to this fantastic buffet for several years. I especially like to come on Wednesday for the roasted pig (lechon), it is always great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I know that during the military lunch time, it will be crowded, but it is worth it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The store always has some of the best Filipino ingredients in NW Florida! read more

Busy when we visited this place. I just bought few things like fresh long green beans & few things. I will try the cook foods next time, I will love the foods & to eat there because I am from Philippines read more

Service is friendly and solid. The price is fantastic, lunch all you can eat Filipino buffet for $16 is a true value. Their chicken skewers specifically are amazing, but the rest of the buffet items I would say are good but not blow my mind. That said $16 for all I could eat chicken skewers is almost worth a 5 star by itself. They're that good read more

Philippine Market and Cafe - Pancit noodles, broccoli, green beans, lumpia, fried fish, and ribs were all good but the show stopper is their chicken skewers. Mmmmm - Buffets Near Me - Valparaiso, Florida

Amazing food and close to Eglin AFB if you work on base. I have been coming to the Philippine Market and Cafe for years and the food has always been great. I have not found better Philippine food in the area. The lumpia is always great to the point where I would order extras to bring back to work. The food and dining experience has remained consistently good for all these years and I hope to visit again the next time I'm in the area. read more

Ladies are very sweet. The food was good but unfortunately I went after lunch hr and not much was left. I grabbed the last few green beans, kimchi, pancit, chicken was hard probably from being under the light for so long. The rice didn't look appetizing I believe I paid about $8+ for this plate with no drinks. read more

Philippine Market and Cafe - What was left in the menu - Buffets Near Me - Valparaiso, Florida

All you can eat Filipino? Count me in. Great, friendly service. And super close to Eglin AFB! The pancit was what I was most excited for (basic, I know). It was good, but unfortunately didn't have any meat in my serving. I like chicken or pork in mine. Wildly enough, the fish was my favorite part. Specifically the option that's not breaded. It was very well seasoned and tasted fresh. The lumpia hit the spot but wasn't very fresh, to be expected of buffet food though. I cant complain for a cheap buffet, and especially a Filipino one at that. It was a unique experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch-time visit. I will say, the concept of a market attached to a buffet is wonderful. Aisles of snacks and ingredients imported from the Philippines. A variety of fresh pastries to take home too. I'd definitely come back and bring a friend! read more

The food is always good, the service is friendly and efficient, and the girls just keep the food coming! My wife and I truly enjoy the food with its many varieties to choose from. We keep on coming back for more--just can't get enough! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant part is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food and service is always great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They need to expand since they are very busy once 11am hits and parking is scarce.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had the pleasure of visiting this place today for the first time I wish my experience would have been better. The potatoes and chicken or maybe pork not sure which it was but it was cold and as I tried the desert of what looked like grapes and a jello pudding mixed I couldn't help but think about dogs balls it wasn't grapes what ever it was was chewy reminded me of oyster minuse the swelling in the mouth. read more

Love the food!!! Service was really good. They get really busy tho so get in there a little early.

Food is amazing and fresh! I ordered Pancit, Lumpia and Siopao and it all reminded me of home. The service was great and they were able to answer some questions I had during my ordering process. They do have a small market area you can browse along with fresh pastries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean dining area as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We came in at the end of their lunch. Not much food left but owner allowed us to purchase what they had left available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Building was a little so confusing to find bc front looked like a convenient store.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ribs were good. read more

So good. A go to place when you want all you can eat comfort food. Plus all you can eat lumpia. We don't get over here often, but it is our go to when in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Must try, but be warned, its crowds fast being outside the base gate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They deserve 6 stars in every category. This grocery store with an authentic cafe is popular with local Philipino's and others alike. You seat yourself and then feast on all the tasty well seasoned food choices. I do not eat pork and still I have plenty to choose. The hospitality of the 3 ladies refreshing drinks and clearing plates is noteworthy and commendable service is given to repeats and first timers alike. The ambience reminds me of a grandmother's house. The attention to detail is stellar- I fried plantains and told the chef once and now everything visit they ensure hot, fresh plantains stay piled high on the line. A must try for everyone, just do yourself a favor and go! read more

We love this market and the buffet! The service is great, the staff is extremely helpful and so friendly. All of the food at the buffet is so good. The only complaint we have is the rice that they use. Besides that, everything else is delicious. The market always has my favorite Ube buns. I warm them up In my waffle maker and it's so delicious! We also get our yellow mangos and calamansi there. read more

Absolutely a constant staple in my Filipino husband and I's go to spots!! The best Filipino food hands down, making it worth the drive from Milton to Valparaiso. Half of the venue is an all you can eat buffet style Filipino food for $12 a person, only during the weekday lunch hours. Some items go faster than others & they are quick to restock, constantly keeping it fresh. Some staples like the sinigang, pork meat sticks, lumpia, and pancit are daily in the rotation, but they also switch out certain entrees depending on the day. I love whenever we can catch the lechon! (Pro tip: ask for the vinegar and soy sauce and make the perfect dipping sauce) The service is always a 10/10 and the same tita's are always serving each day! The other half of the venue is a store filled with all sorts of imported goodies from the Philippines featuring childhood staples like salt and vinegar chips, caramel corn, and more. Plus, they even have rotating fresh desserts and treats like ube bread, mamon, etc! It's a cozy one stop shop for a comfortable dining experience full of authentic food and shopping! read more

Just recently visited this filipino market with the buffet restaurant inside per our Niece's recommendation and we're glad we did. For a small buffet it has good selections of food and everything I tried are tasty and taste like traditional home cooked meals. Service was excellent and people that work there are friendly. The place is cozy and busy but if you're willing to wait few minutes I'm sure tables will be available. I will definitely go back when I'm in the area and recommend it to anyone that's looking for traditional filipino food. I'm sorry I was not able to take pictures. read more

Best Filipino food on the gulf coast hands down. The bbq on the stick is a must. Great little market too. Wednesday is lechon kawali especially on the buffet. read more

Philippine Market and Cafe - customers in the store - Buffets Near Me - Valparaiso, Florida

Too much chaos between the store and buffet. The Filipino food wasn't anything special. The store didn't have a lot of supply and variety.

A recent price increase has put this once hidden gem into the overpriced category for mediocre food in a substandard environment.

The food was delicious in every bite, and the service was good. However, the restaurant was uncomfortably hot, possibly due to a lack of AC and reliance on fans. I prefer not to sweat while eating, so takeout might be a better option. They also have a small market with international items from the Philippines and a selection of nice bakery goods. read more

So I didn't find what I was looking for here. I did get a can of squid though for $4. Last time I had one can of squid, it was $1. I was looking for dried snow white mushrooms. It is hard to find it in Kentucky & Tennessee. read more

Hmmmm...the market is okay. It's a small Operation...you find the basic Filipino food items and snacks. The restaurant Buffett is a great idea...however, the taste of the dishes is lacking. I had the chicken adobo, Caldereta, lechon, and Lumpia. The lumpia and Lechon were good...however the adobo and caldereta missed it's mark. This restaurant is Good, but a far cry from Great. read more

Great people! Great food! Only downside is that it's always busy. Other then that if you want good Filipino food for a reasonable price this is your spot. read more

A friend of mine recently told me about this place I had no idea it was there! The Buffet is delicious! A great selection. The place is really busy so that means I'm not the only one that likes it! read more

Love this place. Buffette is great and the owner are friendly. I love coming every Wednesday lechon kawali's day :)

As good as it gets! The Philippine Market is now "The Philippine Market & Cafe!" Buffet is $8.99, plus drink is $9.99. Pansit, chicken adobo, lumpia and ribs are just some of the food items available on the buffet line. Plenty of seating in this cafe. Market has a variety of Asian goodies--not all exclusively Filipino. A convenient one stop location 3 minutes from the Valparaiso gate. December: drinks are included! read more

They have all your cooking needs and fresh vegetables. Frozen fish. Fresh baos. I like the pork best. The staff is friendly. The buffet- hmmm. The ribs were great and had a distinctive flavor. The rest of the dishes seemed as though they were all in the same sauce. Not a fan. read more

Thanks to Jenny and everyone that served us and helped prepare the fantastic food we had at this restaurant. It was fabulous and worth the trip. We live in Jacksonville but if I lived here I would be a regular diner. read more

$14 for mediocre Phillipine food. BBQ skewers we're ok. Everything else was bland. Very disappointed in the lumpia as It is a iconic and delicious treat when prepared right...not here...it was tasteless but edible with extra sweet and sour. The restroom toilet was broken and had been used. No paper towels. The hot water is scalding and the on off handles didn't work. This gave it a realistic feeling of actually being in the Phillipines...so kudos on that I guess. read more

Okay... I'm Filipino, born and raised in San Diego. Being Filipino, and fortunate to have my mom still around, I don't go out to eat Filipino food much. This place is amazing!! I bummed that I'm leaving town tomorrow and only discovered this place. This place rivals my mom's food, and that is saying a lot. Everything in the buffet is yummy! The place was pretty busy at lunch. Tables were always available, but stayed nearly full while we were there. I'm not sure of all the names of the dishes. There a stew like dish with chicken, potatoes, and peas. That over rice is so good! The fried chicken is great too. It's not a fancy place, but the food is delicious! read more

So good, yummy yummy. Nice people . Nice nice . Lot of option. Please Saturday Sunday open for rice adobo for me

Great service and food was fresh and homemade. Very friendly staff and filled my drink without me asking. Also very clean.

I love the food in the pi market and eatery. The food are delicious. I like the skewer the most and fried chicken. They used to have lechon, but I think I always missed it. By the time you get there is gone. You have to come early for the lechon. Come and try the food. You will come back for more read more

This place has a lot of reviews and all amazing. Let me tell you they are all true. As soon as you enter through the door you are welcomed by the smell of grilled meats, spices, and soups. You will seat as soon as you enter and begin eating right away. There is no delay. It's also very affordable. A true family value. read more
