    Buffet area
    Francis L.

    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.

    What was left in the menu

    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.

    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!

    So good!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Food isn't bad. They have sadly cut alot of options over the years. Sushi seems to get replenished…read moreat random long intervals. Other than the lunch hours, the food tends to sit too long on the buffet line. Service is really bad. You get your initial drinks. But after that, the only time a server visits your table is when they clear plates while you're away getting a new one. I usually have to get up and ask someone for the check. It's not a bad experience. Just not a good one.

    7/15/26 update:…read more I was in town in Navarre and brought my entire family here for dinner. After the good experience I had in the last few times. We came here on a Wednesday night and there was not many people in the parking lot. We were seated right away. I went up to get what I normally love here's. The crawfish. This time, the crawfish was cold and the inside were black and tasted horrible. It tasted not fresh. The frog legs were not stocked and I had to wait 30 min before they brought some out. I didn't try anything else because everything looked like it's been sitting out for hours. Waitress service was slow and I had to ask for my refill. I am not sure what happened here as I gave this place such a high rating, but not this time. The ice cream bar was super unsanitary and the water that is dripping on the spoon was nasty and dirty. I probably won't be back again when I am in town again. You can chance it if you're feeling adventurous.

This location is pretty big, it definitely feels like I've been transported to the 2000s with the color scheme. Everyone was hustling and bustling to make sure everyone had what they needed. Our server was wonderful and took good care of us. The food was good! The salad options were wonderful, the corn was okay, the Mac and cheese wasn't all that, the popcorn/coconut shrimp were great. They had good dessert options like brownies, banana pudding, soft serve. The crab legs were good! Between me and my husband, we put down about 10 clusters. (this is a place that you have to come hungry to get your moneys worth) I can totally see how the restaurant makes money from the people that barely eat the crab legs. If you were coming for buffet only $40 as a scam. But if you're coming for crab like buffet and you come hungry, you might get your moneys worth. Please keep in mind that soft drinks are not included into your buffet!!! I definitely felt like a medieval animal, tearing them apart, but thankfully, our server gave us some wet wipes. The flavor was good, they literally taste like crab legs. Overall, it was a good experience. It felt clean and everyone was very attentive. I think this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to come, but we might not come again cause we wanna try another place.
