We live in LA but my husband and I would always make the drive here for their bibingkinitan. Staff are so nice and very approachable. Shoutout to Ate Roxy for always making sure we are well taken care of. read more

Roxy and the rest of the staff always provides me and my family a beautiful well cooked meal every-time

Amazing food and even better service. The moment we walked in, the aroma alone told us we were in for something special. The experience became even more memorable thanks to Roxy, who welcomed us with a beautiful smile and genuinely friendly service. I finally satisfied my craving for inihaw na liempo -- perfectly grilled, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. My friend ordered the salmon, and it was just as impressive: fresh, well‑seasoned, and cooked with care. If you stop by, look for Roxy. She goes above and beyond to make sure your food is prepared just the way you want it. Highly recommended. read more

Tony's Barbecue - Inihaw na Liempo (Roasted Pork Belly) - Filipino Near Me - West Covina, California

We live down the street from Tony's BBQ and have ordered takeout from here a few times before, but somehow never got around to writing a review. After this weekend we definitely had to! We hosted a party and decided to order one of their family combos for the first time. We went with the Family Combo #4 which included 4 lbs of Liempo and 48 pieces of Inasal (leg and thighs). Everything was amazing! The meats were flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Our guests loved it and several people asked where we ordered from! The sauces that came with the combo were also really good and paired perfectly with the meats. A special shoutout to Roxy who helped us with our order! She was super friendly and very helpful. We really appreciated that she pointed out which sauces contained peanuts and confirmed that the meats themselves were peanut free. That level of care meant a lot to us! Overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience! Great food and great service. read more

Meet Roxy super friendly and nice! We ordered the chicken bowl for my sons lunch told her that and she immediately told me there is a peanut sauce they have in the bag so we if he is allergic not give him good thing she told me because my son sure does have a peanut and tree nut allergy so she took it out the bag! My son enjoyed the food he said it was "fire" his classmates asked him where he this food! Ordered the fresh watermelon juice and that was also "fire" Mini bibingka is yummy! I called my order in the second time around and when I arrived in 15mins food was ready I just had to pay! So I would recommend you call! You could order through uber eats and door dash! read more

If you want to wait 40-45 mins for your food because the staff likes to drag their feet go ahead and come here. Very unprofessional staff. Wait time is unacceptable. I order my food and you see the staff in the back smoking and joking to prepare the food. This is an embarrassing. I'll never be backs read more

Nice people. Good food. I'd recommend if you'd like a quick lunch passing by to your next spot.

This is a great place for Bbq, the food is delicious and freshly cooked, service is always fast and friendly.

Love Tony's. Delicious food for a super great price. I absolutely love their bibingkas and will drive here just for that. Small enough to be a personal treat. All their meals are delicious as well. The swordfish, salmon, chicken skewers, and any of their desserts. Wait can take a little bit sometimes due to the amount of people and the freshness of their food, but 100% worth it. read more

Great food & excellent service. Roxy was friendly, food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh! highly recommended!

We called for food pickup, and when we came to pick up, we went 15 minutes later just in case they were behind. Guess what? It was still not ready. Then this lady here already has an attitude. How can you be in the serving industry if you have a bad attitude? Stay in the kitchen if you can't handle customer service! This lady acts like she owns the place. I'm guessing she's Tony's daughter or somewhat related to him because she acts like she's the boss. My husband asked for vinegars because we ordered 15 pieces of chicken, and she said there's one vinegar included. I told her we ordered 15 chickens and asked for 10 of those little vinegars because no one is going to share vinegars at our party; that's disgusting! She immediately gave a rude face and went to the back, saying she would ask. What do you mean you will ask? If I ordered 15 pieces of chicken individually and ask for vinegar for each order, you should give me the vinegars anyway! Then she gave me four vinegars and said that was all they had left, then walked away. Rude and unprofessional! This will be my last time coming here, and hopefully that lady finds an old grumpy tita to match her energy and put her in place. Don't ever come here! read more

Tony's Barbecue - Nasty lady - Filipino Near Me - West Covina, California

Great local eats if you're craving for classic Filipino BBQ. Service was great and when you order, they will give an approximate wait time. For us, it was a 30 minute wait. I love that they cook everything fresh. Food came out swinging with savory flavors like I was in the Philippines. The chicken inasal was tender and juicy. The Java rice was awesome! My salmon belly was like Wagyu! Melts in my mouth goodness. Friendly people behind the counter. We were in the area for an event and so glad this place is on our way home to Simi Valley. read more

Thanks so much for Roxy and Tony's BBQ for yet another Filipino feast well done! Coming from the Midwest, going to West Covina and the plenty of Filipino spots is a joy, but Tony's is something really special. Roxy is incredibly welcoming and kind I tired to decide what we should get for a large family get together. We've tried the bbq, liempo, lumpia, and much more. They take the time to make the food ready right at pickup, it was piping hot in all the best ways. The aroma was mouthwatering and the meat was juicy, well seasoned, and smoky with the chargrill on the different meats. Thanks so much for the excellent food and too-notch service Roxy! We so much appreciate the cooking like we're back at home in the Philippines!! read more

If I could give more stars, I would. From the moment we walked into Tony's BBQ, we felt genuinely welcomed--not just as customers, but like old friends coming home. The space smelled like comfort food and care, and that's exactly what we got. Chef Jon was the heart of the kitchen--he came out personally to greet us, made sure our food was fresh, hot, and made with love. You can tell he takes pride in every single dish that leaves his grill. Every bite was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with intention. Meanwhile, Mel at the register brought a whole different kind of magic--kindness and warmth that made the ordering experience feel easy and personal. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely interested in how we were doing. Her energy just made everything brighter. The food? The service? Impeccable. The vibe? Like a BBQ made by family, for family. I don't usually write reviews, but service this sincere deserves to be celebrated. Thank you, Chef Jon and Mel--you turned a regular meal into a memorable experience. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I had been told about Tony's from a few different friends and finally made it over. Rosie and the staff were amazing. They recommended to call the order in to save on wait time but I don't mind waiting for quality fresh food. They provided all of that and more. I couldn't recommend a place more. Also a family business that you're supporting which is always a bonus. Thanks again and I'll be back soon!! Pork skewers were fantastic. read more

I'm not the type of person who leaves negative reviews, but I felt compelled to share this experience. My family and I have been loyal customers for years because we truly enjoy the food--it's consistently delicious. However, we've repeatedly had unpleasant interactions with one of the staff members who takes orders. During my most recent visit, I ordered a chicken and pork platter. When I picked it up, it only came with peanut sauce. I politely asked if there was soy sauce with calamansi and chili included. I was told there was no calamansi available, so I asked if lime could be provided instead. She again answered that they do not have lime. So I again asked perhaps a lemon? The lady visibly irritated and initially insisted that the peanut sauce was the standard pairing. I completely understand that certain dishes come with specific sauces, but I was simply requesting an alternative sauce based on my preference. After some back and forth, I was eventually given lemon, but the interaction felt unnecessarily tense and unwelcoming, and there was no acknowledgment or courtesy extended at the end. When she handed me my order and everything I needed, not even a thank you from her. Unfortunately, this hasn't been an isolated experience. We--and even some of our friends--have noticed a pattern of unfriendly service from the same staff member. She treats customers like she hates her job all the time. Like you couldnt bother ask her one simple question. I do not wish for someone to lose a job but please do something about it, train her if you must. Or maybe she's not the right person to be in frontline. I wouldnt leave this awful review if not for her consistently RUDE personality. While I understand that everyone can have bad days, but lady, you do always have bad days! The next time I crave for your food I would rather just go to other branch than to encounter your employee who handles your customers very poorly. Your food genuinely provides a pleasant day ahead but your employee's attitude completely ruins the experience. read more

Tried to call to order ahead of time because from previous experience, it takes aboit 15mins for them to prepare the food. But no one was answering. Thinking they were busy. I went to the place. There was no line at 12noon. I thought i was lucky and it wont take that long to get my order. Only to find out it will take 30 mins for them to prepare my order because they have not started cooking. That explain why there is no line during lunch hour. This place used to be pack at this time of day but seeing the place empty....as for me, this will be the my last visit. read more

Very misleading open working hours. I was craving bbq food and thought it might be a good time to try this bbq place, I double checked the place through this yelp app. It says open at 11:00 am - 8:00 pm.. I went a little early 10:50 just to be sure since the reviews says it takes time to cook. By 11am, I checked.. still not open. 11:30, they're still not open. what a waste of time. A guy said there's no cashier. C'mon tonys bbq... you guys can do better than this. very disappointing experience. read more

I recently visited Tony's Barbeque for some Filipino-style barbecue, and it definitely delivered on flavor and authenticity.The Filipino barbecue was the highlight of the meal. The pork liempo was perfectly marinated--sweet, savory, and slightly smoky with that signature caramelized glaze. Each bite was tender and juicy, with just the right char from the grill. The chicken inasal-style barbecue was flavorful and well-seasoned, and the tocino had a delicious balance of sweetness and smokiness. Paired with garlic rice and a side of atchara, the meal felt complete and comforting. Roxy was the best! She assisted is with our order and will definitely be back over and over. ANG SARAP!!! read more

First of all I just have to say the food here is always good. This time got the salmon belly plate, cooked perfectly and the sauces complemented the dish well. The concern I have is the service. I got there at around 3pm and all staff was having lunch and they told me that I had to wait about 10 minutes until they finish their lunch, why would all three of them take their lunch at the same time? There were a few other customers that came in that's why one of them went back to take our orders. I don't mind waiting for them to cook the food to order, but waiting just because all the the staff went to lunch at the same time is a bit out there. read more

Ordered from Tony's for my dad's birthday and it was the best idea ever. I was able to place an order on Wednesday for a pick up on the following Saturday. I did have to pay ahead through Zelle since it was considered an "advance order". Roxy made it very easy to order and she was very patient with me while placed the order. Day of, Roxy was also there finalizing the order and explained which item was in which tray. Overall, would recommend for parties! read more

Delicious and so savory! Finally tried this place! I've heard people recommend it. I didn't know it was like a whole in the wall type of place. They just have a window to order and pick up and a couple seatings outside. Love the lighting/ambiance outside. Feels very cozy. I went a little bit before 7pm on a Saturday and unfortunately, a lot of their items were sold out, but the lady was super friendly. I asked for recommendations and she recommended the Chicken Teriyaki Meal and the Liempo Meal (pork belly). She told me that they make everything fresh as they are ordered, so it takes 15-20 min. She was very nice and wiped down the table and chair for me to sit and wait. I waited 20 min. Both meals were very delicious!! The chicken and the pork belly are full of flavor! They're also sweetened but not too sweet. The only down side is that they are a bit burnt. I also wish they didn't use plastic containers even though it says they are microwave safe. I was surprised that both meals came with a soup (it's similar to the Chinese egg drop soup). I think they added a lot of starch. Not too salty. It was super hot though, so the plastic container felt a bit soft. I wish the meals also came with veggies. The lady recommended ordering during lunch or over the phone. I do want to come back and try their other options! read more

They claim to reopen at 4pm, but I stood there waiting while no one bothered to acknowledge me. Even past 4, the "closed for break" sign was still up. When they finally decided to take it down, the cashier spent more time on her phone than actually helping customers. Even when it was my turn to order, she was glued to her screen. If this is the norm, that's pretty unprofessional. The food is good, but honestly the service leaves a bad taste. read more

I called to order 1 lb. of grilled salmon and 2 chicken skewers. The cashier (the older woman, not the younger one) took my order and said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I came to pick it up and she gave me 1 tray of liempo instead. Once we found out that was the wrong order, she then angrily told me to wait for another 20 minutes. After I paid and drove home, the 1 lb. salmon turned out to be just a few tiny pieces. I called, but no one picked up the phone. So, we brought it back and the same lady told me to go inside the kitchen. Their scale still showed less than a pound, including the container. She told me it was exactly 1 lb when it was still hot from the oven due to the steam. The younger girl even brought out a bowl of frozen salmon and dumped it in the same scale to show me 1 lb of salmon. I told her, "You're treating me like I'm stupid. That's frozen, and we paid for grilled cooked salmon." That older woman, the cashier, shoveled me out of the kitchen and yelled "You called me stupid???", and slammed the food container on the table outside. I demanded a full refund. She said to call the owner, Tony, and left us hanging. We ordered since 10:45am, but due to the wrong orders and arguing, we left at almost 1:00pm. That woman refused to give a refund and showed me a sign at the window, saying that she had a right to refuse a service and threatened to call the police on me. Eventually she had to give in since other customers behind me told her to just to give us a refund. But then, she gave a refund only for the salmon, not the chicken, and refused to take the chicken back. There was a long line so she had to yield again, and finally, refund the rest. To Tony, the owner! We met and I talked to you a few times. You looked like a decent and honest man who put so much pride in this business. You told me there were more locations in other cities, but what's the point of expanding when you don't know how your workers are treating customers? As a business owner, do you want to lose a 6-year, loyal customer for just a few ounces of grilled fish? Would you prefer to give your customers a few ounces more so they're happy to come back, or sell it short so you look dishonest? As an owner, is the price your business listed on the menu for cooked or raw meat? Grilled or frozen fish? Not only that, have you ever read the negative reviews? And you let that cashier treat customers that way! Tony, you are expanding too fast. If you focus on the locations you have now, don't you see losses instead of profits from losing customers, caused by employees like her? Don't you think that your employees are ripping off customers, and cheating on your profits? Regardless, we won't come back since you are not the only place to sell grilled salmon. And to that rude, savage, dishonest woman, you didn't need to show us the "No Service" sign and threaten to call the police on us from refusing to give a simple refund. The chef had better manners than you. He at least asked us what we wanted to make up for the shortage, but you kept screaming and shoveling us out! This place doesn't deserve customers due to employees like her! read more

Amazing food and service. Definitely worth the wait. Shout out to Roxy thank you so much for everything. See you guys next time.

The place was amazing. The squid was really good and cooked just right. The pork ears were prepped perfectly too. Service was quick and we didn't have to wait long for the food. Definitely love this spot and will be coming back. read more

I've lived in West Covina over ten years and I've always drove by this place but never thought to try it until today. I was very impressed. I ordered the 3 pcs of pork sticks meal. My cashier was Roxy and she was very nice. Smiled a lot and provided great customer service. I had to wait 15-20 min. She said everything's freshly grilled so the wait was understandable. The meat was so good and tender. So much flavor. I didn't feel like I needed the sauce it came with since the meat was seasoned enough but the sauce had a smoky taste and was good on the rice. The soup that came with it was like an egg drop soup. Also good. I'd love to come back and try something else. read more
