Lol updated 2026 review and I absolutely agree w everything I said! Growing up eating Filipino food, I get cravings every so often. I usually make what I want at home but to be able to have 2-3 of your favorite Filipino dishes, well then, you'd have to be at a party. But if one is craving some from the islands than you need to find the nearest Seafood City and get yourself to a Grill city. Is it the best? Nah. Is it pricey? Yahh. Is it good? Sometimes. Does it fill your cravings? ABSOLUETLY! Every Filipino Lola's/Lolo's (grandmother/Grandfather) makes each dish different. It will not be one of those omg reminds me of home moments (unless you live in the Midwest with a bunch of non-Asian descendants and only eat hamburgers and pizza for years) but rather, it satisfies the cravings. Have you heard of well, if you see the same ethnicities eating that food then you know its authentic, I believe that! Its authentic so if you in the area and want to try Filipino Food then come here, I would suggest a 2 Item combo, comes with rice; something grilled, something stewed add noodles or a dessert like Halo Halo Suggestions; Work on the customer service (Super Lacking), Rice is cheap so give more, Possibly par cook the BBQ and cook to order so it will be hot, ensure the chafing dishes are at the right temperature (HOT) check them hourly. read more

I get all the reviews but this is based on my experience. It's a classic. Granted their grill city here isn't as big as other places... it does have all the fixins that you might want or need. All the basics. Yes, the line might be long during peak times but it is what it is. I appreciate the staff for hanging in there and offering their best. Shout out to the young ladies earlier. One even said, try the smelt first ... it's not as crispy... i did and because of that I didn't order it and went with another. Ambiance wise, it's just like any other place ... it has a number of chairs and tables that does get full. Food wise.... you can get your usual grill items like pork, fish, chicken... Noticeably though... the skewers seemed smaller compared to before... . And yes.... if it's an hour or two before closing... they stop cooking / using the grill .... They did put up new combo prices and have now offered 1/2 and 1/2 ... rice / pansit. Granted the pancit was just okay... it's not bad. tbh... the viands are okay... your grandma's cooking is for sure better.... I mainly go here for the grilled items and at times the deep fried ones. Crispy pata/ lechon kawali.... And of course everyone loved the halo halo. The quintessential Filipino ice dessert. *skip the turon ... it was uberly dry. ** download the sfc app. It's like a rewards app that turns to usd that you can use here and other seafood city. *** best to order and pick up items rather than having them delivered. Price wise: it's okay. Not too bad compared to other Filipino resto. Kudos to the staff for trying their best . I appreciate them :) read more

Same a our Christmas order. Our new year's order was messed up as well. First, the crispy pork sisig. What we received is not crispy and it is not even pork sisig. It had a weird sauce. Second, the beef mechado, hardly any potatoes, and they were very undercooked, same with the carrots. Lastly, the pancit palabok, it was very dry, no sauce at all. Such a disappointment! I really hope grill city reads this and at least try to attempt to fix this and offer some effort to compensate their customers that they gave wrong and bad orders to. What happened to customer care and customer satisfaction. Your food items are not cheap! So we expect you to fix this! read more

It's our first time here to visit our son who is going to UC Riverside. We came to eat breakfast and we were there before 9am and there's no more breakfast foods like Tapsilog, Longsilog, Tocilog and Bangsilog. They said breakfast was until 10am and they were all gone except for few pieces of eggs, hamonados and hotdogs. They will not do refills for 10 more peoples in the line. We still ordered what was left and the foods were all cold including the rice. We ended up ordering Jollibee foods again. Instead of saving money, we ended up buying another breakfast because we were not satisfied with Seafood Grill. We will not come to this place again. read more

Grill City is nestled inside Seafood City Market in Rancho Cucamonga on Foothill Blvd. they have a variety of Filipino dishes and mostly known for their grilled items, such as Grilled BBQ Pork and Chicken, Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly), and fish. This is a walk-up counter where you point and pick your items for purchase. They do have some tables and chairs if you want to eat inside the market. The placement is a little weird because it's where people enter and exit. Most of the time, you'll see a gentleman grilling the items through the window. It only makes you salivate more anticipating that first bite of juicy grilled BBQ meat. I usually will stop by and purchase an item or two, depending on what looks the freshest. I personally like their Grilled BBQ Pork skewer than their Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewer, as it tends to hold more flavor. I've ordered the Grilled Pork Belly (Liempo) but it's always a hit or miss. The last two times, unfortunately, we're a miss - the pork fat was just too rubbery. I've also ordered a Grilled Calamari - the only thing is it's overstuffed with tomatoes and onions and seems to not be cooked all the way through. I suppose it's better than being overcooked. The solution for that was just to cook it through at home. The aroma of grilled items here is irresistible. The price on the skewers might seem a bit steep at 4 for $20 ($5 each). However, there's plenty on each skewer and the pieces are pretty big. They have other hot items you can order (adobo, menudo, sinigang, etc.) but I tend to skip over those since I can just make the dishes myself. Overall, it's a convenient place to get shopping done at the market and pick up some ready-to-eat items to bring back home for your family. One less thing for you to worry about. read more

Pls update your pictures the bar b que sticks are shorter and less meat. Let's call spade a spade. You kept your old price and are shortchanging your most loyal customers. Five stars for prioritizing profits over people. Great job grill city! read more

Located inside Seafood City right across from Jollibee. All of the food is displayed behind a counter so you just grab a tray and tell them what you want to order. There are tables in front for you to sit and eat. I have tried some of their dishes like pancit, kare kare, and adobo. They were pretty average. I usually go for the grilled bbq pork and chicken skewers. I prefer the chicken over pork. Although the pork has a more flavor, sometimes the fat can be a bit rubbery. Overall, not bad and I like the convenience of picking up food after shopping! read more

The food is great dont get me wrong, but god is the service horrible. Not only is their doordash a mess where you cant order half of the menu cause of how they set it up but when you order something that you can from the menu it seems to be always "Out of Stock". Like for christ sake I just want to have a freaking Beef Tapa Breafast meal, not a damn Grilled Chicken Tocin breakfast meal that you force onto me without giving me an option for a refund. Its annoying and I hate it. They need better management. read more

Grill City - One of what they are typically out of stock. - Filipino Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

The people working there are completely incompetent! We placed an order on their app at 7pm and got confirmation of that order saying it would arrive by 7:30 - 8pm.!we waited to no other response. By 8pm we tried calling grill city but their number wouldn't connect. We tried several times until we called seafood city and got them to transfer the call to grill city. First the girl that answered the phone said there was no order made from us but we gave her the order number from the confirmation email and then she told us the manager didn't inform them of our order so we had waited an hour and a half for nothing. We were quite upset and asked for the manager and she said she would get them. Then told us the manger was unavailable but told us the manager offered us some kind of credit.!so she lied, the manager was there, just unwilling to get on the phone because they know they fucked up and didn't have the balls to get on the phone and apologize in person and admit what an incompetent shit they were. Then they told us they could fill the Order at this time because they were out of the food we ordered. We told them they probably had the food an hour and a half ago when we originally ordered it. They just said 'oh sorry like that was good enough to explain their ignorance and incompetence... We won't be ordering from them again in the future. I suggest you don't order fee from them as well They have no customer service and are full of shit!!! read more

Grill City is inside of Seafood City. The variety of BBQ skewers, lechon, tilapia, other fish and squid, lumpia (egg rolls) , Adobo and so much more is amazing! So much to choose from. We had the Pork BBQ skewers, which was so tender and tasty. Buy 4 and get 1 for free! Chicken skewers are also available. There was a lot of fish and shellfish so we had to skip trying certain dishes. My oldest daughter is allergic so we didn't want to take any chances. Next time we come back (without her lol) , we'll try some other dishes. read more

The BBQ pork wasn't fully cooked, and I didn't realize it until my daughter complained of a stomachache. The line was long and the service was slow, so I decided to take it home and recook it. On the way home, my daughter started vomiting, and all I could smell was the BBQ pork. I made sure she was okay, gave her plenty of water, and she said she felt a bit better after vomiting. Please check your food. I won't eat here again. read more

Order #8127519 -- The people that work at Grill City are completely incompetent! They didn't deliver the Halo-Halo that I ordered so i called and a girl answered the phone...didn't get her name but she sounds young and worked on a Sunday 10/19/2025 around 3PM . I let her know that I didn't get the Halo-Halo and she just started saying "not our problem you have to call the driver", "not our problem you have to call the driver we can't give you a refund you have to call Doordash"...but I had told her that I ordered the directly on the Grill City website and not Doordash so she placed me on hold and I hung up to call the Doordash driver. I spoke to the Doordash driver and he said, the girl never gave her the beverage...so who is lying? Then I called Grill City again to try to speak to a manager, but they never answered the phone. I called 5 times and they didn't answer the phone...horrible service, incompetent staff. I will not be going to Grill City again. But if you do, just go there and get the food. Don't order thru their website because if you are missing an item, they will not refund.... read more

This Rancho Cucamonga location is very convenient as far as parking and accessibility goes. Right off the entrance to Seafood City, I am greeted by the aroma of bbq chicken and pork skewers (my fave, btw). Their food is delicious enough if you don't get enough Filipino cuisine in whatever area you're from. They have a good selection of dishes which I recommend you try a lil of each. The 2 item combo is a good starting point and won't necessarily dent your wallet or purse. It is a lil pricey but nowadays, isn't everything? If you haven't had Filipino food, try them and you won't be disappointed. It's pretty good. I would like to add that sometimes they have specials that doesn't always get updated online so best to just drop by if you're in the area. My go to is usually the bbq skewers. However, it goes for 4.99/stick so if I were to order multiple amounts, it would be nice that they can discount it depending on the quantity. (Like 3 for $10 or something similar.. "buy 3, get 1 free") As far as service is concerned, the girl who helped me apparently was new. When I got to the register to pay, she started to work the register but another older female coworker was seemingly getting frustrated with her learning ability to work the register. It just seems very unprofessional to speak that way to someone who is trying to learn and in front of customers too. Anyway, hope this helps y'all. MABUHAY! read more

My first time to come to Grill City. Didn't know that it's inside the Seafood City supermarket. Location wasn't precise per GPS. Good news is they were still open around 8 PM on a Sunday. To cut the chase, food is great. The staff is very accommodating, very respectful. The place is convenient and conducive to eating. Well-lighted and clean. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Picked up Sinigang mungo, BBQ chicken and lumpia. Yummy! My family loves these choices, so I'm back! It's so nice not to cook and someone else cooking. read more

I've been eating here for years. The food they serve is what I consider comfort food being Filipino myself. You gotta try the different barbecues. The biggest thing about this place is the service. They are so inefficient. They have so many staff members and yet it takes forever to get your food considering everything is cooked already. The staff seems to be chitchatting or doing something else and don't even acknowledge that people are waiting. It is quicker to get stuff at Porto's which is really packed compared to this place. To the owner, please have some staff training. Even if the food is good, people can only take so much of bad service. read more

Grill City is a Filipino food to-go inside of Seafood City. There is usually a line here during the weekends and service is questionable. The ladies working this food to-go place tend to take orders from people out of order, which leads to resentment from the people who have been waiting longer. They have value meals where you can get a grill item, a classic entree and a large amount of rice. I find that the ratio of rice is too much and I don't like their rice so I just get the grilled items a la cart. Both the Pork BBQ skewers and Chicken BBQ Skewers are 4 for $14.99. Both are decent, but my family prefers the pork, it is usually more flavorful. When I was ringing up, the cashier started helping the person behind me before I was done paying and I just stood there like an idiot waiting for my receipt. I totally support efficiency, but she was so distracted she kept forgetting what the lady after me was trying to tell her. So I found that counter productive. I come back if I am already in the area and my dad is craving some Pork BBQ Skewers, but the hassle is too great for me to stop by on my own. read more

#39 for 2021 Since I shop at Seafood City, Grill City makes it convenient to get a quick meal for those times when there isn't enough minutes in the day. That may not always work out for this location. And, we'll get to that "why" later. The food is good. It may not be the healthiest of choices. It's the kind of food I grew up with and love. It brings back many memories of my youth and has been my comfort food. My favorite here is the squid with the tomato and onions. With rice it is an excellent dish. I've ordered it many times. It's not my favorite Filipino food. That would be cripy pata. If you've never had that you are missing out big time especially if you are pork lover. However, I often find myself disdainfully ordering pinakbet over rice as my attempt to making a healthier choice. The adobo is not bad, but I'm sorry I'm a bit bias liking how I make that myself. It's good and you should try that too. Any of the other grilled meats too like pork or chicken is great to have with rice. Or simply get a rice bento you can grab out of the booth in front of the cashier. There are several other grab and go selections there too like the banana and sweet potato que. There's not much of selections until the afternoon though. For the dessert try the turon, a banana spring roll. The poplur dessert is halo halo. I love the string macapuno (coconut). That's great to have during those hot summers. They can also cater for your party. A whole lechon pig is about $79.99. I think that's a great deal. I've never tried it. If you do see if they'll provide a bucket of the sauce. There are many other dishes they can provide too. Check out the website for those other dishes and see their extensive menu with better descriptions. Plus, other unique offerings. There are currently 8 locations including this one in Rancho Cucamonga. Carson, Cerritos, Irvine, Eagle Rock, West Covina, Panorama and North Hills. The biggest issue here is the service. Not very attentive at all. This is not indicative to all other Grill City. Only to this location. Although this has been stated several times from the reviews and management has replied there does not seem to be clear indication of changes to improve their customer service. The line can get long especially during rush hours and that's when it's worse. However, sometimes it's entertaining to watch how they go about jumping around from customer to customer watching the expressions of other customers who are getting angry or cracking up. There are times where i couldn't help but laugh myself. It's like a 3 ring circus. But, no matter what time you go try to have a little more patience than you normally do to be better prepared. I come by here almost every week. I may not order anything all the time but will be monitoring for improvements to relay back here. If you've never had Filipino food this is a good place to start getting acquainted. If you need to ask questions ask the people around you in line. You will find many of them enthusiastic to help you. They are a joyful people and love to share their food. I will warn you, though, they may like you so much you could get invited to have dinner with them. Denying the invitation is considered an insult. Literally. hahaha read more

Filipino food grill inside of Seafood city market. It's a small place with lots of yummy Filipino food. They have pancit 2 different kinds, bbq pork, bbq chicken, bibingka, lechon, turon, fried plantains, lumpia, and so much more... Now there is a language barrier most of the staff know very little English. But I found if U smile and say what's good they will point U in the right direction. They have party meals and family meals. Because buying things separately is very pricy. Which R really good deals if u plan on feeding a lot of people. Everything we had was really tasty. The employees were friendly and helpful. We would come back for sure. read more

Food is mediocre and prices are ridiculous. Ordered 2lbs of lechon kawali - 38 dollars Two pieces of grilled pork bbq - 20 dollars Double Combo Total was 77 dollars Last time I am ever going there. Food quality Lechon was not crispy had to put in my air fryer Kare kare had more tripe than beef and really was cleaned well. Afridata didn't have big chicken pieces. All I got were the drumstick ends. If you are charging customers a lot of money, at least give us chicken pieces not bone and cartilage Pork bbq- it was okay but not worth 10 dollars a piece. Highway robbery and food is not of high quality read more

The line here is always long, so we assumed it was really good. We finally decided to try it and lined up. We got a 2-entree meal for $10 - pancit palabok and chicken adobo. The portions were a bit smaller than we were expecting. The chicken abodo was very good, but the palabok was super dry and lacking flavor. Honestly, the one at Jollibee next door is a lot better and more worth the money. We really appreciated, though, that the cashier gave us two free sesame balls just for our toddler daughter. They were really yummy, too :) read more

We picked up some grilled pompano and tilapia fish from this place. The taste is nothing to be excited about, it's edible. We also ordered halo-halo, I must say this is quite disappointing. It's nothing like it looks as advertised on their billboard. It's missing a bunch of ingredients! !! It's not fair for your customer, to not get what you clearly advertised and paid full price for it. You should at least inform them that you were out of certain ingredients for this halo-halo desert and let them make the decision. That is a total blatant disrespectful! read more

Super duper average if you ask me. The only thing that makes this place worth coming to is that it has better breakfast than Jollibee, which is next door. They give you more rice and two eggs and they have grilled chicken tocino, which is 10x better than regular pork tocino and just a step about beef tapa. Other than that, lunch and dinner entrees are nothing special, just regular Filipino food. Customer service is kinda whack too because they seem very rude to younger customers. read more

Grill City - Grilled chicken tocino, two eggs, rice. Breakfast time only. - Filipino Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Grill City is not good Filipino Food. Their BBQ pork or chicken lacks flavor, the food in the warmers look old, never fresh. Their only saving grace would be the pre-made food that usually has tocino or longanisa. Those are actually decent and way cheaper than the turo-turo. The people behind the counter like to chit-chat and ignore customers. I was there the other day and the line was getting long, only one girl was helping customers while two other women were dilly-dallying around. There's no sense of urgency to help customers. read more

I'm being generous with this 1 star review! The line was short today so I decided to buy 2 alacart items. 3 people were ahead of me waiting to pay. I was getting frustrated why it was taking too long. I observed that the cashier, instead of concentrating on customers paying, was also helping out with taking orders and packaging them! There were already 6 of them doing that! This was causing the line to go longer and the waiting even longer!!! Isn't this also a violation of health code? She's handling payments and food items at the same time!!! I asked to see the manager asap! Mgr. Melissa explained to me "sorry sir, we're short staffed!" Six people in front should be enough unless your system is flawed!!! There have been days where people were waiting in line because the rice is not ready, even though they've only been open 30 min before! read more

Before I start, you might want to take a quick look at an *authentic* video explaining the Tagalog word, "turo". Married to a Filipino, I must endure this on a daily basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjkCpI0J2cI. Your sympathy is appreciated. So now that you have viewed that, you can better understand when I say, this is a "turo turo" food establishment. You must point-point to indicate your choices. Yeah! Turo Turo. Thankfully, in this venue you *are* allowed to employ your fingers as well. Anyone familiar with that culture knows about these cafeteria style delis the Filipinos are so famous for. They feature the usual suspects. And what are the...usual suspects? Well, I will let you figure that out, because you will most likely find yourself going there. Especially if you are reading this review. Besides, they change daily. So, here is what Mr. B and I had. Lechon paksiw (pronounced pawk see yu) - pork in a lechon sauce. Fantabulous from the aspect of having crispy chunks of pork+skin in a delicious vinegary gravy, slightly sweet and gingery. Lechon kawali - Same pork with crispy skin, but no gravy. This is then dipped in a garlicky vinegar dip before ravaging. Bbq Pork and Chicken skewers - generous amounts of bite sized meat that have been marinated in a soy based concoction similar to teriyaki, then skewered and cooked over an open flame. Japanese yakatori is similar. And...a big scoop of white rice. There are a few tables. Remind yourself, this is inside a grocery store, so no dining high expectations. Inexpensive, satisfying, very decent food, for what we tasted. However, I would suggest you get yourself in front of a mirror and start practicing lip pointing. They may not understand fingers that well. read more
