Big Belly Restaurant — Restaurant in Benguet

NOT A BUFFET!!

Server told us they weren't doing buffet style meals anymore, we still ate there since we made a reservation.

Serving time was around an hour ++

Would recommend getting the potato chips for sharing, little greasy but serves a lot of people. The chicken parmigiana is good — would get the rice meal instead of the pasta.

We also got the citrus salad, they did not add in the walnuts and parmesan ☹️ We had it to bring it back and the waiter said they forgot to add it in, so they gave us the walnuts and parm in separate bowls.

Kids were playing on the staircase and below it, so it was a bit too noisy and chaotic as we were seated directly in front of the staircase.

Out of the stuff we ordered, we liked these the most: potato chips all meat pizza carbonara chicken parm (minus the pasta)

We also got the following: fried chicken, bit bland grilled BBQ chicken citrus salad, has raw onions so whole salad was overpowered by the onion taste cookies and cream frappe hot matcha

Their best sellers (5 cheese pizza and ribs) weren't available when we visited.

Location is a few minutes away from Wright Park. It's on the left side directly after the...

The place is great and well spaced. I called the place to book for dinner and I was told to pre order so that our group won’t need to wait when we arrive. I clarified and yes I need to pre order. After texting some food, I was asked for advance payment. I asked them how I will gonna pay, I can pay with credit card, and was told through gcash. I told them I don’t have gcash as I am a visitor and the answer was: ok mam just order when you arrive, but we don’t accept credit card… cash and gcash only. We arrived and the restaurant was basically empty! Asking customers to pre order knowing that the place is not busy is a trap. Quite disappointed with the sweet and sour fish…breaded fish fillets and sweet sauce with pineapple bits on top….really? Seafood marinara with 3 pcs of shrimps…really? Or should I call it shrimp marinara. Nothing special with the grilled pork liempo, for the big belly house specialty - pork belly was ordinary but the salad with it was exceptional. Coffee is café quality, pork sinigang was superb and staff are great. The pre ordering and advance payment puts me off as I see it as a trap...

I ordered take out, beef kare kare for 10-12 persons. And its 1,595 pesos and I assumed that is enough for 10-12 persons. When the food came I was so mad because the kare-kare is only for 5-6 persons only. It's not about the price. You should think kung kasya yan sa 10-12 persons. Again its not about the price. I am expecting food for 10-12 persons. I trusted your restaurant kc un ang nakalagay. If only naging honest kayo. That's not nice. And you are not being honest to your costumers. My expectations are based on what you've been writing on your menu. .it's not only because of my own perspective. It's not about the price. I want 10-12 pax not 5-6 pax dish. it made me so mad . It's holiday and its so disappointing.

Also the lechon kawali. I paid 2,400php for maybe less than 1000g. And it looks like they only fried it I guess they are rushing to close the store that is why they didn't bother to put some passion on it. I ordered 18-20 persons lechon kawali but the quantity is not enough for 10 persons. Please just write the right description of your food such as; quantity and more...
