Maboy’s Food House, known for its home-cooked Filipino meals, has reopened in a larger outlet near its original location. Located at Miñoza Street, North Agora in Talamban Cebu City, the new outlet allows more convenience for its growing community of patrons.
Known for its marinated barbecues and comforting classics, the restaurant continues to offer the warmth and flavor of homemade dishes. Co-owners Dr. Judith Akol and Joli Lacson said the expansion reflects their commitment to bringing hearty, home-style cooking to customers who crave the familiar taste of a well-prepared meal.
“Curbside pickup has become a great feature for busy customers,” Ms. Lacson said. “You can call ahead, and we’ll bring the food right to your car, saving time and making the experience more hassle-free.” This is particularly beneficial in an age where convenience is key, allowing customers to enjoy Maboy’s delicious meals without stepping out of their vehicle.
For five years, Maboy’s Food House has built a strong following with its special approach to classic Filipino dishes. Their barbecue, in particular, has become a customer favorite, but it’s not just any barbecue.
“All our meats are marinated using a secret recipe that sets them apart from the usual offerings,” Dr. Akol explains. The unique flavors have made their dishes stand out, appealing to those looking for familiar yet elevated comfort food. “We never expected it to be such a hit. It’s simple food but prepared with so much care and attention,” she added. The menu features beloved classics like kare-kare and crispy bagnet.
In addition to offering dine-in services, Maboy’s continues to thrive in the food delivery space. During the pandemic, delivery platforms played a crucial role in keeping the business afloat. While the pandemic brought significant challenges, it also forced Maboy’s to adapt to customer needs. Currently, delivery remains a big part of the business.”
Their new outlet boasts a capacity of 70 people, including outdoor seating, making it ideal for larger groups and private functions. Maboy’s has expanded into catering and exclusive event bookings, serving anything from birthdays to family gatherings.
Despite the growth, Maboy’s Food House remains committed to its local roots, using locally sourced and fresh ingredients in support of local producers.
The move to the larger location also signifies a new chapter for Maboy’s as they plan to introduce new menu items and seasonal specialties. It incorporates changes in the menu every six months, adding new dishes based on customer feedback and testing new ideas.
In its new home, Maboy’s Food House promises to continue delivering the same heartwarming dishes that customers love, with the added benefit of a more comfortable space, better service, and expanded offerings. For a quick takeaway, a casual family meal, or a special event, Maboy’s is ready to serve.
