Step into Adobo Boy in Grand Rapids, and you're instantly welcomed with a question that defines Filipino hospitality: "Have you eaten?"

More than just a restaurant, Adobo Boy is a celebration of tradition, family, and bold Filipino flavors. Founders Ray and Jackie started by cooking for friends, then grew through cultural festivals and a pop-up before opening their own space—where home-cooked comfort meets high-end presentation.

Unlike fusion spots, Adobo Boy stays true to its roots, showcasing dishes that capture the essence of the Philippines' 7,641 islands. Even its name comes from their son’s childhood love for the national dish.

For many, it’s their first taste of Filipino cuisine; for others, it’s a nostalgic bite of home. Either way, every dish tells a story, and every guest is family.

💬 What’s your favorite comfort food, and how does it connect you to your roots? Let us know in the comments!
