It's about as middle of the road of an American Chinese buffet as you can get. A tad overpriced for what you get, IMO. The food is fine. Not amazing and not bad. Everything was fresh and fine. Wouldn't be in a rush to go back unless someone else wanted to go or there was a really good coupon. read more

It used to be good, but the chicken is dry and not flavorful. The service.is mediocre and they seem angry all the time

Service was fine and I liked the atmosphere of the place, very simple Chinese buffet. 14$ for the buffet felt like a decent deal to me. The food was about what I expected, some was fresh and hot some was cold, most was okay at best. I did like the homemade spring rolls though. Definitely turned off by the desert bar. They had cantaloupe sitting out which was attracting flies, and the flies consequentially ended up in the other desserts like the pudding and etc. Their ice cream station was self serve; just an ice cream scoop sitting in a soapy bowl and a freezer with different family sized containers of ice cream. Felt like a health hazard and my tummy is feeling it the day after. Maybe when they are busier they're more attentive to the food quality and cleanliness but I know I certainly will not be back. read more

Food was great and inexpensive! Service wasn't shabby either. I will return in the future.

Small buffet offering. Pay before you eat. Drinks included in price. I've had better, but the fare is adequate. I don't plan to return. Don't skip this place based on my review. read more

We decided to order from here for super bowl. and we had it delivered by grub hub, when we got the order there was egg drop soup and sweet and sour sauce and it was all waisted in the bag it was leaking all over my carpet, the noodles were in a carry out tray and the tray was busted all the noodles were in the bag with all the liquids, this let me know that it's not all the delivery fault the caps were never on the food.so $44.00 lost I will never order here again, and it was my first time trying their food. read more

I don't know why people aren't reviewing this place, because it is packed out and the food is really good! Someone on another review said the service was non-existent, but its a BUFFET! What kind of service were you expecting? We're in town from Austin, so we have definitely had our share of 5 star Chinese food. This place is not gourmet, but seeing how it's the only buffet around, it was the bees sweet knees! read more

Great Wall Chinese Buffet - Brain freeeeeeeze at Great Wall! - Chinese Near Me - Granite City, Illinois

Great place to eat enjoyed my basil beef and pork fried rice, waitress was awesome I would definitely highly recommend

As long as you come in before it gets too late in the evening, you can usually get your food pretty warm. The best choice in GC if you want to start eating as soon as you walk in. They just don't have a real huge selection. Wouldn't hurt if the staff smiled a bit more. Maybe offer a refill on your drink, but that's no big deal. Overall, it's edible, convenient, and never crowded. read more

I am not one to write a bad review but today I am because of service and quality of the food.. This is probably the worst place I have ever eaten.. food cold.. for a buffet only about 2 things tasted okay.. otherwise food was dried out or cold.. or you couldn't make out what it was.. but again everything was cold.. I literally had to pull 4-6 cups out before I found a clean one before preparing my drink.. Customer service epic fail.. when I complained about cold food.. her response was.. "steam coming off food".. My complaint was irrelevant to them because the meals were paid for in advance! I explained this was my first time here and I was very disappointed.. and again the response was "no refund" as she pointed at the sign that stated the policy "we don't waste food.. no refund!" I would not recommend eating here to anyone even if it was free! Crossing my fingers we don't get sick! read more

Sadly today was my first and very last time eating at this restaurant. Not only was the food absolutely the worst Chinese food I've ever ate, my boyfriend became ill within an hour of eating here. I tried several dishes in an attempt to find something worth eating with no luck. Probably should have asked for a refund because I left hungry. Don't waste your money read more

Eh, just another Chinese buffet located in the armpit of America, Granite City. I think it is housed in a former Shoney's restaurant building. This place just seems to lack many things, most notably quality of food and they do have a half-decent selection. I believe this restaurant is owned or partnered with the folks at the Chinese Buffet in Alton (on Homer Adams), which is odd because I've given that place high marks. Cleanliness and the bathrooms are another issue here. Even the spicy yellow mustard was globby and gross. read more

Food was very greasy never had egg rolls so greasy and no meat in the grab rag Ron and noodles even greasy worst meal ever

First off I want to make the biased statement that I hate Chinese buffets. Walking into one of these establishments makes me want to puke. Chinese food is guaranteed to stimulate your colon. I only come because my co-workers will sometimes eat here on a duty weekend. If you are looking for really greasy foods, here's a cheap place for you. The food, even the white rice, seems to have a glossiness to it. There is a variety, some sushi rolls, salad bar, lots of fried food, and ice cream. read more

Shocked to see a lot of negative reviews. I think they have a good selection. Some of the choices may not be very hot at times, but they are quickly replenished. My only complaint is the chicken dishes are over-cooked, Love the egg foo yung (and gravy), the crab rangoon, dumplings, the seafood dish, and the wontons and egg drop soup. Hoping they can re-open soon.....One negativity, the bathrooms do stink. read more

9/10 would absolutely eat at this establishment again. It was quiet and the staff was very quick to refill food. A few choices weren't too hot, but the large selection that was available was very tasty. read more

It's a good place and it's my favorite for Chinese food. I'm giving a four star for the fact the amount of choices were removed due to covid. The past three times I went the food has been cooked fully, hot and maintained, and good. I'm not really too reliable when it comes to comparing to other Chinese restaurants I don't go to many. This is the only one I go to. The food was nice, they even have ice cream. read more

This was an awful experience. I've gone once and likes it so I suggested that my husband go with me. I will not return. Customer service was not tops along with the half fresh half dried out buffet. For 22.95 I expected more of a variety. I should have ordered take out; at least my food would be fresh. read more

(FOODIES BEWARE ) this place is a bad stomach trap and nasty isn't even the word for it i see it with my eyes they use the same cup and dish bucket for clean dishes be of mind to cut raw chicken pieces and then when the spanish gentleman who works there tried to wash it before hand got scolded for using to much ..yes i said it to much soap from ..wait for it a dollar general dish soap bottle not even a commercial anti bacterial soap and just sprayed it with water and continued about there day i immediately got up and walked to the front and demanded my money back that i would be letting everyone i knew know what i seen right there it was nasty it's a good thing i didn't or my family didn't take one bite and the nerve the lady had she pulled a knob of cash from her purse and tried bribing me i declined i said there no amount of money worth someone's health she then proceeded to tell me stuff i couldn't make out i was blown away i was shocked like i have no words but wow and i told her this isn't my fault it is yours for not keeping a good establishment and clean for our sakes and anyone else's thank you for taking the time to read this and stay healthy!! read more

Food was not very good, but not terrible. The service was almost nonexistent. You have to refill your own drinks, and pay ahead of seating. For almost ten dollars a person, this place is not worth it. Steer clear. read more

I felt very sick after eating at the Great wall. The restaurant was dirty-- looks like it hasn't been cleaned since it was a Shoney's. The food tasted like it had been basking in the warming lamps a few days too long. If you have a choice, pick anywhere but here in Granite City, anything would be better than this restaurant. read more

Awesome little buffet, come here often!!. Has great service really good food! Would recommend this place to everyone.

Great Asian Buffet for lunch. Fairly clean an cheap.

. I walked in and the family who was running the place did not even acknowledge me. I decided to wash my hands prior to eating. The stench of the restroom was really bad. I left without eating. Really did not seem clean at all. read more

My Favorite Chinese Place! I don't normally write reviews, but I hate when places I like get trashed on websites like this! People complaining about service, Get over Yourselves! What did you expect when the sign clearly says "Buffet!". I'm a picky person, and there are only a few things on this Buffet that I don't like, so the food is a win for me. As for cleanliness goes.... eh, you got me on that one! Use your bathroom at home and get takeout (it's cheaper!). read more

Meh, food is okay. Drinks come with the price, but it is just okay. Nothing special, but if you are in the area, it will do.

Food is horrible. Food was cold and I honestly think I got food poisoning from them. They don't have a huge variety. If I was you I'll run why I still got the chance read more

It is a Chinese buffett. Food is okay. There is variety of food on the buffett, even sushi.

The last time that I ate here in 2016 I got sick. There is very little difference in the sauces used in each entree. The vegetables are mostly cabbage, celery, onions, and carrots. You won't see a pea pod or a red pepper anywhere...maybe a mushroom. Their food doesn't taste like any Chinese food I've had at any other buffet; it has a strange aftertaste. Please steer clear of this place if possible. It's not exactly clean either. read more

I saw this on my maps and decided to come eat here. It was overpriced for low quality food. The silverware was not properly washed. There was still traces from the food before on the plates and they smelled very bad too . The fruit was rotten. It was not worth my time or money. read more

Nice buffet with plenty of variety. Great place to bring friends. I come in frequently.
