This place has the BEST tasting food…read more My hubby, who really doesn't like most non American restaurants, chooses this one over all others. We live in New London and this is our first choice within 50 miles every time we eat out. I've eaten cheese stuffed mushrooms at Red Lobster. Blah. It's the first dish I put on my plate here. The food is delicious. The waitresses are friendly and gracious. The prices are fine.

Review Visit: July 11th, 2016…read more Situated on the border of Iowa and Illinois sits the Casino/Hotel/Spa that is known as Catfish Bend. It offers a small, but quaint casino that is lucky to have a Smoking/Non-Smoking section, based on your tobacco needs. There is a bar in the center of the casino that serves $1 bottles on Mondays (based on my experience) after 4pm. Nearby is Fun City, so if you are up here on a family vacation, you can have fun with the kids all day at Fun City and then pop over to Catfish Bend for some adult entertainment.

Catfish Bend Casino, now called Great River Casino and Resort. They also own Riverside Casino…read more Since they took over it is even harder to win at the casino. $300 dollars at an average bet of 25 cents to one dollar per spin. Highest win $60 in a bonus. Very few line wins. Before that $100 bet 7 cents to 25 cents...NEVER got one bonus. So if you go make sure you can afford to lose what you spend. Big bets win more often, but also goes fast. Food is just okay, nothing to write home about. It is all open and there is smoking allowed. Opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 2 a.m.

Small buffet not what I was expecting Ok on to the food First small plate samples: White Rice and lomein noodles And sample a bit of everything Plastic plates and plastic silverware Big butterfly jumbo shrimp silver dollar size! No shrimp sauce Real good as is! The chicken pot stickers were spot on perfect! Rice was spot on jasmine rice awesome flavor! Lo mein wow outstanding! I could have made a meal out of those two things! Chicken broccoli check! And good Steak and onions with green peppers check but I only did the steak and onions as green peppers are not an out of town road food for me Really good Some cashew chicken I did not see any nuts but it was a little warm on the spice Egg drop soup well mine is better lol But a dash of soy sauce to flavor it And was ok. Second trip more of the same. Hot day so just the small sampling Drinks are serve yourself and included in the 15 dollar price Yea I would stop again if I was in the area But not a destination place for me

This place is BUSY! , but we made reservations and did not have to wait. The buffet lines go…read morequickly. The buffet is well worth the price at $25 per adult. The buffet has a myriad of selections and it's all very good and fresh. A little disappointed with the fish but keep your plate open cause at the end they carve you delicious selections of prime rib, ham or turkey. All of them are so delicious. The atmosphere is awesome and service excellent. It really added to our Nauvoo experience. Highly recommended with reservations ahead of time.

Holy Cow! This place is AWESOME! The selection, freshness, and price are all amazing…read more Started with the sushi, which was above average. Mostly rolls seaweed wraps and California type rolls, but they were very good. Very fresh. Also had Lo Mein, which was a little greasy for my taste. But the vegetables were very crunchy and fresh. The kiwi and other fruit were impressive on the salad bar. Overall, an excellent presentation and content of food. A huge step up from your standard buffet at a price that you absolutely cannot beat!

During our stay in Burlington we passed the Pizza Ranch and decided to give it a try. For $15.99…read morefor the buffet it was a decent deal. The buffet included pizza, fried chicken with typical sides like mashed potatoes and biscuits, and a salad bar and dessert bar. The two stars are due to two things. First, the one staff person we interacted with the most came across as miserable and if she was miserable you were going to be miserable too. Apparently we are the first people to enter the restaurant who were not familiar with how Pizza Ranch operates. This staff person reacted in disbelief at simple questions like "do we seat ourselves?" And "is there a menu or just the buffet?" We quickly learned you pay first and everyone gets the buffet even though there is a menu. Second, while the hours on the door say the restaurant closes at 9 pm, the restaurant actually closes at 8 pm. We didn't know this when we entered around 7:20. At 8 pm the staff person mentioned earlier walked around asking diners if they were done. When everyone said yes they started putting everything away. I went to grab a last piece of dessert but discovered the staff person had just stacked all the remaining dessert to take back to the kitchen and when she saw me she had a look of "what the hell do you think you're doing?" Overall, we were fed for a reasonable price but if you go bring your sense of humor and go early.

Service was great! The food is out of this world, phenomenal! Best Chinese food around!read more

Once again, your writer was pulled from his current activity and found himself jetting to another…read morepart of the globe on an hour's notice. In fifty-five years of flying, I have smelled enough jet fuel, 100 LL, and burnt coffee. Enough to see too many things change, but not on this day and this trip. Indeed, I'd dined at the Packinghouse back in 1986. They've been open since 1978, and I recognized it immediately. Then, as now, the place looks the same and the food was remarkable. My co-star and I sampled the inviting salad bar, and he opted for the broiled steak covered in mushrooms. I had the shrimp scampi, which was spectacular and enough for two normal people. Our only disappointment was that the highly touted bread pudding had been exhausted. Hence, we settled our stomachs on the chocolate lava conflagration that helped put things into perspective. The ambiance was an interesting mix of nostalgia and packing plant apparatus. Being a vegetarian, I wasn't offended by what happened there since 1912. The still-active railroad station is just across the street, which made sense for the building's original purpose. Our server was a local historian who enhanced our visit with her perspectives. Yes, the HOJO where I stayed in 1986 is long gone, but the Packinghouse is still doing what it does best. I must also mention that downtown Galesburg is an inviting anachronism reflecting the old America that I grew up with. There are interesting stores and other attractions. Galesburg is also home to Knox College, and was the venue for one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates back when debates were really debates and not Kabuki Dances.

My husband and I visited Crazy Buffet (aka Panda Buffet) in Galesburg, Illinois on a Sunday night,…read morearound 7 pm, in late Sept, 2024. The restaurant was scheduled to close at 9 pm; the rest of the neighborhood was already quite sleepy. All of the food that both my husband and I ate was quite tasty, including Asian buffet favorites such as Pepper Chicken; Mongolian beef; crab Rangoon; California sushi; and far more. They also offered some unique and tasty items, such as fried zucchini slices. They also had tubs of creamy and yummy ice cream for dessert. We rate the quality of the food that we ate as 4.5/5.0. However, by 7 pm, the restaurant was already winding down and many of the food trays were already near empty and weren't being replenished so there were many food offerings that we didn't get the chance to try. Our rating for variety is thus only 2/5. Service was okay (3/5). The waitress brought us our requested waters, and checked in once to see if everything was okay. The overall ambiance was of a typical Chinese buffet restaurant, and was maintained well. The restaurant and restrooms were clean. However, staff started to wind down the day at 8 pm, including mopping the floors of the main buffet area, the check-out counter, and restrooms while we were still eating and needing to walk in those areas! It was an hour to closing time! Finally, the restaurant was a good value for all-you-can-eat for $12.99/person at dinner, before tax and tip. We would return but probably earlier in the day to have full access to the variety of food choices and to ensure that we didn't interfere with the cleaning at closing.
