We snagged a table and had coffee and meals minutes after we had our butts in the seats. The menu has so many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The rest of the party got breakfast and I got the pork tenderloin sandwich. You know the kind where the meat exceeds the bun. So tasty and the fry was perfectly crisp. The breakfast portions are so generous, you won't leave hungry. The restaurant was comfortable with pretty standard tables and booths for a family style restaurant. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. I definitely will return the next time I am in town visiting family.

This is a GREAT restaurant! The veggie omelette and hash browns were cooked perfectly!

The menu is HUGE and there are a few vegetarian options, but not nearly as many as you'd think with a menu this size. Regardless, I think this is my favorite restaurant in Monmouth!

I recently had a plate stacked high with their staples, and to say it exceeded expectations is an understatement. Looking at the feast for their Sunday buffet, it's pure comfort on a plate. The pie is out of this world as well as the service. Ambiance is one of my favorite parts about this little cafe as well. Here is why this meal earned a perfect 10/10

A hometown restaurant meeting the needs of the community.. good tasty food with reasonable prices…read more The basic menu is very Midwestern, sandwich driven.. A suggestion I would have is to have a hot meal special like chicken and noodles.. hot beef sandwich etc. Clean, friendly and delicious homemade food. We all enjoyed the tenderloin sandwich.. hand prepared with a tasty coating. About 25 minutes from our home so won't be just stopping by. But the folks of Alexis are happy to have them.. the amount of take out was amazing.

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.
