YES! I miss my college days (Macomb) and the Hyvee Chinese food.

The new Chinese buffet on La Grange just off of the I-80 in Orland Park is really damn good. I think it's called Grand Buffet or something.

I'm not sure if they are open to the public for breakfast, but the Intercontinental Hotel downtown has a nice breakfast buffet. The Naperville Hilton is good for Sunday brunch. There is an Alberto's Restaurant inside the Carol Stream Holiday Inn that has an excellent Sunday brunch buffet with some dynamite chocolate dipped strawberries.

YES. It's less than $10 for anything and everything.

Tell me where you can get an omelette made to your every specification and have a bottomless orange juice for $10. Then add the fact that there's everything else under the sun available for no more money outlay ... well, I'd eat myself into the ground if the place wasn't so far away from BFE out here.

Plus, as an added bonus (???), for those that attending college and ate like an idiot, it's possible you've forgotten just how blessed a sight that is a full hotel pan of bacon just waiting for you to procure an obscene amount for your own devouring merriment.

don't do it....

I've never been impressed by the Polish buffets I've tried. Haven't been to Red Apple in 10+ years. Will have to give it a shot sometime soon.

polish deli or buffet?

Deli would obviously have the cold sliced meat, frozen items and imported goods.

Buffet, I'll anglicize it for you with cabbage rolls, potatoe fingers, hunter's stew, breaded veal and chicken cutlets, meatballs, sausage, ham, soups, salads and desserts.

I don't see a need to go to them either. Almost any Polish sit down restaurant will give you a plate of food filled beyond the ability to finish at a reasonable price. They are not bad for a quick take home dinner that is not fast food.

Someone in the office just made the call for Perry's Deli today. I'm figuring out lunch right now.

It's still Polish food.

We went to Bobak's once. I was told it was great.

did you black out ?

I find the keilbasa to be the most sensual of all the sausages, don't you?

back in the day, my senior year of highschool 97-98, we used to observe rib night wednesdays @ OCB (if i have to spell out the acronym there is no hope for you)

we'd purposely starve ourselves all day long, then in the precious hours leading to our feeding, we'd proceed to get high as shit to the point where we were damn near drooling by the time we got to OCB. the trick was to show up circa 9:30pm cuz with them closing @ 10 they'd offer you 1/2 off of the usual buffet deal, so man, we'd get in there and it was ON LIKE MARVIN GAYE... we'd end up obliterating like ~4-5 plates worth of food, achieving the legendary "itis", and then going home and passing out... only to wake up and drop a morning constitution with such magnitude that we'd end up achieving burlap-levitation about 3" above the toilet seat thanks to the sheer downward thrust that our bodies generated when we expelled all of that horrible food =D

Best time to go to OCB is around 10 on Sat or Sunday morning.You get a plate or two of breakfast then they break out the lunch.

There was a Pondorosa on Eola Road near Rt, 59 in Naperville until it closed about 1 year ago.

Pondos are bad.

Used to go to Ponderosa near Kenosha when I was a yute visiting my aunt.

Make-your-own-burger and Sundae Bar were the goods for a kid.

I used to go to that exact location when I was 10 and I loved it. Can not beat the ice cream bar and the tacos.

Chinese buffets are very hit-and-miss.

According to their web site, there are only two left. One in Gary and one in Crown Point.

If you are talking about the chinese buffet at 75th & Lemont Rd in Lemont, in the same parking lot as the Home Run Inn Pizza, yea, that's a good one.

There's a Hy-Vee in DeKalb now? Isn't there a Schnuck's now, too? When did DeKalb turn into Missouri?

I'll echo the Hy-Vee Chinese buffet, which I patronized a few times when I was down around Jefferson City last year. Ate them out of house and home for just $6.

I can sort of echo Sinicalypse's experiences with Old Country Buffet in terms of starving oneself in preparation for some world championship eating and subsequent world championship shitting, but without the pot. Back in high school, we'd go up to La Crosse and Eau Claire for jazz band competitions. I would eat like a bird on Friday, and then on one magical Saturday morning, binge on fried steak. Some of my best performances were fueled by OCB fried steak. So bad, so good.

Still there, just not called a Ponderosa anymore. The owner had apparently been trying for years to get the place out of the control of any Ponderosa rules and regulations. That being said, I have never eaten there, and a Golden Corral opened just down the street from it so its days may be numbered anyhow.
