Decided 9 months ago to never order Grand Cafe again when owner (he said he was the owner) yelled at me and slammed my car door because he felf I had pulled to far up in the pickup line. Decided to give them another try this weekend (ordered delivery to save myself from being yelled at again) & I should have saved my $$! Food was horrible. Absolutely no flavor at all. If I hadn't spent so much $$ I would have thrown it in the trash. Needless to say that will be my last time I ever order food from them again.

I used to rave and rant about Grand Cafe as I LOVED their food. I am sad to say that I was so disappointed yesterday when I ordered eggs rolls. The egg rolls are WAY smaller, more expensive & DO NOT taste the same. This is so sad as the egg rolls are what they are famous for. I can maybe see making them smaller to cut costs but one should NEVER change the ingredients or the way they are made! EVER! I am so sad.

I have eaten at this place my entire life, 62 yrs out of the 100+ years that they have been around. The food was always exceptional. I know it has recently been sold yet again. The food has consistently gone down hill. The last time I ordered will unfortunately be the last time that I ever order. The beef in the chopy suey was full of fat and gross! The meat has NEVER been of such low quality! 🤢 The portions are extremely small for the money they charge yet the prices go up every year. It's sad to see such a life long community gem go straight down the drain.

I've actually only ever gotten food from here on doordash, but I wanted to leave a review here too because the food is always DELICIOUS!!! I get food from here more than I'd like to admit while I'm at work and it's seriously so good every single time! :)

I always get their Pancit Bihon and it never disappoints, so that deserves a 5 star in my book. I also never order online, always call and scoop in person. 🇵🇭🏆

Average in every way. Probably very dependable in its food quality. Quick service. Nice atmosphere.

Rice was rather mushy in the fried rice, egg rolls are a third smaller and not the same, just mush inside no distinct veggies or meats like there used to be. So disappointing that Grand Cafe sinks further and further. Cannot believe how much the portion size has shrunk while the price skyrockets. Really shouldn’t be calling this Grand Cafe anymore. The egg rolls can no longer keep me coming back. So sad.

Food was extra oily and very mid. The chicken we had was more breading than chicken. Not the best egg rolls I’ve had. Personally, I prefer other restaurants in the area.
I literally should have listened to the reviews. This food was gross. The orange chicken was soggy, literally breading falling off and the “chicken fried rice” was as far from it. It had a weird smell and looked like brown rice with pieces of canned chicken in it. And the egg rolls had a slight taste of peanut butter with a mushy inside. I’m really hoping i don’t get sick from tasting the small amount i ate. I shouldn’t trusted the reviews 😭😭😭😭

Great food. I prefer the Philippino menu to the Chinese menu. Love the pancet bihon. A slight ding on service because it took a little longer than usual, but they were very busy at the time.

Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE the food at Grand Cafe, but the service from Felicia is the BEST in Illinois. She is the friendliest, most efficient server anywhere. She knows our order when we walk in. We will always be a fan of Felicia and GC!!!!!
