Ponderosa

The food was barely 4 stars. The best things were the meatballs and the fish. The desserts were also very tasty. However, the steak on the buffet was terrible. The breaded chicken was dry, and the ham was almost pure fat. Mashed potatoes, veggies, and beans were all solid. The salad bar is always good and fresh. The highlight here is the broccoli. For dessert, the cheesecake and peanut butter pies were both really good. I have always loved cheap ice cream machine ice cream, which I've always called "milk ice." I love it. It went well with a moderately sweet chocolate cookie. The staff were all nice and atmosphere was fine. There is a lot of parking to an easily accessible entrance.

I was in the area showing dogs and was pleasantly surprised to see a PONDEROSA! GREAT childhood memories! Very pleased with how I was greated. Employees were professional and very friendly. It was like I have been going there for years. Table service was hands down the best I have had in years! Food was great! Good selection at the buffet as well. The buffet was loaded with all the "comfort" foods you could imagine! Great ice cream bar, pies, cookies, jello. Absolutely something for everyone! Thanks so much for a great experience!

All the staff especially Katie and Janice was awesome and very helpful with our needs. They even went beyond their jobs to make sure my Mom got to the restroom and back to the table. Will definitely be back there soon

I enjoyed all of the food that I tried. The meatloaf and loaded mashed potatoes were my favorites. The salad bar was very well stocked and everything was fresh. There was a great selection of food on the hot bar and in the dessert section. Our waitress was a sweetheart and was very attentive. The restaurant itself is very cozy and very nostalgic. My only complaint was the fact that there was something very sticky on the bathroom floor.

We were excited to see a Ponderosa pop up on our way back from a family reunion. It wasn't overly busy at the time we got there but picking up quite a bit bygthe time we left. Service was friendly.. I didn't get her name because I hit bathroom first. My hubs thinks Kate but his memory not the best.. She was a pleasantly chatty, friendly, eager to please blonde. I ordered Salmon and broccoli,my hubs got steak and fries. We each got a side salad. My salmon was perfect, hot and cooked just right. The broccoli was nearly cold.. The server got me a new side of steaming hot broccoli.. My hubs steak was supposed to be medium well... His steak was very done and very dry... The server took it away to get a properly cooked steak... As you can see in the pictures there was a definite difference. The replacement steak was great according to hubs. Despite the couple of food issues I would eat here again.. Issues resolved quickly and the service was the best! Our waitress looked out for us and made sure we got what we paid for. FYI: before tip it was about $50 for 2 entrées, 2 side salads and 2 drinks.
