Our Ponderosa closed in 2021 so until we took this mini vacation we have not had it all this time. We were so happy to find this one! The selection wasn't quite what ours used to have but I'm not complaining! My sirloin was great and my salad and the livers were fantastic

I didn't know there were any Ponderosa's still in business. This was a nice surprise, and very well kept.

This is a very clean place with very nice staff and a very good Buffet. The buffet itself is a meal in itself and the pit ham with the homemade barbecue in a bottle is amazing. The pulled pork is also very very good! Would like to see an update on the remodeling in a little bit more privacy than sitting out in the open to see the line but great food and great service.

Our experience at Ponderosa was good, as usual. My husband had the buffet, and I ordered off the menu. I got the beef sirloin tips, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. It was delicious. We are both seniors so we got a discount. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly.

I haven't been to a Ponderosa since I was a kid. We were just passing through the area and decided to stop. The Service was very friendly and quick. The establishment itself was very nice and clean. The bathroom was very clean also. The food was great.

Ponderosa has gone super down hill over the years use to go here all the time as a kid an exciting treat. Now not so much I feel like a waste of time and money.Vegetarian options: I mean there is a hole salad bar and the main menu you order besides buffet has veg optionsKid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly the atmosphere is great

Food is always good and steaks are cooked to order. Server kept our glasses full and the table cleared of used plates.
