On the whole, the food was good, hot and if you had the buffet included, you had access to lots of food. We had not been to Ponderosa for 15 years and had to quickly re-learn the Ponderosa system. You order based on pictures in the wall menu with prices and have to figure out with/without buffet, senior/children or not and so on.

In retrospect we probably should have had the buffet only as it had sufficient variety of hot and cold items to satisfy most people.

Buffet with good selection, if you are not a big eater I would not suggest getting the buffet with the steak selection, get either or.

The Texas Steakhouse was full so we went to Ponderosa for steak. We hadn't been there since we were children, and wanted to relive good childhood memories, and realized they should have remained memories. The steak was done right, but a horrible cut, lots of grisle. Every item on my fish platter was overcooked and oversalted. My friend's tilapia came after we were all done, because it "had to be thawed". The best part was the soft ice cream machine. Not worth it!

We love to try different foods , and this one has everything.
