I had not been to a ponderosa in well over 40yrs. It has changed i think…read more My steak was tender but almost seemed synthetic and was way too salty. The potato, beans and corn were delicious! The bread that was brought to the table was awful!! The salad choices were good and fresh and deserts were tasty. Our server was wonderful and attentive. When I went to the restroom, the kitchen was a disaster as if a tornado had gone through. There was a young man in there that looked like he was washing dishes and cleaning up, but the smell and the amount of cleanup required an army. Wow! I think in order for Ponderosa to survive, they need to embrace health and foods that are simple with reduced processing. They already have the great name recognition They just need to shift in that direction and use it for advertisement. I may come back and try it again I'm visiting the state.

Love stopping here with the family on road trips!…read more For years, my family and I have been stopping here on the way back from Indiana and always love doing the buffet! I will say that the options on the buffet line can be hit or miss sometimes on options you'd eat but for the most part, there's a good variety for everyone! The service here is also super friendly, never had a bad experience with the staff here. They also keep the food on the buffet line nice and fresh! The restaurant itself is always very clean as well and has a very cozy vibe to it. I can't wait to be back!!!

For my meal, I chose the small ribeye steak. It came with choice of veggie or potato and I chose the veggie special which was roasted brussel sprouts with bacon. You also got a starter salad with the meal. The food was just ok. My steak was tender and tasty but cut really thin which wasn't what I was used to. The brussel sprouts were cut up and were a bit dry. The starter salad was good. I wish the food was a notch better because everything else about the experience was excellent

It was the perfect place for us to relax, bond, and create special memories together. We especially enjoyed the pool time--it was clean, relaxing, and a great way for all three generations of us to unwind and have fun. One of the highlights of our trip was tea time, which made the experience feel extra special and memorable. The hotel was comfortable, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything was well-maintained. From start to finish, it was a wonderful getaway that gave us quality time together. We'll definitely be back again--highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

It was 930a in the morning, she took our information and said she would notify us when our room was ready. We were celebrating our Anniversary and the Front desk agents & Bell staff signed an anniversary card signed by all. Very special. Our dinner at Smoke & Fire was awesome, we were seated by Sharnita/Supervisor, she quickly took our drink order. Ashley was our server, my wife had Shrimp & l had 1/2 slab ribs. Food was a 10 of 10. Service was a 10 of 10. Note: Sharnita gets special kudos, she was cleaning tables, bringing food. And all this with a smile.

It was near the bottom of the pan which was overdue for a refill but the worst part was it was so fatty! There was nothing but fat. It was awful! The brisket was the same way. Fatty. The salad bar appeared fresh though we had to wait for plates. The dressings were due to be refilled. The rolls were few and far between. The dessert bar was the best, as usual.

Lamb chops are a separate charge here unlike other Texas de Brazil locations. Unlike the Fogo de…read moreChao in Michigan where they are part of the included buffet price. They removed the lamb picanha!!! There are no current special seasonal dishes either and I was told perhaps not until summer! Spring just started! Alex was our attentive server. Jim the manager answered our questions well. My son and I bought the $70 dining card to receive twelve 1/2 of meals, so we have 24 discounted meals. He and I had water, while my wife had a soft drink for her birthday, though she would have enjoyed one regardless. The bill was just under $100 for us three. I am very disappointed about the lack of lamb picanha. Only having leg of lamb as part of the buffet is disheartening. Hopefully they will bring it back. I was considering getting a third discount card, but without lamb picanha or lamb chops I doubt I will. Of course we will be back as we spent $140 plus delivery fee to have physical discount cards. We saved $87 so the break even point will be our next dining experience here. I ordered the overpriced $13 carrot cake for my wife to enjoy for her birthday as the coupon for joining their website does not combine with the discount cards. This pushed our total spent to about $147 including tip. If you like this place invest in a discount card or two or even three.

Even though I had reservations AND it was lunchtime (not dinnertime) AND the restaurant was nearly…read moreempty, the manager still tried to seat me by the restrooms. Everyone else was seated by the windows. I had to insist on being seated elsewhere. The restaurant is relatively new and still retains its sparkle. The salad bar is at the back, with chill/hot sections. I paid attention to other reviews and zeroed in on the pineapple carpaccio. In addition, I had the hearts of palm, baby asparagus stalks, potato salad, and lobster bisque. Other people had recommended the latter and they were right. I had very little else from the bar to focus on the grilled meats. The parade of meat started very quickly after I was seated. The filet mignon was fantastic. It was well-seasoned and prepared at the right temperature. The picanha (spicy and garlic) was okay. However, I thought the lamb was too gamey (I usually like lamb) and the pork was too dry. I got full quickly so I was glad I did not select the chicken or sausage offerings. Brazilian bread, bananas, mashed potatoes, and fries accompanied the meal. I only requested the bread, which was hot and chewy, and the bananas were swoon-worthy good. Yes, you need to save room for the sugar-and-cinnamon-spiced, pan-fried bananas. My server was polite and responsive. I wish I could forget the inauspicious start to the meal.

Maybe I got unlucky, but I won't be returning personally when I figured this would happen and it did - a bit of confirmation bias, but I can't help it. I also found their selection lacking - a lot of basic staples of this type of food were missing or would run out immediately (even when it wasn't that busy) and nobody seemed to refill them for a long time. I found 2 items I actually liked and ate basically nothing else but a bunch of those two things. They also made you wear a dumbass giant glove to touch the serving utensils - clearly, as with how sick I got, it didn't help because the food is what should be watched out for not the other guests. I have no ill-will towards the place, the staff was nice and the place was clean enough, it just was bad food; even if it didn't get me sick I wouldn't want to come back.

While this buffet offers a lot of choices, none were very good. The best part was the wonton soup, which isn't saying much. The rice was weird, and mostly everything had no flavor. The service was good, our drinks were kept full. There were flies around the food, which is gross. This one just isn't it.
