I came here with a large party for a recent family reunion, and everything was only just okay. Our standout impression was our server - she handled us all single-handedly and ensured we all had everything we needed. She was phenomenal. Unfortunately, the food is just fine and the interior isn't very interesting at all. Dirty, dingy, outdated. I ordered their French Sandwich, which was interesting. The dressing they used, which I asked on the side to dip my fries in, was the most exciting part. Tangy, garlicky, slightly spicy (not really) contrary to my uncle's spice tolerance. Everyone else's food looked passable, but nobody pointed out anything they particularly enjoyed. A warning, their large salads are HUGE - think the size of the salad bowl they give you at Olive Garden. The bread they give is plain, with butter in single-serve containers. Not much to write home about, am I missing something?

We ordered the pigeon flavor which I highly recommend. We also ordered The Most Interesting Flavor in the world. It was good. I don't know if I'd get it again just personal preference. We wanted to see what it was since the menu has no description beyond, not hot, interesting. It's a sweet flavor which I think is made up of honey, butter and season salt. I included a picture. Lastly the fries were awful. They were all burnt. I'm not super picky and believe sauce can conquer most fries but that was not the case with these. They were just awful and went right into the trash. I

The entire wait staff is consistently friendly and customer focused, but we always request Lynda as our waitress for every one of our outings to Rachel's. Lynda enhances the dining experience with her warm, friendly, and caring personality, Lynda is very thoughtful and makes the dining experience personal by remembering your favorite menu items, preferences, and even recalling details about you and your family through conversation and engagement through the years. Lynda is the reason we have made Rachel's our favorite restaurant in Butler.

What a trip down memory lane with this one. It has been years since I have been to a Ponderosa…read moreSteak House. Actually over a decade. Since their numbers started dwindling and locations closing up for good, this looked like a brand that was going to be a forgotten brand. But there are a few that are still hanging in there. This location, I believe, is the last in Pennsylvania. To touch on memory lane again, this place holds a special place in the hearts of kids of the 80s and 90s. You all know what I mean. For those that don't, let me clue you in. If you happened to have perfect attendance for a grading period you would be awarded with a certificate that would allow you to enjoy the buffet at any Ponderosa location. It was the only good thing that came out of attending school when you were bored. You'd get to drown your sorrows in mashed potatoes and gravy because you were able to last every single day of school for that grading period. My brother and I were talking about stuffing our faces with countless rolls, wing dings, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, etc. My whole plan for finishing my Christmas shopping at the outlets all hinged on us coming here for our meal. I clued him into to it and he was on board. Pulling up outside was like our White Castle moment. We made it to the promised land. The familiar looking building welcomed us right inside. We walked down the hallway that leads you to the counter and stopped at the menu on the wall for a minute. Who were we kidding looking over the menu when we already knew we were going to be getting the buffet. Placed our order with the staff at the register, about $16 for the buffet and water to drink. I wasn't going to be a fool and get a soda or tea and fill up with the bubbly in my tummy. When we were led to our table the memories kept coming back. That green carpeting, the wood grain everywhere, and the islands of buffets. We were sat nearly in the middle of the restaurant and our server took our receipts for our drinks and we were let free to attack the buffet. That is after I wrestled with my chair to get it to come out of from under the table. This was quite possibly the worst part about this place. The chairs were heavy, pair that with the carpeting being like Velcro made for moving the chairs really hard. So much so that the lady behind me actually tumbled with the chair trying to get up at one point. (Hope she's OK and nothing was hurt but her pride) The buffet had a mix of items that encompass the chain(s). There were the familiar wings, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, stuffing, gravy, and so on from Ponderosa. But there were a few things spattered in from the Bonanza portion of this chain, Most notably, the BBQ meatballs. After spying everything the buffet had to offer I of course started with a salad. Topping it with just about everything under the sun and drowning it in dressing. I sped through the salad as I wanted to get to the hot food which would lead me to dessert. My brother and I were plate for plate at this point and we both went up for the hot food. We also both came back with two plates to cut back on the trips we were going to make. When I tell you that we sat there and gorged in silence, I'm not joking. Not a single word came out of our mouths as we sat there and just shoveled the food into our mouths. I honestly don't know how I managed to finish off four plates of hot food, but I did. Maybe it was the nostalgia of it all. I rallied and made my way to the dessert portion of the buffet for one final plate...or bowl. I grabbed a soup bowl and decided I was going to make a proper sundae my way here. Put some cookie on the bottom, hit it with the ice cream, and topped it with a ton of toppings. When all was said and done, I was bloated and filled to the brim. I have no idea why I went so hard here, but the discomfort I was going to feel for the next hour was well worth it. I wobbled a bit out the door, but left satisfied. Was it the best meal that we could have come across? Probably not. But did we enjoy it? Heck yeah, my brother and I reminisced the whole rest of the day about our trips here when we were younger. There aren't many buffets like this left out there, so you got to enjoy this place while the doors are still open.
