Food was more than excellent, mixed drinks the greatest, service was excellent (we sat at the bar) and the whole ambiance was comfortable and relaxing. Went there on a Saturday night - sat at the bar, they were busy with a large group and most of the tables were seated. Had the steak bites and the lobster Rangoon appetizers, the hazy lavender and peach sangria for drinks. Wish the Distillery had been open... oh well. BTW, this was recommended by Margaret in Vision Wear at WalMart!

I made a reservation on Google and my friend and I promptly seated at a high top table near a wall. The noise level is moderate but I was able to have casual conversation with my friend. He ordered a burger with mashed potatoes and a Coke and I had the brisket tacos with sweet potatoes and an espresso Martini. The Espresso Martini was more on the creamy side but still good nonetheless. While I believe the guacamole was store bought, it meshed really well with the brisket, cotija cheese and whatever else was on the brisket. The brisket was all protein, no fatty parts and tender. The sweet potatoes fries had sea salt flakes that balanced the sweetness. They were perfect. Everything was really good and my friend enjoyed his meal as well.

Best bar in town. Only bar in town?…read more Either way. Decent margaritas, frosty mugs for draft beer. Pool table (classic style with woven leather pockets). Air hockey table (out of commission as of 9/10/2022). Engraved wood everything - tables, chairs, assorted decor. Somebody shelled out some beaucoup bucks to decorate this place. Definite small-town vibes here. Didn't eat, but the pervasively Spanish-speaking staff makes me think it's worth a shot the next time we're in town. 5 stars, no complaints. Walking distance from the Best Western (which I decidedly would not recommend... but if you end up there, at least Amigos is right across the parking lot).

This location is one of only 16 Ponderosa Steakhouse restaurants left open in the United States…read more.. This is the only one remotely close to Missouri... Yet it's still a 6 hour, 45 minute drive from Blue Springs, Missouri. But I'l tell you; it was certainly worth the long drive to get there. The salad bar and buffet were both incredibly fresh. Everything on the buffet tables were well made and kept hot and fresh. I was very impressed!!! Our steaks were cooked until they reached a juicy and tender state of perfection. I really wish Kansas City still had a Ponderosa Steakhouse location. Sadly, we don't anymore. We will definitely be driving back to Illinois again sometime soon, just to enjoy another delightful meal! Thank you Ponderosa! Our trip to eat here, sure didn't disappoint. We're already craving another one of your wonderful Ponderosa steaks!

Sometimes you just need something hot to eat before calling it a night when refrigerated salads & wraps have run their course. And last night Denny's hit the spot. My server was a young man named Kolby who absolutely on top of things. Apparently there was a wrestling tournament in town & this Denny's was hopping. As I sat at my table Kolby, Addy & Patty were hustling between seating people, bringing food out of the kitchen, spending a moment talking with the regulars & wiping down tables. They were always on the move & very polite despite the hectic pace. I had the Brisket Melt sandwich which has become a new favorite of mine & it was delicious. They run a good operation here & the food and friendly service was just what I needed after a long day behind the wheel. I highly recommend stopping here when you get a chance.
