I forgot to take pictures cause I was chomping it down. Let's start off with the Apple Butter on the dinner rolls, delicious. The butter was creamy and very flavorful. The rolls were fluffy and yet still thick. Had the Grilled Ham with Mashed Potatoes and Veggie Beef Soup. The soup hit the spot to start my meal off. When that thick cut of ham was placed in front of me, my mouth was watering already. The first bite was juicy and crispy. Grilled just right. Add in a creamy with chunks mashed potatoes. And a great gravy.. I could not have been happier, I am still longing for more! The atmosphere was homestyle for sure. Cozy, felt like I was out in the country at grandmas. Will def be back when I'm in the area again.

We dined here last year (see previous review) and again when in the area the other day. The…read moremanhattan with turkey was good, with flavorful gravy. The chicken and noodles were fine, but we thought the turkey had more flavor. We've debated both times if we should get the buffet, but on neither visit did it have roast beef nor pie. Pie is the main reason for us dining here and our appetites just don't warrant more than one plate of food (especially all those heavy starches) AND pie, so it isn't worth the extra cost for us. Although again, if the buffet included pie, we'd get it. Also...we were told a 10-15 minute wait but waited more than 30. The hostess claimed they called us on the speaker but we were no more than 20 feet from the hostess stand the ENTIRE time. None of the three of us heard our name. They took my phone number when we arrived but I got no call nor text. People entered and were seated before us. So I went up and asked. She claimed to have called us and rolled her eyes at me.

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.

Ya know what?

It was a typical Chinese buffet, but they had frog legs and crawdads, and a few other off Chinese types of fare. They even had sushi, which absolutely wasn't the best, but it did the trick. After my second plate of food, I noticed they had a Mongolian barbecue! I was SO bummed that I didn't see it right when I walked in, because I would have started with that! I didn't take any pictures of my food, but it was all pretty good. I tried probably 70% of what they were offering. Our server and what Im assuming, owners or family thereof, were sort of different, maybe just busy and in a rush, but didn't seem the most cheery, but then again it's also probably a culture thing. Our server did check on us often though. The guy and woman at the counter where you pay were pretty stern and lacking of personality. Typical Chinese decorum, but they also have handwritten notes on the doors and the counters which was kind of weird. Despite how busy it was, it was still easy to talk and understand, I wasn't overly loud. Solid 4 stars. My mom lives up the road, sonthe next time I'm in town, we'll probably hit this place again!

The lo mien had a funny taste to me but that could have just been the water in the area. The lady stocking the bars understood rotation, she pulled each pan out, put the new one in and poured what was left on top. My only complaint was that they had a kid (10 or 11) on the cash register. He did not know what an itemized receipt is and had to get help. If that was the only problem, we had a good day.
