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.

We had our Thanksgiving meal here this year. It was a buffet style, reservations only…read more I was really pleased with the selection and the servers did a great job of keeping our plates cleared and beverages refilled. This restaurant is in a small town and kind of out in nowhere so kudos to you having staff available to work. The turkey breast was juicy and flavorful but I gotta admit, my favorite was the snickerdoodle cookies on the dessert table. I had two. I work in a large food service job so I know how tough it is to pull off. Well done.

In the past, I've had their catered food for a private business meeting, a holiday lunch with coworkers, a family dinner, and lunch with a friend and everything has been perfect. The dining room is nicely decorated, the views of the golf course are beautiful, and it feels like a more fancy environment that is still comfortable. I live more than an hour's drive from Defiance or I would visit more frequently.

Ya know what? I don't do buffets very often at all, because I don't really eat a whole lot and…read moresteer clear of carbs, but it was the 4th of July, our power had been down for 2 days, and I wasn't able to cook anything for the 4th of July for the first time in my life, so mom wanted to go out to eat They were super busy, which most people see a busy restaurant, they tend to steer clear, but at buffets, the busier the restaurant, the better and fresher the food because they're constantly changing it out and making new food. 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! I want that Mongolian barbecue!!! ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Pretty solid buffet in my opinion. Definitely some options are better than others but that's the…read morebeauty of taking a little bit of everything and getting a second plate of what you like. My favorite was the cooked to order hibachi, loaded mine up with lots of steak and chicken and it was delicious. I also loved the chicken skewers. I got a fresh batch from the kitchen on my second plate and it was great. Great service and only $15 for all you can eat dinner is pretty great

First time here! A very nice place with yummy fresh food! The selections are typical Chinese buffet…read morefare but sometimes are limited compared to bigger establishments. The sushi for instance was limited to small California rolls. The cold peel yourself shrimp was small but fresh. The Crab Rangoon was outstanding! The soups were really good and hot. The servers seemed capable! My favorite part of my meal was the huge bowl of tapioca pudding...I could have bathed in that stuff! The decor is ready for a major update!!! Give this mom and pop a try when the others in town are packed with people just off the highway!

It is a pretty standard Chinese Buffet. Bigger than it looks inside…read more There are 4 or 5 bars to choose off and most of what I had was good. 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.
