    Wednesday night dinner on friends recommendation. It was very good and exceeds the 3.5 rating. I started with the grapefruit rose, it is good for those that like a sweet rose it was a tad sweet for me. I had a glass of pinot noir after and that was very smooth. I had the lamb chops with a side of cheese grits and broccoli. The pork chops were great, I asked for medium and they were cooked that way. The chops were seasoned nicely and came with a side of mint jelly that gave that savory sweet mix. The cheese grits had a good flavor, the only critique was they could have been a bit thicker and creamier. No complaints on the broccoli. The service was outstanding, our server worked hard and was super pleasant. She had no issue with splitting a check with a party of 8. Good experience.

    Attended the wine tasting at the POND today and it was awesome. We tasted several different wines, red and white, and it was only $25. The wines were good and the Sommelier Alan Bass was awesome. I highly recommend coming once it's offered again.

    I'm in town for the week and The Pond was a dinner choice for me and my closest 20 friends. Ha. Despite the large group, the staff was super gracious and took amazing care of us all. I tried the beignets as an appetizer, and they were warm & delicious. I chose the Chicken Parmesan and my co-worker tried the Grown Adult Chicken Fingers. The Chicken Parmesan was surprisingly good. The chicken was seasoned to be mild but the marinara sauce had a kick. Yum! My co-worker loved the hot honey glaze on the chicken tenders and couldn't stop with the rice pilaf. All in all, I don't think you can go wrong here.

    I've tried Pond several times since my initial experience and felt they deserved an updated review. My husband and I have only dined at the bar thus far. This restaurant is very popular amongst the locals and visitors. On any given night, there could be a private party in any of the many areas that the restaurant rents out. On their website, there is a link for online ordering, yet I'm not sure if it is functional since online ordering is never available. Warner Robins AFB is only a few miles away, so if there is a conference or an event, sometimes the restaurant will be reservation only. The staff is always friendly and they work as a team to give the best service to their patrons. My drink of choice is always the Kettle One lemon drop martini, and my husband has had the smoked Old Fashioned and their margaritas. I always enjoy the food. My favorite is the Red Snapper with shrimp and brussel sprouts as a side. If you are in the area and want an upscale ambiance, definitely add Pond to your list.

    Chocolate smeared on the table from the night prior. Tables were not cleaned.

    We chose The Pond to celebrate our 10th anniversary (which was clearly noted in our reservation) with our kids, based on all the amazing reviews--especially about the staff like Kelly, TJ, and Katlyn. Unfortunately, our experience did not match what others raved about. Our server, Noah, was quiet, sultry, and sullen throughout the evening. It felt like he wanted nothing to do with being at work. I made several attempts to engage with him, but was shrugged off with awkward chuckles and minimal responses. Even when I asked for a recommendation between two dishes, the only input he gave was "you get more" with one of them--not exactly the kind of thoughtful service I was hoping for at this price point. To make matters worse, our table (picture attached) was dirty when we were seated. There was chocolate smeared on one side, as if it hadn't been cleaned from the night before. For what was supposed to be a milestone celebration, this was a huge disappointment. The food itself was decent but not extraordinary--certainly not what I'd expect for a $150 evening out. And while we could hear Kelly and Katlyn nearby absolutely lighting up the room for their guests, our own experience felt more like an upscale fast food stop than fine dining. We were really excited to finally try The Pond after searching for a true fine dining experience in Warner Robins, but unfortunately this wasn't it. I feel cheated out of what should have been a special memory for our 10th anniversary.

    We came here for my birthday a couple of years back and thoroughly enjoyed it. Visited again today and loved sitting outside enjoying the view of the lake! Lighting was good, our waitress was wonderful and I had the glazed salmon. It was delicious. I hope this Family owned restaurant does well and stays in our area!

    We made a reservation & asked to be seated outside based on the photos of the beautiful photos online. Upon arrival we were seated in the bar area. And told the outside was booked for a party, that was disappointing because the view was a major part in our booking. The bar area was underwhelming. I will say the drinks & the loaded potato & steak soup were very good. I didn't care for my catfish dinner.

    Spicy cajun pasta

    We dined here over the weekend, Sunday afternoon. It was my first visit & I will definitely return. The atmosphere is very nice. I would not call it fine dining but I also would not dine here wearing sweatpants or athleisure/gym attire. It is a great spot for date night. The view is beautiful & the ambience is great. The restaurant is good for families & looks like it could also accommodate a large party. Parking is plentiful & free (always a pleasure). Our server, Kristen J, was very polite & insightful. We really appreciated her advice on menu items. Thanks, Kristen J! Now to the food... one of the main reasons people read restaurant reviews. Our table ordered the oxtails (the special for the day), lamb chops, & spicy cajun pasta. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The oxtails were HUGE!!! & from what I sampled, delicious! For $28, that was a great deal! They came with a side of mashed potatoes & 2 biscuits. My family member also ordered a side of collard greens and macaroni and cheese. They said the macaroni & cheese was good. The greens, not so much. The spicy cajun pasta looked good & my family member enjoyed them. The lamb chops were seasoned wonderfully. They were almost tender enough to cut with a butter knife, because they do not provide a steak knife (I'm sure you can get one if you ask), and I made do. You get 4 nice sized lollipop chops for $51 (with 2 signature sides). The only issue was the temperature. I asked for them to be cooked medium rare & only one came out that way. The other 3 were medium well. I didn't want to send them back because I was hungry & had already started in on them but I did mention it to our server, Kristen J. For $51, they should all have been cooked to order! I have no issue paying top dollar for great food but I think they were overpriced, even though they had a good taste to them. Overall, I would return but I will not be ordering the lamb chops again. Maybe the oxtails, if they are still on the menu.

    Nice place if you like bland food this is the place for you. I don't think seasonings make it in the building. Bring your grandma or grandpa here they won't have to worry about their blood pressure. Food is tasteless. The beignets are good that's about it.

    My Bride and I both ordered burgers and were not disappointed; they were cooked to order and were…read moredelicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant has a good vibe to it. There are 100 beer taps with a huge variety, one of which was a really tasty IPA. We were taken care of by the two Taylor's, one male, one female, but both were great with which to deal with. Strongly recommend this restaurant.

    McKenzie was our server, she was great and put up with all of my friends crazy comments…read more Street corn queso 8/10 "Warm white queso loaded with roasted corn medley, jalapeños, and finished with a drizzle of lime sour cream." - Queso was good. Definitely thought it was going to have a lot more corn though. And there was also black beans in it. What would make it a 10: more corn, no beans. Santa Fe eggrolls 8/10 "Three crispy egg rolls stuffed with seasoned chicken, sweet corn, melted cheeses, and peppers. Served with our smoky chipotle ranch for dipping." - Good flavor. One of the egg rolls was completely empty. Also nowhere in this description does it say black beans but there was black beans in them- won't order again because of this. What would make it a 10: no beans, and make sure they all have something inside. Grown-Up Dilla 7/10 "A golden grilled flour tortilla stuffed with a blend of jack and cheddar cheeses, fire-roasted jalapeños, roasted corn medley, and tender grilled chicken. Served with your choice of dipping sauce." - got the jalapeños on the side. Lots of cheese. Little chicken. Definitely could have been grilled a little crispier. And again- black beans- gross!! Dipping sauce we chose was the Chipotle ranch- yum, and a none-to-mild spice level! What would make it a 10: more chicken, no beans. Super upset that everything I ordered had black beans in it and NOWHERE in the menu descriptions said that there was black beans in ANYTHING. Had they included it on the menu and I had known each of these dishes had beans- I would have never ordered any of this food and would have picked other menu items without beans in them.
