Ponderosa Steak House: Reviews & Ratings
Service was amazing food was good salad was so fresh and the cook will cook up fresh food on order Would definately recommend
My husband has very fond memories of our local Ponderosa as a child on visits with his grandparents.the locations in our area closed long ago, so I scoped one out on our recent road trip. I was immediately transported to the 80's when I stepped in. This location has done a wonderful job of brightening up the walls, fresh paint, fitting decor... all while holding on to the aesthetic that made them popular. The store still featured booths and wood panels and the buffet, but was appropriately updated. It was clean and kept up well I was elated to find that the Buffett options hadn't changed much from my memory. The crispy chicken wings, breaded shrimp, and mashed potatoes met every expectation. Service was friendly and helpful. The price was great and I left feeling satisfied and almost giddy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Or should I say 'happy trails?'
Ponderosa has always been my favorite restaurant specially as a kid with my grandparents. As there is only a few of them left in Michigan, I stopped in today on my way up north with my dad. This by far is my favorite one. The food is amazing it's clean and the staff is great and friendly. I didn't get pictures but man I'm so impressed!! Kevin was our server, he is the best server I have ever had in my life!!!!!!! If I could give this over 5 stars I would give em 10!
Happy to see the Ponderosa Sign. Steak was good and salad bar was great. Desert s were fantastic! Our server Melody was outstanding. Food was the way I remembered it. The banana bread is made in house. It was worth the trip.If you never been to a Ponderosa, you should give it a try.
This is a legend of a restaurant! All the memories of your childhood and the ponderosa favorites are right here. The salad bar is plentiful and fresh! The Ribeye was cooked perfectly and our waiter was absolutely amazing. If you leave here hungry it's your fault as the selection and service are wonderful. There's plenty of room to enjoy times with friends or even if you like to have a intimate evening. I would recommend if you're ever in Claire Michigan to visit ponderosa!
