I was in the area showing dogs and was pleasantly surprised to see a PONDEROSA! GREAT childhood memories! Very pleased with how I was greated. Employees were professional and very friendly. It was like I have been going there for years. Table service was hands down the best I have had in years! Food was great! Good selection at the buffet as well. The buffet was loaded with all the "comfort" foods you could imagine! Great ice cream bar, pies, cookies, jello. Absolutely something for everyone! Thanks so much for a great experience!
