The saying, “ everything does not appear as it seems” describes this place. Our plane landed and we were looking for a place to sit and the food was already prepared…. a buffet!! This place was first on the search. When we arrived, we were not sure if we were going to get out and eat. The restaurant was very dingy looking on the outside and inside. We were allowed to look at the buffet before we paid. The food looked good so we decided to stay and eat. It was not crowded and the price was decent for two adult buffets and drinks. We were actually surprised. The restaurant could use a coat of paint and some new furniture. Step into 2018. If we are in the area, we would definitely eat here again.

I mean it’s Ponderosa, and it’s really sad to me that all the ponderosas in Michigan seem to be closing. This is comfort food from like when I was in the fifth grade and there was a Ponderosa next to the Catholic school that I used to go to and I would go there probably once a week. Dude it’s Dirt Cheap to get the salad bar here that has those chicken wings that there are the exact same as they were when I was little and the rolls are the same too. And it’s not going to be the most amazing food on Earth but it is the most amazing cheap food on Earth as far as all-you-can-eat goes.

Food was pretty good I really love the salad bar the crab salad is on point! The wing dings are good a little to salty but still good. They had ribs on the bar the day I went they were really good. Place is clean and great service! I’ll definitely go back!

I ordered take out wings that took quite a while to get to me so I assume they cook to order. The taste wasn’t as I remembered the last time I was here as well as other visits to closed Ponderosa. In waiting you could see the help was active but the mood was very bland. My son even pointed out how with a little effort they could make the place look better. I know the chain is suffering as all older chains are in this new world. I wish them good luck in the struggle but would be surprised if they were closed in the next few months.

Unclean , unorganized and just unappetizing and over priced. Restrooms haven’t been detailed clean in who knows when!

I liked it. I came in sceptical because of the reviews people gave but it wasn’t bad. The food was good the wait staff was fine. There was some food when we came in that looked like it was sitting for awhile at the buffet but they replaced it when they got busy, more people showed up. I got the buffet it was good. But the one thing that was off putting was the ceiling and overall age of the building and stuff inside. The ceiling needs to be replaced it was not pretty and they need to update it. I remember going to ponderosa as a kid ( not this one) but it looked exactly how it did what like 10+ years ago inside. Same layout and everything. Other than that it was a great time and good food. Yes I would go back and eat there.

The food was not that great to be honest. The bathrooms are disgusting. The there was not a lot of choices to choose from and nor the dessert. The cookies were either hard or soggy. The ice cream was freezer burnt and the prices are too high for that food. If I could rate this a 0, I would. That 14-15 dollars was not worth it never returning in my life.

I happened across this oldé but Goode while looking for something else. Stopped by a couple of days later for lunch. I ordered the salad bar and had to practically crawl outta there. The salad was fresh and crisp. The hot food was hot and seasoned well. The desserts were fresh. Not bad for $9 & change. Bathroom was clean. staff was on top of things. Will definitely go back.
