Took the kids here to experience something I did with my Grandparents as a child and had great memories of. It was a great experience once again. I ordered a ribeye steak, med. Rare, which was cooked perfect. The seasoning, and how thin it was sliced (probably 3/4") wasn't what I'm used to. That's not a complaint at all, it was executed exceptionally well, just a heads up that it's cooked a little different than many other steak restaurant chains. The salad bar was exactly as I remembered it (except for no giant block of cheddar cheese...) and as advertised. It was all fresh and very clean. My 5 and 9 year old are now big fans.

Our family went out for a last get together here. This was our go to for mothers day and easter every year when i was growing up. It sucks that they are closing. It makes me so sad to know their closing. We had a great time but it was bittersweet. Our server was great and stayed on top of drink refils and making sure we will satisfied. Its tragic to see such a great place go and fade into my memories, but i will never forget this place and how they never let us down. Thank you for all the amazing years with amazing service. You guys will be dearly missed.

My husband and myself go to Bonanza at least once a month, always get our dinners to go. They treat us very well. We love their steaks and the baked potatoes and I can always get whatever i want on my salad, love this place!

Food was hot and tasty. They will be going out of business on February 6th 2021. Please get out there and grab some dinner before they are gone. 40 years on the Des Moines area off I-80 and NE 14 ST. Get out there before they close.

We were charged for extras that came on the salad bar we also paid for. Burger was way over done (burnt). You would think if a burger was sent back that a manger would visit, but the wasn't one to be seen. And an hour or two after eating it made a quick and painful exit out the back. We will not be returning.

Our server was the best server I've ever had in a restaurant, period! Food was ok. I grew up eating in Bonanzas when I was a kid, but I haven't seen one in 30 years. It was a trip down memory lane.

Excellent service and food. Our waitress Ginger was fantastic. BONANZA went above and beyond to insure 6 ft of distance, they supply face masks, plastic gloves, and hand sanitizer, Cannot express enough how much we enjoyed having dinner there, food was wonderful, and all the effort and time they are putting into making sure there customers can come enjoy a meal and feel relaxed knowing they are taking every precaution. Definitely was noticed and appreciated immensely! Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you BONANZA:)

We came to this place for dinner. we heard about this place from quite a few people. Well, it was very nice. The staff were extremely nice and we felt fantastic. The food was just great. We had a great time and we will visit this place again. We recommend this place to all.

Decent meal for a reasonable price. I only ever get the buffet so, no comment on steaks. The fried chicken is always good, pulled pork was exceptional today. Need to work on the Mac and cheese, it was runny.

I forgot to take pictures. My family and I had not even here for years, but not alot of buffets available. We ordered an entree and the buffet since there wasn't a lot of meat on the buffet. Got chicken strips and top sirloin. Sirloin was good but chicken strips seemed to be super small. Buffet was good and filling. The only thing I have a complain on was the serve wasn't very attentive to our table. Otherwise was a good experience and would go again in the future.
