Went there yesterday it was almost $70 for 2 adults and 3 kids, the first time ever going and i will not be returning, all the food was either under cooked or over cooked, very few things to choose from, i felt like i was at a kfc only thing to eat was salad, chicken, mac and cheese mashed potatoes and gravy. Save your money and go to McDonald's because honestly the food is better and cheaper!

I ate the spaghetti, which was good. The sauce was tasty but the noodles were absolutely saturated in water/butter so it made everything too wet. The buttered rolls were sweet and satisfying. The fried chicken tasted phenomenal but was a bit greasy for my taste. The sides were all decent (coleslaw, potato salad, mashed potatoes). The clam chowder was good as well. As far as the desserts are concerned, there was a raspberry mousse I tried. The texture was strange and the flavor was as well. Almost as if they overdid the tart flavor additive. I always love their apple cobbler with some warm caramel! The service was pleasant and inviting. Atmosphere gets 3 stars because the bathroom and floor, as well as the counters (especially the dessert counter) were dirty. Overall, their food was tasty and I recommend it for a good meal with a little variety.

Definitely was not worth the amount they charge to eat at a buffet. Not a lot of food available more of what the elderly would eat. The waiter we had she was very nice.

Place was just as I remember it. Old as me. The food was horrible. I actually thought I was going to have a flash back when it was actually a good place to go. "SIKE!" I wouldn't recommend this place to family and friends. That's just my opinion. ?Parking: Parking was plentifulKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Most definitely

Worst buffet in the tri-cities that I've been to. Very disappointing!
I was there yesterday Feb 29th 2024 and while I was up grabbing ice cream I heard a young man puking in the bathroom then come out and go tell another coworker in the back he was puking and that he couldn't leave. I see that as a health code violation because if they have a fever or are puking they are to leave right away and this young man was still there when we left. Treat your employees better when sick us customers dont want are food handled by sick employees. Just because covid is over doesn't mean it's not still around killing people.

Good food but not as big of buffet as most ponderosa's. And employees should comment about customers loud enough for them to hear, numerous times.

Excellent buffet for big appetite kids like me! All the homestyle favorites and plenty of desserts. I love coming here, I think I prefer Ponderosa to Golden C.
