We were looking for an affordable lunch, and we stumbled upon the Ponderosa Steakhouse. It was a great choice. They offer a buffet and menu items. We decided to explore the buffet options, and there were plenty. There was spaghetti, tacos, meatloaf, pizza, rice, chicken wings, etc. The food was very good and it was hot too. There was a salad and dessert bar. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It wasn't busy on a Sunday afternoon. We walked out with our bellies full.

We grew up on ponderosa. Unfortunately we don't have any by us anymore. So when we are in Orlando we always stop by for dinner at least once. Gives us the feels. Buffet are always filling. Steaks are on point. But the people are always so friendly and welcoming 🙌

Absolutely loved it here.
Yes it's a bit dated and tips need to be in cash but the service is spot on. The food is really good
I had a rib eye steak that was cooked to perfection.
The cashier even went out of their way to let me pay a tip via the till as I didn't have any cash.
Really helpful folk and on point with drinks and top ups.
Super friendly and a great meal for a family and very very well priced.
I hope they keep running for many years to come and will definitely be back in the future.
Top marks.

This place has been around forever. Nothing special but it's maintained nicely. The cost is good for the area. The staff is helpful and friendly. Quick place to eat in a busy area. Worth trying out if the family is picky.

I ordered the 12 oz ribeye, which was fantastic, and added the buffet to the meal. For the price and the amount/ quality of the food you can't go wrong at this establishment.

Went for breakfast and loved it! Chocolate Chip pancakes were delicious! Also likes the biscuits and gravy and grits! So good!

First time here. Haven't been to a ponderosa in years. This place was amazing and I want to return. All the food was good, the place was clean and the servers were so helpful and friendly. It's connected to a gift shop. Reasonable prices. There was a lot of parking but not too many handicapped spots. There's a note on the door stating that the ice cream machine was down but it was working and it was good. Check out my pics and video for more info

It has been so long since I have been to a Ponderosa the one in New York we use to go to closed for good so when I saw there was one right near our hotel we had to go. My daughter and I did the buffet and it was so good. They have so much great looking food. My favorite was the rolls with the butter on top I had 2 of them and the tacos and meatloaf it was all just so good.

This is my son’s favorite restaurant. It is always a fun treat to come here. We had a wide variety of entrees and all of them were cooked perfectly and tasted very good.
The service was amazing. Vernon was such a nice and friendly server! Ask for him if you ever go. He’s been at Ponderosa for 26 years. He has great pride in his restaurant.
We appreciate the clean atmosphere and the wide variety of selections on the buffet as well. The pot roast and mashed potatoes were so good even though I was stuffed. The soft serve and choice of toppings was a hit with my kids. I think my son had two cones. Haha
We are sad we have to come all the way to FL to enjoy this restaurant. We wish they had more locations. Thanks for the great experience!!!

Food is typical. Its good for when your looking for something fast. Dry and bland. The servers were very attentive. Place was very clean.

Wish they had more chicken varieties to choose from..but it is always great to return to a 90's classic. Otherwise, the broccoli soup is delicious and so are the meatballs. Buffet is worth coming in for...$19 and some change including tax for buffet and soda..after a long day of driving, it hits the spot. Dessert selection could be better though as well...

We haven't visited a Ponderosa Steak House for months thinking all the Ponderosas in Orlando were closed!!
but we found out that this one is still open and we Thank the heavens for it...Now we come back everytime we can and I love it even more.
My favorites the sirloin tips are always delicious
The service of the waiters is very attentive. the salad bar is my favorite part of it all...
I don't know why? but if I buy every ingredient at my house and make the same salad it doesn't taste as good as yours!!

It soo sad to see this restaurant is on its last breath, they have good food and great service but everything is more expensive and you can see no Love to the atmosphere and building from owners.

Well , what can I say about this restaurant ? , it's just fantastic.. the food , the staff . everything honestly they couldn't be more pleased to help you in every way. We've more or less eaten here twice a day . Breakfast and tea everyday for two weeks . The staff started to think we lived here � instead of being from England . Just brilliant love the place and I would definitely highly recommend this to anyone visiting Florida. Thank you , you guys are just amazing � x

My spouse family reunion banquet dinner was held here. Even though we got a discount on the buffet, it was still too high. The food was horrible...no seasoning or flavor whatsoever!!! The only thing that I could eat was the salad that I personally made smh! The waiters were the only good thing about this place in my opinion...very attentive and kind. The entire family agreed to NEVER go back for any future dinners.�
Lee Hopkins

Waiter was great the food was great but management really sucked and if they read this i hope they remember me me and my family ate there my lil girl wasn't hungry but i noticed management kept watching my table thinking she was going to get a plate if she was hungry i would have paid for her a plate or did they only say that cause i was black if my wife and child wasn't there i would have gave you clowns a piece of my mind

Haven’t been there since it left Canada. Was excited to go as I rememver it was good when I was young.
Food was bland and not really hot. Server was great. Wings were good.
Judy Platt
From the cashier to the server to the food, our entire experience was very pleasant. We were there under rather stressful conditions, our time spent there eased our stress immensly.
