I ate lunch at the Ponderosa Steak House in Watertown, NY twice during my stay. Both times were for lunch. I ordered teh buffet only both times I was there and found it plentiful and yummy.
When you enter the Ponderosa, you are faced with a huge menu on the wall. You can select an entree of simply get the buffet. I chose the buffet. For both my daughter and myself, this cost me just over $10 for lucnh. That's about hte same as the cost of lunch at McDonalds and there is so much more and it's much healthier.
ON the buffet there is everything you could want to put in a salad so my daughter and I each started with very nice salads. There were 3 kinds of soup and we both tried the chicken noodle and enjoyed it. Then, there were a variety of hot foods and the selection changed in the two days we were there but both days there was a huge variety and enough to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
And, then you get to the desserts. There are a large variety of cakes and pies plus a soft serve ice cream machine and toppings to make an ice cream sundae. You can't leave this place hungry!
