Ponderosa Steak House

our family of 5 ate there on Sun. We think the food is fairly priced. I checked my receipt after getting home & noticed they had charged us $1.99 for a glasss of water, the same price as pop. I can see a restuarant charging for a bottle of water but a glass of water! Our son is diabetic, like I am, he does not like tea, he does not like diet pop. He does like diet snapple & diet flavored fruit teas. If his blood sugar is off he will drink a regular pop, but he can't drink too much of it though. So he ordered water since he had already had some regular pop while at work to keep the lows & highs level. He can't always get his breaks & lunches on time to eat to keep the jitters away, so when he feels them coming on he keeps a sweet pop on hand. At home he drinks water only. Lucky, I like unsweetened tea, but he does not. I think this is a form of discrimination against diabetics. Why don't they & other restuarants offer more to drink, at least don't charge for water. A regular paying customer, but maybe not much longer at restuarants that charge for water. Edie H. more

This is one of the places that we usually go to when we have company from out of town. They have great steaks but the buffet is what we really go for. The buffet has something for everyone. The main courses include chicken, tacos, pizza, soups, spaghetti, fish and meatloaf. The side dishes include salads, hot vegetables, fruits, rolls, etc. They also have a dessert bar and a soft serve ice cream bar. They keep the pop glasses full and the coffee coming. I have always found this place to be clean and the staff friendly. The definitely believe that the customer is always right. more
