Now, granted we were there within an hour and a half of closing, so that probably had a lot to do with it. The employees weren't that friendly and didn't seem happy to be there. I'd rate this as a 1-star as far as the variety of foods for a buffet, especially for a casino. The handmade tacos were outstanding! The lady who came around to refill our drinks and remove our dirty plates was SUPER friendly and we would gladly sit in her section again.Ĭons - I have been to Ponderosa buffets that have had a bigger selection. The salad was standard fare and the meats were all at least average and above. Pros - There were several desserts that were top notch, one being a cake that my wife said was one of the best she's ever had at a buffet, and she's a dessert connoisseur. My wife was excited about that to say the least. Seriously, one third of their buffet is dedicated to desserts. There are three stations on the buffet - salad, dessert, and vegetables/meats. We went on a Tuesday and having the Fortune Club card dropped the buffet price (drink included) from. If you only get one thing from this review, it's that you want to make sure to get a Fortune Club card before eating at the buffet.
