We’ve been a household name since the 60’s, and our mission’s stayed the same: to provide wholesome family dining at a fair price. By maintaining our quality steakhouse and bountiful buffets, we’re still the place when it comes to revisiting or updating your family memories.
Happiness unlimited, freedom by the plateful.
That’s Ponderosa & Bonanza's claim, backed by the all-American way. We’re giving you the freedom to choose what you put on your plate, just like you would at home. With honest-to-goodness value and over-the-top hospitality, we've got the friendliest feast in town. A prime steakhouse in its prime, we've been galloping along since the ’60s, and we’re in new territory now.
While we’ve claimed our stake in steak and held on for decades, we’ve expanded the menu to include all sorts of good grub. After all, we’re America’s kitchen, and we’re celebrating our melting pot culture with food. Ponderosa & Bonanza have got that home away from home kind of feel, with a comfortable dining room setting and farmland decor on our walls. We care about our sourcing and seek out ways to remind you of the hard-working folks that make a place like ours possible. Whether you’re joining us for your 30th wedding anniversary, a birthday party, or are simply seeking a break from putting dinner on the table, we're the place for any occasion.
It’s Americana at its finest. So what are you waiting for?
