"This is our go to place for breakfast with the family and now we have went a couple of times for lunch with coworkers. The quantity and quality of food has never disappointed. I normally get the Cheesy Bruxie, which is their take on a grilled cheese. The waffles always come out just the right temperature and the cheese with some hot sauce are delicious. Getting a side of their waffle fries is always a good idea. I could eat those on their own for my meal. I also have ate their Irish Nacho's without bacon. This item is very filling, but if you don't eat fast, it will get soggy. I do not recommend taking this item to go, unless you like eating soggy fries. The Creme Brulee waffle is one of my favorites. I know they have changed their menu around a little bit, so I'm not sure if this is still available, but if so, definitely worth ordering this one. The Green Eggs and Ham waffle without ham was also good. Again, I'm not sure if this item is still available. Ask to replace the ham with avocado. The Nutella Banana waffle has chocolate oozing out of the waffle. This would be a recommendation for the kids. The Hot Chocolate and Coffee are also good choices for drinks. Their soda is not the usual fast food syrup soda, so it has a better taste to it. Again I have been going to Bruxie's for years now (this location and original location by Chapman) and have not had a bad experience so far. This is a family and dog friendly place."

"I used to love to eat at Ponderosa when I was young. Not having been to a Ponderosa in years, I was excited to share the experience with my family. What I ended being was very disappointed! When we first enter the restaurant, we were greeted by an unfriendly cashier. Then we were shocked at being asked to add our tip on to our bill before we had even eaten. The cashier explained this was their policy because elderly people are often too cheap to tip at the end. My husband asked if they gave military discounts. The cashier said that they did with ID. I asked if she needed to see all our ID 's. She said no but never explained that the discount was only being applied to the service members meal. We understand that this is sometimes the policy but it should have been explained more clearly. The buffet presentation was good, however it definitely did not live up to its appearance. The meat selections were cold and extremely salty. All three potato options tasted like paper and the gravy was horrible. I tried to flavor it up with their no-name steak sauce but that made it worse. The coleslaw tasted like pure vinegar. My 12 year old said the mac and cheese was disgusting. She wouldn 't even eat it. The dessert was tasteless. The other thing I really didn 't like was the organization of the buffet. The seafood sauce was with the desserts, which were split between the pasta and meat table and on another table with pizza. The only tolerable part of the whole dinner was that we had a nice server, who always had our plates cleared and our cups filled. To round off an all-a-round bad visit, we asked to see a manager to discuss the lack of military discount. The manager offered to discount all our 10% and that money. However, when he returned he informed us that he did not have the authority to offer us that refund. We would definite not return or recommend this restaurant to anyone."
