“ Friendly staff. The kids love the variety and desserts included. Excellent salad bar! ”
“ Some of the bad reviews on here are way out of line. My friends and I are out here on a motorcycle trip and we stayed in the hotel and got dinner. I had the half rack of ribs and a sweet potato. It was a solid meal and the salad was very fresh. Service was good sweet tea was good. It was better than expected. Really good experience. ”
“ Yep a few of these left, who knew! Large clean room, friendly staff, very fair prices. We had 2 servings 6oz tips with baked potatoes, added 2 Buffett, 2 drinks and out of there for $40. Everything was hot, the steak pieces were a little large but cooked well, plenty of onion and mushrooms. The Buffett was fully stocked cold stuff cold and hot stuff hot. Meatloaf, wings, soups, Mac n cheese, cake, salad and all the toppings. A really extensive variety of items from apps, entrees and desserts. Pepsi products also a nice touch. ”
“ How does this restaurant have only 2.5 stars!!!??? I loved everything about this experience. I haven't been to a Bonanza in over 40 years, maybe 50 years (when I was 5), and I only remember that I miss Bonanza. So, when I saw it next to this Quality Inn on a recent visit here, I had to try it. It reminds you of a Ponderosa. In fact, I think that Ponderosa and Bonanza are now part of the same parent company. The atmosphere is one that I particularly like. I like the booths and quiet atmosphere. Since it's mostly a buffet, the service was commensurate with a staff at a buffet. I have missed big salad bars and buffets. This was reminiscent of that era. The salad bar was fresh and mostly full with a really good variety. You could make a salad of your dreams here. And, eat all you want. There is also a soup bar. Today they had chicken noodle and tomato basil. I didn't try the chicken noodle, but the tomato basil was absolutely fantastic, and would make an honorable mention. In addition to the food, there is a taco bar that looked good. But how much could one person eat? Next time. The food had everything you could think of. Meatloaf, fried chicken, chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and gravy, orange chicken, green bean casserole, a corn casserole (that deserves an honorable mention), cabbage, an "unstuffed cabbage"' which was the only thing I didn't like, salmon, baked beans, hush puppies, yams, stuffing, carrots, macaroni and cheese, pork pot roast, a pizza bar, a desert bar and an ice cream machine. Whew! The sticky buns were phenomenal! And, even though I was full, I had to eat it. Overall, 5 easy stars! Everything was good, some was great and only one thing was not for me. ”
