    ponderosa mmmmmm love it!

    just gotta say that we are in love with the Ponderosa on the 192 near the Las Vagas resturant. we go there every morning for late breakfast as the choice is mouth watering!!!!! and the kids eat free which is a great help as all they seem to do is fill their bowls with cornflakes! you even get a 10% discount ticket for the next day at the end of the meal.

    we were really impressed when are drinks were refilled even before we had finished them. why can't it be like that in the UK????

    i must say that we did try a few Ponderosa's, but that one was the best.

    does anyone else rate it as highly as we do?

    roll on november we are coming over for 41 nights hope they have got plenty of food, we starve ourselves for a week before we go!!!

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm just the thought of it!!!!!!!![]

    Hi Mumsey,

    We love the breakfasts in Orlando!

    Have you tried Golden Coral on the 192. That's our favourite. They make omelettes to order and fresh baking every 15 minutes. Delicious

    We liked the Pondarossa on the 192 near Walmart, We had breccie all over but the kids
    loved Denny's so much. Next year as we are going to try and do others things rather
    than the theme parks, We will more than likely have breccie at the Villa as we wont
    be rushing arounf so much,

    But we will have to go to Pondarossa again

    we didn't like golden coral, we tried a couple the first one really smelt horrible and our feet stuck to the carpet! a bit more expensive than the ponderosa, didn't like the long queue at the omlette counter, and far too many cakes and gateaux's for breakfast. i suppose each to there own, but i really thought the service in the ponderosa was the best. but then you had to chose the right ponderosa, one we tried further up on the 192 and it was horrible, obviously like the british though with uk football scarves everywhere. we still think the ponderosa opposite the thing that chucks you up in the air the best. i suppose you could go on that if you didn't enjoy your meal, then at least you could share it with everyone!!!! catch my drift ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    We never used that Pondarossa, we used Western Sizzlers sort of next door which we thought
    was the best

    We watched that thing one night and woohoo I'm going on that next year

    i watched these 2 kids aged around 10ish go up, and you can watch their faces on a tv screen, it made me laugh myself silly, their faces were a picture, but they have more guts than me because i would never go on that thing, i am too much of a wimp!!!

    i felt sick for them, and we had just eaten a lovely meal of steak and shrimp at the ponderosa. i really could eat every meal there, it is such a bargain.

    Do they still give you a mountain of Ponderosa Mints after every meal ?

    We used get so many that we'd end up taking some home with us.....and that was just after breakfast !

    Humm, we have tried a few of the Ponderosa's for both Breakfast and lunch (on different days of course !) We will have to give this one a try when we are over in December.

    It is good for lunch on the day you fly home - good price for all you can eat ready or a Very long flight home - they do really good mash potato and with three children ages 3, 6 and 12 we can satisfy all appetites !

    Got to admit we did not like Ponderosa at all when we tried it - went to the one opposite Old Town and found the food bad quality, the coffee very watery and the staff indifferent. The breakfast was $3.99 but by the time you add on the extras (coffee as extra if I remember) it came to the same price as most other breakfast places if not a little bit more than some.

    Just our opinion - I know a lot of other people love it . Might be something to do with us all being veggies as we found it hard to tell what had meat in it and what did not .
