Ponderosa Steakhouse, Orlando

There are several Ponderosa locations in Orlando and Kissimmee.  This is another kind of all you can eat restaurant in Florida.  You just need to buy a meal at the cashier then you can eat whatever that's available at the buffet bar.  This is one of my 'must visit' restaurant before I go to Orlando, as the food pictures shown on their website looks delicious but once I've been there...I swear I will never go back!!  http://www.ponderosaorlando.com/ - Don't be fool by their pictures!

 I went to the one at International Drive, Orlando.

 This is their menu.

 A closer shot of their menu.  Looks good huh!?!

 It's big inside with lots of seats, but there weren't a lot of people inside...

 Pasta...that didn't taste very good...

 Desserts again

 Ice-cream machine

 Mac & cheese and other comfort food

 The server gave you two garlic bread to start with.  This garlic bread is harder than a rock!!  I can't even chew it!!  Terrible!!

 I had a plate of these stuff before my meal is here.  They are very local food but didn't taste good at all.

 That's my regular cut medium sirloin.  It comes with a baked potato (extra cost that I didn't know after I've paid)

 A small bowl of mushroom (cost extra that I didn't know).  This bowl of mushroom is the nastiest mushroom I've ever eaten!  Not to mention they're from a can, this thing has a 'sour' taste!!  Absolutely GROSS!!

 A small bowl of onion which you won't know that costs extra 'till after you've paid.  This onion is also a garbage!!  It's just onion soaked in butter + water!!  No taste at all!  GROSS!!

 My husband's dish:  Sizzlin steak.  PS, those onion rings cost extra as well which we didn't know 'till after we've paid!!  What a rip off!!

 These side kicks I got from the buffet bar tasted way lot better than those I have to pay!!

 Sizzling steak cooked perfectly but the meat itself was chewy and tasteless.

 My sirloin was a bit over cooked.  It's texture was hard, chewy, dry and tasteless!

 I made myself a burrito after finished up the steak.

 More comfort food for me...

 My husband's fruit dish that I didn't even bother eating...

 I thought at first that red sauce is strawberry sauce, but it ended up to be banana sauce....gross!!

My husband's ice-cream...he said both flavor didn't taste good...
