Ponderosa

[jtlover]

Hi

Have not been to Disney for 3 years and I am going again in February.

Can someone please advise how much breakfast is these days at Ponderosa or Sizzler?

Thanks!

I think it was about $3.99 at the Ponderosa when we were there a couple of weeks ago.

Just moving this across to Trip Planning, you should get a better response there

Sizzler is up to $5.99 but that includes a fruit juice.

Cannot comment on Sizzler but Ponderosa should be no more than $6 I would have thought.

Be careful though because the quality of Ponderosa seems to vary depending on which restaurant you visit, we went to one on the 192 and was pretty shabby, the one at the south end of I-drive is best for breakfast and dinner too.

We had breakfast several times at sizzlers on our trip in September. The food was very good, and there's lots on the menu to choose from.

Thanks for the replies - wanted to know as we dont want to eat at Disney all the time - plus my bank balance wouldnt be able to cope with it either!

my mum loves ponderosa!!
last trip we ate there 13 breakfasts out of 14!!!she has developed a love for fruit loops because of the ponderosa

sizzler was around 8.99 for a steak buffee. Breakfast was $5.99.

I can't remember how much ponderosser was, as we were really disappointed with the one we used. Sizzler was a lot nicer. We used the one on the 535 near Mcdonald's.

You can also get a really nice sandwich at the Earl of Sandwich at down town. They were around $6.00 and huge.

Enjoy

I'd agree with Johnny - the one on the 192 looked tired and the food average at best.

yes it was pretty grim, there were pieces of folded up paper under the tables to keep them straight and food all over the floor....

I've posted this many times, but try the Golden Coral, the food is miles better than Ponderosa.

There are 2 in Kissimmee , the link below shows all of the restaurants in Florida.
It may be worth searching on these boards though because I am sure there have been comments made that seem to suggest some of the GC restaurants are nicer than others - which is certainly true of Ponderosa.

Some are better than others, we went to one on the 192, out towards the outback steak house, that was a good one, and it was also cheaper than the international drive ones.

Ive never been a fan of the ponderosa but I will eat there if everyone else wants to my DH and kids love them We normally use the one on the 192 near the outback too

That one near the Outback is convenient but not that great - that's were we had a very average breakfast earlier this year, it was a bit shabby inside to be honest.
The one at south I-drive is much better.

It is poor that they differ so much depending on where you go though.

Maybe next time we go we will try another one.

Like most restaurant chains they are franchised so depending on who owns the branch you will get differing standards although the prerequisite is to provide good food in a clean environment this is clearly not adhered to.

I stopped using buffet style restaurants a few years ago because of the lower standards offered and also for some disgusting things I saw from the patrons which put me off using them ever again. I much prefer to use waitress service restaurants such as Friendly's or IHOP where the food is freshly cooked.
