Ponderosa Lounge Grill - Portland

Loved this place! My co worker and I stopped here on our road trip and needed to charge our phones and the waitress accommodated our request. We were able to sit wherever we chose and loved how the place looked. Very large and they even had Pepsi instead of coke lol. Very nice waitresses and very fast service. I would go here again.

Service was great, my pork chops was juicy but tasteless, my coworker on the other hand meatloaf was not so good the gravy tasted burned and the potatoes where lumpy so he didn't eat it. They did take it off the bill so we thank them for that. The place was clean. This is update we went back for breakfast and it was great, we had appetizers that night there was plenty and tasty, we ate dinner again another night and it was better. We were broke down not many places to eat without walking. All the waitresses we had where wonderful people.

Cool truck stop with a family feel. Service was outstanding, food was pretty good. This is a one stop shop, lots of other stores in the same complex.

Very expensive for what you get and really wasn't very tasty. The potatoes, burrito, and omelette were so bland that we had to nearly smother them in salt, pepper, salsa, and other seasonings, just to be able to enjoy eating them. For plates that cost $15-$20 a piece, we should not have to flavor our own food. The sizes are decent but I still think they were a bit overpriced. The worst part though, and the main reason I'm writing kinda of a harsh review, was that they charge extra for everything $2.50 to make one regular pancake into a blueberry pancake and $1.50 for a small bit of mushrooms) and including $2.00 for the plastic silverware and to-go boxes!! Huh?! I've literally never seen any place not even food trucks!!)charge for that. Ridiculously nickel and diming people is not cool. Not cool at all. We've had dinner here before and it was fabulous. This experience with breakfast today has really been a letdown because we were really looking forward to treating ourselves after a hard week of working hard and this was not the breakfast date we had in mind.

Fun place with attentive staff. Live music often. if they dance and socialize with a variety of lots, in a large venue with inexpensive drinks and good eating is their thing, they will love this place. I always have fun because I enjoy country dancing and happy people. easy access to this restaurant on many roads, and it is connected near the interstate 5. hotel, refueling, convenient storage all. large place with lots of parking space.
