    In 1963, Dan Blocker, who played Eric "Hoss" Cartwright on Bonanza, started the Bonanza Steakhouse chain. The first Bonanza opened in Westport, Connecticut. Sam Wyly and his brother Charles Wyly bought the small Bonanza restaurant chain three years later. Ann our favorite waitress 5 years now,  we been enjoying this location 40 years now.  Been a while lunch special buffet come with drink $10.99. I'm a Wing Lover always eat a dozen plus and the Seafood Salad,  Collared Greens,  Blackeye Peas n Cornbread WOWED.  Dessert Banana Nut Bread OMG the best ever.  Only location that remains in Metro Detroit great location at intersection of Southfield Freeway n I-94 continues to pack the place. Friday Seafood buffet same price till 4PM outrageous Cornmeal Catfish rules me favorite and it's all you can eat WOW

    This place taste nothing like l remembered when it was in Toledo, everything on the buffet was salty and our steak had no flavor at all.

    You want wings? Ponderosa has the best deal on wings in Metro Detroit, that's if you can still find a location near you.  Fifty wings, their large bag, for $28.79 plus tax.  The wings are pretty darn good.  I always get mine to go so that I can pig out in private.  If you like old Schl buffet style dining this location is for you. The 1980s vibe never left this place but it's a good thing.  Discounts on the wings are only Monday-Wednesday but other meal deals are available all week.  Enjoy

    Small buffet with so/so food. The first time I was here they had a special buffet for the holiday and that was actually pretty good. This time around it was okay at best. Service is okay. Nothing really stands out here. I guess if your really hungry it's not a bad place to go but don't expect a ton of options .
