Question: are there any ponderosas left?
Answer: Yet the Ponderosa Steakhouse in Canandaigua, New York, is now a parking lot for a Starbucks. There were, at one point, 305 Ponderosas (and sister buffet Bonanzas) in the US, and today there are 75 locations total — including 19 in Puerto Rico and a handful scattered in Egypt, Qatar, Taiwan, and the UAE.
