Customer Reviews

"My girlfriend and I tried it for the very first time and we were impressed. It's confusing when you first go in because you pay first at the counter regardless of if you're getting the buffet or not. We got the buffet and everything was very good. Lots of options and variety. We went for dinner on a Wednesday and it was packed. The staff seemed friendly and refilled the food in a timely manner. I would definitely go back again, and will be back to try the breakfast buffet. There's a lot of negative reviews for this place but I would say give this place a try because there's a lot of ignorant people that just want to complain."

"I forgot about Bonanza for years. When I saw the sign along Rt. 15, I was excited and nostalgic. The hot dinner rolls are great. Everything else is acceptably decent while some buffet items are exceptional."

"The buffet was excellent! The sirloin could have been better, it tasted slightly burnt! Update 12-23-22 I had a 6oz sirloin steak and buffet, the steak was probably one of the tastiest and tenderest steaks I have ever eaten! 12-23-24 6oz. Sirloin stake and buffet, and it was "

"My daughter (12) asked to stop here since the one in our town closed. I was a little nervous with the reviews but decided to give it a try. The food on the buffet was fresh but it was only 30 minutes after opening. The staff was polite and friendly. We never had to ask for a drink refill, the waitress brought it automatically. The only thing I could say was that it could use a bit of updating as our booth was ripped. Other than that I was pleasantly surprised."

- Courtney L.

"The waitress was awesome, loved her & her voice (she was singing to the music playing). The buffet isn't too bad, the food can be dry at times, but it's a nice atmosphere, it's clean, & I enjoy going, with just the hubby & the kids."
