Ponderousa BBQ & Grill: Reviews & Ratings
great barbecue and great service. Madison did a great job with our table. I love the sandwiches as the ragin Cajun was outstanding. Mac and cheese and coleslaw were just average. I would recommend this place and I plan to try more dishes in the future.

Place was amazing. Food was amazing. The waiter was the best! He gave some recommendations for off menu sauce combinations and they were awesome! Check this place out and hope you get the same server! Also come hungry!
I ordered the Gumbo. It came with a cornbread side. The gumbo was delicious, with tender, savory chicken and sausage. The cornbread was moist and buttery. Fully recommend!
The food was great. Service was awesome. Loved the waitress. Beer was ice cold.
