I am always happy to visit one of the few remaining Ponderous locations. Occasionally I travel to St. Louis for work and I try to time my travel so I can enjoy lunch or dinner at this...

We knew it would be bad but we were hungry and didn't want fast food. We were hoping for a bit of different things that were at least edible. Let's start with the good. The place was clean....

I am never a Fan when we visit here. Always the same crusty dry tasteless items! I wanted a salad the other night and I wish I would've just went shopping!
See a problem?
