The big menu board hangs at the ordering station as Ponderosa Steakhouse employee Kaleb Shaw-Henderson greets customers at the Butler County eatery, the only remaining Ponderosa Steakhouse in Pennsylvania.

This week’s episode features reporter Joyce Hanz joining Zac Gibson to dive into the nostalgia and loyalty surrounding the last Ponderosa Steakhouse in Pennsylvania.

Butler County has one of the last of 16 Ponderosa restaurants left in the country. It’s located in Center Township. Visitors travel from New York, Virginia, Ohio and Erie to get a taste of the Western-themed buffet.

Hanz walks through her reporting and explains why Ponderosa holds such significance in the hearts and stomachs of locals and visitors alike.
