Pounders Restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences for its visitors. While some diners rave about standout dishes like the Ulu Mashed Potatoes and Shrimp Tacos, others express disappointment in the food quality and service. Many mention the varying steak preparation, with issues of grizzle and overcooked fish detracting from their meals. However, the attentive and friendly service consistently earns praise. The restaurant's pleasant atmosphere and ample free parking add to its appeal, making it a popular stop for those exploring the area.

I had a pleasant casual dining experience at this restaurant. The food was tasty, and the Ahi Nachos were fantastic—definitely a highlight!

Out of the whole sunfish at 5:30pm. That was the main reason I planned to go there. It is a bummer but the service was good. Foods were so so. There was live music outside at the marketplace during Christmas week while we were dining on 12/26.

We were very disappointed; food cold Sent it back still cold. No refill on iced tea. They took percent off meal it was not worth the price.

Service is great, food is bad. Especially for the price, it’s not worth it. Yesterday we ordered the pizza of the day which was a spicy volcano pizza $16). It was supposed to have bacon on it but this is what came out. Other than that, my husbandthought it was fine. It was essentially a spicy pepperoni pizza. I got the “Grahmburger” $18) which was actually prettygood. I enjoyed that. I miss the old Pounders menu, it was so much better
