Ponderosa in Herkimer Closing After 36 Years
A sign on the Ponderosa Steakhouse in New Hartford indicates that the building is for lease. Now a sign on another Ponderosa, this one in Herkimer, is grabbing more attention.
After 36 years the Herkimer location is closing its doors.
A source tells WIBX that the restaurant plans to be open until 9:00pm on Sunday, November 16, 2014. However, if business is slow, the doors will close sooner, perhaps as early as 7:00pm.
A spokesperson for Homestyle Dining LLC, the parent company for Ponderosa Steak House, has not yet returned WIBX's request for a comment.
Earlier reports that the Ponderosa would be turned into a Bonanza Steakhouse could not be confirmed.
