Station wagons are an interesting topic, especially when discussed in the United States. This body style used to be the vehicle of choice for family road trips and weekend soccer tournaments, but it has since been replaced by SUVs, crossovers, and pickup trucks.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
