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.

Rax hasn't been in Missouri for a long time. As Rax fizzled out of your community, it was probably converted into an Arby's or Fazoli's. Today, there are only a handful open in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It also doesn't appear that Rax has an official website any longer. The specialty, of course, was that roast beef sandwich. By the way, Arby's continues to do well.
