Pond Restaurant 2407 Moody Road, Warner Robins, GA 31088

"Came on a busy night. Seated 20 minutes after our reservation time which was fine. Service was good. Savannah was busy but attentive and pleasant. The $16 calamari was all breading with very, very thinly sliced calamari. The texture was chip-like, very dry, and salty. Peppers were also promised with the dish. There was not a pepper on the plate. The $43 ribeye was very poor quality and about 40% gristle and fat. The mac and cheese was incredibly salty. The cheese was not completely melted and almost chalky in texture. The loaded mashed potatoes were fair. The $25.5 gumbo plate was decent but very small. There were exactly 6 shrimp as promised on the menu. The amount of sausage was about the size of an average pinky finger. The amount of chicken? Imperceptible. The profit margin on $25.5 for 1/4 cup of rice, broth, 6 shrimp and 3 inches of sausage must be high. Why do I specify the prices? Because they are way too high for the amount of food, quality of the ingredients and cooking. The amount they are charging when it appears they are trying to cut corners with everything from the quality of the meat to the thickness of the lemon slice for the calamari to specifying the exact number of shrimp per gumbo dish is almost laughable. This may seem harsh but it is the truth of our experience and potential customers should be aware given how hard folks work for their money and how little free time we all get. Don’t waste your hard earned money or the one free night you have without the kids on this place."

"This was my first visit to the establishment. The food was mostly excellent with great service. Given the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake (pond) the afternoon sun was quite bright. I could only imagine how amazing a sunset would look if dining at the right time."

"I had an awesome time here. My boyfriend and I went for brunch today and had a great time. You do need to make reservations or be prepared for atleast a 30-45 minute wait but after we waited it was worth it. The food is awesome and they have a great selection of items. It’s very clean for a buffet. They have grits, eggs, bacon, ham, shrimp and other breakfast items like crepes fruit and donuts and muffins. We also tried their mimosas and margaritas and they were great. It can get a little pricey though we spent almost 90 between us two but we did buy cocktails and mimosa. Great place just make a reservation."

"The atmosphere and the views are beautiful here. That has to be the best part about the restaurant. The staff at the door were extremely friendly and seemed to enjoy being at work. Service was a little dry, stale, and almost nonexistent. Personality needed some working on. The Ceasars Salad was good, minus the brown pieces. The Red Snapper was delicious, and whatever that sauce was super tasty. On the Chicken Alfredo, the chicken was dry. The rest of the pasta dish and broccoli were good by itself. I was disappointed with the asparagus. For 5.50, you get four pieces that are bland and were overcooked on two of them. I would not order those ever again. I would revisit to try other things, just not asparagus or chicken."
