Ponderosa Steakhouse closes in Tell City

TELL CITY, IN (WFIE) - The Ponderosa Steakhouse on State Road 37 in Tell City closed without warning.

The manager didn't wish to comment other than to say there weren't enough customers to keep the restaurant open.

Some regulars are still shocked the eatery closed.

They tell us they didn't go there a lot over the past few months, but are still sad to see the local business close.

However, they are hopeful for a new restaurant because it is close to the new Perry County Memorial Hospital.

There's no official word on whether anything will replace Ponderosa.
