    I was late the whole "Hoss Experience" but I'm going to go on record and say it's never done me wrong and I'll miss it.

      I'll miss it too. It reminded me a lot of Ponderosa where I worked in high school. I looked forward every year to facon bits and 100% unnatural pudding. Seriously, I did. I am surprised at the decline in business with all of the construction around there.

          I think it was me, I picked all the onions out of french onion soup, yet i ordered onion rings as a side. THAT DOES NOT COMPUTE!

            Sad. At least I can say I experienced them one time
            Will miss the chance again!

                Wow, it says it closed June 14. We got it in right under the wire for the "last meals." Kind of surprised business would be declining in that location since you would think they would get the hotel traffic year-round.

                  I'm glad I got to eat there at least once. The salad/food/desert was good but the service just wasn't there. I wonder if the people going to the Marx show this weekend are missing it as well.

                    Maybe they knew they were being fired and just didn't care.

                        Everyone meet me at the Outback Steakhouse in Orlando, Florida this weekend.

                        I'll splurge and buy the first round of drinks.

                        Minimum 8 people

                        I'm in a groove and on the move collecting Mego POTA figures. PM me anytime.

                          Could be all the experienced staff had already walked too. Sometimes the newbies never see the writing on the wall and end up going down with the ship.

                          R.I.P. Hoss's we'll miss you.
                          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                            The Hoss's in the article..is it really the one in Wheeling by Super8? It mentions Elm Grove or something...

                            either way, the chances of the one by the Super8 being gone next year were pretty high.

                              wow just under the wire!!!
                              their salad bar was great, cold crisp greens! the steaks were hit and miss. that's what you get when cooking a 3/4" cut, very easy to turn to shoe leather. all in all i was never disappointed . . . .
