Been here 3 times and each time the food is either raw or your order is completely forgotten. This location is very consistent at doing everything wrong. Needless to say I won’t be back for a fourth time. Don’t waste your time and money here!

Pizza Ranch was so good, It would have things like Mac and Cheese on Tuesday, hot wings on Thursday, and the chocolate cookie pie available to people. There is nothing wrong with this place, as people know what they are expecting if they go there often (like me), and new things might appear eventually...
