- TMTina Marie3 days ago5.0They had ran out of potato wedges and I asked for more and know how kind they were and they have the mac & cheese pizza there. It was a good, thank you.😊
- JHJeffrey Haney5 days ago2.0Ordered 8 pieces of chicken online for carry-out. Chicken was over-cooked, soggy and greasy. Looked like for carry-out they used left over chicken from the buffet and re-fried it to heat it up. Was searching for a good place for chicken carry out and this was not the place. Very dissapointed.

- APAmanda PyleDec 13, 20255.0The resturant had several staff on during the Friday evening that we used Pizza Ranch for a birthday party. The party room was ready for us upon arrival and the staff was accommodating and so nice! From the time that we arrived we were approached by several staff to make sure we had what we needed and explained all the Pizza Ranch had to offer for the evening. The buffet was loaded and someone was there throughout tidying up and tending to customers. We all thought the food was fresh and delicious! The arcade was clean, in good repair and fun! The resturant was very busy and service was top notch all evening. We are looking forward to our next visit to eat and we will recommend the event option to friends.
