- KPKaren PiperNov 11, 20255.0Friendly staff and great food @2:30 pm
- CCCarla CollinsNov 11, 20255.0I have been to several different Pizza Ranches but always come back to the Indianola one. All the buffets are always very well stocked and fresh. The employees are very prompt on clearing our table of empty plates. Very friendly staff.
- JNJerimiha NewlonOct 24, 20251.0We've never had a problem with this place until tonight. When we got to pizza ranch, the buffet was almost completely empty. Salad bar was empty and messy, no pizza. So we decided to wait for food considering it's a busy Friday evening. After waiting 30 minutes for any food to arrive, we finally we're able to scrounge up a meal for our family from the mess of the buffet. Literally one piece of chicken, pizza that was sitting there for a long time, and one piece if dessert pizza. Tried to pull the manager aside to talk with her, but she didnt seem too interested in helping. Seem to be understaffed and not prepared at all. New management is not doing well.
- LFLauren FredericksOct 24, 20252.0We have lived in Indianola for 5 years & come in for dinner/arcade probably once a month. Tonight was the worst visit we’ve ever had. Appeared almost all of the staff was new & extremely rude/impersonal. A young girl working at the front counter with glasses & short hair was so rude! Zero customer service skills. She should be in the back cooking chicken (appeared she was the manager). All of the food stations were almost empty. We inquired & were given no help or assistance. The food stations were pretty much empty the entire 35 minutes we were here. Awful!!! So wish we would have dined elsewhere.
