    Very disappointed!!! The building inside is very clean and nice (it's brand new). The buffet on the other hand sucks!! Pizza is very thin and they skimp on the toppings. We went last night (Saturday at 6:00). The staff kept taking old pizza and putting it on one tray so people would grab it when they brought out new ones. I get that they don't want to throw it away but after it sits so long just get rid of it, that's part of offering a buffet. The cactus bread barley had and crumb topping on it. Just looked like a pizza with a tiny bit of cinnamon and a tiny bit of icing drizzled on it. Way overpriced for $16.99 each for my wife and I and then $10 for the two kids. Being that it is brand new I expected more. Save your money and go to Indianola or better yet just go have a nice meal at another restaurant!!!

    My son and I went to this Pizza Ranch on a weekend just 2 weeks after it opened, so it was pretty crowded. Still, we were seated immediately. I don't recommend sitting in the aisle leading to the arcade. It's remarkably narrow for what is naturally going to be the highest traffic area, so you're going to be saying excuse me quite a bit on your way back and forth to the buffet. The broasted chicken is still as good as any in town and the pizza, which I've always considered to be average, was actually a little above average at this locale. To my son's delight, this particular Pizza Ranch has something that has been taken away from all others we've visited: Pasta. Unfortunately, on this particular night, the pasta must have been playing second fiddle to the pizza and chicken for a little too long, because some of the noodles had become rock hard dehydrated. It obviously needed more attention than it was being given. Hopefully, after some of the newness wears off, this pasta abuse will happen less often, and my son will be able to enjoy his go-to dish like he used to. The arcade is above average over most other places that have one. Most of the games are top-of-the-line including a couple of VR games. There was one that was out of order, but it was a rope climbing game I had never seen before. It also has a prize counter for kids who might be interested in that sort of thing. Minus one star for the food and the service because of the pasta, but overall, this Pizza Ranch is a nice addition to the area.

    We have been coming here weekly since this location opened. The food is always full and fresh. Taste great, especially the chicken. The chicken goes quickly but they do a great job refilling it within minutes. You can have them make a certain pizza for you and it comes to your table quickly. The pizza bar has a great variety of options. The salad bar is full and the lettuce is fresh with multiple options. The soup has tasted great and is hot! My kids love the pasta bar. The dessert table is always full of different items as well with different cactus breads and cookies. The ice cream is another kid favorite. They have Pepsi brand drinks. The staff is great! They are always friendly and helpful. There’s a lot of seating available too which is something my family of 7-10 struggle with when going out to eat. Highly recommend checking them out!

    The food was great however it was definetly a strange expierience. Loved our bus boy Carter, he made the experience super enjoyable and made sure to check in with us to clear plates several times. Carter made me and my family feel very welcome and taken care of. My little brothers also spilled drinks and made an overall huge mess, but Carter was right there with us to wipe it up, without complaint. In all the dining expieriences I've had, never have I found an employee that was so helpfull and commited to his job as Carter was. He made it a great expierience. However, we did overhear some managers gossiping and bad mouthing their employees right in front of us. This was very strange considering all the employees were doing an exeptional job. The managers gave us a very strange impression, and I especially did not appriciate their hostility, thats my reason for the review. Overall, the great food, and exelent service from Carter made up for the unprofessional managers.
