    Loralei was very respectful when working the counter and candy was very nice when asking if we had any plates for her to take

    Hey guys!!! Do you like health code violations? Do you like being Gaslit by managers? Then absolutely eat here! They serve BEETLES in the blueberry pizza pie! Yum! So crunchy. My tongue still hurts. So glad I was nice about it, so nice the manager felt comfortable telling me "well it's our word against yours" and hung up when I asked my party of 7 who all saw the beetle. Next time I promise to start screaming and puking on the buffet and making sure to tik tok the whole bug experience instead of trying to be a calm quiet human about it. This WAS (past tense) my favorite place to treat my family, this was my extended family I brought here to share my favorite place with. NEVER again. 110 people found my old 5 star post helpful before I deleted it to replace it with the recent experience. Litterally could have ever avoided any drama with kindness instead of being a jerk to me.

    I booked a $300 birthday package and the experience was no where near worth that our “host” came in rite when we got there said her name and left didn’t see her the rest of the time as she was working in the arcade someone else came and asked if we gave our food order to our host so she took our order for us . We sat and waited for the game cards that came with package had to ask for them 4 times before finally getting by them the arcade is a joke and we didn’t receive a free virtual reality ride for each kid that was included in $300 something package the birthday kid didn’t get no spin on the birthday wheel that they were supposed to get. Didn’t receive the birthday shirt you can color for birthday kid was told they were out of his size so got a 4 times to big pizza ranch shirt instead and had to ask about it. The pizza was good and came fast and could have as may refills on pop and ice cream never seen th “host” besides at the beginning . If you’re looking to book something like this DONT DO IT AS THE STERLING ONE I would definitely go with the one in Clinton Iowa the arcade is way bigger and way nicer but this def was not worth no $300

    I used to go to a pizza buffet out by Chicago and thought that was the best I'd ever have. Pizza Ranch has changed my mind. With the friendliest staff I have seen at a buffet and a whole arcade, this is definitely an experience I would like to repeat. I liked everything I tried, from the pizza to tenders, even the ice cream.

    Great variety of pizzas, sweet and savory. Fried Chicken that I drive 35 minutes each way for. Well stocked salad bar with a great selection of dressings. Good drink selections from two brand new Pepsi Machines. And vanilla soft serve with cones or cups or a root beer float for dessert.
