This Pizza Ranch is by far one of the worst I've ever been to. The chicken was well undercooked and the selection at the buffet was very limited..... The pizza that my group ordered had very little sauce and toppings on it. My family and I left hungry and disappointed. We will never return to this Pizza Ranch location.
