- HHHaley2 days ago1.0I came to the store at 1 o'clock for my daughter's birthday party, when we walked in we were told the room we had originally booked, because I had disabled family members who needed more space, was not available and we where given a tiny room . When I went to talk to the manager Keith about it he was disrespectful and rude , was not helpful at all he didn't do anything to help me. He also got in my face and snapped at me . I also heard and saw him being disrespectful and snapping at other staff members in front of a large group of people to the point where he had to be brought over were customers couldn't see him , this is not the first time I have had issues with this manager , or the first time that he has snapped at other employees in front of customers , I honestly think this guy should be fired !!

- DDDellNov 4, 20254.0Food inconsistent and lacking choices. Had to ask for desserts... Chicken was very dry. Ice cream cones out and machine flashing low mix.
- KSKim SchmollOct 17, 20255.0Staff was friendly, they had a lot of fresh hot food available. I really enjoyed eating there lastnight! One thing I would like to have is sugar free pop.
- MCMaria ChambersOct 4, 20251.0The food and atmosphere was just like any other pizza ranch and have no concerns with either. However was VERY disappointed with the service. Everything shows closing time is 9pm. At 750pm, staff asked if we were going to get any more food because they wanted to start putting our away. We were done eating but kids were playing in arcade so we said we were done with the food. About 815pm, staff came to table and asked if they could take our drinks glasses which were still full. We asked if we could have to go glasses and got a snide "ya I guess I can do that." At 825pm, we went to fill our cups and the machines were all turned off. Is the place is supposed to be open until 9pm, we should not have been to feel rushed out by 8pm, machines should not have been off before 830pm. If open till 9pm, people should be able to walk in and order at 830pm. Very disappointed to have to cut our celebration short. 😢😓😪
