- DDDoc1 day ago1.0There is not a single clean spot to sit. Everything, ie: walls, tables, chairs, floors are so sticky you litterally can’t wipe a napkin across it or it tears and sticks to the table. There is so much crud build up it makes for a gross unwanted experience. Staff were chipper but daily cleaning would benefit the amount of buildup you have on every surface!
- GAGlow Ann6 days ago3.0so so had to wait for chicken some of the pizza was cold in the in the hot bar the salad bar could have been looking better they did try to get plates picked up timely for that I did give them a tip sometimes I think these young kids need a little more adult leadership we were there at 430 5 on a Saturday night when we first got there it was not busy and then it did get busy
- BWBrooke WalkerNov 12, 20251.0Extremely rude customer service when asked to honor a senior discount. The male worker took $4 out of the “tips” jar and proceeded to throw it at my grandmother, along with yelling at her.
- CFCasey ForsytheNov 3, 20251.0At 645 we walked in to a restaurant with all the chairs put up and no less then 5 staff standing around "cleaning" telling us they were dead so decided to get ready early. Teenage son still needed food so we stayed. $51 for 3 people. Felt incredibly uncomfortable as staff slammed doors and wandered around . Then I got to watch one young man just reach in and raw dog a piece of chicken to go eat in the back. Appetite ruined. Told the manager he said he would look into it. Then said Yup we saw it. No apology offer to make things better. But whatever. I'm done. Will not be back.
- TPTiffany PaulOct 26, 20251.0I went to Pizza Ranch yesterday with my parents and it was SO DISAPPOINTING!! There were messes EVERYWHERE and trash was over flowing. Pizza slice by the pop machine. Dishes just left on a table for a long time until finally someone got them. The pizzas were terrible and my mom noticed the soft serve was over flowing in the drain/catcher. The staff needs adult supervision! There was the younger boy that was very nice and actually came up and got our plates! He was the only one that did so! He was one that was working very hard that we noticed. They also need to refill the free English Bibles! The Spanish was were there but no English ones. There wasn’t any fresh salad for my dad they didn’t come to refill it but the other toppings they did little by little. My dad thought the chicken was very overdone. They never wiped down the tables either. All this to say we will never be going back. They have gone down hill since they have opened, when they were new the place was a great place to go but now it is disappointing!
