- RDRyan DavisNov 14, 20254.0Wish they would do wings everyday
- SSSharon SmithNov 13, 20255.0My grandson's favorite place. Tuesday night is free for kids. Good fried chicken, crispy & fresh. Assorted salad bar always replenished. If they don't have the pizza you like, they make it for you & then put it in the pizza bar. Food choices for adults & kids. Self serve. It's 4 buffets including dessert. Befeeages are included in the price. Staff are friendly. They pick up plates when you are done with them.

- JWJessica WeeksNov 7, 20251.0Horrible experience. We came for a early dinner. Majority of the food looked like it’s been sitting all afternoon. Cold and gross. The entire time I didn’t see any fresh food come out. The floor was dirty and disgusting. Chicken bones on the floor. There were flies around the soda machine. Please avoid this particular Pizza Ranch.
