Pizza Ranch is a family-friendly buffet restaurant offering pizza, chicken, salad bar and dessert. We also offer a full menu for carryout and delivery.
Food here was subpar and fairly expensive for being a self-serve buffet-style pizza place. I only assume you pay extra for the fried chicken that the place is supposedly "known for." I can attest that their chicken was nothing to brag about being KFC honestly has better tasting chicken tenders as well as fried. The chicken I saw being restocked came from an fridge-looking oven being kept warm (I watched the lady restock from there anyway). I would choose CiCis pizza or stay at home and serve a heat 'em up and serve type frozen pizza such as Tony's or Digiorno for that matter (I truly meant this). The arcade looked half-decent and had about 30 or so decades old arcade games. I am not trying to bash the place, but I definitely left establishment still hungry and $65 less in my bank account to feed 4 (one being 10, another 13, and the other 14, plus the eldest kid being 43 years young). We were in and out in about 20 minutes total. I will say the facilities were worthy of a squat and hand wash.
Note: I am genuinely not a negative person, but the manager seemed flustered seeing that there was about 30 people in our reserved seating and his demeanor was that of a staff member being asked to cut his break 1 cigarette early to return to work and help out.....just my $65 observation đ

They had a nice selection of food and it was hot and tasty. After eating we played a few games in the arcade. Several machines were broken or out of service but my grandson had fun.
I went to the restroom and used the toilet paper only. Upon reaching for the paper, discovered that the was none. I hobbled to the sink searching for paper towels and found the dispenser empty. I phoned my wife who told an employee that I needed toilet paper in the menâs restroom. 10 minutes later she checked on me to discover that no toilet paper had been delivered. She went back to the employee who told her that he was sorry that he had been busy. Eventually my grandson brought me toilet paper.
Even though the food was good, I donât think I will ever be back to this place.
We went there thinking it was going to be good the guy at the front desk was nice we got drinks and food and sat down and the unsweetened tea was horrible it was sour and when my family member when to pour it out there was another lady there to pour hers out too and the guy said it was fresh which was a lie and the other lady said it was sour as well the cheese didn't taste good or real tasted more like dough the chicken was dry and the table near us was dirty with tons of plates on it and it was like that when we got there and still like that when we left horrible experience will not go again

I have memories of another pizza place(in a different state) with a buffet that served more then pizza(fried chicken specifically-IYKYK) and was looking forward to checking this place out. Luckily a work related event took place here on a Saturday evening.
I am sad to report it was the food was disappointing. Everything is served buffet style but at the time the event started, 5:30 pm, there was hardly any fresh food left, both pizza and chicken. A lot of people were left standing around waiting for fresh pizzas and chicken to be brought out. It just wasn't very good at all. Slices of pizza were small. As for the chicken, if I had been a greedy person I could've taken most of the fried chicken brought out on one plate alone and the flavor was just ok.
The cleanliness of the buffet and drink station was an issue.
If ypu just want to take the kids out for a meal and some games it's ok, but otherwise don't bother.
The event space is not very large, making it most suitable for a kids party. We had at least 50 adults in the room and the table set up made it quite difficult for those sitting in the middle to get around other diners and tables.
