    This place is always good. Good food, really good employees and that's getting harder to find. They all deserve a raise. We always tip. I don't cook as much as I used to and it's a treat to have quality food prepared and ready. Highly recommend it.

    I was debating posting this, but I had to. One of the managers voice is loud and unbearable. My husband and I just wanted a quiet dinner. A newer worker, Emily seemed to command her army of fifteen year olds around grabbing plates. They seemed so unhappy, I feel bad for them! Food was cold and buffet wasn't the cleanest. I came here when there was a couple of African Americans and the way the managers treated them was so horrible. I wouldn't even imagine eating here again. Price is wayyyyyy too expensive for the experience that we had.

    This is one of, if not, the best Pizza Ranch locations I've been to. Buffet is clean and always stocked with fresh food, workers are always coming out to make sure everything is up to temp. Food taste amazing and fresh, definitely recommend for pizza lovers :)

    My very first time at a Pizza Ranch, All in all the service was excellent, the pizza was very good, it's not the country's best fried chicken but it's pretty good. The only criticism I have for this store is they need to enlarger entrance it was getting very claustrophobic waiting to order food. Too many people not big enough Fit more than five or six people. I will be returning for that great pizza! 🍕🍕🍕😁

    One of the best PR I've been at!! Staff is super friendly, restaurant was nice and clean, restrooms were spotless when we were there (1:30 pm), staff handled food properly...chicken was brought out real often, 10-15 pieces at a time, always hot and fresh!!! pizza was awesome, just the right amount of sauce on every one I tried...love that the breadsticks are served on a tray at the pizza station, they stay better that way than in a warmer with a cover. AND THEY SERVE THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ON THE DESSERT BUFFET!!!!

    This is the best Pizza Ranch that I know of. The pizza is always hot and perfectly cooked. The dessert bar is fully stocked. The staff are quick to clean tables and the manager is really nice.

    Good kid friendly place. Our 7 yr old loves it! Good fried chicken when they have some out on the buffet. Checked back over 4x and no chicken. Asked someone and was met with a blank stare every time. Asked for a specific pizza when we first came and never did see that. Paid over $85 for 4 adults and 1 child to get bad service. Food was eh.

  • 5/5 Kelly J. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was hot and tasty. Great variety of pizzas on the buffet, including fried chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, fresh salad bar, desserts, and more. The place was clean and the staff were quick to clear the tables of plates. Really enjoyed our time there with family!

    I see so many people go in and out here when I shop near here. So I said let me give them a chance. The young lady on the register looked miserable. The bussers also looked miserable. They are too young to look like that. Management must be unbearable. The food is pretty good. The fried chicken skin is overly salty. The cheese sticks are good with marinara. The pizza was really good too. The ice cream and chocolate chip pie were good. A lot of elders dine here so it’s like eating in the 60’s.

    Update the food is amazing so I'll bump the long wait. Don't know how many stars to give yet but we pre-ordered an hour ago and we are still out here waiting. I know it's Saturday but an hour should probably be enough time to get one order ready. I'll update on quality if we ever get our food. 😞

    Great place for chicken and pizza. They have buffet style broken into pizza bar, salad bar, chicken plus sides bar, and a dessert bar. The breadsticks are very tasty. Many types of pizza to chose from. You can make special requests which are delivered to your table. The fried chicken is very tasty, perfect texture. You can also get pasta, mashed potatoes, dressing, corn, etc at the chicken bar. Breadsticks, cheese sticks, and pizza by the slice at the pizza bar. The salad bar includes a soup of the day and herring. I hate herring, but how often do you see places offering it? The staff is polite and the restroom is clean. They have a western theme, which means most of the ladies on staff are wearing skin tight blue jeans with thick belts and tucked in t-shirts. They just need the boots and hats (most wear visors). The dessert bar has soft serve ice cream, chocolate chip cookie pizzas, and cactus bread (dessert pizzas). This is a great place to bring family or friends.

    We love to come with family! Delicious pizza buffet, great fried chicken and friendly staff! We had 9 people and the place was busy for lunch but we had no problem getting a large table and fast lines at the buffet. Will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Stressy D. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, friendly. Food was fresh and flavorful. We went in the evening and I must say it’s the best time to go. The restaurant was not busy, we went to the room in back and it was empty. Perfect for somebody who struggles with social anxiety.

  • 4/5 David S. 1 year ago on Google
    It would be nice to have them pick up the dirty plates on your table that you had used instead of stacking them up and it would be nice to have Carmel or chocolate topping for the ice cream and maybe milk as an option for the chicken along with the pop option for the pizza

  • 4/5 Greg Pettersen (. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty fried chicken too! Quite an array of pizzas, even dessert styles. Loved the soft chocolate chip cookie 'pizza' & soft-serve!

  • 4/5 Ashanti D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, good service. Plus get pizza made your way. Only suggestion, expand the buffet to include more items. Maybe some calzones or different types of pasta.

  • 5/5 Daynelle H. 1 year ago on Google
    Will always love Pizza Ranch! Broccoli chicken alfredo pizza is my favorite. My son is obsessed with their mac & cheese pizza. All their food is amazing, and I've never left dissatisfied. The only thing I consistently with is that they adjust something with the chocolate chip cookie recipe because it always seems too oily.

  • 4/5 Jen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious as always, cashier and bussing staff friendly. Our frustration on this visit was with the pizza we ordered. We ordered a stuffed crust pepperoni pizza. Easy right? Nope. The first pizza they brought to our table was pepperoni and green olives. We politely told the staff person that it was not the pizza we ordered and that nobody at our table would eat it. She apologized and a short while later came out with another pizza. This one was pepperoni with half the pizza green olives. We didn't quite understand why the second pizza had olives on it as we clearly stated that no one at our table would eat it. We were a party of 4 so we needed more than half a medium size pizza for our table. Eventually, 25 minutes before the closing of the buffet, we finally had the correct pizza brought to our table so the rest of our party could eat. This incident will in no way stop us from coming back! We love Pizza Ranch! But almost every time we order a special pizza something goes wrong.

    This is one of my favorite spots when I'm in the area. The food is decent and the staff is amazing. Everyone is working hard and going above expectations. I just really enjoy this location. It's very close to several nice hotels and tons of shopping. If you haven't been I highly recommend it. Like I said, the food is decent but the experience is what keeps me coming back time after time. Stop by and see for yourself!

  • 4/5 david m. 1 year ago on Google
    Our group of 4 arrived with a little less than an hour to go to closing time. I was surprised when they asked us if we had any special requests for a pizza variety. I thought this was really a great feature to offer especially at that hour. When our special request Deluxe pizza was ready they brought it right to our table so we could grab as much of that as we wanted. The entire buffet was very well stocked and fresh. The quality of all the food items was a lot better than I had expected going into it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

  • 5/5 Tim S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant. I attended the Waite Park Chamber event that was hosted here. The accommodation is awesome. This event had a baked chicken diner with potatoes and vegetables. Side salad and dressing. Very good. Big room and space had a mic system and screen.
