★★★☆☆ 3.0 Joe Lichter · Dec 2025

Typically, this is a pretty good place to take a family for pizza and fried chicken. Over the past few months they have dropped having unsweetened ice tea or any diet caffeine free soda. So in the evening, they recommended water. The drink selection is poor and has really degraded from the past. The food selection can be hit and miss. The chicken may look like it has been at the buffet well past its prime and the pizza can be limited. Other visits they have a nice selection and better good quality. Currently, Pizza Ranch is offering a gift card where for $50, you get $10 discount. We asked if we can bring a large group and use multiple gift cards and discounts at the same time. The manager assured us that we could. When we brought 18 people, we couldn't use multiple discounts at th

We usually love pizza ranch. But we got here at around 7:15. They told us that whatever was left on the buffet was it (which is fine) but then they proceeded to hound us and rush us around 7:30 to hurry up and get our last plates so they could clean up. The food was good like always but they were rushing us to eat so they can leave at closing time.

A not great pizza ranch experience. Most Pizza Ranch locations are great and attentive. The employees seem depressed and sad here. It’s less clean than other locations. Selection is not as good. Lots of coughing and general health concerns. Like others have mentioned - they cut off the buffet early and rush you out to close up.

First thing noticed was the change to Pepsi products. They aren’t set right, so you get colored water with an underlying flavor. I asked an employee when they’re switching back to Coke and she said probably never. I did a little digging and found Pizza Ranch and Pepsi have a seven year contract in place since September. Their buffet didn’t have much on it, most of the pizzas did have some warmer age on them and needed replacement and added selection too. My wife noted the cold pasta and undercooked breadsticks, dessert pizza and cookie. They appeared cooked, but guessing an oven issue or inexperienced kitchen staff. Chicken was poorly stocked too. I’ve eaten here several times with no complaints. Not good overall. Giving two stars because the water actually tastes like water. I see the own

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Diana L · Feb 2026

Food selection was ok, but limited. The carpet could use a good vacuum and a spill of ranch was walked around the hour or so we were there. Still hadn't been cleaned up when we left. Overall a disappointment for the cost.
