Pizza Ranch

The food is great! I’m not a huge pizza fan but the variety is awesome! The fried chicken is the best in town too! My only suggestion is to expand the buffets, make them bigger or double sided. I feel like I always wait in a long line and by the time I get up there all of the food is gone! I do love that you can request something and get first dibs on it as well!:)

Went to Dubuque for a night with the fam to visit Field of Dreams in nearby Dyersville. Pizza Ranch was on our hotel key and also had been recommended by someone, so we thought we’d give it a try.
It looks like a new location. Loved the ranch themeing that hits you as soon as you walk in. We arrived around 3pm on a Sunday so it wasn’t very busy, but the food was still fresh and plentiful on the buffet. I liked that you could order any kind of pizza you want and they’d deliver it right to our table. As we were first timers, Destiny was working the cash register and was helpful and patient with our questions. We had a party of 9 with no issues. I loved that they charged for kids based on their age. Obviously my 3 year old doesn’t eat as much as his 10 year old cousin. I wish more places did this!
The pizza was good and there was a nice variety. I loved the cactus bread dessert pizza. Fried chicken was yummy as well, and the soft serve machine is always a welcome sight at a buffet.
Everything was very clean, from the dishes to the silverware, the booths and the restrooms.
Sadly I’m not sure I’ll ever get to eat at this location again. Might have to figure out a reason to go back to Dubuque in the future.

Nasty. Cannot recommend in any capacity at all. Instant mashed potatoes; need I say more?

Lots of variety of pizza tonight. Buffet was neat and clean too. Very good this time.

Fantastic! This place was the best! I stopped there while we are on vacation in WI. One of the best experiences in a long time. Everyone was extremely friendly and the food was good! They have a salad bar which is great because it gets your metabolism for the feast!
They have great chicken which is something that you wouldn’t expect from a pizza buffet. They also have a great selection of different kinds of pizza which all taste great! I have also never seen such good looking desert pizza. They also have great ice cream. and the staff is super friendly. The restaurant is very clean and they have a great overall family friendly atmosphere which is great for the whole family!

I had not been able to find fried chicken I liked in Dubuque. In fact, one of the hardest parts of moving out here is that although my cooking improved (from fresh local goodness), the restaurants are nowhere near like what I am used to in NYC. I gave up on fried chicken.
Until Pizza Ranch opened. Now their pizza is fine; it is not what I prefer, but I will never get Brooklyn style pizza out here, and I understand that. And I even like their dessert pizzas. But their fried chicken? Fantastic. Nice crunch, not greasy, flavorful, and the chicken inside isn’t slimy or rubbery. It’s just perfectly done, and perfectly seasoned. That’s the appeal of it to me.
That, and the people who work there are so kind, and friendly. Very genuine. I’ve never had reason to grump, and always have reason to just want to give them warm fuzzy hugs — they’re just that nice! And they’re involved in the community, letting different teams and charities bus tables for tips. I love that because it puts a face to the people you donate to. Makes it more personal.
And you can’t beat the prices. It’s a nice place to go out with the family, a nice atmosphere, and built in such a way that even with kids, you don’t feel it is noisy.
Also, I always favorably review places where I can comfortably take my autistic 8 year old boy. He’s mellow there because it’s such a comfortable place, and no one looks at him funny if he hums (not loudly, he just can’t speak) or with other things that may make him stand out (like the computer he uses to speak). Any place that welcomes him has my heart.

Great buffet. Ummm, umm. fried chicken, mashed potatoes, pizza and salad bar.
2 adults 2 kids eat for 22 bucks (includes drinks) at night or at lunch. Great deal.
The ice cream is creamy, too — -not that icy stuff that some places have for soft serve.
…great place for families and groups. yum.
