Pizza Ranch

My first Pizza Ranch outing.
Was fun, just fine, and nice buffet with the comfort foods.
Put some extra time and thought before you order so you get your best pizza if you are a foody. Otherwise plenty of food flowing through.
Con: will you eat too much?!

Good variety. Friendly staff. Very Clean. Hot fresh food on the warm side. Cool, crisp high quality on the salad side. Great buffet.

Pizza ranch is an all you can eat buffet with fries chicken and pizza. The pizza is tasty and you can request one of their specialty flavors if you want (I always ask for their buffalo chicken one). If you eat here regularly, you can save money with their free pizza club card. If you don’t like pizza, their chicken is decent (not great). The sides (mashed potatoes, carrots, potato wedges) aren’t bad, but I wouldn’t come here if i didn’t eat pizza.
The service is always friendly and professional. They do a good job keeping it clean even with all the small kids who come here with their families.
The dessert pizza is a favorite. I like the peach and cactus bread.
Sometimes they run out of decaf coffee. They have a tea machine with green and black. No alcohol.
This place is run by Christians, and I’m not sure how much of their profits get turned over to their political agendas. It’s not obvious, but you’ll pick up on it.
I wouldn’t take a date here, but if you’re hungry and have fussy eaters, it’s a good choice. I prefer this to old country buffet for mixed groups with kids.

This evening I took my daughter to this Pizza Ranch. It was hot, stuffy and filthy, food all over the floor. A supervisor was way to busy chatting it up, one poor girl was cleaning tables, one girl at the register and phone. It took 2 attempts to get a requested pizza to our table. Plates sat for 15 minutes at least on our table. I have been to many other Pizza Ranch’s, this one by far is the worst one I have ever been to. The Little Falls location is by far much better. I might have a more positive comment if the place was clean.

Great chicken on buffet, adding ice cream was a nice touch. It’s a clean well run buffet. The pizza is boring and not very good for a place with pizza in their name

This place is pretty good, I like the buffet choices. The fried chicken is good, lots of pizzas and desserts to choose from. They tend to be busy most of the time. Good for families or just a quick bite for you and your significant other.

Actually VERY good pizza.
You would normally think a chain pizza buffet place would be kinda sketchy & bad but NO, actually pizza ranch pizza is very good and I appreciate all the different unique toppings they have. Many kinds to choose from, chicken brocoli alfredo is fave of mine. I hate buffets but this place is the one exception. I will go to this one because its always clean and the pizza is always hot and tastes good.

Pizza sucks. taste like a frozen pizza, but it is not. The fried chicken and mash potato and gravy are great.

I love all the choices of pizza at Pizza Ranch. I love the fact that my husband and I can both get our favorite pizzas and we don’t have to compromise on toppings. When we order a pizza we have to have a half and half pizza. The chicken Alfredo is the best pizza. I always request it so I can be brought to my table. I love that you are able to request pizzas to be brought out. Some other Pizza Ranch locations I’ve been to do not do that. The staff are friendly at this location and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time.

The reason we ate there was, because my husband saw a photo with John Wayne on it, and he is a big fan of him. So, it must be good! The other reason was, that we were hungry! The place was crowded as expected around that time. After we got our cups for drinks, we squeezed ourself around the table. The buffet was n the back, and we had the choice of various thin pizzas, cut in slices, also sweet desert pizzas and chicken. We ate more of the chicken and desert pizzas. There is also a soda fountain and ice cream machine Wasnt impressed with the pizzas and their display. It got loud always with kids running around! On weekends it costs somewhat more, but the selection is about the same..

Sound the dinner bell because the feed troughs are open at the ranch.
Maybe it’s evolution but I seem to be missing the genes that cause most Minnesotans to flock to any restaurant with a buffet and disregard all quality standards in place of sheer quanitity. The food here is edible but not enjoyable. Everything about the pizza is low grade, the fried chicken was dry, the salad options were boring, and the cheese bread was soggy with grease. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing wrong with the buffet concept or serving myself but the food here just isn’t worth saddling up for.
Never the less I will probably be back because they support local non-​profit organizations by hosting sponsor nights where a portion of the profits go to organizations and youth sports teams. Also the staff couldn’t be nicer, they are always checking in on you and offering to make a custom pizza for you to put on the buffet (which they give you the first slice of before putting out.)

This is not my typical four-​star-​classy-​fancy-​high-​end type of place. This is a chain restaurant. For what it is, it still deserves four stars.
Here’s why:
The pricing is reasonable. It’s a buffet! You make the decision for how much food you’ll ingest. Also, if you go in the afternoon, it’s cheaper!
If you like a certain type of pizza, you can ask for it. AND THEY’LL MAKE IT! For no extra charge, and then BRING IT TO YOUR TABLE and let you have first pick of the pie, so no buffet hogs will eat it all before you get your hands on it.
They have a salad bar, pizza buffet, a selection of chicken, vegetable, and potatoes as well as a dessert table COMPLETE WITH some of the most surprisingly delicious soft serve I have ever had. It goes great with the cactus bread.
Seating is rarely a problem, though this place is popular. There are even private rooms if you have to make a reservation for a big group or a special event. They are not open on Sundays, on account of the higher-​ups being the religious type that honors the Sabbath. (Or at least, that’s what I heard.)
