Pizza Ranch — Restaurant in Branson

We were craving some cheesy, greasy pizza and thought a buffet would be exactly what would please everyone. We found pizza ranch and papa's grand pizza buffet. It was a toss up between the 2. The reviews were about the same. We came in at 1:36pm and paid for 4 adult buffets. There was a sign on the wall next to me that said happy hour buffet 2pm-4pm and it was 9.99/buffet. I just finished paying and made a comment like "oh sad, wish I would have seen that" and the lady was like that's at 2pm. I just thought to myself that if it were me on the other side of the counter, I would have let the patrons know to wait a few minutes to save a few bucks. Anyways, not really that big of a deal I guess. The POS prompted a 15%, 20% or 25% tip.... crazy for a buffet! We went to sit down and noticed the ice cream machine was broken. Sucks we weren't told. Got our first plates:iceberg salad was frozen and transparent which was disappointing. Good topping options though. I enjoyed the hardboiled eggs and cottage cheese. The pizza was mid. Not great, not gross. Just, there. Cheesesticks with pepperoni were also the only thing I liked ( for me personally). There was another side to the buffet with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, homemade chips that I couldn't even bite thru, carrots that were not carrots I don't think. Green beans were eh, but the fried chicken was pretty great. The skin was crispy and the chicken itself was pretty juicy. The mashed potatoes were actually pretty great too! Drinks were included which is nice. Online showed pasta and wings and they didn't have either of those here. Bathrooms were pretty gross too. The lady taking our dirty plates was awesome and very kind! We won't be visiting again but goes with our experience in...

Pizza is always good, but my personal favorite is their fried chicken and potato wedges! Although, the last time I bought an 8 piece, the chicken was the smallest pieces of chicken I have ever seen in my life and I have seen some small pieces of chicken. I grew up before they started feeding chickens growth hormones!!! I almost complained because instead of eating 1 piece of chicken and being full I had to eat 3 pieces and barely got full...but I will mention it the next time I order it just because I really don't think I got my money's worth and maybe it was just that batch of chicken they received??? This is actually why I only gave them 3 stars, and also because I use the Pizza Ranch rewards card and it just doesn't reward with enough savings as far as I'm concerned...their prices are high, their pizzas are very small, the small pizza isn't much bigger than a Pizza Hut personal pan pizza. But again, with all of this aside....me being a "Karen" lol I do like their food the taste (quality) is always spot on expect for my little gripes. BTW, we ordered an 8 piece chicken with an order of potato wedges with a small Buffalo pizza. My gd ate the small pizza in one sitting, any where else she gets 2 meals out of a small. I'm updating my review because their service and food are...

Kind, consistent and incredible, Pizza Ranch is my go-to for budget friendly pizza in Branson when I just need to fill bellies and not destroy my kitchen. Is it the fanciest pizza I've ever had? No, but knowing how to have the best experience is all about how you order!

Skillet crust is delicious, miles above the other crusts. This is also why Pizza Ranch has such delicious cheese sticks and dessert pizza- utilizing this style of crust for both!

Cactus bread may look simple, but it's DECEPTIVELY delicious.

Delivery? Incredible. My delivery drivers are always incredibly kind and have smiles on their faces. PR has their own delivery vans!

Takeout? Awesome! They have a 2 for 25 deal on specialty large pizzas (that you can modify) and it's ALWAYS more than enough pizza for three pizza-crazy adults going in for seconds and thirds.

I highly recommend getting a ranch rewards account, because occasionally they'll pop a 5$ coupon that you can whiff at whatever you're getting. It also makes it easier to know when theyre having sweepstakes ! (Happens more often than you think!)

The Branson location keeps an absurd amount of locals fed, caters countless events, is consistent, yummy and the employees are incredibly lovely- and I have zero complaints. Feel...
