Maybe my expectations were too high. Yeah the pizza was worse and Little Caesars and literally three times as much. The workers looks miserable and I kind of felt bad for them. The manager was sitting at the table talking with someone not doing anything. The chicken was good, but I can't in good faith say hey pay $15 for some decent chicken when you could easily go to KFC and get the same thing for like 10 bucks. The part that got me that was insensitive is that they play Jesus music there and that is just fine for a church. I just think it's a really bad business decision even as a Christian it's just like tone deaf in the 21st century. It was moderately clean but moderately dirty depending on the area. I don't like doing negative reviews I mean go look at how many five stars I've given. It's easy to impress me. As far as the people leaving negative reviews and then being like frequent customers it's like why are you going there. One time was enough for me to obviously feel like this wasn't a really good dining experience. I kind of felt insulted by the arcade it's like the bare minimum they could do to call it an arcade. It was my son's 5th birthday and he didn't like the pizza he wasn't interested in the arcade and you know I didn't get to take him to Chuck e cheese when he was two because the pandemic happened right March 10th. I felt like the employees were really trying despite being miserable and the chicken was decent that's what I can say. Fix your pizza clean the restaurant pay your employees more lower the prices maybe put ambient music on that isn't you know biased towards a...
Read moreMy family and I to go to Pizza Ranch for dinner on a Thursday night at 6PM with a party totaling 7, needless to say they were pretty packed. We were seated fairly quickly which we were happy about. The food tasted great, the employees were very fast to remove plates from the table, now to the disappointment. When getting my drink I decided to try Mr Pib, it was flat. Dumped it out, grabbed some coke, flat. Cherry Coke, flat. Tried a couple in the other machine, flat. Settled on some fruit juice that doesn't rely on much carbonation. Now, thankfully I'm more of a fried chicken and mashed potatoes type of person because there was almost no pizza on the buffet. Any time a fresh pizza came out, it was WIPED within a minute, it was to the point I could hear other people whispering amongst each other in confusion on availability. I get it, it's absolutely slammed, you just can't keep up. The dinner with my family soon turned awkward when I was done eating and everyone else had barley ate because most of their time spent was waiting at the buffet line for pizza to come out. So an average 45 minute dinner lasted more like an hour and a half. Again, great employees, great service. It's just shocking when a place allows so much seating when the kitchen/ovens can't keep up if those seats are full. I will be returning in the future, just probably not during a...
Read moreI recently visited family up in Michigan and had the great experience of visiting Pizza Ranch. I didn't know what to expect as I had never heard of it. We don't have one in Florida, so it was completely foreign to me. I have to say that as a buffet experience, it was just great. I also have to point out that while their pizza is pretty good, what they REALLY excel at is their fried chicken. It was tender, juicy and had an excellent, flavorful crust. I could chow down on it every day. I liked their side selections which, besides the standard vegetables, also included stuffing, which I have never seen offered anywhere else. I fill up pretty quickly, but I had my fill of drumsticks and thighs. Despite that I wisely left enough room to sample their pizza. The pizza is pretty good too. Coming from Boston originally, my expectations for good pizza are pretty high (i.e.: Pizzaria Regina). Their pizzas had a nice thin crust and came in a number of varieties. It's not my favorite gourmet pizza, but it will certainly do. My only complaints are that I didn't have a big enough appetite, didn't get to visit a second time during my stay and that they don't have a location in South Florida that I could enjoy. If you live in a state that has one of these restaurants, I TOTALLY envy you. Go forth...
