    I was greeted immediately after I walked in the door. The cashier was friendly and helpful. Well this place is certainly not the best pizza ranch I have visited but I certainly did not see the issues reported in other reviews. The place was clean but I was there shortly before noon so it had not been open very long. The employees were right on top of clearing dirt dishes from our table. I requested a meat lovers pizza when I arrived and it was served to my table within 15 minutes. I did notice that the food in the buffet was warm but not the piping hot that I have come to expect at the ranch. Everything looked well kept and was full. I did notice that the chicken was overdone. The cooking of the chicken is one thing I have noticed is the least consistent food item at the ranch. Some get it, some don't. Not over done to the point of dry chicken but could have been taken out a bit sooner. Lots of available seating and this is a ranch with ice cream. Still like these places.

    Our family likes buffets because, with a large group, everyone can usually find something they like. Pizza ranch has a pizza, salad bar, and home style food buffet. We are vegetarians and I am gluten-free. Usually I find enough on the buffet that I don't need to order a gluten-free pizza (not included with the buffet). There are several options of pizzas- our favorite being the Tuscan Roma with spinach, tomatoes, and Alfredo sauce on a thin crust- including veggie pizzas, cheese pizza, and cheesy breadsticks with pizza dipping sauce. This is a great restaurant for families!

    Come on in!

    Worst dining experience ever. Rude employee, dirty floors(only 4 tables w/customers), food all over the buffet table, and never going back.

    General - I had a work conference onsite in May and stayed onsite with family while attending the…read moreconference. Location - You have to drive for a bit outside of Brainerd/Baxter but you are right on the beautiful shores of Gull Lake. If you don't know anything about Gull Lake, it is one of the top lakes in the area. Big and beautiful lake - great for boating, fishing and swimming. Rooms & Building - This place has been around for quite some time and still gives off those old school lake resort vibes. I used to come here as a kid for a weekend getaway and some of the things have not changed one bit. Ha. All in all, they have kept up with maintenance for the most part. The rooms do show wear and tear but for how old they buildings actually are, you would expect worse. I kind of like the old-fashioned classic look - gives the building more history and a story than if they would bulldoze it and build modern. Amenities - The resort is loaded with things to do including a full-size gymnasium and ball court, a couple pools, arcade, hot tub, outdoor recreational activities, golf course, etc. Food - There are a few bars and restaurants onsite. We got pizza one night for dinner at the poolside restaurant and it was pretty good. Large size and priced very fairly for resort food. Vibe - Easy going and super friendly staff. No complaints. Reality vs. Online - Pictures that I saw on their website and online matched the quality and condition of the hotel and rooms in-person. No surprises. Price & Final Verdict - It is a classic location in the heart of Brainerd Lakes. It is different than just a "hotel stay" or smaller resort stay. It is a unique experience that one should not miss. Give it a try - great place for a weekend getaway with family and/or friends.

We didn't want to pay the equipment rental prices so we brought in our own inflatable kayak, and didn't get in any trouble. It's a beautiful lake, and we really enjoyed the view from the upper level deck near the Pizza place, which definitely had a good pizza! They gave us the wrong one, so I don't know what we actually got, but it was good. Thankfully they let us in to eat Pizza because upon arrival their system was down and we couldn't check into our room. The worker behind the counter seemed to be doing the absolute best minimum and wasn't super friendly. After lunch we checked back in and thankfully there was a much more competent and friendly person there to help us out. The system was still partially down, but he was able to give us some details on the status of our room and encouraged us to still enjoy all the amenities until we could check in. As another review mentioned the shower head was uncomfortably low for me, but I'm 6'6" tall so it's probably fine for most people. The indoor pool is quite nice and not overly chlorinated, no burning eyes from the fumes is great. My last thing is the way finding. I think part of it was the room we got (162). It was completely alone and not by any other rooms which made it hard to fine. Also certainly not as good of a view as upper level rooms. But in general there was very little signage and a lot of confusing stairwells with unknown destinations. We only stayed for the weekend, but I didn't feel very confident finding my way even at the end of our stay, so I feel like there could be an improvement there. It seems to be a good value for the money in this area and I would say it's worth checking out!
