The pizza was good and all the food was kept warm. The service was phenomenal with all the staff extremely on-top of everything and very kind. Would definitely recommend! read more

Friendly employees, clean, lots of pizza choices, fried chicken and veggies, salad bar, dessert bar (that I didn't see until leaving) and all at an affordable price. No wonder they were so busy shortly after they opened for the day! If you don't see a pizza on the buffet just ask and they'll make it and get it on it in no time. My favorites were the Texan (taco) pizza and the Sweet Chili pizza with chicken, green peppers, pineapple, red onion, and sweet chili sauce. Yum! read more

Came in to visit my son and his family and we decided to go to Pizza Ranch. First, let me say the food was hot. The restaurant was clean. The servers were right on top of everything but during our visit, apparently my son was coming down with the flu and just couldn't eat and started to feel sick the manager and I didn't catch his name. I'm sorry wonderful young man noticed right away there was an issue came over made sure everything was OK. Noticed he didn't eat immediately reimbursed me and was just so attentive to the whole situation. I can't thank him enough because he handled it so professionally and was just so awesome about the situation as it was I appreciate it and I look forward to coming back read more

I visited Springfield for work, and some coworkers suggested Pizza Ranch. The restaurant has plenty of seating with a good number of tables and chairs. Employees are nice and greet you at the door. The chicken is always top-tier, the sides are above average, and the prices are fair. We have a location in St. Louis that I've been to a few times, and I'll definitely be back for that chicken soon! read more

While visiting Springfield we decided to try Pizza Ranch. I heard they have good wings. The placecwas clean. It wasn't crowded. The service was average at best. The wings were very good. They were well seasoned. The pizza was average I really enjoyed the chicken. I forgot to get pictures. read more

Came here for spring field trip and the customer service is so bad. Party rooms are discussing! Do not recommend read more

Food and prices were ok. Chicken was really good for a pizza place. lol the pizza was ok.

Came here for dinner on a Thursday. There were different events going on and hardly no staff. The pizza buffet was empty, the chicken was buffet was empty. There was no ranch on the salad bar. The dessert bar was dismal. If you knew you were going to have these parties. They should have been prepared. read more

First time here thought there would be 20 or 30 pizza's to choose from, but there was only a small table with 4 or 5 and they were cold and awful They did have some fried chicken, no wings mostly thighs and legs, luckily I found one single breast. It was good. But all that money for one single breast? I wasn't going ask them to fry more and sit for a half hour. Place seemed dirty. Kinda gross. Find somewhere else to go read more

First went to Pizza Ranch with my family, and had a great experience! The chicken was really good, and I loved the pizza. The breadsticks were awesome, and they had a very elaborate salad bar, with lots of choices. They also offer dessert pizzas, and soft-serve ice cream, which was delicious! The prices were a little high, but as this is an all-you-can-eat buffet, it's understandable. Very nice service, they were quick and polite. The atmosphere was good. Not too loud. There were also some arcade machines you could play with while you were waiting. It was a very family/kid-friendly place, and I would definitely go back! read more

Food is awesome again & service was great yesterday. We will be going back soon. Plus they will make any pizza you request.

A lot of people have told me how horrible, but when I went there for the first time. I had the opposite experience, the service was great and so was the food. It is definitely a little pricey for the amount of options you get. But the quality of the food makes up for it. read more

We stopped for lunch yesterday...noon on Friday and the pizza bar had dessert pizza and 2 cheese pizzas. Looked like the fried chicken had just been restocked but that didn't last long since there was no pizza to speak of. After the fried chicken was gone, it took over 20 minutes to refill! Salad bar was nice but when you come in wanting and expecting pizza, salad doesn't cut it!! read more

Visited this location with my tour group of 100 students. From the first moment the manager stepped onto our bus to talk with the group, the manager Christina began sharing directions and procedures in a very angry and frustrated way. We figured...ok, maybe she is having a bad day, but then it only got worse after we began filling the restaurant according to her directions given. Christina continued to scream at the kids for no apparent reason, telling us they needed to make room for "actual paying customers." Not only was the place basically empty other than the one couple they seated in the middle of our kids, every single one of these kids was a paying customer. Christina yelled at the kids in one of the most disrespectful ways I have ever had someone talk to a group of well behaved kids and customers. After leading student tours for over 25 years, this was one of the best behaved groups of kids I have ever had, and they were treated with utter disrespect by the store manager. I will NEVER visit this location ever again. On a side note: Every one of the regular employees treated us with professionalism and kindness, and seemed embarrassed at how their manager had just treated us. read more

We visited Pizza Ranch as a family of 6 adults and 6 kids on our trip to Michigan City Indiana. We were promptly greeted and sat. The food was delicious! The pizza was hot and the chicken/fries were also crispy and great. My only issue, and the reason this wasn't a 5 star trip, was the pizza buffet wasn't stocked for a good chunk of time and the dessert pizza was never refilled. Other than that, it was great! read more

love the food so much and I need to take my little brother hear because he would love the fun zone

For a buffet style pizza place they have some amenities that are top notch. 1. They have a rewards program. 2. If you do not like the choices on the buffet you may order your own pizza (which is great for someone like me who does no cheese) and they bring it out too your table. 3. If you aren't into pizza they still have amazing fried chicken with fixings and a salad bar. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean and the food was really good; the chocolate cactus bread is beyond delicious and a sweet toothed eater could easily make a meal out of it! read more

This place was lacking they had like no pizza out some of them were cold. One of the soda machines weren't working they had no silverware.

It's natural to have a corral next to a ranch--right? So, if Pizza Ranch's buffet selection doesn't suit you, across the parking lot is Golden Corral's buffet. Or, the other way around. Both are variations on the same concept. The Corral subscribes to the "more is better" buffet model. Pizza Ranch says "let's focus on making fewer items better." More than half its food items aren't pizza but the same comfort foods you'll find at the Corral: fried chicken, green beans, sweet corn, mashed potatoes, fresh salad bar with various toppings, jello, puddings, and soft serve ice cream. Food quality and taste are about the same at both places. The Ranch includes drinks in its buffet charge, which is $1-2 less per person than GC. So, at Pizza Ranch you'll save $1-4 per person overall. Which is probably why the family of nine at the register chose ranch over corral. read more

I've always wanted to die in a cool way, like getting blown up, or getting crushed by a vending machine. I don't want to die at pizza ranch. The fried chicken was so wet that the breading slipped off, the salad tasted like rubber, and the potato chips were so soggy that the serving spoon tore through them like they were wet paper. Don't even get me started on the pizza, if you can even call it that. For literally being named pizza ranch, you would expect the pizza to be at least half decent, but the pizza was so indescribably horrible that I couldn't eat more than one bite. I wouldn't be surprised if this place is haunted by the spirts of children who decided to try the pizza. The rancid smell of what I think was Parmesan cheese, mixed with the musty feet smell of the Fun Zone, lingered in the air. Service was okay. The soft serve gave me jaundice. The lady running the soft serve machine looked very apologetic. Also, did I mention the fact that it's an all you can eat buffet restaurant, so all the food items were mixed together? The fried chicken was covered in mashed potatoes, and the breadsticks were covered in some strange cheese sauce. Can I rate this 0/5 stars? I rather would have eaten at the Space Vape across the street. read more

We had a group of 12. Food was delicious. Service was good. We had a good time. Desert was delicious and ice cream. Thanks staff

First of all, we had a long day driving with a trailer travel, so it's parked at the comfort Inn looking for food nearby that would deliver. The pizza ranch was the nearest option and their online ordering system worked pretty well telling us to expect an hour wait for delivery. After an hour and 10 minutes we called and they said they don't deliver anymore but use DoorDash and it hadn't been picked up yet, but they had our order. he suggested that he would wait until they picked it up before issuing a refund so that they didn't think it was canceled. Our food finally came after an hour and 45 minutes. The salads were OK but we were beyond hungry at that point and it was getting late. Also, they forgot to put in napkins and silverware - which were not available to us at the hotel either. the boneless chicken wings had been warmed over at that point, and they didn't have much taste. Unfortunately, the blue cheese dressing I ordered with the salad was also left out of the bag . We were also offered the free cookie, but it was tasting like it was burnt. Back home now looking for that refund and I hope they come through, but they have not yet. If they do, I will upgrade my rating. read more

We reserved a room for a birthday party and that was very easy. The food was great and there was plenty of it even with several large parties and a bus of college baseball players. The employee who came and cleared dirty plates was very friendly and he showed up frequently. The only bad thing was that they were completely out of coke. I was also told they were out of Sprite Zero, but that's gross anyway. It seems like they didn't get a stock of soda or something. The divider for the room we had was broken too so we couldn't actually split up the room the entire way from the other birthday party next to us. read more

I've been to a few pizza ranches before. This one is not the best. The cashier did not ask if I had a rewards card and didnt ask if I wanted a special pizza. I asked and she said yes. The buffet was sparce mostly pizza that was sitting there for a while. One thing I noticed was there was a lot of tables who ordered their own pizza. So I knew to run up there and get the leftovers of fresh speciality pizza. No soup that I saw on the salad bar. The salad bar looked kind of sad. Most of salad all picked over so I just skipped it all together. Nice servers. Tables clean but dirty carpet from other guests. 12.99 for adult dinner buffet 0-4 years eat free read more

I ordered take out a Large veggie pizza, garlic cheese toast, a taco salad , cheese fingers , chocolate cactus bread ( new!) The staff was friendly and even offered us free drinks while we waited. The prices were really good too. all that for 37 and change. There were only 2 things that were not so great, one they gave me fat free ranch for my salad ( yuck) and they gave me a regular strudel bread instead of chocolate BUT it was REALLY GOOD so maybe I will try the chocolate one . The cheese fingers were ok the garlic toast was good but not very garlicky. The veggie pizza was really good. I have not eaten my taco salad yet ! Overall it was yummy and I would eat there again. read more

Date of visit Saturday May 8 Pizza is ok. Liked the bread sticks lightly dusted with garlic. Marina for bread sticks was decent. Stay away from the mashed potato's and gravy. No flavor what so ever. I could make a meal from the fried chicken. Was great but just a bit greasy. Deseret pizza that i tried (apple and cherry) were fantastic. Would go back just for the chicken. read more

I came here and the staff is very nice and the food is decent. One problem is that the food is not sanitary on top of that the place needs some new decorations. The only best part here is the soft serve ice cream but,even with that the ice cream has a few chunks of something which is gross.Also the bathroom smells gross.They also need to clean the silverware. The only thing that is good or decent is the cheese pizza which I do not recommend if u are on a diet and the dessert is good. read more

First time at the Pizza Ranch and happy to report I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food as well as the variety offered. The buffets The Pizza Ranch offers four primary all you can eat buffets. The country buffet has excellent fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, fresh made potato chips, potato wedges, country style green beans and corn alongside buttermilk biscuits with the butter already inside. The chicken is a little oily but the flavor is spot on and super tender and juicy. The sides are delicious and properly seasoned. The pizza buffet offers a huge variety of very creative pizzas: mac n cheese, buffalo ranch, vegetable, meats, Hawaiian, and a number of other creative varieties. Everything is a step up from what you expect to find on a pizza buffet. Even the pepperoni pizza has an incredible seasoning that puts it over the top. A mix of thin crust, pan, and even stuffed crusts are offered with a mix of white and red sauce offerings. They do offer a gluten free option as well. Other buffets are the salad bar, decently stocked with soup options along with a dessert pizza bar with 4 types of dessert pizza; strawberry, blueberry, chocolate and all of our favorite.... the snickerdoodle pizza! Amazing!! The facility is clean and nicely decorated, great for families. The flooring throughout the facility was strangely slick, everyone was sliding. I saw them cleaning it so not sure what was up with that. Bathrooms could have used some attention but nothing that was overly offensive. Bottom line is that my expectation were low going in and I came out very impressed and stuffed to the gills. You can really taste the quality of ingredients all the way down to the soft serve ice cream finish that was smooth, creamy and delicious. I definitely didn't miss those annoying little ice crystals found in the ice cream at every other buffet... you know what I'm talking about. If you're in the area definitely stop in and give this place a try. They changed my opinion of what a pizza buffet can be! read more

Brought a group of 25 Boy Scouts. It was perfect. Food was great and Scouts got all they wanted. Everyone was happy including the adult leaders. The fried chicken was some of the best there is and it was a total surprise to find it at buffet style restaurant. The staff was nice and accommodating of a group our size. I have nothing bad to say about the place. read more

First and last time at Pizza Ranch. $23 for two. Super shocked walking in seeing three very small buffet tables: One was only pizzas (there were only three 1/4 pizzas on when we arrived), a table with chicken, potatoes and a few vegetables and a small salad bar. They have a vanilla only ice cream machine with nothing to put on it and the bowls were actually small plastic shot glasses. The chicken was super dry. The pizza was just okay. Nothing special. The macaroni and cheese pizza was the best. The place looked like it was worn down and the floors were filthy. read more

Pizza Ranch is a good place to go if you're really hungry and want to eat a lot for a nice price. They keep their buffet filled, and when I paid on my way in (as all customers have to do), the cashier told me to let the staff know if I wanted a kind of pizza that was not on the buffet. I only had the pizza, but there were other food items on the buffet as well: fried chicken, biscuits, salad, and more. I did try the peach and the apple dessert pizzas with a little soft serve vanilla ice cream, and those were a sweet ending to a good meal. A fountain drink is included with the price of the buffet. Although the pizza was not extraordinary, the message Pizza Ranch projected was. Throughout the restaurant were signs about their vision, "To glorify God by positively impacting the world," the prayer of "Give us this day our daily bread," and the date and time of a Bible study that is held in the restaurant. This is definitely a Christian-owned business. If you like that and want to support it, eat at Pizza Ranch. If you don't, then don't eat there. Regardless, the food was good and so was the service. read more

Haven't been ttnere in over a year because of the price combined with the bland food. Was required to go to a party there and... wait.... GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLIE, it's the same sucky food for over 20-bucks per head! And they have even deleted the soups from the bar. Next time I get "roped," (get it - pizza ranch?) into going there, I'm playing sick. My wallet and stomach will thank me. read more

Paid $15 and almost got sick after eating the food. The pizza crust was not fully cooked and the chicken was just alright. i Will never eat there again!!!! read more

On our way back from STL; decided to drive through Springfield; so my kid can see the Capitol. Seeing as the local school district no longer does the Springfield visit nor the DC trip; seemed like an opportunity. I was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant just off the expressway. Jr was not familiar with PR; so we drove by, but ended up coming back after a brief drive through the capitol. Service: Cashier asked if we wanted any special pizza orders; blowing my kid away: we didn't place any at the time. When the waitress swung by to pick plates; told my son that he can order any pizza and he went with BBQ chicken. Again, another surprise when they brought it to the table and asked how many slices he wanted, before putting it on the buffet. Food: The fried chicken does not get top billing at this place, but I found it better than KFC and many other chains in the IA location I used to frequent and same goes here. Excellent chicken and excellent pizza variety; pretty decent flavor too for a buffet. Ice cream and dessert pizzas top notch for a buffet. Overall: Service and Food: 5 stars! Deducted 1 star for dirty floors and garbage all over the place. It was a busy Sunday afternoon, but needed at least one more person on the floor cleaning and busing tables. If in the area, make sure to stop here! read more

This used to be a great place to eat but the last year and a half has made me hate going. Tonight the ice cream machine didnt work, they had no desert pizzas and the lack of selection was horrible 4 Pepperoni pizzas which is great if that's all you go for. I wont be back any time soon. read more
