I was out this way to see my great nephew who was playing in a baseball tournament, and we stopped here afterwards for lunch. I have one near my location, but I haven't had a chance to get there yet. We did go about 11:15-11:30am & I have to say the place was pretty clean. Pizza came out regularly and was halfway decent, they had plenty of choices. The dessert was interesting. Workers came by often, to take away your plates from the table and were generally friendly and prompt. I really have no complaints and thought it was a decent stop. The buffet comes out to somewhere between 15-20 dollars per person which isn't too bad. I also thought the Fried Chicken was pretty good. read more

This is one of the nicest pizza ranches we have ever visited! So well kept, tons of food, everything working in the arcade, great prizes, and a very friendly staff! We will definitely try to come back again, even if it is out of the way! Very impressed! read more

I like pizza ranch because it give you variety of choices. They have a salad bar, different kids of pizza, fried chicken, and sides . The fried chicken is really good and could compete with local taverns. The restaurant is clean and has very friendly staff who are respectful and happy to help. The price is reasonable also. read more

My favorite restaurant. Christian business. Always see someone I know there. Great food and super affordable. It's $17 for an endless amount of food. I recommend the mac and cheese pizza and raspberry tea. They even have healthy food there too : D read more

My first time there my friend treated me for my birthday and I absolutely loved it! Amazing food! So many amazing choices! I love the ice cream dispenser!! I love that you can get a custom pizza made for no extra charge and get first dibs on it before they put it out for everyone else!! I loved the arcade too! Tiny, but tons of fun with all the games!! So many unique prizes too!! Highly recommend this place! Can't wait to come back!! read more

Pizza Ranch - Pizza Ranch drink dispenser! A lot of great choices! - A soda fountain machine featuring several beverage options such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, and others, with a promotional sign in front. The machine has a red and silver design, with branding for Pizza Ranch and Coca-Cola. The setup includes multiple levers for dispensing different sodas, and the background shows part of the restaurant environment. - Pizza Near Me - Sterling, Illinois

First of all, the vibes were immaculate. IMMACULATE. Second, the music just tickled me pink. The service was... service? Yeah. The food was pretty good. I was a little skeptical when a man robbed me of my pizza, but it was okay. Fries were good. Overall, it was unique. The best I can describe the one and only Pizza Ranch, is a if a Chuckee Cheeze and Pizza Hut had a baby. A slightly deformed baby. 100% recommend. read more

The food is overall all good. When you came here a few years ago for my grandfather's birthday. The service you go out front and you pay and then you can serve yourself unless you have something Pacific do you wanna order. There is a little area where there in the back that is an arcade. that's kind of nice actually me and my dad had fun fun in the arcade. read more

Great place to take our grandchildren when they are home for spring break. Great fried chicken and ice cream!

Meh food, but there's a lot of it. Good for a group feed. Was freezing inside. Service was pretty good.

Pizza Ranch, where you can graze like cattle on pizza and chicken. The food was ok, not the best pizza but it is hard to mess up cheese and bread. I thought the cheeseburger pizza was cool, the taste again was just ok. For $12 I would go there all the time. Seems like a great place to bring kids because of the games and plastic cups. read more

Fair pizza I like that you can order custom pizzas. The night we were there a manager had a friend dining abd brought the friend a huge, huge, plate if chicken fries. Completely emptied them from the buffet. My kids were upset because that was the only thing they woukd eat. The chicken fries were never replenished, and my kids ate almost nothing read more

We just had an extremely satisfying experience at Pizza Ranch in Sterling, IL. The chicken was fabulous, the pizza selection was great and the service, from the cashiere to the servers, was as good as an expensive restaurant. read more

We came in with a group of 7 about an hour before close and were the only table there. The people were super cool. I had a coupon for a free large pizza. I ordered the pizza and some other things, pizza was served and was great. Then, the manager came to the table and gave me my coupon back. I was so confused and asked him why. He said the pizza that we were given was not a large, which is what the coupon was for. (I never would have even realized that if he wouldn't have said anything). I asked if I could pay for the pizza, he said absolutely not. That's awesome service! The food is what you'd expect from a chain pizza joint, but the staff is great! We had a pretty lively bunch and they kept up with the wit. read more

It is what it is....standard frozen crust pizza and fried chicken are the main attractions. A salad bar and dessert pizza round out the menu. It's clean and uncluttered and servers are nice and friendly all the time. The manager Scott always goes out of his way to say hello. You can order a pizza any way you want it and it will come out piping hot. A good value for the money when it's all you can eat. read more

Sometimes it can be hard to go out to eat when you have a family with little kids. This place made it fun and comfortable. We live out of town but come back to Sterling to visit family and decided to check out the new Pizza Ranch on a Friday afternoon. What a great experience! The place was very clean, had loads of seating, and all the staff we encountered were very friendly with smiles on their faces. Food was good and they had more types of food than I expected. They had 8 or so types of pizza out at a time and the type of pizza would change every time they put a new one out, which was fun variety to our meal. I never knew what specialty pizzas would be up there whenever I'd go up. They had taco pizza, mac&cheese pizza, buffalo chicken pizza, dessert pizzas, and more. Apparently they could also make custom pizzas any way you'd like. They had a salad bar with a wide variety of choices, and well as items like chicken, waffle fries, mashed potatoes, stuffing; there was really something for everyone. Empty food trays were filled up immediately when they'd run out. They had a vanilla ice cream machine that was surprisingly delicious. (Buffet ice cream machines are usually disappointing, but this ice cream was super-good.) Beverage machines had lots of extra choices. Empty plates at the table were picked up promptly and the waitstaff interacted with us, asking it everything was good. The whole place was clean, including the buffet areas. The bonus was the arcade room, which our kids got a kick out of after the meal. It is seperated from the restaurant by a set of doors and smelled brand new. It had some really cool looking games and not only had games our early-elementery-age kids could do, but some the adults in our party wanted to try as well. Money for games and points you earned were all kept on plastic cards, which is a modern way of doing it. One of the games even gave us a big bonus, so we were able to pick out a whole bunch of prizes from the prize shelves. It looked like there was a party room right off the arcade room as well. It's hard to have a great dining experience with small children, but this place was a big hit with us! We'll be back next time we're in-town. A great place for a casual family meal. read more

Not a bad all you can eat buffet. Fairly wide selection of pizza along with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, potato wedges etc. The salad bar is typical for any buffet and there is also an ice cream machine. Service is decent and servers are friendly but not over the top. The building is clean and presentable so all in all a nice buffet style restaurant which makes the price right. read more

Went there as a group of 12. Was disappointed. Food was cold and greasy had to walk long ways only to get pushed out of line. I can only hope that as time goes on things get better until then we go to Clinton IA. read more

We do not eat here often but have had a good experience when we do. We ate here last night and the cashier when we walked in was extremely friendly and pleasant. The food is pretty good and there is a variety of pizza options to chose from. You can also request for them to make a specialty pizza that you want at no extra cost! They give you a buzzer when you put in a special request and when they have it ready you usually take it up to the counter and they give you the first slice of the pizza before they put it on the buffet. However, this last time the pizza took longer than usual to finish and when my daughter went up to give them the buzzer and get a couple slices of her special requested pizza, the pizza was already on the buffet and there was only 3 pieces left. She was a little disappointed she didn't get first pick. No big deal though, I assume somebody accidentally put the pizza out on the buffet and then realized sometime afterwards that it was actually a special requested pizza. There was plenty of other options though and our stomachs were full when we left so overall it was a good dinner :) If I were asked in my opinion what they could improve at this establishment, I would recommend they clean the floors a little better. They seem to always be sticky which is somewhat understandable being that it is a buffet. I'm sure there is many little ones that make messes while trying to be independent by making their own plates. Also, the ice cream is nice but it would be wonderful if there was more options other than just plain vanilla or at least some sort of toppings that you could add. read more

Went a couple days after opening day. Such a great place. Employees were so nice, pizza was great, place was very clean. Ordered a taco pizza for the buffet, they gave me a pager and when it was done 10 minutes later I went up and they let me have first dibs. Can not wait to go back! Highly recommend! read more

This is my favorite buffet by far. The fact that you can order any pizza you want, including stuffed crust, and it's all included in the buffet price is phenomenal. The salad bar is great (including their yummy chicken), and chocolate cactus bread is so delicious. Ice cream is surprising delicious... Most buffet places have ice chunks in ice cream... This is creamy and great with the dessert pizzas. But probably the best part of Pizza Ranch is their hospitality. Many times they've accommodated large groups even unannounced, and always with a smile. They help the kids and give extra tickets in the arcade if something's not working quite right. And the arcade is great for the kids (and adults). We go there all the time and will continue to do so. read more

The place is dirty, the chicken isn't always available.Oh, and their chickens don't have WINGS. Salad bar is a MESS.

One star is being generous! Pizza was greasy and tasteless. Potato soup just tasted WEIRD! Chicken was okay and salad bar was just okay. Hard to mess up a salad bar. We will probably not be back. Expensive lunch when you walk away from a buffet almost as hungry as when you walked through the door! read more

they have several pizza selection and even dessert pizza...chicken and Mac n cheese. also, a small salad bar... it's just sad they only have vanilla ice cream as dessert not even chocolate if they just want ice cream... I think they need a bigger selection like cookies and cakes and fruits.. small buffet.. I wouldn't be to excited go again. it's a nice place with small arcade and nice ppl. read more

Pizza wasn't that good, poor selection, didn't keep up with demand (empty pizza trays and food pans everywhere), cold food. I will not be back. read more

Dissapointment. That's the one word that can describe them. As a former worker there, I strongly urge you not to go there. The pizza is decent at best. And do not eat any of the mashed potatoes or anything else by the mashed potatoes. When I was working there, we don't have time to always be clean, so chances are it wasn't made with care. And don't even get me started on management. They are just crap. If you really want good pizza then go to angelos. Hands down best pizza in the area. Just do not go there. read more

The chicken and ice cream are excellent. Good variety of food. Staff was very polite.

I mean if you want a frozen pizza this is your place and if you want someone to cook the frozen box of chicken you got at walmart, this is your place. This franchise is clearly NOT FRESH. I taste nothing that makes my taste buds want to go back. I don't understand any of the good ratings. Maybe this tastes appeals to smokers who have no taste buds. I don't know, just guessing. read more
