We were at Pizza Ranch to celebrate our granddaughter turning 5. She wanted pizza and ice cream and this was perfect, and we all love the variety of food choices for everyone’s appetite. We arrived early and were greeted by Nick who also overheard mention of a birthday and set the birthday girl up nicely with a balloon of her color choice and Buster singing Happy Birthday. We requested a cheese pizza which came out for the kids, while the adults enjoyed the salad, always love the chicken and sides, and enjoyed pizza selections from the buffet. Everything was kept filled and fresh and the kids loved watching Buster go by and giving him dirty dishes. We were also treated to arcade play cards for the birthday girl with a few credits and she enjoyed playing with her brother then cashing in later for a little surprise. Pizza Ranch is always our favorite for chicken, pizza and salad. And Nick was fantastic.

Chicken was cold, was it leftover from yesterday??? I asked for pepperoni and sausage pizza and my wife asked for taco pizza special order for the buffet and they did a half and half but had taco sauce on the pepperoni and sausage half. That is gross 🤮 Also, the guy cleaning tables used the same dirty towel to wipe down the tables, at least five I saw. With all that said, buffet was full and clean, and the the robot was very friendly helping us bus the table. The employees were nice and friendly too
