Bad experience tonight at pizza ranch. Decided to leave a comment because it’s been happening more lately and I haven’t been wanting to go there. No chicken/broasted potatoes again, pizza sat on Buffet way longer than it should have (example: pepperoni & jalapeño cheese sticks on Buffet when we showed up at 6:15, still on buffet when we left after 7). Had some issues with the buss person as well. Not sure I’ll be back this time. Other customers were complaining also.

Much Better chicken with lots more meat. My husband actually ate there twice in 1 week that's rare He said the Better vegetables are better too.

My wife & I came in tonight for dinner. We paid, went by food displays but could not find a table open. There was no chicken, potatoes, dressing vegetables, nothing. Other people were complaining as well. We asked to get our money refunded which the manager did. It was not a good night at Pizza Ranch!

We were very disappointed this evening. It seems someone forgot to have enough chicken cooking. It was a mad dash to get a piece when a batch was brought out. It was also a short supply of dessert pizza. May think twice about going again. Unfortunately, not many dining places in town.

Response from Independence, IA Pizza Ranch

We strive to provide a plentiful buffet experience and regret that we fell short.

Good food and decent service. A better job of cleaning the floor after customers especially with young kid visited would be helpful.
