Best Fried Chicken in Iowa! I've been ordering their chicken through Door Dash for quite a while. Just found out they have a restaurant in Waukee with a drive thru; now I don't have to pay Door Dash prices. The chicken is very good, better than KFC or the Popeye's here, which is not good at all. I lived in the south and the west and would usually go to Popeye's but they are terrible here. Pizza Ranch has the best chicken!

Ordered a pizza and dessert pizza for our group when paid for buffet. Dessert pizza ALWAYS comes first...would prefer it at end of meal. Regular pizza came after we were DONE with entire meal and was cold...so it had been ready for a while. Disappointing

Buffet was empty, what was there had been there for a while. Lettuce for salad was brown looking and there was no pizza and like 5 pieces of chicken and it looked like it had been there all day. We didn't even eat there was nothing to eat. We should of asked for a refund when leaving but it looked like there was 1 guy working and we were already irritated and disappointed. Worst Pizza Ranch we've ever been too.
