We visited pizza ranch for dinner and the pizza was good and so was the environment. Most locations the pizza that is available usually sits out for a little bit (including the dessert pizza) and it wasn't as warm as most people would prefer (including this location) so if you want fresh pizza I'd suggest putting in a request when you check in and pay to eat. All in all it was a pretty good experience if you are hungry and want a lot to eat 😁.

“Manager” on duty was very rude from the start. We had a party of 12. When everyone arrived (all on time so very shortly after we arrived) I went to pay and he very rudely asked “if I even knew how many were actually coming”. I said yes everyone is here and paid. My children all got their plates and started eating before my husband and I. My 3 yr old ate 2 chicken legs. He eats them off the bone so I never cut into them. A few minutes later my husband bites into a chicken breast and it was RAW. like barley fried raw ! I took it to the manager and his response was THIS HAPPENED EARLIER TOO ILL TAKE CARE OF IT !!!!! clearly if it had already happened he hasn’t “taken care of it”. We won’t be returning. I’m not sure if my son ingested raw chicken but he’s currently vomiting and diarrhea. Unfortunately we can’t prove it was the chicken! Definitely won’t go back
