- December 28, 2023Rating 5.0Food and service were outstanding!
- December 26, 2023Rating 2.0good chicken
- December 23, 2023Rating 1.0The buffet had only one ‘one’ topping pizza and all the rest were ‘specials’ (veggie, chicken ranch, etc) that no one was taking. The entire time we were there, no new pizza came out. Pizza Ranch buffet used to always have at least a pepperoni and beef or cheese out at all times. The buffet is way overpriced. We spent over $90 for 6 of us and that included an 11 year old and a buy one get one 1/2 off. Disappointed with what used to be a great place to visit.
- December 5, 2023Rating 5.0The chicken is the Best around. The meat is tendeotr and moist. The skin is very good. The salad is always fresh. The chocolate chip cookies one of a kind. This is to say the rest of the food is wonderful, hot and plenty to go around.

- October 14, 2023Rating 4.0Friendly cashier and other employees.
Good bus service clearing used plates.October 25, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch WaukeeThanks for visiting, Warren! Please come back soon! - October 11, 2023Rating 1.0Disappointed. Food was fine/good but issues with staff cleaning and loud group. When we entered there was an EXTREMELY loud group of high schoolers at a table laughing, then standing up to leave, saying goodbye. None of the staff said anything to them or requested they quiet down and it went on for at least 20 min. Later, there was an employee full on sweeping near the buffet as people, including myself, were getting food. Later, she started vacuuming which was very loud and it was only 7:30pm. Store doesn't close until 9pm. When she started vacuuming and we saw what I think was a Shift Manager counting her drawer we thought maybe they closed early. It seems the employees are certainly concerned with ending their shift right at 9pm and going home. I spoke with the employee vacuuming and asked them politely to not vacuum yet as there were people dining. She put it away and came out with a rolling sweeper which is more appropriate if she felt the need to keep cleaning. Another issue is that while we were eating there were employees hovering over our table (not kidding) as I finished some last bites, hoping to take my plate. They did this more than once to us and to another couple at a table nearby. The employees at this location need additional training on interacting with diners more appropriately.October 25, 2023Response from Pizza Ranch WaukeeThank you for visiting, Felicia. We have to make sure we're cleaning throughout the shift, or the dining room would be dirty and unappealing. That being said, our cleaning should be done in sections where no one is seated so we don't interrupt our guests.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will work with our front of house staff to fix the issues you encountered during this visit. - October 5, 2023Rating 5.0Love ❤️ Love ❤️ to eat at Pizza Ranch in Waukee, Iowa
