My experiences have varied. I hope it opens soon with an explanation for why it has been temporarily closed. It is never busy when I have visited. My mind wonders if it is a health code violation when no one says anything. If it is closed for a different reason, it is usually announced ahead of time. As the city of murals and the county seat for Rock Rapids, things could be better. There is Pizza Ranch in George, IA and Luverne, MN. Both of these other locations have higher ratings. Maybe they are better.

It was not the best Pizza Ranch experience we have had. There was no ice for the lukewarm soda. There was no ice cream. There was very little chicken or pizza on the buffet while we were there. The bright spot was the young man who worked the register and cleared plates. He did an outstanding job! This location could do a better job for their buffet customers.

Visiting from out of state and decided to stop at a familiar place to get something to eat. Parking lot was empty, but it was also between noon and supper times. We were greeted when we came in by a nice gal. We ordered cheese sticks which were nice and fresh, 2 piece chicken dinner and 2 salads. The salad bar needed to be flipped and freshened up but had plenty of food stocked in it.

We stopped at noon for lunch. We were there exactly at 12 but the buffet (which cost $13 per person) had no fresh food. The pizza and chicken clearly had sat there quite a while as well as the potatoes which were not warm. The corn was dry and a funny color. Selection was very limited and the food was not good. One pizza was brought to another table first and the few remaining pieces were put on the buffet. That was the only fresh pizza put out in the half hour we were there. There was no coffee out (you have to ask for coffee). What a disappointment for the price we paid. We won’t be back.

This is the worst pizza ranch we have been to. Green beans are dried up and dark like they were from last night, lettuce is watery, no ice cream, mashed potatoes dry, 3 pizza choices… sad for the price

Excellent! We reserved the party room for 32 people for 2:30 on a Saturday. The buffet wasn’t available so I pre-ordered the meal 2 weeks in advance. Pizzas, chicken, sides, etc. Easy, but at the very last minute I had to add a few extras. Not an issue. When we arrived the food was ready to serve (always delicious) and we had nothing but compliments from our guests. Thank you for the top notch service from start to finish!

Traveling back from Okoboji over the weekend and had the pleasure of eating here. Normally we are hesitant for Pizza ranch, but everything else looked closed on Monday. This Pizza Ranch was the exception- they had a bus and about 60% of the front room full and the buffet was never low on anything. They had multiple people checking the food, cleaning the tables, and overall just providing outstanding customer service.

The food was awful. I have never been to a pizza ranch where the food was this bad. The food also took forever to make even though there was barely anyone there. Chicken was too dry or too bloody. We even had that one side of the pizza had absolutely no sauce but the other had too much.

The staff is always friendly. The pizza and fried chicken are the best around.

We were camping at Island Park. We brought the family in to dine on a Very Hot day. We had a tasty meal in a nice air-conditioned dining room. The owner was friendly and attentive.
