Pizza Ranch - Ankeny

I'd honestly say the fried chicken at pizza ranch is their best item, the pizzas are really tasty and have a great selection when dining in for the buffet option, but that fried chicken is absolutely divine. Every time I'm in Ankeny from the UK I always make sure I get some of that fried chicken. All in all a good atmosphere, plenty for the kids to do while you have your fill of the buffet. The cactus bread is also a must try item ? the selection of buffet items is always nice. With items ranging from mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy to a more traditional salad bar and you're never short of pizza as they refill the buffet trolley every time it gets anywhere near low. Also you have to love a restaurant that has a robot called Buster who wanders around for you to deposit your dishes. Would definitely recommend Pizza Ranch to anyone who hasn't tried them. Parking: Plenty of parking. Never had a single instance of not being able to park. Kid-friendliness: Lots of things to do for the kids here, an arcade centre with plenty of toys that can be won should help keep your little ones entertained while you fill up on all that chicken and pizza ?

Pizza ranch has always been my family go to for Pizza and Chicken when we all got together and will continue too until they run out of business it's a great family restaurant and now they have a robot that goes around for putting your dishes in it check it out!! Kid-friendliness: Has a really cool arcade with lots to do for you and your kids!!

Pizza Ranch has always been great for a quick bite of comfort food. They 're always willing to put in a fresh pizza if they don 't have one on the buffet already.I have been somewhat discouraged the last couple of times I 've been in this location because of the robot ? that drives around. I understand that it cuts down on overhead (although the buffet price hasn 't gone down), it 's quite annoying how frequently the thing comes around when you 're eating. Not only that, but it sits right next to you and keeps asking you to put your plates in the bin.Maybe a do not disturb area, where the robot isn 't programmed to enter, would help with this? You clearly still have other workers bussing tables.

Always good food, good variety and good service. A good place to go when you are hungry.

Always friendly greeting and service pick up staff. There is always pizza available and they are quick with
