“Food was good, service was quick and friendly. The fountain soda was a little off on the syrup balance and the restroom hallway was full of crane arcade games making it hard to move through if people were coming and going at the same time. Overall a good experience.“
“I'm happy that they have coconut shrimp. Most places have coconut chicken. They have options other than chicken. Love that. My husband actually ate more then he does at the other buffets, which usually means he enjoys. Something other buffets put in their food bothers my stomach. The food here doesn't agitate it. It's starting to become my favorite place very quickly.“
“In my opinion, the best Chinese food in Des Moines and all of Iowa. Only problem though, the Asian lady who owns the place doesn't like turning on air conditioning during hot weather ?Update 3/26/24: The buffet will be closing down permanently after 26 years“
“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 ?“
