Pizza Ranch - Willmar

We stopped on our way through town, we’ve been to few locations recently and we will never go back to the one in Willmar. It was busy while we were there, but nothing crazy, plenty of open tables. Part of the pop was out, tasted terrible. We tried at least 3 flavors before finding one that was good yet. When we first arrived there was several pizzas out with only 2-3 pieces remaining, most never got refilled in the 45 minutes we were there. The dessert pizza section had 5 pieces when we arrived and never got refilled in the time we were there. A few pizzas came out while we were there but of course they were gone in seconds. Another customer made a comment that it was always like that at this location. This location was over $12 more expensive than other locations we’ve been to in the last few weeks, it was the same time of day and same amount of people. It was very dirty, my son is 4 and got on the floor to pick something up and it was disgusting, more than just the current days mess. Around the edges by the wall was really bad, there was food that had been there a long time. My husband said the mens bathroom was gross. Nobody clear plates at all while we were eating in the entire dining room that I could see. We left hungry, which is sad considering the price and that it is a buffet. Very disappointing. Do not recommend and we will not be back to this location.

We must've gotten the B-team. The pizzas were extra flat and dry. The cactus bread was thin, dry, relatively plain, and was never refreshed for the entire hour we were there. The fried chicken was overcooked. The busser over-bussed every table, basically taking any plate that someone wasn't sitting in front of (heard numerous remarks from other customers that went to use the restroom that the food they were working on was gone). Then all at once the servers vanished into the back for about 20 min while plates piled and a slight line formed at the till. Cleanliness was up to par for the most part, the dining room was well lit, and there was no telltale odor of a dirty fryer.

It was extremely messy. Every table was dirty. There was a literal finger nail on a table! The floors are covered in food and are sticky. They brought out the cheese bread once our entire stay. The ice machine didn’t have ice. When we asked the manager about why they didn’t have ice, he said he “couldn’t make the ice appear “. The ice cream machine was broken. I am a little shocked at the conditions of this place. The corporate office needs to step in. Hopefully we can get our money back.

We stopped here for the first time a few weeks. the check-in type was friendly and one of the employees was very outgoing and wanted to make sure I enjoyed my experience. I love her (all pizza ranch) dessert pizzas. as usual they made a pizza of our choice and later brought them to our table. that was a good pizza ranch experience!

Very good service. space was clean and personal came to our table consistent to grab dirty plates and cutlery. eating was delicious and warm, not very long sitting. highly recommended
