Pizza Ranch

I have been to other Pizza Ranch's and have enjoyed them. However, I was very disappointed when I moved to Harvey and realized that this one really is horrible.



There are two huge cons.



Con #1 - The food at the buffet is typically running out no matter what time you go in and how many people are in there. The last two times I was in there they had ONE kind of pizza out (cold and old) and 20 people who had already paid for the buffet waiting in line for more food to be made. Also, the salad is either empty or rotten.



Con #2- The staff is very unfriendly and rude. It is not uncommon to see them sitting on the counter in the back or standing around doing nothing while there is a long line of people waiting for food. All of the signs say (like at other Pizza Ranch's) that you can request any kind of pizza while you are there if you don't see one you want. This time, when we got there (45 minutes before the buffet ends( there was some cold fried chicken and three pieces of pizza at the buffet. When we walked in we heard them groan and complain about the fact that they had more customers. They did the same thing when another man entered 15 minutes later as if how dare we have the nerve to come into the restaurant. After we ate the pizza that was out there my husband requested a pizza be made since it didn't look like they were wanting to refill anything on the buffet. In the back we saw one of the ladies roll her eyes and said, "Is he going to eat the whole pizza? No one else is going to want any. Who would want that pizza? It's gross. The way I make my pizzas is way better!" Then 5 minutes later she came back and said, "We can't make that pizza because we are out of arugula." My husband said that it would be fine without it. She dragged her feet to the back where they resorted to more complaining. Also, sometimes when we go in we are the only ones in there but not a single table has been cleared off for us to sit at.



My recommendations:

If you want to eat pizza in Harvey then order from JW's. Their pizza is fabulous, not near as greasy/salty.

If you really want to eat at Pizza Ranch DO NOT get the buffet. Their order out service is much better than ordering in. Better yet, drive an extra hour to go to Minot where you can have your choice of any pizza with polite service and a clean eating space!
