Do you have boxing supplies?

They have standing bags that you can kick and hit. I think they might have gloves

Restaurant layout and entrance was not inviting. I felt cramped in the buffet area. Food was just fine.

Best pizza selection I have seen and you can create your own pizza...They don't have a good choice of salad dressing though. Over all my family enjoyed it

We went out for dinner and there was no chicken. People standing in line for it. Batch came out and was gone in seconds. Would think they would be prepared at dinner time. Asked about it and was told they were making more. Not my definition of buffet.

The food may be great and the employees may be very kind to there costumer. But be hind closed doors the chicken is out of their packaging for sometimes 4 days letting air flow get into. I've never seen them derp clean anything ( used to work their ) the place is clean out side the kitchen but inside is a whole different story. DO NOT EAT FROM THEM.

My husband went down to the Pizza Ranch and tried to order some dinner and the guy working took over 5 minutes to help him there were only 2 customers in the restaurant and the employee was just standing there not doing anything than he asked what do you want no kind of courtesy and my husband said the phone was ringing and they ignored the phone call they still had 15-20 minutes before they closed. I don't know but I think the owner should be concerned by the poor service and lack of care from these employees working on Father's Day I think they either need to be fired or they need to be properly trained on how to care about your job and how your not closed until a few minutes before the time schedule to close. My husband was so discussed by the lack of help that he left without ordering.

The pizza is good & so is the chicken. Take out chicken is a rip-off. The chicken piece are so small its ridiculous. They make wonder roast chickens look huge. Chicken legs the size of a pinky finger. Ill never order take out again.

They had a difficult time of keeping the pizza and chicken on the buffet, even though the restaurant was barely half full. They had to send someone for small bills for the cash register at 5:30 pm. Very ill prepared.

The last few times we have tried ordering, they will not answer their phone. Have called multiple times and just wait. Always end up having to order online so they can't ignore our service.

It was totally amazing. We had called and let them know that 20 to 30 of us would be coming for a family get-together and they were thoroughly prepared. And it turned out there was about 35 of us. The food just kept coming and every bit of it was delicious. We will definitely be there again

The salad bar was out of various toppings and had only one type of dressing available, in the half an hour that we were there this condition only worsened. There pizza choices were limited and other items in the hot food area were limited. With less than 1/3rd of the house full, I don't know if it is a staffing issue or just poorly managed. We are not gback.

Great place to eat. The place was clean, the food was fresh. I was there around noon for lunch so you kind of expect this. Classic Pizza Ranch. I would give it 5 stars except that this site has no ice cream for dessert. They do have the cactus bread, just no ice cream as nearly all pizza ranches have.

Pizza was not warm. There was no chicken during the evening buffet. Gravy was like cream colored water, didn't stay on mashed potatoes or stuffing.

While I'm usually excited for quick bite at pizza ranch. The one in Algona is dramatically lowering the quality of service, cleanliness, and food quality.

The Taco Pizza was quite delicious, was a bit disappointed that they didn't throw in some sour cream packs but gotta remind myself that it is probably a request item only. Fast prompt delivery...

Been absolutely horrible passed few times we ordered. Rude service, bad or missing food. The online ordering has NEVER worked for us. Constantly says the store is closed. We haven't been able to call and place an order in weeks. No one answers the phone. The voicemail is full. What a joke.

Very disappointed. The reason I came here was for the chicken. I got one tiny drumstick. When my husband asked if they had more coming out the server said yes. About 10 min later another server took a whole plate to a table that came in after us. When my husband asked again, they said they weren't making any more because they were closing soon. If I would have known that, I wouldn't have even gone there! Bad customer service people!!! If I could, I would give you no stars!
