Great food, clean restaurant, busses kept the tables clean and not a speck on the floor. The cashier could have been a little friendlier. I said we were over 60 do we get a discount and she charged us regular price. We the full price but at least the food was great, they kept the buffet filled and clean and the place was clean. We had buffet.

It’s a buffet so hard to eat your money’s worth. Definitely better as pick up or delivery. Place is always clean though a tad crowded. All in all if you have the money to spend a good place to go with family.

Pizza Ranch is a wonderful place to have a birthday party. All of the staff were excited to wish my brother a Happy Birthday throughout our visit. Thank you!

They layout is so much better than those in Waverly, Independence, and Charles City. Yes, that really is important in a buffet. The food was not great. The pizza was all undercooked and/or not kept warm enough. Many people would probably not even care.

Oelwein is open Friday afternoon it was my birthday, Independence,Iowa, is not open in the afternoon for the Buffet. We did learn you can eat off a menu, not just from the buffet.

Ya know… It’s probably one of the best pizza ranches I’ve been to. Always stocked with fresh hot food. Best chicken I’ve had in a while. The only thing that would make it better is if it wasn’t in olewein.

This is the BEST Pizza Ranch our family has visited, and we’ve been to plenty, even in several different states. The first clue to how awesome they were was the fact that they had several fresh pizzas on the buffet line moments before it closed. I love that they kept it fresh and stocked even in anticipation of closing it down. Our family of six came in about 13 minutes after the buffet had closed. We didn’t realize it, and they never made us feel bad about it. They only mentioned it in order to tell us that it was technically closed, so if there was a pizza we wanted and didn’t see, just let them know and they would make it for us. We mentioned wanting to watch the Field of Dreams MLB baseball game on TV, and she went over and above to find it on TV for us and turn it up so we could hear. The serving team didn’t clean up the salad bar until they were sure we were done. Next, she asked if we wanted any special dessert and put it a chocolate cookie for us and told us to make sure and get some ice cream, too. My kids were so happy! The service and the clean environment, including the bathrooms, and the yummy food made this a great experience for us! Thanks, Oelwein Pizza Ranch team!

I don’t usually eat in so I can’t say much about the atmosphere but the food is always hot, fresh, and fast. They have amazing delivery drivers!
