Lack of air conditioning and poor management are a big problem at Pizza Ranch on Wednesday July 23, 2025. the main dinning room lacks functional air conditioning, but the 2 party rooms just off the main dining room have cool air conditioning. The manager on duty however told me that I could never use those empty rooms because they were reserved for "special people". I told him that in the future I would boycott the Pizza Ranch and that I would also ask all of my friends to boycott Pizza Ranch because their management should have, under the circumstances of the main dinning room not having working air conditioning, allowed all paying customers into the well air conditioned rooms that are normally only for "special people", but they had no "special people" all day this day. I encourage everyone to join in a 30 day boycott of Pizza Ranch so they can get proper management to replace the incompetent management that was working Wednesday July 23, 2025 in the late shift, and they get their air conditioning fixed. It is sad to see Pizza Ranch failing and possibly heading for bankruptcy.

Took awhile for anyone to notice we were standing there waiting to be waited on. Then everything else was okay except for the young woman with her 2 children. One a toddler and the other maybe 4. She stood up front on her phone, it was on speaker blasting away. Her kids were on the table, walking around. She kept bringing them food but didn't stay at the table with them. I was hoping that the waiter would ask her to keep her eye on them but he didn't. It was not a peaceful meal. And if we would have said anything I am sure it would have been just horrible that we wanted to enjoy our meal not her phone conversation and her kids stomping on the table.

Food was meh. Friend chicken of all things was the best part. Staff was decent, but absent at times. Warm and stuffy feeling inside. This is definitely a one and done for me. Also, way overpriced for the food you get.

I go once a month on my way through Bloomington, IL and it consistently gets worse. Today I visited at 12 o'clock noon and it ALL looked old. Disappointed I asked for something fresher with meat. Simple request and someone came from the back to ask me exactly what I wanted, like I was going to wait for them to make a fresh pizza. It's dead lunch time and you don't have pizza made!!! Come on.

Worst buffet ever. Chicken was over done. Mashed potatoes were way too salty. And no pizza when we went up to the buffet. Only vanilla ice cream with no fudge or strawberry to put on top. What a waste of money!
I did a Toogoodtogo order, and it was not organized or sealed properly. I loved the variety of items that were in the order, but they just handed me a half open pizza box with all the food sloshing around inside of it. The food itself and price was good, but I didn’t care for the lack of organization.

Food was good but the service was too good. Everytime I got up to go to the buffet they cleaned my table so fast other people thought the table was not in use. I lost it a couple times

Food quality is just ok. Friendly staff. Many different pizza selections to choose from. Fried chicken is sinfully delicious.
