Excellently reinvented for 2025! Great variety of specialty pizza, sandwiches, apps and more!

Disappointed with the Bison Bolognese. Arrived hot. Pasta was wonderful. The sauce... salty and hot-spicy. The Bison was ground like hamburger, and was entirely overwhelmed by the sauce. Not a hint of umami arrived to my tastebuds. Likely due to how little there was. If there was more than three ounces of minced meat on the plate I would be stunned!
Absolutely not worth the cost. I guess it's my own fault for order this from a Pizza Parlor

Nice place to enjoy a good pizza. Not sure if this is the case or not, but the pizzas seem to have got smaller from previous years, but still taste good. Service was a little slow, but still may be working out the early season kinks.

Slow service, got served after a couple large groups, even though we ordered first.

Grabbed a pizza before the Musical. Kiubber took care of us and did a great job!! I couldn’t decide what beer to order and he recommended the Badlands Gold and I really enjoyed it! Hubby even thought it was pretty tasty and he’s not a beer guy. He did enjoy his Merlot though. Pizza was good, just wish it came out piping hot! Great spot for big groups or families.

While the dough is nothing special and looks and tastes bought, this is a great place for a chicken BBQ pizza. With the exception of sun dried tomatoes (there’s no spice or seasoning to complement it), the unique flavors of the other offerings give it a charm that will keep you coming back.

The pizza was average and came out cold. The atmosphere was great. It's no longer a buffet style place. Unfortunately, our server forgot our drinks until after our food came and never checked on us once while dining and was a bit rude when giving us the check. Unfortunate experience.

Really good pizza and service. We enjoyed the veggie pizza. When you walk into the restaurant it feels like you have gone back in time to the cowboy days. Loved the place.

We almost didn't go because of some of the bad reviews, but decided to give it a try. It turned out great! The food is about what you expect from a buffet. The fried chicken was hot and tasted great. The pizza was decent, especially if you get it as soon as they bring it out. I felt the cost was very reasonable considering it came with the buffet , dessert and a soda. The staff was friendly and the gentleman that cleared our plates was always smiling. We will be back!

We came in during our road trip through the west just to order some takeout, the man behind the bar was very helpful, recommending dishes to us and the food came out within 20 mins, we were enjoying our pizzas at the theodore roosevelt park not too far away. 10/10 taste delicious

I can not imagine a less inspiring place to eat. This must be the place retired high-school lunch ladies go to work during off-season.
The entire food selection consists of fried chicken straight from the freezer, cold potato wedges, tasteless mashed potatoes, cold carrots, and canned corn.
Or, a variety of about 6 different pizzas, as tasty as the ones at the local truck stop. Yuck.
The salad bar was maybe the best option. Chopped green lettuce, spring mix, and wilted spinach. Just shy of a dozen toppings, although I could only identify 5 of them.
There has been absolutely no effort to have an exciting menu choice here. Management didn't even try.
Don't eat here. You deserve better than this.

Brought in a bunch of Scouts, paid $300 on buffets. Asked for some gluten, dairy free pizza for one of my Scouts with cerebral palsy. They would only make one if I ordered a carry out pizza, had to put down another $30 for that. Had to pay for the kids buffet and then more money for his food.

Gal at till was awesome, servers were friendly, food was okay. Manager making decisions about making a special pizza, I am not happy with. Heck, they advertise the gluten and dairy free options, but don’t say they are going to make you pay for it.

Go here to get scammed. We had three people and wanted to order an $18 pizza. We were told that if we ordered a pizza it was carry out only and we would have to eat it outside. It was raining. Our option to eat inside was to purchase the all you can eat bar for &16 each. There were dozens of empty tables. What would you do?
