Terrible food isn't even good the pizza wasn't even any better than pizza hut. Cheese barley melted tasted like it had been sitting for an hour the salad bar is bigger than the pizza bar. Staff wasn't the friendliest ethier.

This place is great, reasonable buffet price, good food, constantly restocked with pizza, wings, pasta, desserts, etc. The server was great about clearing plates and refills. Worth the drive from out of town.

Service was good initially until waitress said her shift was ending. Said someone else would provide service...never had anyone else stop by our table. Too bad I tipped before waitress ended het shift. Salad bar was good. Other buffet items were disappointing. Employees standing around should have been keeping buffet area cleaner.

We had a lovely group dinner here, eating from the buffet. The food was plentiful and very good. I would recommend this as a very nice stop on a trip.

Food was amazing, waitress was sweet, but whoever is seating people and taking money needs to work on their customer service skills. She not only overcharged us for our to-go food, but also wanted to argue when we tried to get our money back. $15 worth because she charged us an extra meal and tried to deny it because she purposely threw our reciept away. She also wanted to throw a fit over some plastic silverware and asked why we didn't have any at home while we were actively paying for a to-go meal. It was incredibly rude and uncalled for. We spend $50 on food to be disrespected and got treated like garbage at the end. I understand making a mistake, but own up to it and genuinely apologize when that happens. The attitude she gave us as customers ruiend the entire experience for us. Apologizing goes a long way.

Food was pretty good. Would like to see the salad bar a little more cold but it was a really hot day and ppl were coming in and out.
I was iffy on going due to reviews but honestly, our table was clean, buffet was being kept up by staff, bathrooms were clean and our waitress was great.

The chicken, potatoes and gravy and vegetables were pretty good and I think that and the wings were my favorite!

My son enjoyed the spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread.

Great place to dine in at the buffet or even carry out! I use their business for school catering meals, and personal lunches. Staff and Owner are always friendly and attentive! Great place to have in town.

Everything I tried was delicious! The salad was great, as were the fruits and crab salad. Their pizza was tasty and their fried chicken was moist and very delicious! Even the popcorn shrimp was good! The only thing that fell a little short was the mashed potatoes and white gravy. They were instant potatoes, which I understand; but never stack up against real mashed potatoes. The service was excellent, always coming around to see if we needed more to drink or bring more plates. The place was clean and the buffet was kept full and fresh. It didn't look like anything was sitting out for too long. We were in town visiting...wish we had a Valentino's where we live! I was pleasantly surprised and a little too stuffed when I left! Great job with plenty of variety to satisfy everyone.

The service was amazing and the food was great with a large variety! Thank you for making my mother in laws birthday so special! Excellent job!

You long for pizza. You long for buffett. You start a quest to find a place that not only has a pizza buffet but also great tasting pizza with a big selection.

Tis Friday young adventure and your adventure starts with Pizza Ranch. Off you go. The journey is short.

Pizza Ranch doesn't meet your needs. You continue and journey to The Amazing Pizza Machine. The journey is long but you arrive to a land that looks to check your every box. Is your quest finally over?

- 3 happiness

Alas the vast variety shows you not to trust your eyes, for they lie to you. Soldering on you learn of Valentino's. But the journey is long. Is two fortnights worth it? You take a break and rest but the next day you set forth for the land of Italian buffet. You arrive two fortnights later.

But you find the selection is small. The food is great, though not 75 options great.

- 5 sleep

You are so close to completing the quest, though you wonder if you ever will. An adventurer tells you of a land called Godfathers. You go.

- 10 happiness
- 20 health

Alas, the adventurer lied to you. Just as you give up you find out 4 fortnights away is a Valentino's with the grand buffet. Is this the answer to your prayers? You make the journey.

You have found a buffet with great variety...in everything but pizza. You are disappointed by the skimpy pizza buffet. But there's a huge salad bar so you feast on a salad and pasta. Why's the pasta taste rancid you ask yourself, as you wonder if you'll be sick later...

After feasting you finish with ice cream, only to find it doesn't look right. Is vanilla supposed to be that color? You taste it. It tastes of flavorless ice. You have journied far to end in failure. You head back home.

Is this the end? Have you started a quest that can't be completed?? You look for answers but will they come....
