Grandkids are in town and a visit to Pizza Ranch was mandatory, mostly for the expensive video…read moregames. At 3:50 pm the main food display was without chicken, but adequate quantities of everything else. 6 or 8 people were waiting around for chicken. After 30 minutes of sitting waiting, like everyone else in the "restaurant ", I asked the girl who was working about when the chicken would be available. Her snotty reply was, "...just settle down." WOW! Chicken finally was brought out at 4;39. By that time we had pretty much lost our appetites and the grandkids had contributed over $30 for the video ripoffs. So, what could be better? Train your staff to treat customers like customers, not your enemies. Maybe hire a manager who knows how to run a restaurant and train employees to treat customers with courtesy and respect.

It was very goopy. The shrimp tasted nice, but the chicken was covered in an unidentified sauce. This was later identified as "almond gravy" - it was tasteless and simply added goop and sogginess to the chicken. The chicken itself was cooked well, as were the shrimp. The fried rice was fairly generic and required soy sauce. So, the meal was just fine. But, rather pricey for being fairly mediocre.

A buffet like that is always full of kids and families running around, especially on a busy Friday night when we went. With all that going on, there were always two or three employees walking the dining area and cleaning tables, clearing plates, and keeping it nice. This made for a far cleaner buffet than most of a comparable price point. Overall very good experience here.

I started with one of my favorites, the gyoza, which was a great way to begin the meal. I also ordered a piña colada that was absolutely beautiful, but it was a little too strong for me. I'm not much of a drinker and prefer not to taste the alcohol, so I ended up sending it back. One thing I really appreciated was the service. When the hibachi host noticed I was having trouble managing my chopsticks, he brought me a different pair that was much easier for me to use. It was a small gesture, but those thoughtful details make a difference. Another fun touch was the robot that delivered our soup and salad to the table! For my hibachi meal, I had seafood with shrimp, scallops, vegetables, and fried rice. The food was delicious, and I loved watching everything being prepared right in front of us. My total was $41.45. Overall, another fun and memorable experience. I'll definitely be back!

I love spicy food and the Hot Plus is perfection!!! My husband has loved every meat-based dish he's ordered, but he does wish there was an option to have more veggies added. Maybe something to consider. Their rice is perfectly fluffy and their cheese stuffed naan, oh my gosh, is just insane. Their food is beyond craveable. We were some of their first patrons and I have to say they keep making improvements. They've upgraded some of their furniture and menus and their hospitality has become much warmer. I think they've found their groove! I hope they have a long and successful life in Helena.
