My friend's son who is 16 loves Pizza Ranch & anytime he comes to do some work with me at my warehouse he asks me to take him there for lunch. We have been 5 times in the past couple of months & I've got to admit it slaps. The pizza buffet at Pizza Ranch makes me think back on the good old days when I was a kid in a small town south of Nashville where we had Pizza Inn, Pizza Hut & Mr Gattis all offering pizza buffets over the years. Sadly they all closed & that fun experience of a pizza buffet had largely eluded me until recently. Not anymore though! The pizza offerings here are honestly pretty damn good. Some of my favorites are the big bopper (cream cheese base instead of red sauce), stuffed crust buffalo chicken, & the amazingly delicious blueberry cobbler pizza. Their other offerings like fried chicken & a random assortment of sides on the buffet are not worth even looking at imho. You come here to eat too much pizza & that is what it's all about. The quality is better than delivery & for what you pay (10.99 pp) it's on par with delivery prices. They also have a pretty good rewards program.. The place is large & always kept clean. The staff here are always working hard & I hope the ownership/management is proud because a lot of chain restaurants fail in that regard. I came here one day when a school bus full of kids was walking out & had depleted the buffet but within 5 minutes they had it all restocked hot & ready. The best part about Pizza Ranch is you can ask for any pizza you want & they will make it fresh & put it out. You don't have to worry about missing out on it either because they give you a buzzer and when the pizza is ready you come up and they will give you however many slices you want before they put it out for everyone else. I think that's pretty rad. Let me be clear, you're not getting artisan style high quality ingredients pizza here, but the pizza is good, the service is very good, and the value is exceptional. This is a place everyone can afford & almost everyone will enjoy. read more

Yummy! Lots of pizza options, fried chicken, potato wedges, salad bar, and great dessert options. Bonus: Since this is a pizza bar, I'm so grateful they had gloves for the guests. Even though I was the only one using them lol read more

Pizza Ranch - Buffets Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

We were there on a Tuesday night so Kids night. Salad Bar, Pizza Buffet and some hot table items such as fried chicken, hot chicken, tenders, mac and cheese, potato wedges or steak fries, pasta, bread sticks, our table really enjoyed the dessert pizza (apple or blueberry) The fried chicken was good, enjoyed salad bar and cottage cheese. Drinks are Pepsi products ..quess they switched 2 months ago. A chain out of Iowa, first franchise in TN. Not bad and reasonably priced...also had some serve ice cream...smaller menu than a Golden Corral but Quality was better and price. Very family oriented. read more

Good stuff. It's a pizza hall trough with fried chicken and salad. I think it's better than most. Reasonable price good food people are very friendly and the place is clean. read more

We've always loved Pizza Ranch, but a couple of recent changes have been really disappointing. First, they switched from Coke to Pepsi products. That may come down to personal preference, but the Pepsi options they're offering just aren't very good. More importantly, they appear to have removed the disposable gloves that used to be available at the buffet for guests who are more germ-conscious. They haven't been there the last few times we've visited. That change is especially frustrating and is the main reason for the two-star rating. I hope the owners/managers will consider bringing those back. read more

It has been about a year or more since the last visit to Pizza Ranch, but in recent weeks we've been twice. A lunch buffet special brought us in, and we enjoyed it. read more

I love the pizza they have. Expecially the "BBQ" side options. When ever I go the employee or manager at the register always seem positive. Making you feel welcomed. The one issue I have is their potato wedges are undercooked or over cooked from time to time. As for the music, sometimes it's playing sometimes it's not. I could tell you what the vibe is like while eating. read more

Great food, exceptional service and friendly staff. Staff were busy keeping place clean and fresh pizza during peak dinner rush. Ambiance was excellent. read more

Giddy up to this Ranch lil doggies! Salad bar was nicely stocked w/ a wide variety of toppings & dressings. Hot buffet had mashed potato, amazing fried Jojo's, vegetables, fried chicken, hot chicken, fresh chips, etc. pizza side had 8 pies always changing & u could order your own. Mac & cheese pie was the best I ever had by far. Deserts were apple, strussel & awesome blueberry pizza pies. Best was the chocolate chip cookie pie that was perfect & crunchy. Southern Tea topped the included beverages. Most amazing of all was how clean the place was with the bussers actually wiping down the legs and feet of the table and chairs. Place seemed like it was brand new. Wish this place was up north. read more

The pizza was ok, but the star of this place is definitely the fried chicken. I'll be ordering that to go next time... Yum

Went there Saturday, Jan 17th, 2026 w/my sister and her fiance. We paid $17.32 each for the worst buffet ever. The only thing worth eating was the ice cream and the blueberry dessert. The pizza was limited, no pasta or hot food and the salad fixings were old and was not fresh. There was no one around to stock the buffet or to ask for refill items. Never will go back! Highly disappointed and not with the money! read more

We live a mile away and everything was cold and the driver did not follow instructions. This is the second time we have tried them. There won't be a third time! read more

Amazing experience! I generally don't like buffets but this place was great! Food was all super fresh - you can custom order any pizza you want... don't like pizza? Chicken and sides or salad bar are legit too! Drink and dessert is included! $10.99 til 3p beats fast food prices. Oh and the best part... Ms. Jennifer S is the most jovial employee! I watched her interacting with multiple customers and she was continuously super friendly and was constantly running thru the buffet keeping it stocked and cleaning when she wasn't at the register... if this were my company I'd give this lady a big raise and keep her there!! read more

I love to come to Pizza Ranch a very nice place to eat .The waitress name Carly is very nice give me very good service.Always come to get plates off the table and always asked how I'm doing. I thank you Pizza Ranch read more

I believe this location has been here for a year or maybe two. So, I decided to stop for lunch for some fried chicken, pizza, and salad. The staff was friendly and had lots of selection at the buffet. I had no issues with anything. The pizza was fresh, the chicken wasn't overly greasy, and their salad bar was perfect. Their health department score was 100, which is nice because I didn't have to be concerned about food poisoning. Furthermore, their restrooms were spotless, and like I've always said, if an establishment's restrooms are nasty or trashed and they're in public view, what makes us believe their kitchen area is any different? What's concealed behind closed doors away from the customers? Seriously, think about going to the restroom before dining at any restaurant. read more

I generally am not a buffet fan but Pizza ranch is not the norm! We expected this place to just be a pizza buffet but we were wrong! I've never seen a "pizza" buffet with fried chicken and mashed potatoes! Everything about this place is different than your average pizza place or buffet! The buffet line is super clean! All of the food is hot & fresh! Fresh food is rotated in & food that has been sitting awhile is rotated out! Cashier at the front was very nice & helpful! He gave us the overview of what to expect! The dessert pizzas were our fav! We will def go back to pizza ranch! read more

Did you know this is the only location for pizza ranch in Tennessee!? We were shopping nearby and got hungry so we came in to eat. We had never heard of this place before and was surprised to find out this is a chain restaurant and this is the only location in TN so far as of Dec 2022. Who knew! A very solid place, like ceces pizza buffet. We paid roughly $35 for 2 ppl, this include all of the pizzas including dessert pizza, ice creams, fountain drinks, coffee, a full salad bar with pasta! Oh, also their juicy fried chicken was my favorite! Honestly better than a lot of chicken places in Nashville!! However, I did not like their Nashville hot chicken flavor, it was too sweet for me. The service was good, staff were attentive and friendly! The environment was ok, nothing fancy but it's also a family eatery. They also had private party rooms you can reserve for all of your kids birthday parties, I think it's an awesome deal if you like all you can eat pizza! read more

The buffet was super clean and the inside was very clean, neat, and peaceful. I will 100% be coming back and the price is very reasonable. read more

Pizza Ranch - Buffets Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Restaurant management is friendly and helpful; I try to stay away from wheat, and I was able to order a gluten sensitive pizza for $2 above the buffet price, awesome! They call it gluten sensitive because they can't guarantee there won't be cross contamination. The manager told me I could have anything else on the buffet that I wanted along with it. Any salad bar that has pickled beets is a salad bar in my book and they didn't disappoint. Lettuce, black olives, shredded cheese, tomatoes, pudding, etc all was fresh and tasty. Several pizzas to choose from, plus a hot bar with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy with potato wedges. Chicken had a crunchy crust and was nicely brined, mashed potatoes were smooth and tasty. Potato wedges were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Did I mention that there was pasta with marinara, along with ice cream, dessert pizzas chocolate chip cookies and drinks included?? Great deal; great selection to choose from at a great price. read more

Not bad. Pleasing decor and clean. The best part for me was the fried chicken. Pizza has potential, but too soggy. I like my pizza crust more on the crispy side. If not crispy, at least firm. These pieces were so soggy that when you pick them up, they collapse. Keep it in the oven a couple more minutes and I'll be a big fan. The taste was good. In addition to the chicken, the next best thing for me was dessert. They had a warm chocolate chip cookie that just melts in your mouth. We'll be back. Hope the soggy pizza was because we got there right at opening time and maybe they rushed it to get it out on the buffet line. We'll arrive a little later next trip. read more

Big fan of Pizza Ranch and have been without for a few years so a small detour on a trip to Louisville was so worth it. Not sure if I like this particular layout but I do like the victuals. there's usually about eight or ten pizzas plus cactus bread plus a chocolatey chip cookie thing on the buffet at any time and if you don't see what you want ask for it and they'll get right on it (and you get first dibs on it when it comes out!) so you can navigate most dietary restrictions and odd cravings. most. hot bar includes mashed taters, gravy, pasta, plus chickens in at least two styles. had a piece of the regular and nashville-hot this time and was quite pleased. is it chicken for the ages? not so much. but is it always good and hot and fried and chicken? absolutely! and that is why it is the country's best fried chicken in the world ever. yeah, fried chickens... :-) salad bar is pretty standard fare where you can start from scratch and build your bowl or you go with the some assembly required (greens come with an assortment of fixings like tomatoe, cheese, and craisins already installed) to satisfy most diners. This Pizza Ranch is currently the one nearest to me, if for no other reason than that it is by far the best Pizza Ranch of them all! read more

I came here for my birthday. What I expected was some pizza and some sides of ranch, what I got was more flavor than I could have ever expected. I started with the good sides... potato wedges, mac n cheese, then mashed taters. The next hour was a blur, of pizza and soda. All kinds of pizza, all kinds of sides, plus some unexpected options that will both surprise and delight you. Clean establishment, friendly service, and all you can eat food. Yup. Best birthday dinner to date. read more

Pizza Ranch - Buffets Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Food good. Frequently bringing out fresh food. Not just pizza either! Chicken, veggies, nice salad bar. Clean and pleasant atmosphere. We liked! read more

Before I write the review, I must tell you...Just Go. It's really good! We arrived around 3:30PM on a Thursday. It wasn't busy at all. The place is very clean and all the employees are so nice.Got two adult lunch buffets for $13.50 each. The buffet area is clean and chock full of options. Pizza, fried chicken, salad and dessert? Yum! Plus, drinks are included in the price! The salad was fresh and delicious. The pizza was warm and topped generously. Cheese sticks were delicious as well. The fried chicken? Wow. Tender, juicy and tasty. The seasoning is kind of weak, but it's still great fried chicken. Mashed potatoes were thick and had a weird texture, but who goes to Pizza Ranch for their mashed taters? We can't wait to come back! read more

We ate here on Friday, October 5th. It was very busy. The first problem, they only had one register open. That made no sense. Number two: The first three pieces of pizza I had were cold Number three: My wife enjoyed her chicken. I didn't come to a pizza buffet to eat only chicken Number four: The only way I was able to get hot pizza was to stand around the buffet line and wait. There were several people waiting for fresh pizza so once the pizza came out, it was a dash to grab the fresh, hot pizza Number five: The selection of pizza was less than desirable I won't ever return to this place as there are much better pizza places in Hendersonville. They can be found on Yelp as well. read more

Love this place food is actually fresh and delicious try the nashville hot chicken not spicy just appetizing you can customize and order any pizza you like and it's good read more

Considering the buffet options in Sumner County, the bar doesn't get any higher than this place. The salad bar section will hold its own with ANY genre restaurant in most of mid-TN. The various chicken preparations, are all EXCELLENT, as are the variety of 'taters. The sides are better than most full-serve restaurants. Because these items are SO good, it's easy to skip over the pizza. The variety of slices and freshness keep it elevated. Better than most... I've sampled a few of their deserts; but by the time I get to that point, sampling is indeed all that I can handle. Having said that, the soft-serve ice cream machine could top-off a cracker, and make it special. We're all-in! read more

Listen listen so if you're looking for a place to take your family were you could pay one price and there's a lot of options this is a place.. Pay at the front and then pick up plates silverware cups self serve. Now what they also give is the chance to order any type of pizza that you want. The crust is light and airy, Which allows you to taste all the different flavors of meat and cheese. There's also fried chicken and 2 types Southern style And Nashville hot it's not real hot but good flavor. Salad also provided, with apple sauce and chocolate pudding for the kids. Dessert is also Apple crumble pizza ,chocolate chip brownie and on the side soft serve-----ALL INCLUDED. Plus there is also coffee. On my visit busy with alot of local workers but several casual people also.. Definitely a place to stop for a quick lunch but you know what you're going to get. Plus the staff very dedicated to a clean dining room. 2 Thumps up read more

Pizza Ranch - Buffets Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

First let me say this review is for a delivery order of fried chicken from "The Country's Best Fried Chicken" as listed on Door Dash. They do not show this fried chicken is really from pizza ranch. Had I known I probably wouldn't have ordered. Had the 8pc chicken dinner with cole slaw and waffle fries. The chicken itself is decent. Not the best but not the worst, on par with Walmart fried chicken. The waffle fries arrived cold and no longer crispy. Obviously not freshly made for our order. Probably pulled off the buffet line. The cole slaw is equivalent to pre packaged store bought slaw. The whole meal was just kind of meh. I am a little put off that they advertise on door dash as something other than pizza ranch. The meal being sub par just makes it worse. read more

Good pizzas...better than the double C buffet and the small Roman guy. They're not loaded with toppings but good quality for a buffet. Might even beat delivery. You can order a specific pizza and you'll get the first slices when it comes out. Fried chicken is crispy and flavorful. Dessert pizzas are ok. Chocolate chip cookie is good. Plus they have soft serve ice cream. Drinks are included. You can make a root beer float! read more

The wings were surprisingly good. I've been disappointed in restaurants around town lately when it come to wings. Good buffalo sauce and decent sized. We got a stampede pizza. I can't say it was anything to write home about. It wasn't bad it just wasn't impressive. read more

Pizza Ranch - Buffets Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Pizza ranch is a pleasant little surprise in Hendersonville. My boyfriend and I had never been but decided to stop on a Saturday afternoon for the lunch buffet. We were impressed by the quality of the pizza, breadsticks, and potato wedges. The selection isn't massive but we enjoyed the attentive and kind staff so much we will definitely be back. read more

The pizza is good but the best part is everything else. The chicken is delicious. Very moist and fresh. My wife loves the salad bar that has almost everything you could want. Wish they had regular Italian and bacon bits though. The servers are very friendly and quick to pickup your dirty dishes.Great value!!! read more

Really enjoyed this place. They were a little slow in stocking the buffet but everything was good

I was surprised! The pizza is actually pretty good. I set my bar low and I was very pleasantly surprised. The crust is buttery, the sauce is good, and the mushrooms aren't canned. They have a full salad bar and desert pizzas and soft serve. The place is clean and the tables don't feel packed at all. The staff are all very nice and incredibly attentive. And the price is completely reasonable. Check this place out if you haven't already. read more

Great food and great service. This is one of the new places that we take our extended family to when they come into town to visit now. We drive 45 minutes to eat at Pizza Ranch and our kids love all of the options that they have to choose from. We love that they offer a Kids Eat Free Tuesday option as well as Senior and Military discounts every day. As for our favorites, I tried the Bacon Cheeseburger pizza for the first time and it was definitely worth ordering again next time. I've also enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken pizza and my wife always orders the Macaroni and Cheese pizza. The salad bar options at Pizza Ranch are all fresh and taste great! With regards to the hot food bar we really like the house kettle cooked potato chips, potato wedges and mashed potatoes. Lastly, you can't forget about dessert. We love the chocolate chip cookie pie but our all time favorite is definitely the blueberry pie. We look forward to coming back soon and continuing to rack up our rewards points. Keep up the great work! read more

My husband heard there was a Pizza Ranch in Hendersonville, so we decided to make a special trip on Labor Day. We used to frequent Pizza Ranch about a decade ago when we lived in Nebraska. Our family of four walked in about 15 minutes after they opened. My first impression was how clean it was! Pleasantly surprised for a buffet restaurant. Prices were great as well. Our 2 year old was free, our 6 year old was $6 (pay $1 per year of age up to $12), and two adults were $13.99. There was a wide variety of seating available, from small and large tables, and some booths. The Buffett was well stocked, with all the food fresh and hot. I had chicken Alfredo pizza which tasted great. I could've eaten a whole plate of the potato wedges! They were perfectly crispy and seasoned. The restaurant started getting crowded around noon, so if you want to avoid a lunch rush, go right when they open. We were in and out in about 30 minutes. We look forward to visiting again sometime! read more

Delicious, great crust and worth trying. We just did take out, not a buffer fan. Will order again.

The chicken and pizza is way to greasy. I can understand why it's called cactus bread I choked on how dry it was. There was a balled up wet napkin in our napkins there was salt and pepper all over the table and there was a cockroach under our table. This was not worth the $12 won't be coming back. read more
