    Brownie Sundae
    Libby P.

    Upon entering, you are greeted with the smell of fresh made waffle cones and exceptional customer services. There were two teenage girls working, who both greeted us with smiles and offers to let us know if we had any questions while we checked out the menu. I ordered the Brownie Sundae, which was just your average vanilla soft serve with hot fudge & brownie pieces. Where this sundae "showed up" all others was in the way it was layered. There was literally chocolate, brownie goodness in every bite. Highly impressed, even if it was a little too sweet for me; I would certainly go back if I'm in the area again.

    Windmill cookie butter. If you haven't gotten it, do so. It is my all time favorite flavor. The sizing is generous and staff is friendly

    This shop has a cute interior and Hudsonville ice cream. They offer choices with hand dipped, soft serve, and custom blended ice cream.

It's surrounded by college town but everything we ordered was fresh and she offered to make it fresh if we didn't mind waiting if it wasn't. A trendy little cookie spot.

    This location is HORRIBLE about service though the cookies are good. Their phone is always set to…read moreafter hours and you can NEVER get a person during business hours. There are some real issues that need to be addressed at this location. I called the downtown GR location to inquire if Allendale was even open and she said she has received numerous calls regarding the lack of customer phone service for Allendale & really didn't know the status of the location and stated they have heard many complaints about Allendale. AlsoI have had an equal amount unpleasant experiences & good experiences with staff when visiting this location. If you are the owner or manager of the Allendale Insomnia then please whip this place into shape because your product is really good & the potential to be a great business exists! Edit: after not being able to reach any one via phone my daughter opted to drive out to this location and see if it was even open. It was. When told the phone is set to after hours the employee stated the phone isn't working and they never receive calls (duh). My daughter ordered and was told none of the 6 cookies she wanted were baked and she would have to wait 15 minutes. In the end, it took 30 minutes (which makes me think the oven was not even preheated). She headed home and when she got here they were all burnt on the bottom & of course tasted burnt. $25 wasted... Needless to say we will never be using this location ever again. We are equidistant between the GR and Allendale location. We usually choose Allendale for their accessibility. My advice - choose customer service (GR) over accessibility (Allendale) if you want great cookies and superb customer service.

    I can't believe we've never eaten here before. Great value and selection at Pizza Ranch's Buffet!…read more We walked in and were greeted with a smile. The cost for the buffet was about $16 for adults with tax and kids eat free in Tuesday. At the counter they asked what are favorite pizza is and informed us they would make a small size of that and offer it to our table first to ensure everyone gets something they like. Excellent customer service! In addition to a personalized pizza, there is fruit, salad, plethora of other pizzas, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, potato wedges and Mac n cheese. For dessert there are different dessert pizzas and serve yourself ice cream. Drinks are included and bottomless with a serve yourself soft drink station. Everything was clean and well managed. The space was clean and it was busy. We had a great first experience and plan to come back again in the near future.

    Pizza Ranch in Hudsonville was a mixed experience and, realistically, not one I'll be repeating. I…read moredidn't realize going in that it's a buffet, but that wasn't a dealbreaker. The setup is country-western casual, very clearly geared toward families, and on a Saturday night there was surprisingly no wait. Food-wise, the pizza was the weak link, which is unfortunate given the name. It was genuinely bad: bland, undercooked crust, and forgettable. The fried chicken and mashed potatoes were fine, nothing special but serviceable. Service overall landed in the neutral zone: neither attentive nor problematic, just there. At $17.99 per adult with a soft drink included, the value feels fair for what you get, assuming your expectations are calibrated properly. This place makes sense for families or maybe a quick weekday lunch during a workday. But no TVs, no adult beverages, and subpar pizza make it a strange fit for anyone hoping for a casual night out or a place to catch a game. If you're coming strictly to feed kids efficiently, it works. Otherwise, there are better options nearby.
