Pizza Ranch - Stevens Point

We normally enjoy the salad and pizza but it is a shame they can’t replace salad until it is empty. Their strawberry specialty salad was almost gone and looked like it sat there since lunch! Reluctantly the gal did bring out fresh when I asked but put the leftover old stuff on top!!! Yuck! Back to Panera for salads for dinner.

Buffet only had cheese or pepperoni pizza varieties. Would have liked to try a few of their signature pizzas. Chicken was great as usual.

I like this place and location. Unfortunately, I do believe that I experienced a bit of racism here from a lady who was busing tables. She’s older, short, with white hair; she said not one word to us whenever she came to pick up plates (which she rarely did) and did not greet us when dropping off pizza. To everyone else, as I observed, she was very friendly, outgoing, warm, and welcoming. She greeted and made eye contact with everyone else she came in contact with in the restaurant, just not us (we’re African-american). Because of this, I’m not sure I’ll be back. And that’s a shame, I really liked this place.

We walked in tonight and every single table was dirty, the marinara was empty, there was food all over the buffet areas, the floor was sticky, and the manager that was on duty was scolding her employees in front of patrons. She also didn’t seem to be helping with cleanup. If I was corporate I’d stop in for a surprise visit. The employees here deserve better and so does Plover. Yuck.

I keep dineing with my family. Webe never had a bad experience. The staff (although usually quite busy) is very good to be and rolls very well with any situation before them. Food is always good and was never a problem for us.
