"This is your typical quantity-over-quality kind of buffet, a place where you go for a filling meal at a reasonable price rather than for gourmet cuisine. My wife and I tried their Sunday buffet for the first time today and consider the meal a success, though it wasn 't a special thrill. Although the name mentions pizza, we both thought the standout item was the chicken. I 'm not sure how to describe it. It may be ordinary fried chicken, or it may be what I used to call broasted chicken as a kid. It looks like fried chicken, but the breading seems a bit lighter than one typically encounters. It is, however, very flavorful and tasty. There are also side dishes, including thick potato wedges and mashed potatoes; I had the former, my wife the latter, and I think I got the better of the deal. The pizza was adequate for a buffet but would not be the kind of pizza I order a pie of for a meal. One nice thing, though, is that when you order the buffet you are asked if you have a pizza preference, and then they deliver the first slice to you at your table and put the rest on the buffet. My bacon cheeseburger pizza was pretty good. I also enjoyed the garlic cheese bread, though it didn 't rise to the level of the smotharella sticks at Jeff 's Pizza in Ames. There 's also a salad bar but I didn 't get around to sampling anything from it. For dessert, there is one of those machines that you can get soft ice cream from (vanilla only, and no sauces or whipped cream to put on it) as well as cactus bread (sort of cinnamon flavored pizza crust) and both apple and cherry dessert pizza. I just had the ice cream. Next time I think I 'll combine the ice cream with the root beer from the pop dispenser (soda pop comes with the buffet at no extra charge) and make a root beer float. Service is friendly but not always super efficient. When we first ordered our buffet I gave the guy behind the counter a coupon for 2 dollars off each buffet. When he told me the price I asked whether he had deducted the coupon amount and he said he had forgotten. So he prepared a credit card statement for payment and then I had to point out that the coupon specifically said it was two dollars per person, not total. He didn 't know how to deal with this and had to consult the manager, who told him how to void the original charge and start from scratch. So, I wound up wasting about six or seven minutes getting this dealt with. He was nice enough, though, and quite apologetic. Bottom line: an adequate if unspectacular meal, and certainly worth a return visit."
