Not a fan. Expensive burger came with a small sliver of onion and the bottom (heal) of the tomato.

Felt the need to come leave a review since so many were negative. Let's be real it's Death Valley…read morewith limited options and higher prices for location. This buffet is decent especially if you like salad bars, steamed veggies and healthy options and it included a drink and desert. They had bbq tofu on cauliflower, chicken on lentils, steak bites on quinoa. They also had kid friendly favorites like chicken tenders, hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza. I went in with low expectations but really enjoyed my lunch. We ate at the Saloon that night but went to take a peak at the buffet which looked like the same ribs in the saloon. They had catfish, bbq chicken, and vegetarian tofu option for dinner. Don't count this out as an option based on reviews. I didn't take pics of my lunch but here are dinner pics.

When I was looking up places to eat in Death Valley I was apprehensive about eating at the buffet…read moredue to the two-star rating on Yelp. No one wants to get sick 100 miles from the nearest hospital after all. But on my first evening, I was really hungry as I hadn't eaten anything all day after flying into Las Vegas airport then spending the day shooting photos until after dark. So I walked in and the host suggested I look at the buffet before deciding to pay so I did. The selection was a bit limited but looked good enough to eat so in I went. The baked fish (haddock?) was good, I had seconds of that. I'm a big potato lover and they had fresh mashed red potatoes which I ate a lot of. They were also serving roast behind the meat counter so I got a slice along with some gravy. Not bad at all. The food is itself was actually cooked well and tasted decent though a bit heavy on salt. Like I said earlier, I'd take stars off for limited selection and price but the food is not bad. Also if you have ever dined at other national parks, this is better than what you'll find at a place like Yellowstone.

We had drinks and dinner here. Ended up having a great chat with Hutch, a fellow hockey fan. When…read morewe said we were originally from Rockford, he changed into a Rockford Icehogs jersey! Pretty wild for a small restaurant in Death Valley. But on to the food. We'd seen recent pictures of Alien Bread in reviews but they didn't have it anymore so we started with an order of garlic bread. Sorry but it was pretty subpar. Mighty dry and hard. Oh well. We then split a pizza. It was way too much for us but it was cheesy and delicious. Since we were traveling, we had to leave quite a bit behind. We enjoyed our experience a lot despite the uneven food.

The breadsticks were slightly burnt, and the atmosphere leaned heavily on awkward, outdated boomer…read morehumor that made us feel anything but welcome. Hutch referred to my wife as "my friend," a couple times which immediately set an uncomfortable tone. Things went further downhill when the chef (if that's the right term, given the state of the breadsticks) approached us aggressively while we were boxing up our food. He raised his voice and said "nobody told me it was for takeout," despite the fact that I had already had a full conversation with Hutch confirming takeout and requesting everything to-go. I hadn't even said a word to the chef and didn't mind packing things up myself due to a simple miscommunication, but his confrontational approach was completely unnecessary. It's hard not to wonder whether the discomfort we experienced had anything to do with the fact that I'm obviously gay, because the overall interaction felt weird, unwelcoming, and tense. I went across the street later to the BBQ place to get food and they treated us like family, so it's not a small town problem. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the wings were decent, but I could never imagine coming here again. They also did not have homemade desserts like the other reviews claim (one of the reasons we even came here).

This review is for the wrangler buffet which is next door - did not find an separate listing. After…read morea whole day at Death Valley when we were almost passing out from hunger we found this place and had their Thanksgiving buffet. It was okay! The ham double he juicier and turkey could have been tender. The stuffing was okay too, could have been better. Was very disappointed with the beans. The pies were sickeningly sweet. They wee very busy that day but surprised us with their nice service. Hence, the three stars. Nice, clean place and okay good in the middle of a dessert. Not bad! I probably will tell my friends about this when they visit Death Valley.

At night, the Wrangler Steakhouse is the place to be while at Furnace Creek. There's an…read moreelectricity around there given the intense darkness as you drive further away from that parking lot at night. Inside is cool, with a dim rustic interior. The perfect environment to have dinner in after a long day of traveling about Death Valley Nat'l Park. For around $40-45, you'll enjoy decent barbeque with a salad bar option and a beer. They had Newcastle (I pronounce it "newguzzle") on tap so I was very pleased. There are lots of foreign tourists that come to Death Valley so there is even a sort of international vibe being at Wranglers and Furnace Creek Ranch (this shopping hub area). The salad was satisfactory. The vegetables hit the spot. And although the barbeque was pretty good, the sauce was too sweet and not spicy enough. Still, I had fun here. If you're in Death Valley, this is the only acceptable place to have dinner.
