Wrangler Steakhouse

This review is for the wrangler buffet which is next door - did not find an separate listing. After a 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 electricity 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.

We have been here many times over the years, including just recently, and I am shocked to discover I haven't reviewed it yet so here it is.We first ate here in 2006 and have eaten here at least once each of the several times we've stayed in Death Valley, up until now, with this year's visit probably being the last time we'll bother with this place. Originally, I would have given it a solid 3 stars on the strength of the hardly outstanding but still enjoyable large prime rib dinner they used to have, complete with salad bar, potato, etc., and despite some drawbacks. The prime rib is now gone and all the drawbacks are worse, making this place barely worthy of 2 stars when considering the very high prices.Getting into the current status, the prices are very high. We have always been somewhat ok with this given that it's in the middle of Death Valley, there is nothing else for miles and miles, and it could still be an enjoyable, relaxing part of the whole Furnace Creek stay. That said, the place must be considered with the high prices in mind.Without the prime rib, high-priced as it was but large and fairly enjoyable, they now have only steaks, pasta, the salad bar. The salad bar is mediocre, never great but at least decent enough to accompany a fairly good prime rib dinner. The steaks are mediocre, too, and certainly not even remotely worth the high price, a bit tough and characterless. The pasta dishes are absolutely abysmal, not worth eating even at half the price. Various family members have tried these a couple times over the visits. In the past, they were barely mediocre, heavy-handed with dull creamy sauces, always a poor choice when the prime rib was to be had. The most recent was even worse, negative stars on its own, a seafood linguine which was dry old pasta with some shrimp and barely any characterless sauce, a bad joke of a pasta dish and barely edible. The high price made it absurd.The cocktails used to be mediocre but we have not had them in years. They have a nice local pale ale that is pretty good.The place itself is a bit bleak and functional inside. It's only at all pleasant if in one of the booths. The tables put you right in the middle of the stark surrounding, lighting that is not so much dim as dreary, blank, dingy-looking walls and industrial-looking doors with unsightly service equipment in full view.

Great breakfast to have before hitting the road to hike, 4 wheel or photo trek among the painted hills... good solid choices and lots of variety.If you are a health food fanatic, you may want to buy some protein bars.. this is old fashion grill em all style, i imagine the kind of thing the cowboys ate before branding the stock.They do have fruits and veggies though, so you could always do that and skip the breakfast potatoes and scrambled eggs :)

The buffet menu changes regularly and Shatangi found many items to please the palate. There are hot dogs and the like for the kids, roast brisket and cabbage for the adults. An assort met of breads, meat selections and salads as well as veggies and desserts. VERY casual dining. Shatangi told you

Rode my bike from Furnace Creek to Bad-water and back with a side trip along the artists drive. 42 miles and over 2000' elevation gain. I'm only telling you because that totally justified coming here and only having desert. Had molten chocolate cake with ice cream. It so hot the spot. Also had some of the cheesecake which was equally decadent. While I'm stuffed now, I'm content that I could eat the deserts and not feel too guilty.

I thought this place was gonna be horrible but man the buffet at lunch was so good!!! Excellent sweet and sour pork, succulent brisket, salad bar, dessert table. It blew my mind that's why it got a 5. I hope this wasn't just a fluke day when everything at that restaurant went right.

This place is in middle of no where (death Valley) and based on that my expectations were low. I do not like steaks and half of my family is vegetarian so imagine having a steak house as an only option for dinner. And now add 4 kids under 10 and think again :) . We all loved this place because they served kid friendly food and were accommodating and not snooty like some other nicer steakhouses. They even had some great vegetarian options. May not have the best steaks in the world but certainly is mindful of people who don't just eat steaks

I do not see what everyone likes about this place! I was horrified by it! This is one of the worst places I have ever eaten! Okay, enough with the exclamation points!!!So, we went here for lunch and first of all let me say... there were tour buses everywhere and this places was packed! I personally did not wanna deal with all those people but it was one of the few places to eat in this tiny 'town'... and nothing for miles and miles so we stayed. Aside from the salad bar, all they had was a small buffet with 3 items! We assumed they would have steak... after all it is called Wrangler STEAKhouse. The staff was rude. The food was horrible. They had 2 kinds of pasta and some weird 'sweet and sour' type chicken chunks. The place was dark and very loud from all the tourists. The price was ridiculous! It was around $60 for 3 people for lunch and that may have been okay if they had more food but NOT for their tiny options. I will never go to this place again. I'd rather walk across the desert to eat at a Del Taco (*shudders*), then eat here again!Sorry Wrangler... but YOU SUCK. Just sayin'.

Ate here while staying at the Furnace Creek Inn. There was a $25 buffet for dinner. It was the WORST buffet we've ever had. It was so bad we were beyond mad - we were roaring with laughter! You have to see the attached pictures to believe it. My advice: ask to see the buffet before eating there.
