Came here for the $29 dinner buffet and appreciate the worker at the front for asking if we wanted to have a look at the buffet before paying. Restaurant is very cozy and there was no wait.
Price is very reasonable imo, considering the fact that this restaurant is located inside Death Valley! Food wasn’t spectacular but it’s what you would expect at a $29 dinner buffet. They even had prime rib available. We left full and satisfied.

Restaurant looks very nice but that’s it. You’ll like the atmosphere when you walk in. Arrived at the restaurant at 5:20pm left at 8:20pm. One hour to be seated and 1:30 for the food to be served. Terrible. Very expensive for what they serve you and the service. Labeled home made chocolate cake was probably coming frozen from china. Had a New York strip for dinner that was not worth it.

Before diving into the details, let’s take a moment to appreciate the unique setting of this restaurant. Nestled amidst the stark, arid expanse of Death Valley National Park, its location feels almost surreal. The interior is spacious, offering ample seating to accommodate guests comfortably. In addition to their regular menu, the restaurant also offers a buffet. While the $25.00 price tag might seem steep at first, it’s entirely justified considering the remote location and the variety of food available. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch—it was a satisfying and much-needed refuel.

I didn’t mind my experience at this buffet. The breakfast was fine and dinner was pretty good and friendly staff. The issue I think a lot of people have with the bad reviews is they are showing up at the end of the night expecting a fresh buffet. Maybe the place could do a little better but people are expecting 5 star quality buffet in the middle of a remote desert and then show up right before close to try eating. It’s also probably hard to get a lot of workers to work out here, I only saw a few staff the whole time I was there. Overall it was a fine experience and I really liked the pizza

Such a let down. Bad enough the hotel is insanely overpriced, but this is the only dining option aside from pre-made sandwiches at the general store or a 60 dollar steak at the saloon. We were told they open at 5, came in and they said they open at 5:30. Came back and they said actually, 5:45. The items they prepared were not as listed on the menu for Saturday, posted at the counter. Dirty silverware, oversalted inedible food. The market fridge sandwich would have been the way to go.

Surprisingly good. We were able to eat 3 courses and, most importantly, load up on salad from the salad bar and veggies and fruit after a road trip of endless burgers, steaks and French fries. It’s not fancy but it’s relaxed and food is okay and, overall, surprisingly good value. Suitable for families or those who simply want a simple meal without fuss and to serve themselves.

We were staying in Furnace Creek for a few days, and if you are familiar with the area, you know that there are few eating options. You only have two or three options, and 1849 Buffet is one of them.
We had breakfast at 1849 Buffet three times during our stay. They had an extensive breakfast buffet, but the quality of the hot food was more to be desired. You see, the buffet was set up early in the morning, and if you got there late, say after 9:00 am, the items like scrambled eggs or bacon would be dry due to sitting on the hot water beneath for too long. Of the three days we were there, only on one occasion did we get there early; that was the only morning when we had a good hot meal. The cold options, such as fruits, yogurts, and coffee, were fine.
The dining area is big, comfortable, clean, and enjoyable. Many interesting items are hanging on the walls, and you could spend half an hour walking around looking at them!
The staff is very friendly and helpful. But remember, this is a buffet, so there is no table service.
So, if you go there, make sure you get up early. Hiking around Death Valley, you’ll need a belly full of good breakfast to last you all day!

After a long and frustrating check in at the hotel, we arrived at the restaurant quite frazzled. We were warmly greeted by Jazide Rosales, who immediately calmed us down and welcomed us to our table. We mentioned our check in experience and she provided us with an appetizer while we waited for our meals. It changed our whole outlook on the Ranch. Our dinners were excellent. Andrew provided outstanding service. Thanks to Jazide and Andrew for an excellent experience.

If I could give zero, I would to it. Dont go here, its a rip off. Go eat at the ice cream parlor if you have too. We ask the person at the front if we can check the buffet before commiting to it and we did, it all looked pretty decent and there was a carving station for a steak. We came it at around 0530pm. We happily went in and did one rotatiom. The carving station gave us 2 smal piece of steak which was fine since we can always come back if we have too. The rest of the selection was ok. It was all american food. By the second round, there was no longer meat carving atation and we ask when it will be out again and he keep saying I dont know. We waited and waited and they never release anything new even when a large group of people came in. I feel like this was a rip off as they never really supplied the food that they promise. I wanted to dispute since the service was also bad. No one picked up our dirty plates. The only guy that I saw cleaning tables was taking his sweet time sipping his soda and was really very slow in cleaning tables.

We had breakfast and dinner here for two days. Price wise for what you get this place is fine. Don’t forget to tip at the till, as I did! The staff work hard and will help you in any way they can. I feel they are worth the five stars, the food quality was good enough.
