Recommended: if you like crab legs AND you are willing to forgo ambiance, then this is your place. Make it a point to get their player's card and enjoy a significant savings for the meal. All you can eat crabs is the special on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Be sure to check their website prior to driving out to East Bumble...
One of the unique parts of eating in the Casino is there is no cell service. This may be a pro or a con depending on your preference. They are totally blocking cell service inside the casino.
Red Rock Buffett is a cross between a Piccadili, a shitty chow hall and a high school cafeteria. Almost everyone in here looks like they got their government check. Don't be alarmed when you are waiting in line to get in and you realize that you've inhaled a few cartons of secondary smoke! It's all worth it (sort of) when you finally make it inside to be "greeted" by not so friendly staff members. Makes me wonder what type of abuse they take from the not so friendly customers. I nearly got run over by a lady that looked like she was 70 years old driving a motorized scooter with a cigarette hanging from her lip and an oxygen mask attached to an oxygen tank backpack - seriously!?!? If you are expecting anything fancy, this is not your spot. If you want to gorge your face on quality, inexpensive all you can eat crabs and you don't mind the ambiance or lack thereof, this is your spot.
The Buffett is evolving. They have moved the crabs to its own stand alone station. The crab legs are pretty solid. Hot, steamy, and plentiful. Do yourself a favor and wave off the server after they've stacked 2-3 clusters of legs, otherwise they will be cold long before you finish eating the serving.
I hear there are other options on the buffet but I have not had anything else and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon.
The Red Rock Buffett is located inside the Fort McDowell Casino. This a few miles from the B-Line and Shea Rd. intersection just outside of Fountain Hills, AZ. There is plenty of parking.
