| - Never again will we eat at Red Rock Buffet...we will visit Ft.McDowell and eat at the 87 restaurant, but not at this place again. We arrived on Sunday afternoon for a one night vacation. That evening we went to the casino where RRB is located and got in a short line to purchase the buffet. 15 minutes later the hostess (?) took our money and showed us to a booth. The table behind our booth, was unoccupied but had a large mess of food, paper, and other articles on the floor. Another group was offered that table and said no unless it could be cleaned up...the answer to that was they didn't have enough people working. The group offered to sweep it up themselves, but the hostess ignored their offer and sat them further back in the seating area. All through our dinner no one cleaned up that mess...my wife had to see it every time she looked up from her food. Now the food...prime rib, pretty good but a bit overdone. Anything else, nasty. Canned green beans with some almond slivers thrown on top; packaged mash potatoes with no taste except the salt and pepper I added; food that looked like it had been sitting for a long period of time (ie: film formed on top of the gravy); dishes miss labeled or no labels at all; one food spot with one little piece of what appeared to be meat and then just brown something surrounding it. Salad bar was decent, but no where near the number of toppings and ingredients that I associate with a buffet salad bar. Even the frozen custard (ice cream) dessert had a strange taste to it. In the middle of our meal a woman walked by with a portable radio and you could hear someone asking her to come over to the 87 restaurant...then you hear her say 'G..D..., I am the only manager on duty.' There was only one server for drinks and I feel fortunate she came by with a refill for our ice teas. I would have thought management would have thought the eve of a holiday may be busier and prepared properly with more help and better food. Afterward, my wife and I were talking and she happened to think...if the eating area was messy as it was, we wonder what the kitchen looked like....
