| - The Wandering Horse Buffet is a very good non-Vegas buffet. We came here on a Friday night. On weekends, starting Friday nights, the price of the buffet is $26.95. For children between 5 -12, the price of the buffet is $14. The food is good for a casino buffet not located in Vegas.
The food is separated by sections. Starting from the far left as you walk in is the seafood station. The seafood consists of Alaskan King crab legs, Lobster claws, mussels, and clams with a pesto sauce. Most of the seafood was pretty good. They have a carving station. On the night that we were there, they had a leg of lamb, beef wellington, and a pork roast. The leg of lamb was dry. The wellington was soggy, but, the meat was pretty good. The pork looked ugly, but, it actually had a good smoky taste to it. They had a grilling station where they cooked Kobe sirloin steaks and vegetables. The Mexican and Asian station didn't look good, so I skipped both of these. They also had a salad bar, different cheeses and sliced meats. None of which I tried. But, it did look good.
For dessert, they had a dessert station with about 10 different flavored gelatos. They also make crepes and bananas foster. All manned by an impatient Chinese (Mandarin) woman. She must've been lonely because she started speaking to me in Chinese. It wasn't until I started conversing with her that her impatient attitude changed.
Our waitress was pretty good. She did a pretty good job clearing our plates, and kept our cups filled. The only interesting thing all night were the fighters that came in here to eat. There were going to have some kind of tournament in the hotel. Some of them looked pretty rough.
Overall, it was a good experience with good food and good service. Definitely would be back if we went to Scottsdale again.
