Restaurants in Palm Desert

“If you’re looking for Dave’s, this is the place to be. The workers are friendly, efficient, and they didn’t disappoint. It looks exactly like the advertisement, and it’s the best thing ever.”

“I was in town visiting family, wanted to try something new and saw brown bag. Wanted to say one of the best sandwich spots in the valley! Had the Ron’s little Italy and trust me it’s huge! Worth the price!! Also tried the Austin’s smokehouse, the BBQ was the best one I have tried from places, house made is the way to go! I will visit again and recommend this place to friends.”

“Needs more vegetarian options ? ( As posted on the website). Seems to be continuing to be short staffed. We left a 25 % tip to the server. Love some of the options but/ got a vegetarian..,, little to offer. 🤷🏼‍♀”

“We’ve been to a lot of steakhouses before but definitely Eddie V’s is at the top of our list right now. From the moment we walked in service was outstanding, our server Cory made sure our anniversary night was truly special, he went above and beyond in taking care of every detail and that our dinner was meeting our expectations. I had the filet medallions with the lobster and my husband got the ribeye, both of our steaks were cooked perfectly and the flavor was delicious. I would highly recommend visiting this restaurant even if you don’t have anything to celebrate, its a must if you’re in Palm Springs.”

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.”

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!”

“I read the reviews, so I had to try it. My Veggie Sandwich was so good! It is hard to find a place that still has sprouts on the VS. ❤”

“Today, my wife and I had a delicious lunch at CJ’s. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the chicken fajitas. Both dishes were excellent! The food was well prepared and well presented. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And the atmosphere of CJ’s Is charming. We will definitely be return customers.”

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .”

“Some of the best food in the valley! The sandwiches taste fresh and the flavors meld together beautifully. The spring rolls and tofu fries are also great! The sauces compliment the flavors of all their food very well. I love love this place. The Vietnamese coffee tasted a little thin this time, but I also got it with 50% sweetness so might’ve been that they used less condensed milk in order to achieve less sweetness. The Thai tea and hibiscus tea are also yummy. I love supporting small businesses and especially those that put love into their food. I’ll def keep coming here :)”

“Consistently delicious with an authentic French menu, and warm and friendly service.”

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert”

“10!!!! Lo mejor de comida peruana colombiana”

“I love this location! My daughter's and I visited last week and purchased 3 snicker doodle cookies. Mylaunie and Tonya were extremely helpful and efficient. They're literally always smiling, which is a good thing for the business. I'll be back soon!”

“They have a large and varied menu of ice cream flavors available through multiple dishes. I tried the 4 scoop sampler which was a good choice. They nicely label which scoop is which so you can keep track.”

“Absolutely delicious matcha! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the interior is beautiful and cozy. Such a lovely place. I’ll definitely be back! 💚”

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!”

“Wonderful food. Welcoming and delicious. Tavyn was friendly and professional. Highly recommend. I will be back. Thank you:)”

“I love everything about this place!!! Great food, delish drinks, super fun, creative decor, good service and lovely ambience!!! One of my favorite places in the desert!”

“Love the matzoh ball soup and the #5”

“Absolutely loved the drinks at Tea n Tea! The Ube Oreo drink was creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced — such a unique and delicious flavor. The pineapple drink was refreshing, light, and perfectly tropical. Everything tasted amazing!

The lady who helped us was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Great drinks and wonderful customer service — definitely coming back! 🧋🍍✨”

“Honestly drinks, service, food 10/10! every single thing we tried was phenomenal... lobster guacamole, caribian alhambres, oysters, ahi steak, and the coconut flan GOOD LORD! give this place a shot for very reasonably priced, fresh, delicious food!”

“Highly recommend! Good service! Great food! Lovely ambiance! And thanks for being you! 🍕 🥗 ☺️🎄❤️”

“Watched the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and had a fabulous lunch.”

“Great service. Yummy food. Reasonable price.”

“You know how there are places you wish were close to where you live and at the same time, wish they were further away?! This is one of them. Although I expect that if there was one near where I live, I hope I'd be able to exercise a little self control.
The ice cream here is so fresh and delicious, it's hard to describe. For instance, their coffee ice cream tastes like pure coffee as opposed to coffee flavoring. The same goes for all of their flavors.
It appears that there are only 6 locations on the West Coast and 3 of them are in Palm Springs/Palm Desert. Nothing on the East Coast.
There are locations in Hawaii as that is where this ice cream eminated from. That's also where I first had this amazing delicacy.
If you have the good fortune of coming across one of the stores, I obviously highly recommend it.”

“The açaí bowl was heaven. I ordered the peanut butter version. The cashier was not the friendliest…sigh”

“Really nice place for breakfast just off El Paseo - freshly cooked, good service, and a nice vibe. A real antidote to the major chains!”

“We had such amazing service today at this Denny's. Cenisa R is "THEE MOST AMAZING SERVER" She was so professional and on top of everything including refilling our drinks. Cenisa is a wonderful young lady, fantastic personality and service. Denny's should be very proud to have someone of this quality working for them. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Good service and food as always”

“When in PS, this is the only place for italian food. Reserve early to not be disappointed”

“The architecture of the building, the interiors, the herb garden, the delicious Italian food and attentive staff definitely make this place one of kind. We had a wonderful family dinner where we sampled a variety of appetizers, drinks and main dishes that everyone enjoyed.”

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!”

“Great place, great food and great service”

“Great place all around! The food is AWESOME and the atmosphere is top notch. A must if you're in the area!”

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!”

“Great food, nice presentation, attentive service, we’ll be back.”

“Best Italian dining in Palm desert! Cozy and friendly atmosphere with high quality and originally italian made dishes!”

“The staff were friendly and attentive- the food was absolutely delicious - the experience was top-notch and we highly recommend to anyone who wants a nice relaxed dinning experience! And their cocktails are yum!!!”

“This place is sooo great. I have been to around 20 sushi bars in Coachella valley, and this is in the top 2. Everything is so good. I love the dynamite appetizer. Rolls with shrimp tempura are always warm. 👍👍👍”

“Highly recommend. Christmas Eve was delicious. The food was yum. The mimosas were refreshing. The ambiance was festive. The service was perfect. Thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year! 🎊 🤶”

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!”

“Food is always good. Cesar salad is seriously the best I have ever had. Carne Asada is surprisingly good at this location.
Staff is always great too. We sit on the bar side almost exclusively so this review is mostly for the bar side. Amber the bar tender is always attentive and on her game.”

“Amazing food and service. We enjoyed everything thoroughly. Our waiter, Kohl, was extremely attentive to our every need. Darrell, the manager, came by to make sure we were satisfied. We will definitely be back.”

“Great service … Great good”

“Great employees, they were very busy, they remained pleasant, and efficient, the lady manager that was their when I visted recently was very considerate, and consistent, good teamwork!”

“I was hungry and you fed me. 😁
Although I paid for mine and gladly gave a
Tip.
This phrase comes from Matthew 25:35-40, where Jesus explains that serving the hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick, or imprisoned is equivalent to serving Him directly. It highlights that compassion for the vulnerable is the measure of righteousness.

Great food❣️
I got the 1lb California Burrito.
Well worth the price and open 24 hours.
I now have a happy belly and want to go to sleep. 11:30 pm lol”

“Carne burrito comes with tons of meat, guacamole, pico, salsa bar with fresh lime for under $13. Left my wallet on a table at lunch and when I returned after work the manager recognized me immediately and handed me my wallet with nothing missing.”

“Probably the best tasting Mexican food I have had in a long time. The birria had an outstanding flavor and the pollo asado was moist and delicious. The flying saucer is HUGE! Bring a friend for that thing. Lol. Not sure we will make it back out this way, but if we do. Definitely going back.”

“Good service and food for the most part, deff need to hire more help for morning and afternoon rush times”

“Great Place a PD Must 5 ⭐️xxx”

“Food is usually really good. Could be warmer. Salsa is nothing special. Music can be a bit annoying when they play different music in the kitchen that is louder than dinning area.”

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋”

“The prices were a little high for ice cream, but the woman Kim working there was so sweet and gave us such an enticing description that we decided to give a try.
It was very yummy-- rich and decadent. I especially enjoyed the Toffee Cappuccino. We'll be back to try more flavors, the menu has lots of other interesing options!!”

“Exceptional food. I have much love for this place and try to go once a week. One day I may try something else but the spinach and mushrooms enchiladas are to die for. So very good and consistent.”

“A fun and quirky suds stop with friendly staff and patrons. Check out their food truck schedule. They are pooch friendly and the suds are brewed in-house. Highly recommended!!”

“What a great restaurant that embodies diners from the 60s. We went for breakfast at 7am during the summer, and they weren't busy at all. First off, the pancakes are huge and delicious. All breakfast prices are reasonable. The hash browns were crispy and not greasy. Service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean. There are lots of seats around the counter that remind you of soda fountains from the past. If you are not looking for fancy but just good food at reasonable prices, this is a great option!”

“Best BBQ chicken pizza I've ever had !”

“We had not been to Legends and Icons since 2020. Finally talked the hubby into going back tonight and let me just say...the food was absolutely delish and on point. Drinks were very good. The waitress and staff were amazing and friendly. Dessert was their yummy carrot cake. I can honestly say it's the best carrot cake I've ever eaten. Bobby has done a wonderful job turning this restaurant into a great success. Thank you Bobby and we will definitely be putting Legends and Icons back on our list of great places to eat and drink. 😊🤗💜😉”

“The Ube Latte was so delicious and has a unique taste that can’t be duplicated.”

“Fresh boba, nice seatings area with social games. Drinks can get a little sweet so would suggest to ask for less sugar level, over than that I'd say it's pretty good!”

“Jimmy John’s in Palm Desert has become one of my go-to spots for a great lunch, whether I’m eating in, meeting with a client, or picking up an order to take to a client’s office.

I brought a client in today and once again had a fantastic experience. I had the Chicken Caesar Wrap combo, and it was excellent—fresh, flavorful, filling, and an amazing value for the quality and portion. The sandwiches and wraps here are consistently great, service is quick, and everything is always fresh.

A big part of what makes this location stand out is owner Brian Murphy. Brian genuinely cares about his customers, provides excellent service, and takes pride in delivering a great experience and great value. That personal involvement makes a difference and is one of the reasons I continue coming back.

For anyone in Palm Desert or the surrounding Coachella Valley looking for a quick, fresh, affordable lunch, I highly recommend this Jimmy John’s location. It's especially convenient for business lunches, catering, or grabbing sandwiches and wraps to bring into an office.”

“Great burger and French fries”

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!”

“We went last night for happy hour and had a delicious charcuterie tray and bottle of wine. The staff is welcoming and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely return next time we visit.”

“its was delicious!! the sushi was so good ! the poke bowl was outstanding !! service was great ! I highly recommend 💯❤”

“Elio and Luba are beyond wonderful. The intimacy of the restaurant is wonderful. The food on the menu or on the specials list was delicious. Luba and Elio perform as if they are making dinner just for you!!! Will go back many times after this first experience dining with them last night. This will become our go to Italian restaurant in the Desert. Thank you, Luba & Elio. 🥂🥂”

“We live full time in the area. This is our go to place for Mexican food. They are friendly, fast and the food is delicious. It is not a fancy place which is what we like about it. Delicious Chili Verde, Fajitas, burritos, etc.
Parking is in front or you may have to park down the street a bit. We'll worth it.”

“This was the best Peruvian food hands down made by Peruvians so the taste was authentic with authentic ingredients. My wife and I met the chef and she’s so passionate about her food and was very friendly. Think it may have been family working there every one was so polite and friendly engaged in conversation about Peru. My wife and I had the lomo saltado and I had to get the ceviche con chicharron it was absolutely delicious. We usually make stops throughout the places we visit to try the Peruvian food and this is it. The ceviche was fresh and had all the authentic ingredients it’s like if we were sitting in Peru eating. This is going to be our go to spot when visiting the area.”

“We took our neighbor out for lunch, on Friday, recalling what a great experience we had with our son last October. The warmth and efficiency of the staff and our meals were top notch. Instead of heading toward the East side during Coachella, we decided that the eclectic menu here was far superior to unique bite. At 11:15 the place was hopping but we got a great center table. People of all ages love it here. We saw young people ready for concerts and elderly couples and groups. My husband loved the French Dip and he does not usually exclaim with a 5! Our neighbor had the tuna sandwich and side salad. Her sweet petite self had enough to bring half of it home with her. It looked good! My choice was the chicken tarragon on a croissant with those crunchy fries we like so much. An old school charm, consistently great meals and friendly staff make JT's a favorite in the valley.”

“We came on a pretty busy holiday weekend but we're super impressed. Everyone on staff worked hard to offer an exceptional experience to the guest, and that's exactly what we got. The food came out fast and everything tasted great. The drinks by Hunter awesome. Dana the manager was busy and still took time to greet us and make sure we were satisfied. We were, thus highly recommend this Islands for a casual, comfortable dining experience.”

“Came in to try some French desserts , by far the best cake I’ve had in a long time.. coming from someone who went to school for desserts. Thank you for the incredible service and treats, much love from Vancouver Canada !”

“I've been coming here for the past ten years. I think it's one of the best values in the area. They have great lunch specials at $9.95 and a big, 14oz glass of good wine for just $5. Always had great service.”

“The one in Palm Desert is good. Nice restaurants and area. Delicious food.”

“The cheesecakes were scrumptious for my dad’s birthday surprise! Thank you for making it possible with the short notice & out of state request! I even attended an 80th birthday that weekend & they had you do there dessert cupcakes & cake too! Would recommend in a heartbeat!”

“Just stopped in this cafe at the suggestion of a store clerk in this shopping center and I’m so glad I took her advice. Calm, cute, clean breakfast/lunch/coffee/wine spot. The Mama Mia panini is excellent— I was surprised at the caliber of the panini (flavorful and very fresh!), it tastes like I’m at a fancy sitdown restaurant! Service was great too. Cute dishes too!”

“Great pizza and great service”

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!”

“July Monday night
Sat at the bar Geoff took super great care of us. Filet mignon, wedgie salad, split pea soup. Oh, Did IUmention the AMAZING grilled vegetables. WE LOVE! One of the most outstanding meals we have had. cactus jacks TOP OF THE LINE.
Nice, cozy local hang. Casual and small. Make rez.
Wish we could visit more often. Love the Palm Desert”

“Salma was wonderful - she recommended the chorizo omelette and it was the best i ever tasted. She made sure all of our drinks were refilled and we had a very nice meal.”

“Delicious and beautiful! I recommend everyone to order from TFB! I just can't say enough. TFB has made all of our parties extra special with her delicious and amazingly decorated treats. Thank you TFB!”

“I had the Iced Elephant Vanilla Chai and an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The chai was amazing! Tasted delicious, and was a lot of tea, even though the size was 'medium .' The bagel was toasted perfectly. I had planned to eat half and take half home, but it was so good I ate the whole thing!”

“The nicest personal I have ever encountered! Love the outside seating, very spacious. Good people and a great place to kick back and do your thing.”

“I had the spicy miso ramen bowl. Delicious! The broth was rich and flavorful. Spicy but not too spicy. Noodles were the perfect texture and cooked just right. A tip for the owners, I have driven past this restaurant many times and thought it was no longer open because the windows are so tinted that you can’t see the “open” sign lit up. I would recommend stronger visibility to see that you are open. Loved the robot service, nice touch.”

“Rikisimos los Cafes Frios”

“Giving 5 stars because the food is consistently good. But I am leaving this comment because I ordered and picked up 4 sandwiches and none had a pickle spear in the box. Minor thing but it's the minor details that should never be forgotten.”

“Everything we ordered was delicious. I had chicken tenders w/onion rings to share, hub had western burger w/fries, and son had cheeseburger. We had a mix of fountain drinks and bottled Coke. Afterward, we finished with chocolate shakes for all, which were yummy as well.

We ordered at the counter, then staff served our food to our table on trays. He was pleasant, helpful and efficient. I could tell that he anticipated what we might need and stayed a step ahead. Thx for that!

Clean restrooms. Clean tables and booths. There was even an outlet at our seat to charge phone.

5+ stars!”

“Outstanding foods, so authentic. We’ve seen many postings in social media which do it little justice. We’re so glad we visited and came home with a big haul. Also, our neighbor brought is dinner the other day and we were instantly hooked!”

“A take out order today had one "glitch," so I wondered if J's was slipping again. I called the restaurant and talked to the person who had sent the order out. She apologized and said there would be a credit on my next order either delivery or in the restaurant. But almost immediately, Jay, the owner, sent me an email apology increasing the credit (double the cost of the item) and saying he was sorry for the error and disappointing me. That prompt and responsive action on the part of the owner counts. Things go wrong with any restaurant or any business. I learned long ago as a customer - and as a consultant to the top execs at Fortune 500 companies - that the true measure of a company isn't how they act when things are going well (that's easy) but rather how they handle it when things go awry. Jay handled the minor mistake in my order with professionalism, responsiveness, promptness, and kindness. The order was on time, packaged perfectly, and the key thing, great food. As I said in the past, there was a period in which I saw some problems at J's, but for a while now, I have seen nothing but great food, good service, and attention to the customer. I hope others go to J's and find the same.”

“The coffee bean on El Paseo is amazing! The drink selection is great and they are made to perfection! Not only do you get great drinks but you also get free entertainment watching the people and cars pass by. It is a great location to sit and relax!
I forgot to mention they are all so nice there, too!”

“We absolutely love it here. It is hands down, everybody in the families favourite spot. It is our first stop every time we land in PS. The food is so fresh and high quality, the service is beyond amazing. They have taken the time to get to know everyone’s orders by heart and even started carrying diet coke just for us. 10/10!”

“I always come here for the Katsu Curry and Takoyaki, but their new Chicken Katsu Sando is 🔥! Crispy, juicy, and seriously delicious. Definitely adding this to my regular order! 🙌”

“Gathering of new found friends. Beautiful weather. It was not yet too hot. Nice shade, slight breeze, lovely views and good food. What more could you ask for? Ah yes, the service was great as well! Sorry, we had such a great time, we forgot to take pictures of the food and surroundings.”

“This place is my all time favorite restaurant to eat in the Coachella Valley. Buzz always has the best recommendations for beer, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is always fresh and tasty. We lived in Palm Desert for about 11 years and every time we’re back in town we make sure to come by here to grab a drink and some snacks. We love getting to see Buzz, he makes it the best place to eat!”

“I don’t have enough wonderful words to describe our amazing experience at Flor de Jalisco!! The food is cooked to perfection, the flavors are off the chart, and the service is outstanding!! �����”

“Amazing service i love this subway”

“When in PS, this is the only place for italian food. Reserve early to not be disappointed”

“I go there for lunch whenever I'm in Palm Desert. The soup and salad are the best!!They are very GF friendly, and our service was outstanding. The desserts are out of this world, even the GF deserts! I highly recommend a visit !”

“We had a terrific lunch here; excellent fish tacos! Comfy, authentic atmosphere and friendly, attentive service. The chips (made on-site) were the best we'd ever had; so fresh and crunchy that we ordered a bag to go, too! I highly recommend this Cucina!”

“We have been to Boulevards 3 or 4 times for dinner, each time it was a great experience; service, food, and ambiance way above par...however, we had lunch for the first time a week ago this past Friday with 7 other people. While the service was good, the food was subpar...I had a professional LA Chef with us, who did not say a word, but neither he or his wife ate their lunches and I know them well enough to know they did not like it...I ordered chili, it was not very good and was luke warm, but the server took it immediately and warmed it. My partner ordered a club sandwich, it too was subpar, and another friend also ordered chili and felt as I did. While the others in the party were grandkids, the one salad looked like a bowl filled with lettuce thrown together, and not much thought at that, one had a sandwich and I looked at that, it too looked awful, and my one grandson said his lunch was good...I do not remember what he had. For a place that has no kids menu and prices are steep, everything should be served professionally. ALSO...I was in the restaurant business in LA and NYC for over 25 years and it is 2024 and time for Boulevards to have a voice mail instead of a message that askes the customer to call back when they cant answer the phone as they "are serving other customers" The customer should not have to keep calling back. By the way, I just called to make reservations for this coming Tues nite, 4 times over a 15 - 20 minute period, and each time I got this same message. We really like Boulevards for dinner, but as with all restaurants, and included my own, there is always room for improvement!”

“Thanksgiving dinner again was exceptional. The greeting on arrival, the incredible menu, amazing service deliver a five star experience every visit. The outdoor dining creates a unique ambiance and if you want the best in fine dining..Jillian's is outstanding.”

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .”

“Great staff, very knowledgeable super prices”

“Such a delightful Thanksgiving, thanks to Bouchées. Every dish was from there. We enjoyed his foods, and have for years. His food is prepared exceptionally. Thank you, Tim, for making our celebration special.”

“I love everything about this place!!! Great food, delish drinks, super fun, creative decor, good service and lovely ambience!!! One of my favorite places in the desert!”

“Great Food! Excellent service, and in a wonderful location. I’ll be eating here regularly”

Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert”

“Absolutely the best Rib eye I have eaten anywhere. Perfect flavor. I'll be back.”

“We had such amazing service today at this Denny's. Cenisa R is "THEE MOST AMAZING SERVER" She was so professional and on top of everything including refilling our drinks. Cenisa is a wonderful young lady, fantastic personality and service. Denny's should be very proud to have someone of this quality working for them. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Today, my wife and I had a delicious lunch at CJ’s. I had the fish and chips and my wife had the chicken fajitas. Both dishes were excellent! The food was well prepared and well presented. The staff was friendly and accommodating. And the atmosphere of CJ’s Is charming. We will definitely be return customers.”

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.”

“Had the best time with Amy definitely will be back”

“Amazing food and service. We enjoyed everything thoroughly. Our waiter, Kohl, was extremely attentive to our every need. Darrell, the manager, came by to make sure we were satisfied. We will definitely be back.”

“Great service … Great good”

“Waldo’s is awesome!!! A group of 12 went to Waldo’s last night and had an amazing time. Every dish we ate was fabulous. Our server Barbara was amazing and so attentive. Our new favorite restaurant.”

“I had dinner with my wife last week and it was really good. I had the ny wagyu 8oz, it wasn’t cheap but it was crazy good. Cooked perfect. The bread basket was good. The wait staff were there for you , our waiter Aaron was a nice guy very informed on the menu, and made sure we needed nothing. I loved the old school look of the waiters , white jackets”

“Great service should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!”

“Found this fine establishment by accident. A great find. Was on a drive from NorCal to Phoenix & stopped in Palm Desert for the night. Will return their often!”

“We originally came because of finding you on the Upside app. Little did we know……Wow! Such an amazing meal and awesome service! Arturo was our server and was on top of his game. The Lasagna “Bolognase” was out of this world. Very rich and flavorful. The homemade sausage….out of this world! My wife had The penne with red and white sauce. Again….delicious! We will be back!”

“Elena was our server and was wonderful! Great attitude and excellent service. The food was delicious! Best meal we have had out in a long time. The burrata appetizer was amazing! Definitely a repeat while we are in Palm Desert.”

“Can't go wrong with Olive Garden. Great place to eat with a familly. Fresh Italian food. Easy to access and park. I'd recommend taking a small jumper as the AC is pushed to the max in the restaurant and we got chilly.”

“A fantastic Italian ristorante. Great food and highly recommended. Can't wait to go back!”

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.”

“To be honest if I’m writing a review it’s most likely going to be a bad one but the service, atmosphere, and food were so great where I had to hop on here and give them 5 stars. James and Fabian were the best Host/Chef duo and I can’t thank them enough. I will always come here when I’m in the area because of them. My family and I had an amazing time thank you guys again!”

“Wow! I’m so blown away by this PHENOMENAL pizza place. My new favorite! Staff were awesome and I settled on a Hot Honey Pepperoni. I’m normally not a fan of thick pizzas but this just WORKS. I’ve had GOOD pizzas, but it’s been over a decade since I’ve had an innovative one. These are works of art, very well done. I love the rockabilly vibe too. I’ll be rocking your shirt and spreading the word.”

“Top tier. The owners were extremely nice and personable. The food was excellent and the service commendable. I would absolutely be dining there again. We didn’t want to wait for a table so we ended up eating at the bar.”

“Best enchilada I've ever had. All his stuff is made from scratch not using canned ingredients makes a big difference. I can't wait for them to open back up soon!”

“Back for the second time and even more obsessed! This coffee shop is just the cutest. The pastries were so delicious, and the Sueno coffee completely blew me away with its orange and vanilla flavors—perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. I would’ve never thought of this combo in a coffee, but it’s amazing! I’ll definitely be back for this. I think it’s my new favorite coffee flavor. I also tried the Calabaza coffee, filled with cozy pumpkin and fall spices—so delicious and comforting. The staff is so friendly and incredibly helpful with the menu, and it really adds to the experience. There were about 20 people in line ahead of me today, but it was totally worth the wait, and they still got the drinks out impressively fast. This place is truly a gem—I can’t wait to try more of their coffees and matchas! ✨☕🍊🍂💛”

“Not just best birria in the valley but best restaurant by far. Staff is extremely welcoming and Jesus goes above and beyond to make sure your meal is 5 stars. I come here every Friday.”

“Great new bakery in town! Fresh bread & deserts. Their sourdough is amazing. Very friendly staff that explained everything and helped us make the best choice. Recommend!”

“I love this restaurant. The atmosphere is charming and the food is delicious.

You order up front, but the food is delivered to the table. All the staff is courteous, friendly and helpful.”

“My family and I were looking for a fun, toddler-friendly spot for lunch, and this place was a fantastic find! Dale was both bartending and waiting tables, and he was incredible—super friendly, attentive, and so kind to our toddler, which we truly appreciated. We ordered the chicken sandwich, French dip, and chili, and everything was delicious. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!”

“Amazing ice cream and delicious sorbet! So happy to have this in our neighborhood. Julie had mango and watermelon sorbet. I had blueberry cheesecake. The flavors were incredible. Update: We visited again a week later. This place is amazing. Great staff! Excellent music. The place is clean and has bright lit interiors and it’s fun for the entire family. We rode our bikes over one night around 8 PM. The ice cream was even better than we remembered. This is likely to become a weekly stop for us. So glad to have this business in our neighborhood. We are so lucky! I visited again for a third time. Outstanding! Don’t miss this place. Go! Go! Go!”

“My husband and I tried shake shack for the first time ever, and it was amazing!! The food was so good and fresh. John was amazing as well. He helped us order, answered all our questions, and he made us feel so welcomed. John brought our food to our table, asked us if we needed anything, and in between customers he would walk the floor and check on everyone. He was very sweet.”

“This is a small family owned business run by the most lovely people! Chris, the chef has the most wonderful adaptation of any dish you order off the menu and they have daily specials; and Holly, wife and co owner is always there with a smile to greet you and is a fabulous baker of donuts and pastries ( seasonal, weather permitting). They are all so very hospitable you’ll want to eat there several times a week, we do!!! I have taken so many people here for brunch that have now become regulars. They are closed on Wednesday but open every other day of the week until 2 PM.”

“Mattie was very kind, we’re from out of town and he provided a lovely experience for us. Would 100% recommend the peach matcha as well as the cherry pie!”

“Parking needs an additional disabled spot. Be careful with drivers - people don’t care how they drive through this parking lot. I wish we were able to purchase bread through the drive thru. I was told by one employee in store that I could but that wasn’t the case at the ordering point. Overall it’s always clean and they usually have a good amount and variety of breads available.”

“First time visiting the area and happened to drive by this place. My mom & I decided to check it out and it was awesome!

Mom is pescatarian and I’m vegetarian. We shared the egg rolls, small Tom Kha soup, and mama’s drunken noodles with veggies. Mom also had the crab Rangoon and I had a Thai Tea. Everything was 10/10 delicious and great customer service. Cute ambiance and great prices. I will be returning on my next trip!”

“Excellent lunch at the Bighorn Cafe. We had the Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken and souvenir soda. Food and atmosphere were great. It's amazing how the attentive staff keeps the restaurant so clean and organizes. Highly recommended and will definitely go again.”
