50 Best American Restaurants near Coachella

“The best tech in my life I love the steakhouse in there. When my husband have a life we’ve been there once a month to eat steak and he love by live and I love lobster.“

“The wonton soup is excellent , the service is Better , plenty of parking“

“I’m a craft beer fanatic, so when you read my review please keep that in mind. Service was great, the pizza was really good, but there were no “real” craft beers. This is despite, claiming to have a brewery onsite. They do have three or four beers brewed there, but they were not that good. All of the others came from the big, mass produced breweries. Come for the food and atmosphere, but not for the beer.“

“Very tasty Thanksgiving dinner!! So glad to have found this special eatery!!“

“Stopped in for breakfast before heading back to the San Fernando Valley after a weekend in La Quinta and were glad we did.

This place definitely has the feel of a local favorite, which is always a good sign. There was a wait for indoor seating, but we were seated on the patio right away.

Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive throughout our meal. The breakfast menu had so many good options that choosing was the hardest part. I ordered the Country Breakfast with over-easy eggs and hash browns, while my husband went with the breakfast burrito.

The restaurant was busy, so there was a bit of a wait for our food, but it was completely understandable and the staff did a great job keeping our coffee and water topped off in the meantime.

When our meals arrived, we were surprised by the portion sizes—everything was huge and absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

If we lived locally, this would definitely become a regular breakfast spot. Highly recommended!“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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. 😊🤗💜😉“

“customer service was excellent, our servers name was Amanda she was very polite not only to us but she greeted all customers with a smile that would enter the restaurant Her customer service skills are great she was very attentive.“

“My husband and I stopped in here for lunch after reading other reviews. I can honestly confirm the exceptional reviews. The atmosphere is very Hard Rockish with lots of fascinating memorabilia throughout, along with awesome large rockstar artwork. Music is great, along with large screen tvs and nice bar overlooking the golf course . There's an outside patio that looks to be set up for live entertainment, as well as other outdoor seating overlooking the golf course. The food was excellent! We shared an order of calimari fries and the cocktail sauce was great with a nice zing from the horseradish. My husband had the lunch special pizza with pepperoni and smoked chicken. I had the Italian pinwheels and fries...thoroughly enjoyed them, as they were stuffed with meats, cheese, etc. We would both order the same again, and plan to go back. Sadly, we both failed to take pics of the food, but did capture some of the fun interior. Our server was so friendly and welcoming and truly attentive. Definitely pay a visit.“

“Loving coming here the food is always good and just an old dinner vibe! I always get the cheeseburger with avocado and bacon. One of the only thing that sucks is the pricing really doesn’t make sense single cheese burger avocado and bacon is 9.99 but with the double is five bucks more. Overall great experience and really good food!“

“Great food great service great prices great hamburgers“

“I love the POM it never disappoints me“

“Wonderful lunch outdoor setting, delicious food and very friendly service.“

“Woodhaven has a band Hotwyre who is the best band. Love their tune & set list. Lots of dancing to iconic rock n roll!“

“Saintsteelwood is a live rock band and one of our favorite places to play is The Tack Room. We play feel good sounds of the swingin' 60's. Please come see us play and dance to our live music. There's a large dance area, friendly staff and great food. We play throughout the Coachella Valley. ✌️❤️“

“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.“

“great eats and great service“

“Amazing course and staff, the course plays well and both inviting and challenging. Views are out of the world.“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“Course in great shape. Friendly staff. Fun times with clubhouse for an after game refreshment!“

“Excellent food and everything is delicious! Prices are good and portions are large. I highly recommend Sloan’s.“

“We were staying overnight, on our way to Los Angeles, and came across this little gem. The variety of food was stupendous. The staff were super friendly and helpful! Very clean establishment! We both had the Turkey and Bacon Wrap and it was delightful! Decently priced! Would recommend to anyone!! Way to go guys!“

“After a long day at Coachella, we were looking for a good local spot outside the festival grounds—and Maxcy’s Grill hit the spot. It’s a solid, no-frills diner-style place that delivers exactly what you’d expect. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and the service was friendly. For what it is and where it is, Maxcy’s is a great choice if you’re in the area and want a satisfying meal without the crowds or high prices of the festival.“

“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!“

“Staff is so helpful and fun to be with, the cocktails are wonderful and wine is lovely, and the food choices are incredible!“

“The servers were very attentive.“

“Angelica rocks her customer service! Every time we go there, we ask to be seated in her section, and Angelica waits on us as if we are family. If she's not training new wait staff, she sure should be.

Kristopher the manager backs up his staff in every way, which shows how he leads by example. I've worked with the public all my life, including waiting, and I know exceptional service when I experience it.

On top of all of this, the atmosphere and food are excellent.“

“Amazing experience even though we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves while we were there. So grateful to Mike and his team for their next level superior service, delicious food, incredible empathy and generosity. Thank you! We will be back with much more to contribute the next time. :). Thank you to the entire lovely team here.“

“The best place to eat in the DESERT FOR VALUE....everything is very good and prices are very reasonable for the value...“

“Awesome food, friendly staff great atmosphere would highly recommend“

“Haven't been here in years. It really has gotten better! We definitely enjoyed our lunch. The spicy honey mustard grilled chicken sandwich was fantastic. And the southwestern chicken bowl was great too. Super awesome service!! She was very thorough and gracious. We really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you. We'll be back.“

“Burgers and Beer is a cool spot I found nearby EOS. The place looked pretty big from the outside, so I asked my partner if she wanted to do an early dinner. I noticed they have daily specials, but be mindful that they usually serve from 11-3, and after that, the happy hour menu takes over till 6.
We originally came for the tuesday burger deal, but we arrived after 3, we still ordered a burger and decided to try the machaca chimichangas from the HH menu. The service was great, thanks Javier. I really appreciated the variety, not just food and beers, but sports on TV too.
The only thing was that the bottom bun of the burger was very soggy, our server joked its gravity’s fault...
Maybe adding a crisp, dry lettuce layer underneath could help. Overall, great vibes and a fun place to chill and hang out.“

“Great place to hang out. I like the Bloody Mary bar on Sundays.“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“We so enjoyed our dinner tonight at Cork and Fork in La Quinta- delicious Vegan options- crispy cauliflower and the Brussels Sprouts starter were delicious- and the wines served on the Happy Hour menu were delightful! We’ll be back!“

“I was visiting from Canada and celebrated the release of a debut music video at a place no more fitting than Big Rock! It was my first time here and I couldn’t believe how jaw-dropping the entire experience was. The glass-encased piano below my feet and the guitar-shaped door handles already had me grinning from ear-to-ear before I even stepped inside! The place got more magical as my eyes wandered in delight at all the musical wonders to look at throughout the well-used space - walls, floors, and even the ceilings were covered in signed guitars and incredible artwork. I tried their smash burger (subbed with a vegan patty) and it was delicious! I loved how it was served over tater tots instead of a bun, and its presentation was top-notch. What an exciting and memorable place! Thank you for running such an an awesome joint. Cheers!!“

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋“

“Been coming to this little restaurant for over 5 years and I am only saddened that I discovered it late. My husband holds very dear memories of this place as a child. Food always delicious, service always timely and the cooks are gifted ! They are doing an amazing job ! Thank you for your service to the community.“

“This ice cream parlor is so cute! Looks like a 70's diner and the interior colors are so pretty. I got a vanilla with peanuts and they added whipped cream and a cherry to my order. It tastes so good! A super sweet delight in the hot weather. I will be coming back tomorrow! Lol prices r also good“

“This place was absolutely great. Steve our server was super friendly and the food was spot on. Will definitely come back again.“

“My husband and I decided to stop in to Red Robin in La Quinta about 2 weeks ago since we have not been there for many years due to our diet. We had a great experience with our server, Edwin. He was the best....on top of everything and more!! We were craving your onion rings and hamburgers, which we do not eat very often....so it was treat. We had to share both items due to our small appetites. We were impressed with how the split was done - different from other restaurants and thanked Edwin as well. It truly made us feel special and with the follow-up and service Edwin provided, we will return more often, and, coming back next week with friends. Thank you!!

“Wow it’s very rare when I sit at the bar but this time I had the best bartender/server (Kenneth) he was very polite n happy always with a smile, checking if I was ok n if I need another beer or anything he also suggested to try some other drinks.
Overall I’ll look forward to be looking for this guy Kenneth.“

“Their food is delicious. My Barbecue Pork Ribs melted off the bone with great flavor. My baked potato was perfectly soft, almost like mashed potatoes. My Chili cup was delicious as well.“

“When I’m this far up in LQ I always stop @ Ernie’s ! I had the BBQ Burger and Wings good food and great view !“

“I went through the drive-thru and the young gentleman that helped me at the drive-thru was very interesting and talkative. He gave me a little small cup with a little bit of whipped cream in it for my little frontier had with me. Definitely will come back again!“

“I was ordering food to go. I had a great experience. Thank you Melissa for all your great customer service and accommodating me. I will definitely refer my friends and family to IHOP in Indio. Again thank you Melissa for such a great job you did with your customer service skills. 10 stars“
