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!!“

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“I've been coming here for years. So many breakfast options to choose from. I got the chicken fried steak and hubby got the machaca plate. Very flavorful and prepared perfectly. Jared was a great server and manager. I definitely recommend this place. So yummy!“

“So delicious so fun best birthday ever!“

“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. 😊🤗💜😉“

“This Pub is freaking amazing! This was my husband and my first time and we were both very impressed by the food and atmosphere. We both couldn’t stop looking at all the amazing memorabilia they have all over the place. The food was super delicious. I ordered the Chicken Avocado sandwich. The combination of the Gouda cheese and the spicy candy bacon was delicious! I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to see some live music here! My husband and I will definitely be back.“

“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!“

“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. ✌️❤️“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Great ambiance. The service was outstanding. Outdoor dining was excellent and I enjoyed it very much.“

“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.“

“Old school diner. We used to go here years ago when we lived in Palm Desert. Same food today. Taco salad is my fave. Burger isn't as good as we remember. Ranch dressing tastes home-made and is great! Tacos were yummy. Great stop with kids. Diner itself is older...but clean. Great location when you want a good stop close to I-10!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“Really overhyped cheesing burger, the ad's get you to try, major let down. 7 of us tried, and no one cared for the burger. Service was slow. Bartender was more interested in chatting, than getting the beers out. Overhyped and Overpriced. Sad been going there for 15 years probably won't go back...“

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

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

“great eats and great service“

“food and cocktails where great. very nice staff. reservations are a must and specify where u want to sit!!!“

“USUALLLY THEY ARE ON POINT. BUT, NOT FRIDAY NIGHT! I KNOW THEY WERE BUSY BUT, MY MOTHER (IT WAS HER 78TH BDAY) AND I BOTH ORDERED THE COWBOY RIBEYE. BOTH REQUESTED MEDIUM. NOW, IT THE PAST, MEDIUM ALWAYS CAME A LITTLE BROWN AROUND THE EDGES AWITH A WARM PINK CENTER. NOT THIS NIGHT. I STUCK MY FORM IN IT AND IT WAS STILL MOOING!!! I USUALLY DON'T MIND IF IT'S MORE RARE IN THE CENTER OF THE STEAK BECAUSE I CAN NEVER FINISH A WHOLE STEAK SO HAVING IT ALMOST RARE MEANS WHEN I REHEAT IT, IT WILL STILL BW TENDER AND JUICY! I DIDN'T SEND IT BACK AND I COULDN'T EAT IT BUT I WAS OK! I HAS A CEASER SALAD, BREAD, AND MY LOADED POTATOE. THE STEAK CAME HOME WITH ME. I CUT HALF THAT NIGHT AND REHEATED IT IN THE AIR FRYER AND HAD THE REST YESTERDAY MORNING FOR BREAKFAST WITH EGGS AND HASHBROWNS! TALK ABOUT GOOD! YES, EVEN THOUGH THE STEAK WAS RARER THAT I CARE FOR, IT WAS JUST RIGHT LATER! I STILL SAY 5 STAR! IT TAKES A SPECIAL TALENT TO UNDERCOOK SOMETHING AND IT STILL TASTE REALLY GOOD LATER! LOL“

“The lunch specials here and at the Palm Desert location at the Mall, are really good and offered 7 days a week. Good food and nice choices. Pizzas of course are good but so are the salads, sandwiches and pastas. Sometimes a bit inconsistent but always good . Service is friendly. One of my faves for lunch!“

“The "5 Sisters" that originated from Michigan, meet once a year in California... The California sister and her husband treated us to the Lavender Bistro for Valentines Day. We were met at the door with long stem roses and seated promptly in the outdoor patio. So beautiful, every tree limb was lit up, the waitstaff was very attentive and kind. The Brick walls were lined with blooming bougainvillea, couldn't have been more perfect. The "Set" Menu had something for every taste. Our appetizers and meals were delicious. The 4-piece dessert was a real treat!! I can't wait to visit again!! Thank you Lavender Bistro!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We were in from out of town looking for a sports bar and found this place. We got lucky with this one and ended up going 2 nights there. Don't let the name fool you, the Mexican dishes on the menu were outstanding and probably ended up being everyone's favorite items. Wings, Bills R.V. Nachos, Burgers, Enchiladas, Cobb Burger among the favorites. LOTS of TVs, Great Service and never a wait for us. Highly recommend.“

“came right after Coachella concert with my friends , great food and great service from amanda“

“The servers were very attentive.“

“Great food. Stop here every chance I get. Recommend it!!“

“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!!“

“I come here more for the ice cream than the casino, and honestly, the ice cream is the best! It’s not overly sweet, super smooth, melts perfectly in your mouth, and feels so clean that you don’t even get thirsty afterward. The portions are generous for the price, which is a huge plus. Today I also tried the nachos — not too salty, just perfect. Even if you’re not here for the casino, it’s worth stopping by just for the ice cream!“

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

“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!“

“The food was delicious service was excellent. Definitely going back.“

“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.“
