50 Best American Restaurants near Desert Hot Springs

“The ambience was very relaxing!“

“We were in the area, found this restaurant and decided to give it a try! It looks like a Dive Bar from the outside and when you go inside it still looks like a Dive Bar!

BUT:
The service was great, the food was great and the price was great!“

“All Star Burger is definitely a good addition to the limited variety of places to eat in DHS. They have a very good selection to choose from , ranging from breakfast, lunch & dinner as well as Mexican & American dishes. The prices are reasonable, the portions are filling , the people are friendly and most importantly (to me at leat) it was CLEAN!.
My son and I had breakfast bit will be returning to try their burgers ?“

“Tortillas soup delicious, la mejor que he probado! Todo muy limpio y comida deliciosa, excelente customer service, very attentive and friendly staff!“

“Such amazing food! I love the food here and am super thankful to live so close! I hope they never change that fry seasoning because omg it's so good!! Great staff, great prices, clean, great location, and just an all star all the way around!“

“I enjoyed a wonderful experience at Farm in Palm Springs for an early Mother's Day dinner. We had delightful three hour six course dinner in a magical setting with live music and delicious fare. PROS: The hostesses graciously greeted us and sat us a bit earlier than our reservation time. Had a nice table in one of the rooms with a fireplace and a large mirror. The saxophonist played and the sound poured in with great acoustics from the speakers. The amuse bouch had avocado, so I could not eat it, so my mom enjoyed all two. My dad could not eat solid foods due to mouth surgery. The bread course had warm fresh items and silky salty butter. The beet salad, melon salad, and corn soup provided earthy, tart, sweet, and creamy bites and tastes. The varied textures provided a kaleidescope of fresh tastes. The baked brie offered sweet and savory mixes of grilled bread, pear, and date spread! The lemon sorbet palate cleanser provided a balanced experience that did its job. The salmon entree provided an exquisitely pan fried crispy and juicy flaky fillet. The creamy dijon mustard sauce complimented the protein perfectly. The sweet peppers offered a wonderful crunch. The swiss chard added some bitter contrast to the garlic potatoes. The wonderfully bitter Citron crepe provided a nice end to a culinary cruise. Crystal took great photos in the garden. Gilbert was professional and affable. CONS: They asked me so many times for extra drinks. I had to prompt them multiple times to fill the water glasses and refills on tea and diet coke. They charged me full price for mashed potatoes, soup, and sorbet for my dad's meal. I get it. OVERALL: I highly recommend this restaurant for a magical evening meal inspired by Provence, France.“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Great experience celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. A big thanks to Chad for their top notch service and sense of humor.“

“This is what a California Diner should be. John's is a throwback of years gone by in the most wonderful way. the way it smells, the way it looks- the food, the ordering counter, literally everything. John's is one of the most complete places to eat in Palm Springs“

“in the heart of palm springs. Nice Patio and restaurant. Very good food. Nice and friendly server. very friendly owner.“

“Went for a birthday breakfast quick and attentive staff good food good cinnamon role all around good people“

“We stopped by Denny's yesterday for an early dinner. Nadia was our server and she could not have been nicer. My husband ordered a grilled cheese and the cheese wasn't melted all the way through, but everything else was tasty. Nadia provided such great customer service that we'll for sure be back. She was fantastic!“

“Our 2nd time at Spencer’s, and it certainly won’t be the last. Service is extraordinary, the food exceptional, and the ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend it. I write for a local paper in Missouri -where I despair of the quality displayed by so many restaurants. No wonder I was eager to get back to Spencer’s on our recent trip to Palm Desert.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience on Saturday, January 17. Our waitress was Marlene and so truly added to our evening! Kudos to Marlene! Loved the table lighting too“

“Everything is wonderful! I can’t wait to come back on my next trip.“

“Absolutely delicious! We went to Bongo Johnny’s for the first time, and we will definitely be going back! The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was so tasty! It is funny but the atmosphere seems very casual, but the food is something you would expect from a fine dining experience. Thankfully the prices were pretty reasonable! And to top it all off, the music was the best! When we were there they were playing 80s music and we just loved it! Bongo Johnny’s is a must if you haven’t been there yet. You won’t be disappointed! 😋😋😋“

“So I was seated immediately. The hostess and waiters were really quick and nice. The cooks were often not at the omelet counter, so people often waited a few minutes. The food was decent. The waffles and French toast were not too good, dry and overseasoned. The rest was good though. For a quick large meal, it was worth it.“

“I saw Wilma & Frieda's on an episode of Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives...so I had to try it while I was in town. Watching the process of how W&F makes their housemade short ribs made my mouth water, and me want to take the 2 hour drive from San Diego...\n\n$21 Short Rib Melt Sandwich...Here it was! The short rib sandwich I saw on TV was now in my hands...and it was good. Just good. Not great. The flavors were good, the short rib was flavorful and tasty, but I wish there was more of it. Came with some nice crispy tots.\n\n$7 Blueberry Breakfast Tart...W&F's housemade "Pop Tart" pastry was a cute, whimsical, sweet, and lovely dessert pastry.\n\nGood food, not great, and bit pricy for the portion and quality. Maybe it was overhyped in my brain from the TV show...never meet your heroes?“

“The nitro cold brew was delightful.My wife and I weren't happy with the pastries. However, the staff were most friendly and graciously offered me a refund. I am quite satisfied with this, so five stars for good service, good vibes, good coffee!I'll return.“

“Course is in great condition, very nice layout, great staff.“

“Food and and service outstanding. Was there for dinner last night. Trio has undergone some great changes. I truly recommend it.“

“Okay I had really low expectations of this restaurant after reading some reviews but I had to dine here to use some F&B credit I had. It turned out to be a very satisfying meal!

I went on a Saturday noon. It’s quite empty just a few tables were occupied. I ordered steak salad ($25) and it was amazing!!! The steak was cooked to perfection and the salad portion was generous.

My partner got steak and fries )
($30) and it was delicious too. Fries were crispy I couldn’t stop eating lol.

Our waitress was also very welcoming (forgot her name but she had some tattoos on her arms).

Bloody Mary was just average so I don’t recommend it. Other than that I think this place deserves a solid 4.“

“We came here from Canada and I just needed to write a review about Patrick, he visited our table and made sure we all ordered food that we’d like etc, but his personality was absolutely phenomenal, he is so hilarious and personable. Would absolutely recommend this place solely to see him but the food was just as good.“

“Great Breakfast & drinks.“

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Our 5th year dining at The Farm for Valentine's Day. The service is wonderful and the food is beautifully presented. There are plenty of choices available and the portions are just perfect as well as the pace that the food is brought out. It is a lovely dining experience when in Palm Springs.“

“This is my fave go to brunch spot in Palm Springs. I’m a little surprised it’s not rated higher! The patio is lovely for ambiance and the service has alway been great. The food is also so delicious. Highly recommend their huevos rancheros!“

“Great evening with friends for a cocktail, server was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic.“

“My favorite stop when driving to Arizona. I love there pancakes. Now I can get my favorite omelet and add pancakes for $2.00. I love their servers they really work as a team. Their cooks always make my food perfect.“

“Wonderful Food and Service. Everything was Outstanding !“

“Good service and fast service friendly“

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!“

“Friendly and Welcoming small town atmosphere bar and grill. Great service, food and drinks. Due to both the bartenders who also take your order and serve you. And, their great cook!“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“Friendly, great brunch selection, and excellent service!“

“What a swanky breakfast spot! Lots of special items on the menu.
Beware the steelcut oats don’t say cinnamon but after preferring I discovered they have “ just a little cinnamon if you’re allergic that’s unexceptionable #allergygirl. They quickly made it right by bringing me my second choice buttermilk, corn pancakes with fresh blueberries. You can’t taste the kernels of corn but they give it a little crunch which I enjoyed. They serve real maple syrup which of course is delicious! I tried two kinds of bacon : regular and turkey. The regular bacon was crispy and the turkey was not but it was tasty. I tried the cheddar biscuit which was savory and perfect with butter.“

“One of the main reasons why we love to go to Palm Springs is because there are so many great places to enjoy fine dining. Zin American bistro is on top of our list of restaurants to visit during our stay. Some of our favorites? Start with their Fried blue cheese olives, their truffle Pommes frites never disappoint, their Savory wild mushroom truffle soup will keep you coming back, their burrata salad is definitely on point in freshness, and their brunch champaign with their huevos rancheros or Verde Chilaquiles will place them on anyone’s top list of restaurants to go when in Palm Springs. Not to forget their amazing and friendly service (ask for Alexa, she was fabulous). Tell them Noel and Marcus say hi and we can’t wait to see them next time we’re in town. 😀“

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“

“Staff is amazing, food and drinks are delicious, you can bring your fur-babies, you're not sitting on top of each other, the vibe is relaxing with great music playing in the background, but not too loudly. We had a fantastic time!“

“Dear Escena Management I am writing to formally request a refund for the golfing fees paid for my recent visit to Escena golf course on May 4th 2024. Upon booking, I was led to believe, based on the descriptions and images presented on your website, that your course offered premium facilities and conditions. Regrettably, my experience did not meet these expectations. The condition of both the fairways and greens was notably poor and not reflective of the high standard promoted online. Additionally, the level of noise from constant overhead airplane traffic significantly detracted from the experience, further compounded by an exceedingly slow pace of play throughout the day. I have also noticed a number of overly positive reviews on your website and various social media platforms, which seem inconsistent with my experience and potentially misleading to other customers. This disparity raises concerns regarding the authenticity of those reviews and suggests a possible deceptive practice that I believe warrants further investigation. Given these issues, I feel that the quality of the course and the overall experience did not justify the prepayment of $166 per person. Therefore, I kindly request a full refund of the fees paid. I believe this request is reasonable under the circumstances and aligns with fair trading practices. Please let me know how we can facilitate this refund. I am hopeful for a swift resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response.“

“I stopped in to grab some lunch and noticed they had one of my favorite dishes on their menu. Camarones Ala Diabla, so I thought I'd give it a try since everything I've ever ordered from this place has always been delicious. Well I was not disappointed, there were plenty of shrimp in a spicy red sauce, served with rice, beans and tortillas. The sauce was very tasty without overwhelming me. Definitely going back for this dish and so much more!“

“I was a guest of some members. This place has so much potential that is not being utilized. The food is ok, (same menu as 849). The service is excellent and the setting is charming! With a little time, creativity and investment this could be on the same level as La Vallerius. Alas...it is what it is...“

“Janna is a darling! We are visiting from Victoria BC and came to the Post 519 in Palm Springs.
Janna made us feel welcome right from the get-go!
Very energetic and so polite. She makes you feel that you are a part of the Legion family. Janna is the reason we kept coming back during our stay! Thank you Janna for having us!“

“Selected this property for a short stay in the desert. I had seen mixed reviews since COVID but my personal experience was very positive. Received an incredibly warm welcome from Luke at the Front Desk. He could not have been more gracious and helpful. He even walked us to our room [#302]. As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member I was very grateful that my suite upgrade request had cleared. The room was spacious and well laid out. There was a queen bed and a separate sofabed [no mention of this on the website though]. Two negatives included a lot of noise from the outside street [Indian Canyon Drive is a very busy road] also the bathroom really smelled whenever we took a shower.. the drains clearly need to be cleaned out. Everything else was great though...location is awesome...pools are really nice. One piece of advice...the cost of parking is not worth it...we parked on the surrounding streets. Recommend you do the same.“
