50 Best American Restaurants near Desert Hot Springs

“Came here for the first time and didn’t know what to expect. Walking in, there is bar seating to the right and dining tables on the left. The whole place has a dive bar vibe, but in an awesome way. My husband ordered the everything burger and I ordered the brisket cheese burger. we both absolutely loved our burgers as they were cooked to perfection. Also, the condiments were fresh and tasty. We also ordered a couple beers on tap. The marshmallow stout was delicious. I can’t wait to come back here again for more!! For people considering bringing in the whole family: I would say it is not a rowdy bar but it is more oriented towards adults.

Kid-friendliness: It depends how mature your kids are.“

“The ambience was very relaxing!“

“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!“

“All Star is always tasty, and convenient in its location in Sky Valley if you don't want to have to go anywhere far.
Has decent American and Mexican fare.
Good breakfast foods.
I would say the only somewhat negative would be it's a little pricey for what it all is, however, you're pretty much paying for convenience.
Side note, their French fries have a tasty season salt on them ?“

“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“

“Fabulous highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Excellent vibe, cocktails of the chain and food exquisite 🙌❤️“

“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.“

“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! 😋😋😋“

“My friends and I had fantastic service from our waitress, Nadia. She was accommodating and helpful. She remembered every request and served us promptly. She has the sweetest personality! When it came time to pay our bill, Brandon was quick and kind. Great service today!“

“Great food and family feeling customer service.“

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

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

“Delicious Romesco Benedict with shrimp and avocado! Nice place inside and out on a lovely shady side street (La Plaza).“

“We were traveling and this was first time at a Tommy Bahamas (honestly didn’t know they existed except for their clothing line)… we were pleasantly surprised and reminded us a lot of a Kona Grill but better tasting and less expensive!… even sought out the manager to tell him so… service was also on par… we do highly recommend it…“

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

“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.“

“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?“

“If you are staying at the Renaissance and don't want to walk to breakfast, this is the spot. They have a buffet which includes a made-yp-order omelette bar. They also have a menu to order off if you want pancakes or something else for breakfast. Located in the direction of the meeting rooms.“

“Sad I figured out this place had great breakfast so late in my trip. They had me at Waffle Benedict ? The inside dining atmosphere is what you would expect for a hotel restaurant, but outside is way better. The staff is friendly and many of them have been working there for years!“

“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.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. My entrée my appetizer were out of this world, but my dessert was a little dry and subtle flavoring. The service was amazing very thoughtful and considerate overall, I will recommend Farm to anyone  visiting the area. Our server had a great knowledge and was able to recommend beverages that fit our meals perfectly“

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

“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.“

“Fun track but be aware because it's a short course there are a lot of beginners and high handicappers, therefore play can be slow. Course was in excellent condition. My husband had a hole in one on the first hole. No need for a warm up!“

“Excellent menu. I had avocado toast and the balsamic dressing was mind blowing, sooo good. Friends had the salad with strawberries and nuts and loved it. Service was quick, but I think our server was unhappy that day, didn’t offer a ton of smiles or warm conversation. I will definitely go back. Fries were also delicious and crispy.“

“Monse is by far the best server at any food establishment. . She's on top of everything.. she's the reason I go to Denny's in Thousand palms.“

“We had a delightful dinner several weeks back. They accommodated my friend’s dog. The food was well-made and quickly served. The waiter was attentive and helpful.“

“Great Breakfast & drinks.“

“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.“

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

“Good service and fast service friendly“

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“

“From start to finish, a perfect dinner for 2. Pomegranate Martini and Old Fashioned opened the festivities and were delightful. Oysters on the half shell deelish and the horsy and vinaigrette great compliment. Beef Carpaccio on the money with Arugula and sliced onions and the Veal Meatballs in comfort italian style gravy with Frittes outstanding. Our server Chip was gracious and knows his business. The busmen were perfect and made sure our waters were filled and plates cleared at the appropriate times. Thank you Zin!“

“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!“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

“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!“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“This place surprised me in the best way possible. I came for a casual lunch and ended up staying longer because the food was so good. The BBQ pulled pork sandwich was juicy and tender, and the coleslaw was fresh and tangy. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable.“

“I have had lunch at this restaurant before, so I made a reservation to meet a dear friend whom I haven’t seen for a while. The pool and deck area is going through a renovation so we had to eat inside. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! It was perfect for a great conversation and catching up with my friend. I highly recommend this restaurant/bar nested in the Avalon boutique hotel and bungalows.“
