The family running Papa’s BBQ is kind, generous, and masters of their craft. 10/10 recommend this place to anyone in the area. I got to try them at their popup at the Palm Springs Vintage Market in Palm Springs. Highly recommend.“

“They meat is good quality & delicious“

“I vacation in Palm Desert area, frequently, from Canada. We have eaten at this restaurant evey time we come down since it opened a couple of years ago. Last time 5 times in 2 weeks.

This is a fabulous restaurant, with excellent food, staff, atmosphere and prices. Their steaks are perfect, but their other offerings are really good too.

Last time down, they had lamb rack brought back for a limited time only, which was to die for. But this time down it was not on the menu. Alas. But what the heck. But bring it back again, "Eh"!!

This place gets busy fast at dinner time. So, tip, eh, would be to look on their web site, and see wait times, then book, so when you show up you know when abouts you will get in. And if you time it right, you will get right in when you arrive (or close). And avoid longer waits.

Would highly recommend this restaurant, not just for streaks, but for all the rest of chicken, seafood, etc. But bring the "Baaah" back please, eh.“

“This is a nice clean environment, the staff here are always accommodating and pleasant. On our first visit here I was hesitant because it seemed like a fast food environment and that wasn't what we wanted but the food is definitely of great quality and we have never been disappointed.

All of the items we have tried here have been great, the food has always been fresh and more than likely you will have leftovers. I love that Everytime the veggies are cooked perfectly, mushy vegetables are the worst. We have been visiting this place regularly for close to a year and have never had a bad meal or a negative experience.

Dietary restrictions: I am allergic to Onions and my Allergy is always taken seriously here.“
