10 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Indio

“I have been there a few times, and every time the food has been delicious. I've had the ribs, hot wings and tri tip. All were very flavorful. There is a nice variety of sides, I usually order the Cole slaw. It is crisp and not overdressed
The restaurant is clean and the decor is simple. Service is great. I'll keep coming back“

“No they don’t serve Jackalope at Jackalope Ranch but they do have some of the best BBQ Ribs I’ve ever had. Potent potables with tasty brews and a really delicious Old Fashioned that pared nicely with the Tri-tip chimichurri. The ribs are cooked for four hours and are not too sweet or too smoky. Great atmosphere to eat outside at night in the patio surrounded by waterfalls and the cool desert air. If you don’t like kids playing in the grass while you’re trying to eat your barbecue, ask to be seated further away.

Kid-friendliness: May be a bit too noisy because of kids playing out in the patio but if you like kids, it won’t be bad for you“

“friendly and welcoming staff“

“Homemade everything. Delicious fall-off-the-bone ribs with a perfect bbq taste and a professional grade bark. 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.“

“Very Delicious! I will definitely eat there again 🤤“

“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.“

“The $100 family pack is a bargain. The BBQ is the best in the Coachella Valley without a doubt.“

“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.“
