“A must go to spot when traveling to Joshua Tree, CA with friends or family. I've frequented this establishment numerous times, but never had the chance to leave a review. Recently stopped by for a quick drink with a coworker, after finishing a 3 day job in 29 Palms. This Saloon was on our way home. We grabbed the west coast IPA beer that is brewed in Coachella Valley. Definitely hit the spot after a long project. Sorry, forgot the exact IPA name, bar tender suggested we go with that particular IPA. Great choice!

Entrance is through the back. Follow the signs. You have to walk through the backside outside patio to enter the inside of the establishment.”

“This place is awesome and perfect for picking up food before or after hiking at Joshua tree! Yesterday I got the vegan breakfast burrito and it was so yum. Today I got vegan pesto pasta salad and a container of vegan choc chip cookies. They also have some good snacks and drinks. Def recommend checking it out! Updated from previous review on 2026-03-30”

“We again tried Royal Thai in Joshua Tree, new management.

I have fairly extreme problems with any ethnic food not designed vegetarian…and while they did not have any meals meals designated vegan or vegetarian, after the explanation that after 55 years, my body could not handle “oyster sauce” or anything animal.
Believing that I was ordering “incredibly bland”, asking for my mixed vegetables only with “garlic and ginger”…they offered “salt”.

I asked for no salt as well.

It was not busy and the kitchen agreed…

My meal was FABULOUS…the produce used was fresh and flavorful, and the meal was incredibly NOT salty…so I could taste the robust flavors.

My wife, not vegetarian also ordered mixed vegetables…normal…and added shrimp…and her verdict was the shrimp tasted as fresh as any quality shrimp she has had in CA.

Hint: their levels of “spicy hot” may exceed your levels of comfort…order and amend to taste.

We are delighted that we do not need to drive to Palm Springs for Thai…less than 2 miles from us.

(The server was polite and sweet…as you would expect for Thai)”

“It took 4 years for them to be able to open this restaurant, so much bureaucracy and red tape, it’s a miracle it exists. It’s not easy to run + open a restaurant in JT. I for one am grateful for a new food option here in Joshua Tree, thank you to the owners for the time and energy you put into getting this restaurant off the ground. I’m sure it’s going to become a Joshua tree staple.”

“Great beer and people😃. They also have games on the tables and there are rotating food trucks.”

“Good food for a decent price. Very fast service, the carne asada fries is a must.”

“We were just passing through and stopped to photograph the Joshua tree in front. Never pass up a chance for good bread. The baker was out of bread but very sweetly gave us 2 brioche buns he had left even though they were closed! These folks are kind, and lovely and you should definitely try their bread. It was delicious.”

“Finally made it happen and had the most delicious organic lunch here, for the first time. Wonderfully eclectic & interesting crowd of diners. We had a table for 2 people and a dog within about 10 minutes on a Saturday. The service so friendly and helpful, we were offered drinks while we waited. A welcoming environment & great energy. Nice people, the owner herself and all who work there. Wonderful & cozy chic seating outside. Lots of well mannered dogs making the ambiance even that much more pleasing. This place has very talented & creative chefs. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Great service throughout meal. My hubby had the steak with grilled peppers while I had the most delicious Salmon Salad which was prepared with love & each ingredient such excellent quality. I think we were told our beef came from free range organic farm in Australia. The water they serve is from a local aquaphore and tastes excellent. If I remember correctly our desert was toasted parents with raspberries & a glaze that was uniquely tasty. We will definitely be back to this gem.”

“Phenomenal atmosphere, live jazz every Sunday. The perfect spot for a date night and the design of the entire place is incredible.”

“I had the pleasure of eating here a week ago. The restaurant is the cleanest restaurant I've been in, even in the restroom. The plants and decor sets a vibe. Susan and her son made me feel so welcome. They allowed me to try different things, and Susan even gave me sushi to take with me. The food was fresh. Everything super tasty. I have no complaints and recommend this place to everyone. You can tell they put a lot of thought and effort there. The love and energy are felt as soon as you walk through the door!”

“Just a note to folks using other avenues of APP orders. Direct phone line contact might be your best resort since it is a Rual area of the basin. So before frustration sets in and you miss a nourishing meal.. Make the CALL.... ☎️”
