“Best breakfast ever!!!!!! They took care of my gluten free needs. I couldn’t have toast but I got to taste the homemade jam. It was delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and the build your own omelette was amazing along with the country potatoes. They gave me sliced tomatoes instead of toast.“

“Delicious and great value fixed plate meal. However very very slow and uneven service Overcooked salmon sent back to kitchen and not replaced until other diners had finished eating. Will try once more to see if these problems are a one off . Fingers crossed.“

“Oooh where do I start. Firstly, the service is outstanding. 5 star all the way. The perfect margies really are perfect. I ordered their Classic Cheeseburger done well and it was amazing. Their crispy fries are well-seasoned (there's nothing worse than ill-seasoned or no-seasoned fries) and their ranch was fresh and tasty. Prices are reasonable. They're LGBTQ+ friendly and one of the only openly advertised locations in La Quinta who are. I can't wait to go back.“

“I usually go to the Palm Desert location, which I love, but decided to try the La Quinta location. It was awesome and the atmosphere was a little more cozy. I love their Napa Valley pizza and the green beans for an appy are always a good choice.

We have to give credit to Rick (who works there) that we unexpectedly met at a local grocery store the night before, who encouraged us to try the La Quinta location! ?“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“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.“

“My kind of place! Here in the desert, there are people from everywhere. And whatever team you follow, you can watch it here. Spacious, large place has many big screens. I especially love B&B for NFL Sundays. All the games & then lots of good beer brands on tap (and in case you gulp instead of sipping, the an extra large glass over a pint for your favorite suds). Full bar too. I gave five stars all across except for the food which I gave 4 of 5. It's very good bar food, but not great. If you go for the 10 am NFL games, I recommend the omelets. It can get a bit noisy for football, but in the 5 or six times I've been, the folks there are respectful and nice and I've never had a hard time finding a seat near a TV with my game. Lots of knowledgable friendly staff here. Now B&B is my desert sports place, forget about Beer Hunter and other dusty, dated old places.“

“I have been getting threatening texts from an old boyfriends brother who I haven't seen in 30 years. He accuses me of being the lover of Michelle Salvatore and says a lot of horrible things about her. I googled her and it brought me here. Then I see his review defending her honor calling himself Pastor David Spencer DeHoyos. WOW! Its like someone who steals from you then helps you look for what they took. Michell this is your rumor culprit. You must have turned him down before. Smart girl.“

“My wife and I are regular customers of the Red Robin in La Quinta, CA and we’re always pleased with the quality of the food and service.

While we do eat in-restaurant occasionally, most times we take out. The orders are always ready on time and accurate, and today was no exception.

Beyond that, I always ask for a duplicate receipt and they’re always accommodating. Today, Ken, who I believe was the manager on duty, personally got this duplicate receipt for me and made sure my order was correct.

We will continue to be loyal customers of this Red Robin location.“
