“We were visiting from out of town and looking for a great breakfast spot on our way out of town the last morning. Wow did we get lucky finding this place. We beat the Sunday rush so sat right down and the service was wonderful. Food was amazing and everyone was happy. We had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, ham steak (gigantic - split this), Country Breakfast and Pancake Sandwich! Everything was just excellent and we'll be back next time for sure.“

“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.“

The small pizzas are thin crust (our favorite) and we think their ceasar salad is also excellent. Service is always good and this visit it was also good. Food is always good and a great value too.“

“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.“

“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.“
