“Stopped in for breakfast before heading back to the San Fernando Valley after a weekend in La Quinta and were glad we did.

This place definitely has the feel of a local favorite, which is always a good sign. There was a wait for indoor seating, but we were seated on the patio right away.

Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive throughout our meal. The breakfast menu had so many good options that choosing was the hardest part. I ordered the Country Breakfast with over-easy eggs and hash browns, while my husband went with the breakfast burrito.

The restaurant was busy, so there was a bit of a wait for our food, but it was completely understandable and the staff did a great job keeping our coffee and water topped off in the meantime.

When our meals arrived, we were surprised by the portion sizes—everything was huge and absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

If we lived locally, this would definitely become a regular breakfast spot. Highly recommended!“

“Angelica rocks her customer service! Every time we go there, we ask to be seated in her section, and Angelica waits on us as if we are family. If she's not training new wait staff, she sure should be.

Kristopher the manager backs up his staff in every way, which shows how he leads by example. I've worked with the public all my life, including waiting, and I know exceptional service when I experience it.

On top of all of this, the atmosphere and food are excellent.“

“Burgers and Beer is a cool spot I found nearby EOS. The place looked pretty big from the outside, so I asked my partner if she wanted to do an early dinner. I noticed they have daily specials, but be mindful that they usually serve from 11-3, and after that, the happy hour menu takes over till 6.
We originally came for the tuesday burger deal, but we arrived after 3, we still ordered a burger and decided to try the machaca chimichangas from the HH menu. The service was great, thanks Javier. I really appreciated the variety, not just food and beers, but sports on TV too.
The only thing was that the bottom bun of the burger was very soggy, our server joked its gravity’s fault...
Maybe adding a crisp, dry lettuce layer underneath could help. Overall, great vibes and a fun place to chill and hang out.“

“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 husband and I decided to stop in to Red Robin in La Quinta about 2 weeks ago since we have not been there for many years due to our diet. We had a great experience with our server, Edwin. He was the best....on top of everything and more!! We were craving your onion rings and hamburgers, which we do not eat very often....so it was treat. We had to share both items due to our small appetites. We were impressed with how the split was done - different from other restaurants and thanked Edwin as well. It truly made us feel special and with the follow-up and service Edwin provided, we will return more often, and, coming back next week with friends. Thank you!!
