“Awesome food, love the staff and the relaxed dive bar vibes, it's a comfy place to grab food and drinks. Try the bbq, burgers, and the jalapeno poppers! This location and the one up the hill in Morongo Valley have similar vibes but the DHS one is a bit of a bigger location. I wish they stayed open a bit later into the night, my only feedback.“

“From the time we walked in,Trina at the hostess desk makes you feel right at home! This place is so fun and laid back. The menu is wonderful and has a great variety of comforts! The drink menu is extensive and creative. Even has a Photo Booth inside! The 70’s music was rockin’ in the background…Just loved it. Telling Trina goodbye was the worst part. Their merch is super cute! Got myself a “bite me!” hat. Excellent time!“

“Update: it's okay now. They dropped the fry seasoning and now they taste like oil and salt; which is pretty gross. Not a very welcoming place.

Such amazing food! I love the food here and am super thankful to live so close! I hope they never change that fry seasoning because omg it's so good!!“

“Although I don’t exactly love dirty hippies, I absolutely love Pappy & Harriet’s!
As a local, I’ve been coming here for more than 30 years, and I’ve had the privilege of seeing countless incredible artists perform. We are extremely fortunate to have such an iconic live music venue in the desert.
The place is historic, a little rough around the edges, and exactly what you’d expect from a classic desert roadhouse. That’s part of its charm. That said, the management can sometimes come across as elitist, and operations aren’t always the most organized.
The bar always has a great atmosphere, and the barbecue is consistently delicious. If you only order one thing, make it the brisket. The sides are tasty as well, although the portions are on the small side.
If you’re attending a concert and planning to eat dinner, arrive at least a couple of hours before the show. I’ve shown up around 8:00 p.m. on more than one occasion only to be told they were no longer taking dinner orders—even though the kitchen doesn’t officially close until 9:30 p.m. Come on, people…it’s barbecue!
The good news is that over the past few years several restaurants and bars have opened just behind Pappy & Harriet’s along Mane Street. So if Pappy’s can’t feed you, simply walk down to the Red Dog Saloon (or one of the other nearby spots) and grab a bite before the music starts.
Despite its occasional frustrations, Pappy & Harriet’s remains one of my favorite venues anywhere. If you appreciate great live music, cold drinks, delicious California BBQ and authentic desert character, it’s a must-visit.“
