50 Best American Restaurants near North Palm Springs

“My favorite stop when driving to Arizona. I love there pancakes. Now I can get my favorite omelet and add pancakes for $2.00. I love their servers they really work as a team. Their cooks always make my food perfect.“

“I enjoyed a wonderful experience at Farm in Palm Springs for an early Mother's Day dinner. We had delightful three hour six course dinner in a magical setting with live music and delicious fare. PROS: The hostesses graciously greeted us and sat us a bit earlier than our reservation time. Had a nice table in one of the rooms with a fireplace and a large mirror. The saxophonist played and the sound poured in with great acoustics from the speakers. The amuse bouch had avocado, so I could not eat it, so my mom enjoyed all two. My dad could not eat solid foods due to mouth surgery. The bread course had warm fresh items and silky salty butter. The beet salad, melon salad, and corn soup provided earthy, tart, sweet, and creamy bites and tastes. The varied textures provided a kaleidescope of fresh tastes. The baked brie offered sweet and savory mixes of grilled bread, pear, and date spread! The lemon sorbet palate cleanser provided a balanced experience that did its job. The salmon entree provided an exquisitely pan fried crispy and juicy flaky fillet. The creamy dijon mustard sauce complimented the protein perfectly. The sweet peppers offered a wonderful crunch. The swiss chard added some bitter contrast to the garlic potatoes. The wonderfully bitter Citron crepe provided a nice end to a culinary cruise. Crystal took great photos in the garden. Gilbert was professional and affable. CONS: They asked me so many times for extra drinks. I had to prompt them multiple times to fill the water glasses and refills on tea and diet coke. They charged me full price for mashed potatoes, soup, and sorbet for my dad's meal. I get it. OVERALL: I highly recommend this restaurant for a magical evening meal inspired by Provence, France.“

“We always have a lovely time and an enjoyable meal at Bar Cecil. We celebrated my husband's birthday this time and had a fantastic meal. The halibut was the best halibut I have had in a while and the pavlova was just the perfect bite to share after dinner.“

“We had incredible dinner here, I think our favorite of Palm Springs! The ambience is incredible, such a peaceful, beautiful outdoor garden and very romantic. The food was so fresh and flavorful, and they were very accommodating for dietary requests (vegan). And to top it off, our server Gabe was so kind and knowledgeable and really made our whole experience perfect!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“Love this place, the quality of food is always great! It’s never been a let down, my family and I keep returning.“

“This restaurant is amazing. The servers are constantly coming around to make sure everything is okay.
The hostess was friendly and inviting. She made of feel like family.
The food is wonderfully pleasing to the eyes and tummy. The amount of food you get is enough to overstuffed anyone. The food I'd non greasy and so finger kicking good. We tried the stuffed hashbrowns, the Germany pancake, the cinnamon roll pancake combo, the rancher and how can forget the potato pancake. Omg! They were delicious. Just the right amount of meat and cheese. The cinnamon roll pancake was flaky and not to sweet. Very good. The biscuits were big enough to fit on the palm of your hands. They were flaky and soft not hard.
Definitely my favorite place to visit in Palm Springs. Will be coming back next time.“

“We were just driving around on a vacation ended up here at this Denny's its a nice place like the city and everything around it .

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience on Saturday, January 17. Our waitress was Marlene and so truly added to our evening! Kudos to Marlene! Loved the table lighting too“

“Went here to celebrate my son's graduation from college. We had a fantastic experience. We started off with some appetizers drinks. I had the avocado taco salad. The food was excellent. We all indulged in a mai tai, they were perfect. We can't wait to dine here again. The atmosphere was great, our server was very pleasant. The manager even came over to ask how everything was and asked if we needed anything.“

“Our 2nd time at Spencer’s, and it certainly won’t be the last. Service is extraordinary, the food exceptional, and the ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend it. I write for a local paper in Missouri -where I despair of the quality displayed by so many restaurants. No wonder I was eager to get back to Spencer’s on our recent trip to Palm Desert.“

“FARM is one of our favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. It never disappoints. From the moment you hit the host's stand to the minute you say goodbye you are treated like you are someone special! Our server, Chris, gave us some excellent recommendations and was a wonderful server! The live music is the cherry on top!“

“An amazing setting outside near the pool. Service was excellent! The food was delicious and uniquely presented and prepared. We had the sea bass and chicken mallard. Both were very good! The beet salad was so different but delicious. Had the coconut dessert for my birthday. A very wonderful way to celebrate my special day. You won't disappointed.“

“Awesome food 😋 👌 we enjoy it so much!“

“The ambience was very relaxing!“

“I saw Wilma & Frieda's on an episode of Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives...so I had to try it while I was in town. Watching the process of how W&F makes their housemade short ribs made my mouth water, and me want to take the 2 hour drive from San Diego...\n\n$21 Short Rib Melt Sandwich...Here it was! The short rib sandwich I saw on TV was now in my hands...and it was good. Just good. Not great. The flavors were good, the short rib was flavorful and tasty, but I wish there was more of it. Came with some nice crispy tots.\n\n$7 Blueberry Breakfast Tart...W&F's housemade "Pop Tart" pastry was a cute, whimsical, sweet, and lovely dessert pastry.\n\nGood food, not great, and bit pricy for the portion and quality. Maybe it was overhyped in my brain from the TV show...never meet your heroes?“

“Course is in great condition, very nice layout, great staff.“

“So I was seated immediately. The hostess and waiters were really quick and nice. The cooks were often not at the omelet counter, so people often waited a few minutes. The food was decent. The waffles and French toast were not too good, dry and overseasoned. The rest was good though. For a quick large meal, it was worth it.“

“Food is delicious and the presentation . The staff is great beautiful ambience .“

“I had an excellent meal. The food was very tasty and delicious. I enjoyed dinner and dessert. The service was excellent. The was friendly, curious and professional. Parking was adequate. I would like to return. I recommend this establishment.“

“The nitro cold brew was delightful.My wife and I weren't happy with the pastries. However, the staff were most friendly and graciously offered me a refund. I am quite satisfied with this, so five stars for good service, good vibes, good coffee!I'll return.“

“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.“

“Great Breakfast & drinks.“

“Okay I had really low expectations of this restaurant after reading some reviews but I had to dine here to use some F&B credit I had. It turned out to be a very satisfying meal!

I went on a Saturday noon. It’s quite empty just a few tables were occupied. I ordered steak salad ($25) and it was amazing!!! The steak was cooked to perfection and the salad portion was generous.

My partner got steak and fries )
($30) and it was delicious too. Fries were crispy I couldn’t stop eating lol.

Our waitress was also very welcoming (forgot her name but she had some tattoos on her arms).

Bloody Mary was just average so I don’t recommend it. Other than that I think this place deserves a solid 4.“

“Food and and service outstanding. Was there for dinner last night. Trio has undergone some great changes. I truly recommend it.“

“An absolute gem here in Palm Springs. Our Service experience was phenomenal, from the valet to our hostess, to our bartender to our server, Daniel and his Team, who took great care of us. We chose a tossed Caesar salad, an unbelievable Steak Diane prepared table side and an endless choice of desserts, of which we settled on Key Lime Pie. What a great evening!“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“Friendly and Welcoming small town atmosphere bar and grill. Great service, food and drinks. Due to both the bartenders who also take your order and serve you. And, their great cook!“

“Really great interior very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, great service with a great staff and really tasty menu! We’ve only had breakfast there, but it was really worth the stop!“

“great dbl cheeseburger and fries. unlike other places they leave you alone while you're eating. unless of course they see you putting ketchup on your burger ( right cory!) been a resident of the desert for 48 years, never been to George's before yesterday. I will be back.“

“UPDATE! They refunded the extra tip. Thank you for doing the right thing.

We recently had a goodbye dinner at Al Dente Trattoria for a couple from our snowbird park. There were nine of us, and overall the food was good. Everyone ordered full meals, and the service was acceptable, especially considering the restaurant was relatively empty.

Before dining, we had all requested separate checks. What we did not realize was that the restaurant automatically added a 20% gratuity for parties over six people. Three people in our group noticed this and did not add an additional tip. Unfortunately, three of us did not catch it and ended up tipping more than 20% on top of the already-added 20%.

The next morning, after realizing what had happened, I called the restaurant right away. I explained the situation politely and asked if they could remove the extra tip from my bill, as I had also left cash. I was only speaking for myself, not the rest of the group. The woman I spoke with was very pleasant and told me she would look into it and get back to me.

Unfortunately, I never heard back, and the charge went through unchanged. As a result, our waitress received approximately a 40% tip on three fairly large bills.

I fully understand that I should have noticed the automatic gratuity myself, and I take responsibility for that. However, once the restaurant was made aware that several guests had clearly made the same mistake, I had hoped they would show some goodwill and help resolve it. Since nothing was done and no follow-up was provided, I am rating this restaurant one star based on the way the situation was handled from an ethical and customer service standpoint.“

“Alyina provided excellent service. We enjoyed the double western cheeseburger with onionrings, carnivore pizza, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, and an Elderflower Gin Fizz. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere is light and airy... great find.“

“Best burger I’ve literally ever eaten!“

“Best Vegan organic breakfast in town!“

“We had Saturday night dinner annd everything was amazing. The kale salad was just perfect and the seafood pasta was so delicious! Our Waiter Chip had such a great personality and made our experience even better. We met the owner Mindy, who is also so kind. Everyone should experience Zin!“

“Great food and family feeling customer service.“

“Very delicious food! Super friendly“

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“
