12 Best Burger Restaurants in Palm Desert

“Great service! The King Mushroom burger with 4 different mushrooms was the best! Will stop in when passing through Palm Springs.“

“We stopped by Goody’s on our way home from staying at the Westin in Rancho Mirage—it was only about a 6-minute drive from the hotel. I ordered the pancakes, my sister had the French toast, and my husband went for a double bacon cheeseburger. The clear winner was the French toast—my sister said it was the best she’s ever had and talked about it the entire drive home!

The food came out quickly, with the French toast arriving first. They do offer “fresh-squeezed” orange juice, but it’s pre-packaged in a plastic bottle, so don’t expect it to be freshly juiced on the spot. Prices were average and reasonable.

The pancakes were fine but nothing special, while the burger was solid. Overall, we’d definitely recommend Goody’s and would go back again for a quick breakfast option. We chose the sit-down service instead of the drive-thru, had no wait to order, and there was plenty of parking available.“

“Always great feeling after I eat here. Delicious burgers 🍔.“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“Great burger and French fries“

“We came on a pretty busy holiday weekend but we're super impressed. Everyone on staff worked hard to offer an exceptional experience to the guest, and that's exactly what we got. The food came out fast and everything tasted great. The drinks by Hunter awesome. Dana the manager was busy and still took time to greet us and make sure we were satisfied. We were, thus highly recommend this Islands for a casual, comfortable dining experience.“

“Clean and unique. Worth stopping for a bite. Good food and great service.“

“Stayed at nearby Courtyard and walked across to Applebee’s for lunch. Servers were friendly and sat us down quick. Food was big portioned and deserves a 3/5. Would suggest going to nearby JT’s diner for better tasting brunch/lunch options with fresh avocado“

“This place is my all time favorite restaurant to eat in the Coachella Valley. Buzz always has the best recommendations for beer, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is always fresh and tasty. We lived in Palm Desert for about 11 years and every time we’re back in town we make sure to come by here to grab a drink and some snacks. We love getting to see Buzz, he makes it the best place to eat!“

“God bless the hands that made my breakfast at Paradise Cove Cafe this morning. I have been eating at this restaurant for many years. It is consistently good. The wait staff is consistently pleasant attentive, and welcoming. But, the important thing about Paradise Cove Cafe is that they consistently make awesome blueberry pancakes.“

“Great Food! Excellent service, and in a wonderful location. I’ll be eating here regularly“

“Excellent as always! Wopper Jr. And onion rings cooked to perfection!“
