18 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 🍔.“

“Food was ok nothing out of this world. I wasn’t impressed with the food we ordered. You can definitely get a better burger at other local restaurants for half the price and better taste. We spent almost $60 for two fast food meals. Plus they asked for a tip even though we used the self service kiosk.“

“Great burger and French fries“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Our new neighbors, Cahparritos Grill treated us to an outstanding lunch today! Thank you. 10/10 would recommend.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by here for brunch while we were visiting Palm Springs, and we were both very pleased with our experience here! We were welcomed in by Steve who come to find out is the owner, and you can just tell how much he loves and cares for his job. He was very friendly, informative and attentive. Our server Salma was also quick to serve us, attentive and kind as well. They had a wide variety of food to choose from and the drinks were delicious, too. We will definitely be back in the future!! Thank you Steve and Salma!“

“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“

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

“This is the best Burger King in the entire desert If not ever. The employees are kind, and courteous, and their kitchen is clean. The manager there is always on the ball. Thank you for always being so efficient. I’m always able to go here on my lunch break and never have an issue getting back to work. -VB Rodeo “

“So I had two coupons I wanted to use, and the person at the front, Ivan, basically told me I forgot one of them was an online order.

He was real nice about it, gave me a cup for water and even let me order it online and told me about the free wifi (didn’t know about). He was cool and the food was good so I’m happy it all worked out!“

“Always hit or miss unless you go mid day but at the end of the day it’s just mcd’s lol. Everyone is super nice and friendly but again it’s mcd’s so don’t expect that much. The photo is a reference to the hit or miss aspect of this place“

“Fantastic Italian cuisine. Very authentic, lovely atmosphere and very, very good food. Check out the daily specials. We really enjoyed the work olive dish and the olive oil and balsamic for the fresh bread. The chicken picatta was tasty, though a full breast, not pounded thin as expected. Pasta was perfect al dente. Sauces were amazing. The special brisket torteloni was especially good.“

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