Restaurants in Palm Springs

“The crepes here are like no other delicious and creative as well”

“Seriously the best experience in Palm Springs to date! Amazing food, Instagram worthy atmosphere and our server Desie made our experience perfect. We will be back!!!!”

“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend”

“Great place and awesome service and drinks”

“A great spot to nosh, have a cocktail, and people watch. Really nice outdoor patio with heaters in the winter, and misters in the summer. The flight of cocktails is a must.”

“This was such a cute spot. Stopped in for a quiet lunch on Sunday around 2:00 pm. Everywhere on the main drag was so busy and chaotic. The staff was welcoming and polite and food was great! Not too big or heavy for the heat. The interior atmosphere was beautiful too!”

“Great food and drinks..Relaxed vibe and atmosphere. Tacquitos Dorado and Tacos LA Paz were excellent...We'll be back!!!”

“Great food and great prices. It is a rare find to get good ethic food in Palm Springs. This is a great one.”

“The staff are friendly and helpful and it’s hard for me to pick a favorite sandwich or entree. That said, they make one of the best frosted brownies here I have ever had. Highly recommend the ziti, too, and the caprese sandwich.”

“Great sandwich and super friendly staff!”

“Went here for a last min dinner choice. We had to sit in the bar area. But it worked out well. Our wait staff was awesome and helpful. My husband's filet mignon was delicious. Especially paired with all the toppings it had. The outdoor seating looked nice, but it was too hot out to enjoy for us.”

“Outstanding food Outstanding Service.”

“The best Mexican food in town and service is phenomenal a must in Palm Springs to visit”

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.”

“Great place for brunch and drinks! Service and food were great. This is a small place, but very nice for 1-4. Live a little and upgrade your bourbon or other drink of choice. Also, a good place to share dishes. Something for everyone.”

“Although Michelin rated and very difficult to reserve, this restaurant has a laid-back casual vibe, a reasonably priced menu, and our server was so friendly and fun, doing a birthday shot with our celebrant and shared stories about celebrities who have eaten in the restaurant. I had the steak frites which was immaculately prepared, and their famous rolls lived up to their reputation.”

“Frisky Business’s byline—“Where Cats, Community, and Kindness Come Together”—truly encapsulates not only its business philosophy; but also what it is like to visit here. Whether it’s for a refreshing coffee drink and tasty pastry; spending some time playing with in-house cats (for a reasonable fee); or attending one of the special events, it’s always a fun and enjoyable experience. On top of that (and reflecting the values of “Mr and Mrs Frisky”), there is a “pay it forward” board where one can purchase a drink or cat visit for someone who might need some support; and a pantry box where cat food donations can be dropped off for those who can use it or who feed community cats. I recommend Frisky Business to my local friends; and it’s a must “to do” when visitors come to town. It’s a great place owned by great people.”

“Delicious food served by attentive wait staff in a beautiful restaurant. The German pancakes are a must try!

Dietary restrictions: I'm not able to eat beef or pork. They have a chicken apple sausage option for breakfast!”

“Great staff! Really responsive! Fun atmosphere”

“Had the most wonderful experience with Freddie. The food, service, and company was outstanding.”

“My daughter’s favorite restaurant and a must for each visit to Palm Springs. Consistently good.”

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!”

“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Mon Amour Cafe on our interview date. Do you have an affinity for crepes? Do you like getting a bang for your buck? Well, Westwood’s Mon Amour Cafe offers both and boy will you not be disappointed. Nestled in the heavily populated neighborhood close to UCLA, this build your own crepe shop offers a variety of recipes to fit your mood. Whether you’re looking for something savory, or want to give into your sweet tooth like I was (in which I opted for the Nutella, strawberry, banana and ice cream infused Broxton), vistors of all ages and backgrounds will be able to find something to enjoy. But that’s not the best part! Mon Amour is open late Friday-Sunday, so you have plenty of opportunity to nab yourself a treat after a show at the Regency Village Theater or Geffen Playhouse Theater, a sporting event at the college, or let’s be honest, after a long night of partying.”

“Fabulous highly recommend.”

“I’ve been to this place before the remodel
And now I visited after and was so impressed

Get the bombas and shrimp gamb
I also heard the empanadas take 2 days to make so get those too

All in all a very positive and yummy experience and would highly recommend this spot for tapas, cocktails and shared plates”

“Great food and atmosphere”

“Miros is considered by most to be among the top five best restaurants in Palm Springs and with good reason. The atmosphere is warm and comfortably elegant, service is friendly and impeccable. Cuisine is exceptional with comfort food that is refined and clearly farm to table. Expect an absolutely wonderful dining experience every time. Whether dining in the lovely interior, dining room, or the starlit outdoor patio, service is always gracious and attentive. Special thanks and kudos to Alison behind bar for her omnipresent and delightful smile and exceptional service.”

“Can’t express my thanks enough for always serving such a wonderful dining experience. Had to stop in today on my trip from Los Angeles to Phoenix. Best detour ever. Never a bad meal!”

“We got food from this place today at lunch- they provide the food to Hair of the Dog pub. Burger and fries- especially good fries and quick service. Also got the Greek salad directly from them and brought to the bar. Excellent- fresh. So we went back to pick up dinner. Chicken shawarma platter and extra hummus and pita, and baklava. All excellent with authentic flavor. We especially loved the rice and the hummus. Highly recommend. Not much seating in the place- good for take-out.”

“Staff is amazing, food and drinks are delicious, you can bring your fur-babies, you're not sitting on top of each other, the vibe is relaxing with great music playing in the background, but not too loudly. We had a fantastic time!”

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.”

“The best cocktails around! We started our night here every night! Their old fashioned is so perfect and the sewing machine stamped ice cube is such a cool touch! Bartenders are friendly and polite and the glassware is so sexy! Didn’t have any food but everything that went by looked amazing! Definitely trying a meal next time we are here!”

“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!”

“One of the best restaurants in Palm Springs, which includes the weight staff, the service, and, of course, the food along with the ambience.”

“Great service, great food, our bartender Ilda was amazing! highly recommend”

“Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you for seating me in a very nice spot for my birthday. Thank you for the birthday ice cream after my meal. The food was delicious. The bread was yummy. The wine was exquisite. The waiter was wonderful. The owners make you feel welcomed and part of the family. I will definitely be returning and this was my third time being here. Thank you 😊 🏆🏆🏆🏆💕💕💕💕☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️”

“Johannes never fails; 15+ going and I keep going back. Fantastic schnitzel, cannot go wrong.”

“They made my mother's day event 🎉 a blast very helpful and friendly staff,I definitely plan on returning!!!”

“A wonderful wonderful evening - Chris helped us make a reservation that could work for our party and Ethan, our server was so amazing with his recommendations, delicious cocktails and his lovely demeanour. We had the best time at this beautiful spot.”

“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.”

“This is our go to place for a nice glass of wine and snacks. We always sit outside as we have a dog but it is beautifully lit, great mountain views, you can still hear the music and the service is fab.”

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.”

“Absolutely delicious! We went to Bongo Johnny’s for the first time, and we will definitely be going back! The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was so tasty! It is funny but the atmosphere seems very casual, but the food is something you would expect from a fine dining experience. Thankfully the prices were pretty reasonable! And to top it all off, the music was the best! When we were there they were playing 80s music and we just loved it! Bongo Johnny’s is a must if you haven’t been there yet. You won’t be disappointed! 😋😋😋”

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.”

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.”

“Good service and fast service friendly”

“Location:Good. parking:Good, Covid 19 practices: in place ( no gaters or other face coverings accepted but basic earstrap) Food for Price:Okay, Overall: For a first time try I did like the meal served. I thought the price was fine for what you get. I would come back again to try other items on the menu....”

“Good location and fast service!

Vegetarian options: There aren’t any

Dietary restrictions: None

Parking: Plenty of it!

Kid-friendliness: It’s kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s accessible”

“The food is absolutely delicious! Pretty basic restaurant with a friendly staff. Authentic affordable Mexican food. Highly recommended. I enjoyed so much the carne asada dish that I had it twice in a row.”

“Food was great. Especially for late night having picked up a friend at the airport who had a delayed flight. Service was great. Not the most modern of digs. Was clean but showed some wear.”

“Food is always made to order and fresh ingredients.

Vegetarian options: It's a mexican restaurant so while they do offer some vegetarian selection, don't expect and youll be fine.

Parking: The lot is not huge but I've never had an issue finding a parking spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, just please ensure they are not running around the camp sites alone

Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is fully accessible, including the reataur”

“i usually never review anything but the girls in the morning here were so sweet ? its rare to get good customer service at a mcdonalds because theyre always so busy. But they were literally soooo nice to everyone, greeting, accommodating. Super refreshing to see ?”

“So good. The self service kiosks at this location make it even easier and faster to order without waiting in a line. Everyone is friendly, food is DELICIOUS!! Only "complaint" is the beans are so fresh and hot, you will burn the roof of your mouth if you eat too fast. So slow down and enjoy the del. I also wish that you would bring back the Beyond Meat options, but I love you for your veggie options as it is”

“Friendly stuff and not crowded . Food is good also . Buck under menu is great”

“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.”

“The food was great, especially the arepas. The service was even better. The employees were so attentive and kind making sure everyone has all they needed. Prices were fair and overall a great value.”

“A favorite! The ladies are so patient while the boys make all-important donut decisions. I had a nice breakfast sandwich. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and everyone seems like a regular. The staff always says "See you tomorrow!" With good reason. You'll want to go back!”

“If you’re looking for some great Mexican food, this is the place to try! The atmosphere is amazing, the food is even better, and the service is excellent!”

“best traditional taco salad I've had! fresh ingredients and everything tasted so good! definitely will come back on my next trip! it was the best food I had my 6 days here!”

“Any other visit has usually been five stars. My family comes here almost every time we drive through Palm Springs. The gelato is always delicious, but today the freezer must not have been cold enough, and it was only about 70 degrees at night. The gelato was slightly melted on the first bite.
We have tried the dark chocolate, regular chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, pistachio, torta paradizo, salted caramel, hazelnut, chocolate chip (I forgot the Italian name for it) on our visits, so far. They are all winners in regard to flavor and texture.
Most people, especially foodies, would agree that this gelato is top notch!”

“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.”

“If you walk out of there not full. It’s your own fault. They serve you delicious food! But eat only half of your meal so you can save room for dessert.”

“Had a great first-time experience! John was friendly and welcoming and the special today, chicken curry, was delicious. I’ll be back to try more!”

“We decided to get our lunches for our Joshua Tree day trip here. I got the Aspen and wife got the Coachella. Excellent and well-balanced sandwiches. Love that they give a bit of potato salad and a pickle spear. They will also probably give you a sweet sample! The man behind the counter was engaging and made sure the customers were happy. Highly recommend.”

“Really enjoyed our visit. Good beverages and great staff. Thank you Joey”

“This is what a California Diner should be. John's is a throwback of years gone by in the most wonderful way. the way it smells, the way it looks- the food, the ordering counter, literally everything. John's is one of the most complete places to eat in Palm Springs”

“Friendly staff. Food for the soul.”

“in the heart of palm springs. Nice Patio and restaurant. Very good food. Nice and friendly server. very friendly owner.”

“We came for brunch and had the chicken avocado sandwich with a side of pesto fries. There was a wait at Cheeky's, which seems normal for a weekend morning. We sat on the patio, and while it was warm, that's to be expected at a desert restaurant.”

“I love Bread and Flours. I am so thankful I discovered them recently. Their bread and baked goods are made with love and attention. I am happy to support this business.”

“Finally a coffee house feel”

“Hoja Blanca offers the most creative and delicious foods. I’ve tried almost every item of the menu and I’ve never been disappointed. The shishitos and oyster tacos are amazing and I always have to order them. You all need to go check them out!”

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!”

“Please, please, please get the French toast here! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. BUT my friend had the Christmas enchiladas and we didn't like it at all. I think that that might just be a palate thing so I don't want to talk too much about that. Excellent service also. The lady at the front desk and the waitresses were so so kind and so patient. Wilma and Frieda's is an excellent choice for brunch at Palm Springs. Also, maybe because I was a tourist, it was a bit tricky for me to locate exactly where it was but overall it was a great experience. I'll give a my visit here a very strong 4.5/5.
Please note that this review is from my visit in late September 2024.”

“Delicious food and friendly staff”

“Huge shoutout to Chris for the amazing service!

I was on a mission to find the best acai bowl in town for my girlfriend, and this spot absolutely delivered! The food was fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor—exactly what we were looking for. Plus, the location is super easy to find, making it even better.

If you're craving a top-tier acai bowl, this is the place to go! Highly recommend checking it out!”

“amazing food friendly attentive staff”

“Delicious Romesco Benedict with shrimp and avocado! Nice place inside and out on a lovely shady side street (La Plaza).”

“I have no idea how this restaurant doesn’t have incredible reviews! This was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. I had the Punch cocktail and the steak and egg bowl and WOW were they both delicious!!! If I could give this place more then 5 stars I would.”

“Met Joe and the ribs were FINGER LICKING GOOD!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤”

“Soooo yummy 😋 Best burger 🍔 in a very long time and the Cajun fries 🍟 are bomb 💣”

“The evening started off very questionable. I am not sure if our server was " in the weeds" or not but we were waiting about 10 minutes for water once we were seated. Other servers tried helping us out which was appreciated. We ordered an appetizer but it came in the middle of the dinner options we ordered. We were seated outside which was fine. We asked for a heater near us to be turned on as many on the patio were. We were told they couldn't because of the wind which seemed odd since all of the other heater were on. In the end the food was great and will try the restaurant or again on a future visit.”

“I got the vegetarian yellow curry and thought it was very tasty and fresh — the vegetables were especially very fresh. The food was ready on time. The steamed mixed veggies were also great!”

“Nice place to have a few good eats too”

“If you’re 6ft and taller and rich, these are your people. It’s expensive and that keeps the riff raff out. A bunch of tech execs and a staff that’s trying to be a class above. When will they learn you don’t teach in front of the guest to place silverware down. You started reaching behind me then switched and almost wiped my nose placing my new fork down. But the best was Kelly explaining that Ruinart is famous for its Chardonnay grapes and that’s what drives this rose wine. And then states it’s 55% Pinot Noir. Table settings were nice, but please clean the tree dandruff. And no there’s no misters, so summer early evenings will be warm.”

“I was invited by friends to attend "Ho" for my Birthday. The atmosphere, talented singers and the food were awesome. If you can enjoy the moment and raucous behavior you will have a good time. I will definitely drive from Orange County to enjoy another event in 2024. So much fun!”

“Best place to eat!!!! Been going for twenty years my favorite restaurant.”

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine”

“#AmazingHotel #ParkerPalmSprings 🥰”

“Best cupcakes I've ever eaten!”

“Recommend to go there by the guys at the Drift Palm Springs, very happy they did too.

One of the best steaks I think I have ever had!

Service was great, relaxed atmosphere and immaculate food. Happy to recommend!”

“Shakes are OMG!! You must go here for a little indulgence.”

“Great record collection Super friendly staff live music monthly.. open mic night Fantastic atmosphere coffee food A Great place to hang...”

“Just brought home a delicious meal to enjoy after a rough day at work. Thanks to the staff for being there!”

“This is a very cute restaurant me and my sister were visiting from Arizona the owner was very attentive and friendly I had the torta carne asada very delicious with jalapeños. Great hideaway atmosphere on Palm canyon I would definitely be coming back. Thank you Mickey”

“Great pizza and great service”

“I totally enjoyed my recent and a previous dinner occasion at La Perlita. Service was friendly and efficient, from being greeted through departure after enjoying a delicious meal. Portions were just right in size, not too little or too much. I had the pollo asado and was very satisfied.”

“Love their Lavender Vanilla Latte ❤️”

“Burger & martini special all day long! This is a cute little spot that I’ll certainly be visiting anytime I’m in Palm Springs. The food was delicious (don’t skip the salad!) and the service was friendly. What more could you ask for from a burger joint?”

“Fun bar to try some great drinks”

“This place had a line and had to find out why. There are tons of unique and good flavours of ice cream. They also will convert any ice cream to a milkshake or add 1/3 toppings to your ice cream like Oreo’s, MnM’s. I turned the one I ordered into a milkshake and was so good walking downtown. The place is small and isn’t the fastest but worth the wait.”

“The friendly staff greets you with a smile and is happy to serve you one of their delicious beverages or treats. Service is fast and the dining room is very clean and comfortable.”

“Good fast lunch- great service - only issue, although they ask for proof of vaccinations, if you don’t have it they still let you dine in - defeats the whole point of asking!!”

“Great food and family feeling customer service.”

“The best Thai food in town !”

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids”

“Tge delivery was 40 minutes past the time they said. I can live with that but tge pizza was literally cold to the touch. No one answers their phone, no way to contact them at all. Pretty sucky experience while in vacation!”

“We order pizza from Palermo Pizza as most of the regular Italian restaurants were closed for August here in Palm Springs, CA. Madison and his daughter Sammi were great and the pizza was excellent. We shall be returning and hopefully the restaurant will be back serving inside soon! Thank you Matisse and Sammi for your great service.”

“I moved to Palm Springs in 1994, and in all these years I have always had great food and service! My best breakfast is the double dip cinnamon French toast! Debbie the owner is the best!”

“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.”

“Dustin is one of the nicest bartenders you will ever meet.”

“One of the better Italian restaurants I've been to. 9 of us all ordered something different and everything was excellent including the service. Friendly, efficient, loving family run business. Each of us will be back! Thank you ?”

“Definitely recommended! They sat us on the patio, and the atmosphere was great. Our servers were really helpful. We followed their recommendations and boy was that a good idea. The appetizer was cooked to perfection and lightly spiced. The dinner was even better. The spicing built upon the appetizer but a bit richer and more complex. Combined with the drinks, it was an exceptional meal. Each element built on the one before it. We’ll done gang, that was a great experience!”

“Had a great experience with Trypp's and their party bus last weekend, the driver and the phone staff were very help full and took good care of us. Thanks guys”

“This is one of the coolest bars anywhere. No signs. Just a heavy dark curtain covers the entrance from the adjoining steak house. Exceptional boutique cocktail bar. Wonderful libations and super service.”

“Want to thank and tip the sweet young server who waited on my friend and I on Sunday September 18 about 4pm. We had 2 glasses of delicious Prosecco that were filled to the top of the glass and he split the hamburger for us. He was great! Our plane suddenly boarded and we hurried and left. We did not leave the tip he deserved. The time on the check should read 5:39 pm. Please give me a number for Santa Rosa Kichen and Spirits so that I can fix this mess.”

“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.”

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at Cipolline in Palm Springs. Dawn was our waitress and did a very professional, kind and great job. The food was extremely good. We will return and will tell our friends.”

“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.”

“Friendly, great brunch selection, and excellent service!”

“We enjoyed chatting with the incredibly hospitable bartender. He gave us lots of recommendations about the area and background only a local would have. Good food, nice variety of dishes, no wait, very enjoyable for our group!”

“Recommend to go there by the guys at the Drift Palm Springs, very happy they did too.

One of the best steaks I think I have ever had!

Service was great, relaxed atmosphere and immaculate food. Happy to recommend!”

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

“Absolutely delicious! We went to Bongo Johnny’s for the first time, and we will definitely be going back! The staff was extremely friendly, and the food was so tasty! It is funny but the atmosphere seems very casual, but the food is something you would expect from a fine dining experience. Thankfully the prices were pretty reasonable! And to top it all off, the music was the best! When we were there they were playing 80s music and we just loved it! Bongo Johnny’s is a must if you haven’t been there yet. You won’t be disappointed! 😋😋😋”

“Wonderful Food and Service. Everything was Outstanding !”

“Mostly, we sit at the bar and enjoy their pizza, unless we're with a group of friends (which they'll happily accommodate). The food is great, the staff is lovely and the garden setting is a delight.

Vegetarian options: Lots of pasta and pizza options without meat!”

“Great food, wine and service. Fun attentive staff and a comfortable atmosphere.”

“Real nice Mexican food. Great ambiance. Good service. Pretty good food. I say this because one way I rank Mexican restaurants is as follows: a) the chips and salsa, b) refried beans and c) rice. Why? Because these are staples of most dishes and the quality matters. We have a variety of dishes. Two shown here are a mole dish and the other a taco/fish. We all enjoyed our lunch. Recommend it.”
