50 Best Burger Restaurants near Rancho Mirage

“I had to leave a review after I saw all the love Kobe was getting on here! I can’t believe he was able to work two shifts the same day THEN peddle all the way over to Indio to work the night shift! Still gave great service with a smile! To the manager - you gotta start paying Kobe better so he can trade in that schwinn and get a honda!“

“Bomb happy hour. But Hey La Quinta has Clamato“

“I went to this restaurant for the first time today. It was extremely busy. We were seated immediately and our waiter Sergio was very attentive to our requests. Mike, the manager was actively managing the flow of service. I was very impressed that he was working right along all of the servers!! I highly recommend this location and look forward to returning for a yummy meal!!!“

“Hamburgers are awesome I recommend this burgers“

“As a first time customer I was extremely impressed with the layout and the customer service from Maria was awesome. It is hard to find a good shake these days...CCC has them. The DUI FRIES will definitely have you wanting more...perfectly portioned.“

“It's a hotel restaurant so I don't think it should compare it to other high end places, but given that we thought the food was good although certainly a bit on the expensive side. Being family friendly with kids meals at a family resort makes it a decent balance of nice steaks and entrees that your kids can also eat at and not feel like it's too fancy.“

“Stopped in for a bit before a concert. Great venue and we will be back to view sporting events. They have the biggest screens I have ever seen. Three of us had drinks and appetizers. Potato skins were great and the pastrami reuben was great. We especially loved the wings and fries.“

“Nice meal before movie, service slowed, otherwise a good idea. Nice price.“

“First time at in and out will definitely be back“

“Juicylicious burger..one of a kind“

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

“Best burger I’ve literally ever eaten!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We knew that being sent to The Hey Day from TikTok was going to be good, but after checking out the mixed reviews, we weren't quite sure what to expect.
The restaurant is small, but the decor is vibrant and very Palm Springs. Plus, they offer parking in the back.
Now, for the highlight of this review. We tried the Smash Single, the Western Double, and an order of fries and onion rings. The burgers were packed with flavor and not as greasy as typical burgers. The onion rings were crispy and bursting with flavor. The fries were crispy and fresh—honestly, the perfect fries, with each one perfectly crispy and fluffy inside. The meat patties were excellent, with crispy edges but no burnt pieces. The bacon on the Western Burger was cooked to perfection.
This would definitely be a go-to place for us. Plus the staff was so so pleasant and felt very welcomed.“

“Best burgers in Palm Springs!“

“Staff is so helpful and fun to be with, the cocktails are wonderful and wine is lovely, and the food choices are incredible!“

“More basic than basic. No frills and unsusceptible but if you want diner style food without the diner vibe, this works. It reminded me of Goody’s for those locals reading this.

The food was pretty good, pricing is fair, yet the ambiance is blah. Praise to the service staff tho; they were awesome. Don’t hold your expectations too high but it was enjoyable but I probably won’t be back anytime soon. It wasn’t bad but there’s just other options down this stretch of road.“

“Great burger and French fries“

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

“great eats and great service“

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

“Great neighborhood hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant behind CVS on Vista Chino and Landau Blvd.“

“It's like being home sitting at our favorite table on the rail in Palm Springs. A people watching experience if ever there was. Oscar greeted us with a choice of waters, smiles and welcomed us back. Claudia was our server and as always a joy! She found our favorite wine, Willamette Pino Noir Estate and caught us up on the delicious changes in the menu. I started with the fatbastard oysters, mmm. We had the Wedge Salad, we should have split it, next time. Our Filet Mignon, asparagus and potato crouquettes were cooked to perfection. We then ended our meal with an amazing creme brulee.A quick hug from Chip who was busy as all get out. See you in the high season Zin.“

“Absolutely delicious food made with love. Portions are generous and tasty. I highly recommend for the best burgers in town and their amazing specials...you will return after you eat here!!!“

“The floors were sticky and strewn with trash and the tables were dirty when I arrived. I spent $40 for two people. I got a combo and my companion got a salad. My combo included a teriyaki grilled chicken sandwich which was pretty unsatisfactory, unfortunately. The chicken patty was extremely thin, and the ciabatta bun that the sandwich was on was very crusty and springy which made the contents of the sandwich (which were very drippy) spill out with each bite.

The service was excellent. People came out to sweep and mop and one of the workers cleaned the table for us. Everyone was friendly and attentive and even said goodbye to us as we left. The extremely good service is what buoyed my overall rating from what would have been a three-star up to a four-star.

I obviously haven't tried everything on the menu, and your mileage may vary with regard to the chicken sandwich. My companion really enjoyed the Santa Barbara Cobb Salad. I'd say this place is at least worth a try to see if the food matches with your preferences, because the service is certainly good.“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“I stopped in to grab some lunch and noticed they had one of my favorite dishes on their menu. Camarones Ala Diabla, so I thought I'd give it a try since everything I've ever ordered from this place has always been delicious. Well I was not disappointed, there were plenty of shrimp in a spicy red sauce, served with rice, beans and tortillas. The sauce was very tasty without overwhelming me. Definitely going back for this dish and so much more!“

“Go there. Everybody does.“

“My wife and I are regular customers of the Red Robin in La Quinta, CA and we’re always pleased with the quality of the food and service.

While we do eat in-restaurant occasionally, most times we take out. The orders are always ready on time and accurate, and today was no exception.

Beyond that, I always ask for a duplicate receipt and they’re always accommodating. Today, Ken, who I believe was the manager on duty, personally got this duplicate receipt for me and made sure my order was correct.

We will continue to be loyal customers of this Red Robin location.“

“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.“

“Outdoor dining only here Shady at 1-2pm“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“The pork chop dinner my mom loves. I had chicken strips and onion rights and they were really good and filling. I love the home made batter.

Dietary restrictions: Being a diabetic the food choices make it so much easier to eat a good meal at a decent price. You get what you pay for finally and it's a decent serving.“

“Every Friday afternoon, I come to this restaurant thru the drive-thru and the young lady Leonor who works there always has a beautiful smile and such a nice vibe overall. She makes sure I got enough napkins, condiments, correct drink, and meal. She is well-mannered and speaks politely. I enjoy going there, just for her service and atmosphere that she creates.“

“Great and quick service. Everytime I go the food taste fresh and hot. The young man at the front provides and amazing customer service always ending with a my pleasure makes me always want to return. The service is definitely one top notch in comparison to the other Carl's Jr establishments in the valley. The crew really make eating out an amazing experience.“

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

“the burgers.... are the best, your choice of toppings.“

“Yesterday me and my friends went to eat at Carl's junior. While we had went to other places none would accept our 100 dollar bill which is reasonable. This place was the only place that took it and we are so thankful for that. It was 10 almost 11 and they still had a positive attitude to serve us. The only thing that had me concerned was the car in the front parking lot, risky move there. Just kidding. This is one of the best carls junior in the valley. Keep up the good work and I would most definitely will be telling my friends and family to go to this carls junior.“

“Oooh where do I start. Firstly, the service is outstanding. 5 star all the way. The perfect margies really are perfect. I ordered their Classic Cheeseburger done well and it was amazing. Their crispy fries are well-seasoned (there's nothing worse than ill-seasoned or no-seasoned fries) and their ranch was fresh and tasty. Prices are reasonable. They're LGBTQ+ friendly and one of the only openly advertised locations in La Quinta who are. I can't wait to go back.“

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

“I have been getting threatening texts from an old boyfriends brother who I haven't seen in 30 years. He accuses me of being the lover of Michelle Salvatore and says a lot of horrible things about her. I googled her and it brought me here. Then I see his review defending her honor calling himself Pastor David Spencer DeHoyos. WOW! Its like someone who steals from you then helps you look for what they took. Michell this is your rumor culprit. You must have turned him down before. Smart girl.“

“The food is okay here. The people seemed nice enough. The burger meat tends to taste old. Usually when I eat at Jack in The box I'm happy there's a bunch of other stuff to cover up the taste of the meat.
I had the jumbo Jack with cheese and two tacos. Tacos were made correctly. The jumbo Jack had the same crappy meat but was put together correctly. Jack in the box does have the best onion rings and the jalapeno poppers are pretty good too.“

“This Burger 🍔 King is ok. It has the play gym for kids to play, ok Atmosphere, cool place to grab a meal.“

“This is a great place to relax and watch your favorite sports on the big screens while having a drink and a snack or a meal.
They require $30 minimum spending for every person at the table, though.
You will not be allowed to sit inside the sports bar area without buying food or drinks.
The food was decent, and prices were fair.
It’s a little noisy sometimes because the bar is open in the middle of the casino.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options on the menu“

“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“

“Great place for a fast/fresh teriyaki bowl. Small place, not so much a dine-in atmosphere place, but totally fine for grabbing a quick bite or taking to go. The chicken bowl portion was generous. Flavors were good and ingredients fresh. Might just pop back for lunch again today. 😊“

“I don’t usually write reviews, but after we visited the IHOP in Palm Springs last Friday, I had to shout out the absolute highlight of our trip, Rosario, our waitress. Simply put, she’s the best thing to ever happen to IHOP.

From the moment we sat down, Rosario made us feel like family. Her energy was warm, her smile genuine, and her attention to detail was incredible. She remembered all our names, joked with the kids, and made sure every single one of us felt taken care of, not just served. It’s rare to meet someone who can turn a simple breakfast outing into a core memory, but Rosario did exactly that.

She didn’t just take our order; she created an experience. Her kindness, humor, and professionalism were unmatched, and by the time we left, my entire family was talking about how she made our trip to Palm Springs even more special.

IHOP, you’re lucky to have her. We seriously hope to see her there again next time we visit. Thank you, Rosario, for being amazing!“
