“We were out riding in Ocotillo Wells. On our way home we decided to eat and looked for a local place, which are few and far between. We were pleasantly surprised with Rancho86. We had some food allergies and asked for some changes. The owner was extremely gracious, made whatever changes we wanted and had a wonderful attitude. The food was great! (Chicken Fajita burritos, chicken quesadillas). If youre in the area make the effort to stop by and support this local business.“

“I've been coming here since I was 10 years old. The Oasis Burger is a good one . Great people Great service. Family owned and operated. Definitely need to come here if you haven't yet. The store is loaded with your cookout needs. Meat counter one of the best on the West! Come check it out!“

“This Pub is freaking amazing! This was my husband and my first time and we were both very impressed by the food and atmosphere. We both couldn’t stop looking at all the amazing memorabilia they have all over the place. The food was super delicious. I ordered the Chicken Avocado sandwich. The combination of the Gouda cheese and the spicy candy bacon was delicious! I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to see some live music here! My husband and I will definitely be back.“

“customer service was excellent, our servers name was Amanda she was very polite not only to us but she greeted all customers with a smile that would enter the restaurant Her customer service skills are great she was very attentive.“

“Loving coming here the food is always good and just an old dinner vibe! I always get the cheeseburger with avocado and bacon. One of the only thing that sucks is the pricing really doesn’t make sense single cheese burger avocado and bacon is 9.99 but with the double is five bucks more. Overall great experience and really good food!“

Happy hour and menu selections are fantastic. Calamari is well seasoned and fried to perfection. My mom loved the fresh fish and chips... Fries are fantastic. Dad's Cubano with the pulled pork is off the hook.

“After a long day at Coachella, we were looking for a good local spot outside the festival grounds—and Maxcy’s Grill hit the spot. It’s a solid, no-frills diner-style place that delivers exactly what you’d expect. The food was fresh, portions were generous, and the service was friendly. For what it is and where it is, Maxcy’s is a great choice if you’re in the area and want a satisfying meal without the crowds or high prices of the festival.“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“Consistently good food, in a great venue. Today we had wonderful service by Carrie. She took our order promptly, and was very pleasant and helpful. She offered some good suggestions about what to order, and which sides to get. Everything came out as ordered, and was delicious!“

“Excellent food and everything is delicious! Prices are good and portions are large. I highly recommend Sloan’s.“

“I love this Applebee's in Indio. The staff is so very courteous and friendly and the food is excellent. It has incredible aviance and you can watch sports on their many big screen televisions as well as take a date there. I highly recommend you visit this Applebee's. Thanks 👍“

“We were in from out of town looking for a sports bar and found this place. We got lucky with this one and ended up going 2 nights there. Don't let the name fool you, the Mexican dishes on the menu were outstanding and probably ended up being everyone's favorite items. Wings, Bills R.V. Nachos, Burgers, Enchiladas, Cobb Burger among the favorites. LOTS of TVs, Great Service and never a wait for us. Highly recommend.“

“I was visiting from Canada and celebrated the release of a debut music video at a place no more fitting than Big Rock! It was my first time here and I couldn’t believe how jaw-dropping the entire experience was. The glass-encased piano below my feet and the guitar-shaped door handles already had me grinning from ear-to-ear before I even stepped inside! The place got more magical as my eyes wandered in delight at all the musical wonders to look at throughout the well-used space - walls, floors, and even the ceilings were covered in signed guitars and incredible artwork. I tried their smash burger (subbed with a vegan patty) and it was delicious! I loved how it was served over tater tots instead of a bun, and its presentation was top-notch. What an exciting and memorable place! Thank you for running such an an awesome joint. Cheers!!“

“I’m a craft beer fanatic, so when you read my review please keep that in mind. Service was great, the pizza was really good, but there were no “real” craft beers. This is despite, claiming to have a brewery onsite. They do have three or four beers brewed there, but they were not that good. All of the others came from the big, mass produced breweries. Come for the food and atmosphere, but not for the beer.“

“I come here more for the ice cream than the casino, and honestly, the ice cream is the best! It’s not overly sweet, super smooth, melts perfectly in your mouth, and feels so clean that you don’t even get thirsty afterward. The portions are generous for the price, which is a huge plus. Today I also tried the nachos — not too salty, just perfect. Even if you’re not here for the casino, it’s worth stopping by just for the ice cream!“

“Their food is delicious. My Barbecue Pork Ribs melted off the bone with great flavor. My baked potato was perfectly soft, almost like mashed potatoes. My Chili cup was delicious as well.“

“When I’m this far up in LQ I always stop @ Ernie’s ! I had the BBQ Burger and Wings good food and great view !“

“The wonton soup is excellent , the service is Better , plenty of parking“

“Each time I've passed through, the same young man has helped me. He's always helpful and kind.! The food is always prepared with care. This is the only fast food restaurant I will stop at for food on my way to and from Arizona. I LOVE this Arby's!!!“

“Server Jesus was great, very accommodating and helpful, going the extra mile, food was ok but needs major improvement to be back at the old days when flavor was great, food presentation in plate was made you eating even when you not hungry, some ingredients are missing even they are on the menu
Pancakes needs a major improvement they are not fluffy anymore they dry and burn, kitchen staff please follow IHOP food recipe don’t reinvent“
