American Restaurants near Thousand Palms

“Monse is by far the best server at any food establishment. . She's on top of everything.. she's the reason I go to Denny's in Thousand palms.“

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!“

“What a gorgeous, historical space with delicious food! We had delightful service from Caroline, she walked us through some local history about the building, the chef, and our food options. The food was timely, stunning, and delicious. I would highly recommend to stop and eat, but also pair with a stay at Sparrows Lodge.“

“Great food and a staple in our little artists/makers community. Junior is an amazing human, and this place is not to be missed. 10/10.“

“Love the matzoh ball soup and the #5“

“Watched the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and had a fabulous lunch.“

“Best breakfast ever!!!!!! They took care of my gluten free needs. I couldn’t have toast but I got to taste the homemade jam. It was delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and the build your own omelette was amazing along with the country potatoes. They gave me sliced tomatoes instead of toast.“

“Go there. Eat there. The Gluten Free bread option with my meat lover's scramble was tasty and better than most bland options. Our delightful server, Jennifer, said it was from a local bakery. Sat outside and were fully shaded from the sun. Nice relaxed atmosphere and even the bathroom was a relaxing space. Good way to end our weekend before heading back home. (Bonus: there's a Comic Book shop just across the parking lot).“

“This was the best Peruvian food hands down made by Peruvians so the taste was authentic with authentic ingredients. My wife and I met the chef and she’s so passionate about her food and was very friendly. Think it may have been family working there every one was so polite and friendly engaged in conversation about Peru. My wife and I had the lomo saltado and I had to get the ceviche con chicharron it was absolutely delicious. We usually make stops throughout the places we visit to try the Peruvian food and this is it. The ceviche was fresh and had all the authentic ingredients it’s like if we were sitting in Peru eating. This is going to be our go to spot when visiting the area.“

“So delicious so fun best birthday ever!“

“My friends and I had fantastic service from our waitress, Nadia. She was accommodating and helpful. She remembered every request and served us promptly. She has the sweetest personality! When it came time to pay our bill, Brandon was quick and kind. Great service today!“

“We were looking for some tasty breakfast at lunchtime and we found this place on Google with really high reviews so we decided to give it a try. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, close at 2, fyi.

When we walked in it gave off the old school diner vibe which we like! We were greeted right away and let them know we wanted take out. We sat at the bar and chatted with them while deciding what to order. Such friendly and accommodating staff! We are staying in a hotel so they made sure to provide us with all of the condiments and things we needed to take our meal back.

I ordered the Monte Cristo and it was divine! It was our favorite out of everything because it was packed with flavor and they were these cute little mini sandwich bites we could all share. My parents got the eggs and hash browns and really enjoyed a nice, simple home cooked meal. My daughter got the grilled cheese and fries and she thought the cheese was a bit too much, but otherwise she really enjoyed it.

They also had pies in a pie display and these awesome looking cinnamon rolls. We visit the desert often and will be adding this place to our regular rotation! Family friendly, lots of food options at an affordable price and free parking! We will take it! Check it out next time you are in Palm Desert!“

“Omg by far the best burgers and beers I have been too Kimberly was our server and she was great in every aspect thank you so much and shout out to the manager you have a great staff very welcoming and very attentive….. the food was so delicious“

“Great ambiance and the burger and the salmon salad is good“

“A Palm Desert Classic! A great bar and grill with high quality food and lively atmosphere. I had the most expensive Lamb Chops ever at $75! But they were magnificent! The prime rib is very tender and melts in your mouth. Expect to spend a couple of hundred bucks on a lovely meal. Next time I think I’ll try the ribs. I know those are only $44. Great place for special occasions and the bar is a great place for older seniors to pick up a date.“

“A fun place for breakfast. Nora was the best. Sadly, we will miss her and the restaurant.“

“Great food! Great atmosphere!“

“We had such amazing service today at this Denny's. Cenisa R is "THEE MOST AMAZING SERVER" She was so professional and on top of everything including refilling our drinks. Cenisa is a wonderful young lady, fantastic personality and service. Denny's should be very proud to have someone of this quality working for them. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“Everything is wonderful! I can’t wait to come back on my next trip.“

“This is my go to place for my business lunches. The menu lends itself to different types of people, while staying classy. If there's a foodie, they'll be pleased, but so will those that are vegan or gluten free. My guests will inevitably thank me for my thoughtfulness and sensitivity for choosing a place that addresses their preferences. C'mon, who doesn't appreciate that? So, good food, great service, the cache of the Ritz Carlton brand - I keep coming back!“

“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.“

“Great burger and French fries“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“This was our third time at the Purple Room and first time catching the Judy Show. Feels like stepping back in time to the supper club era. We really enjoyed the show, but full disclosure it’s geared towards an older crowd. Michael Holmes, the creator and star of the show, is great. There’s audience engagement and lots of humor.

The cocktails are fantastic and keeping with the overall ambiance. Service staff is top notch. Our group of four felt that the food wasn’t quite up to par tho. Could be because it’s early season and the kitchen may be getting its stride. Portions are generous. We shared a carrot cake slice for dessert and polished it off!

We are lucky to live near the Purple room and look forward to visiting again to check out other entertainers. It’s a special venue that’s unique to Palm Springs.“

“This us our go-to spot in Palm Desert. We have not been since Dec 2022 but are returning for Christmas and we cannot wait to visit!! We are bringing two friends that have never been! We cannot wait to meet the new owner and check out the vibe! Plus, of course, have the food and drinks which were always amazing.“

“Awesome food 😋 👌 we enjoy it so much!“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

“Great craft beer, Whiskey flights and best burger by far is the Fresno Fig Burger 🍔 Yum!“

“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.“

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

“Order up front like fast food, then they deliver to your booth. But it's not fast food, bro! HUGE menu. Delicious!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Parking was several spots away, with a pretty narrow piece of sidewalk to navigate. Things would have had to be moved to get through the women's bathroom door.“

“Had a fantastic dinner Friday nite and enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting Kerri the owner. E. Billy Thompson was singing and always brings couples to the dancing floor. Be sure to visit Nick’s Bistro at Date Palm CC open to the public.“

“We were visiting from out of state. They were kind enough to accommodate us to make a dish ( shrimp tacos instead of mahi-mahi) that wasn't on the menu currently.Only complaint, It was a little bit loud/ echoey We had a party of eight and it was hard to hear the far end of the table.“

“Great entertainment and fantastic service“

“Favorite local cafe with Live Bands and dancing under the stars. Eat outside shaded by pergola with views of mountains, greens, palm trees, fire pits - no traffic noise, no parking lots to stare at. Great lunch and happy hour with dinner on the weekend and holidays. Hidden Gem!“

“Domingo our server was excellent. Our food was really good. $360 not bad but we didn't need to spend an extra $20 on reservations a table outside. For 1st time guests like us if the temperature is 90° out just decide when you arrive if you want inside or outside. We reserved the table 1 week out not knowing. $20 for the table is respectable when necessary...“

“My visit was my three year anniversary with my girlfriend, immediately as we walked in we were greeted with warm welcomes and happy anniversary. The wait times were not bad despite it being a little busy, my girlfriend was so excited to try out the a45 wagyu and she loved it, my 45 day dry aged New York strip was also amazing. Our server was kind and provided lovely service. Throughout our dinner, we were provided complimentary drinks, small appetizers, and a small cake for us to enjoy after with a happy anniversary chocolate on it. I would absolutely recommend The Edge for any occasion, lovely establishment, good service, amazing food, and the ambiance was perfect for a calming date night“

“We have been to Boulevards 3 or 4 times for dinner, each time it was a great experience; service, food, and ambiance way above par...however, we had lunch for the first time a week ago this past Friday with 7 other people. While the service was good, the food was subpar...I had a professional LA Chef with us, who did not say a word, but neither he or his wife ate their lunches and I know them well enough to know they did not like it...I ordered chili, it was not very good and was luke warm, but the server took it immediately and warmed it. My partner ordered a club sandwich, it too was subpar, and another friend also ordered chili and felt as I did. While the others in the party were grandkids, the one salad looked like a bowl filled with lettuce thrown together, and not much thought at that, one had a sandwich and I looked at that, it too looked awful, and my one grandson said his lunch was good...I do not remember what he had. For a place that has no kids menu and prices are steep, everything should be served professionally. ALSO...I was in the restaurant business in LA and NYC for over 25 years and it is 2024 and time for Boulevards to have a voice mail instead of a message that askes the customer to call back when they cant answer the phone as they "are serving other customers" The customer should not have to keep calling back. By the way, I just called to make reservations for this coming Tues nite, 4 times over a 15 - 20 minute period, and each time I got this same message. We really like Boulevards for dinner, but as with all restaurants, and included my own, there is always room for improvement!“

“Amazing experience even though we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves while we were there. So grateful to Mike and his team for their next level superior service, delicious food, incredible empathy and generosity. Thank you! We will be back with much more to contribute the next time. :). Thank you to the entire lovely team here.“

“I had the pleasure of visiting Canyons this evening.The Kobe burger was a great option-the burger ? is tasty, piled high with all of the fixings and a bun with sauce!The pretzel bread - my first time ever trying that - was warm, soft, and tasted jut like a pretzel!“

“While staying here we went to the main pool and enjoyed the water to include the lunch that was available. Sometimes we split the lunch between us and some time got individual for partial take back to lodging Great place to stay, food was presented and tasted very good. Service was excellent and you have a full service bar here also. They also serve poolside food and drinks“

“This is a great place to eat lunch while in The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens. We got the (2) Piece Chicken Tender meal which was really great. I thought I was going to get just the chicken, but it came with garlic bread, plus very tasty French fries. Much more food than I expected. Plus, the chicken was the best tenders I've tasted in a long while and huge pieces. the squirrel also enjoyed the food :-) Good pricing and food, I would recommend.“

“Woodhaven has a band Hotwyre who is the best band. Love their tune & set list. Lots of dancing to iconic rock n roll!“

“My husband and I stayed at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in Palm Desert. We were there for 3 nights and 4 days. It was more than I expected. The breakfast was great, you actually had real breakfast items. Not just a continental breakfast. The 5:30 to 7:30 free drinks was awesome! And the dinner was great!“

“The nitro cold brew was delightful.My wife and I weren't happy with the pastries. However, the staff were most friendly and graciously offered me a refund. I am quite satisfied with this, so five stars for good service, good vibes, good coffee!I'll return.“

“I was just invited for my Birthday Afternoon Tea Celebration at this wonderful venue! Everything was perfect..The food, the atmosphere, the staff and Willie himself! The attention to detail was much appreciated. Lovely tea service, the live harp music, beautifully presented food. Our waiter made sure our yummy Vanilla Earl Grey Tea was always refreshed and hot. Highly recommend this cool and elegant restaurant! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“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.“
