Family Restaurants near Thousand Palms, CA

“When you walk in it seems like a fast food joint, but the food is more like a diner cafe and prepared fresh (though fast!) It was delicious. The French fries were hot right out of the fry basket. And perhaps the best part is the people. Everyone working there is super nice! Great service.“

“A wonderful addition to Palm Springs. We especially love that Bougainvillea is locally owned and family-run, which gives the restaurant a warm, personal feel.

The menu is creative and interesting, with a terrific blend of Italian, Mexican, and Latin influences. We started with the calamari, which was outstanding—unique, beautifully flavored, and unlike any version we’ve had before. My husband had the white Bolognese, and I had the al pastor pork chop. Both dishes were excellent and packed with flavor. The service was perfect.

From start to finish, everything was beautifully prepared and thoroughly enjoyable. It’s exciting to have such a great new restaurant here in Palm Springs. We will absolutely be back.“

“Pasta is a family favorite so we decided to go here for lunch. The food was delicious, maybe not the best Italian food we've ever had, but still quite good. Our server was excellent and attentive. The decor of the restaurant is very opulent, but not in a snobby way. The kids loved looking around and we even got seated in the trolley.“

“The only McDonald's with an Indoor Playground, perfect for this hot weather and he eats his favorite breakfast with his grandpa. Just wished they could keep it cooler but it doesn't bother him. He's more than happy to be there eating his favorite fries“
