Restaurants in Twentynine Palms

“In the middle of Joshua Tree National Park. Toilet available. No connections whatsoever. No cell phone reception. It's best to book in advance. All places were occupied. Good privacy. All places close together and yet separated by bushes. Very nicely laid out. Table and fire pit/grill available.”

“Last minute recommendation from a park ranger. We weren’t particularly creative with 2 sqrl burgers but were very pleased. Would come back.”

“i was very pleased with the service and the food was done perfect couldnt have asked for anything better .. thats in owen sound”

“Kipp is a wonderful bartender. Attentive, fast response. So professional, he had a complete ahole at the bar, but he was always with a smile and trying to help to annoying man. His drinks are amazing as is his personality. Always a pleasure when I see Kipp as the bartender.”

“Great atmosphere, great people, great talent & great times!”

“Absolutely the best barbecue. We drive 1.5 hours to this great place. My husband has been coming here for 50 years and never been disappointed. I start with Jalapeños and go on from there. Steaks are cut on site and chicken dishes are great as is the salmon.”

“Our first time in couldn't have been better! Our service was phenomenal and everyone was so friendly. I have the Bacon Ranch Chicken sandwich and french fries, both were so tast. It was a great place to relax and unwind. There even appeared to be a BBQ truck on site too, I would love to know the times of that to try it. The icing on the cake was that we were able to eat on the patio with our pup, our amazing waitress offered him water and even a puppy patty. Even if you don't drink, you won't regret stopping by this place for a bite to eat! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5”

“I love this place. She is such a nice lady and makes the best carne asada burritos ever! Every time I go I think I'm going to try something new but I just end up getting the same thing. Loaded with meat and all kinds of delicious burrito stuff. Can't recommend this place enough!”

“We loved this place so much that after we had lunch here on day 1 we also went for dinner and then for coffee too the next day. Everything we had was excellent and the vibes were top tier. Definitely go!”

“I had a shrimp burrito and it was truly one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The rest of the family was also super happy with their dishes. Highly recommend!”

“Good food highly recommend💯🤗”

“Maximilianos’s is AMAZING! While, visiting the JT National Park, we stayed in 29 Palms. We were craving Mexican food and this restaurant was highly recommended. The food was 100% authentic and the charm of the restaurant with great customer service really made for an enjoyable experience! We definitely will be back!!”

“I came to visit my family. I live In Colton California. My family member recommended we try the food here. I am so glad she did. The food was fresh, made to order, and so delicious. I definitely recommend this place. Yes. We will definitely make this a to go place when visiting 29 palms again.”

“Always good food and good service. It's an older place attached to a bowling alley. I think they're doing the best with what they've got.

“The service is excellent and the food delicious. I love their chicken satee and pineapple fried rice! 😋”

“I can’t resist coming every week to find out what deliciousness they have created for their customers. They never disappoint. Everything they make is absolutely wonderful from the baked goods to the soups to the salads and pizza. I love me some Campbell Hill.”

“Hole in a wall and a gem to have in 29palms. I have heard from friends how cute the inside was and the customer service. I believe all of it now. I ordered their strawberry poppy seed scone and it was yummy. I’ll definitely come back & I highly recommend for groups or to-go orders. Really nice vibe here.”

“We went there for breakfast as the hotel didn't offer any.
Google and locals recommended this cafe for breakfast.

The staff was completely accommodating and friendly.

The breakfast itself was very good, value for money was right.

The atmosphere is more like a canteen.”

“The bar tenders are awesome 💯”

“Lol, some dude really compared this place to Castaneda. SMH. Not the greatest in the world, but you're not going to find real asada as in actually grilled for $3 a taco anywhere else in California. Anywhere else you're paying $5.”

“My husband told me to try this place for lunch & it was worth every penny!”

“Had Rocky’s tonight for the first time since the reopening. My husband and I ate at Rocky’s OFTEN…..and we loved Carmin and Bruce…..But I’m happy today that we were definitely pleased with our dinner tonight! 🍕💜🍕. The new Rocky’s did not disappoint. 🍕🍕🍕😁”

“Always friendly here. I’ve never had a roll I disliked. Ramen is also pretty good. I usually come back for both when I want something in 29 out of the norm. Service can sometimes take a while due to staff shortage and the restroom has always had a funky smell. I wouldn’t recommend the table closest to restroom. Will come back !”

“Excellent food, the fried shrimp are perfect! The red beans and rice I didn't like too sweet..shouldn't be. The catfish need to be cut into smaller stripes, the grey area of the catfish filet needs to be trimmed out of the raw filet during prep otherwise it tastes muddy. Just FYI from a southerner who owns catfish farms.”

“The food is decent but overpriced and every once in a while I have been served bad food. E.g, I had the buffalo chicken salad and one of the chicken strips was too tough to eat and discolored. The other strip was fine and my friend’s buffalo chicken wrap was also fine. The daily specials are also pretty good and it doesn’t usually take too long to get your food. If you’re around, it’s a good place to check out.”

“had another great dinner from here always good 👍”

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰”

“Fresh and wholesome dishes with a Caribbean flare! Don’t be swayed by any negative reviews, because we left incredible satisfied and impressed by the chefs flavor pairings! Kudos to Ellie, our server!”

“The food is always delicious. Drinks are responsible price. Feels like family. Specials daily. 3 Mini Tacos and a drink for $7.95. Very good value and they were delicious!!! Quesadilla was made right. Recommend for all!”

“So it took way too long to get our pizzas. I was told 30-40 minutes delivery time and it was an hour and 15 minutes until we finally got ours. I'm giving it a 5 star due to the fact when I called the second time the manager having good customer service and the driver was also polite and apologetic.”

“Great room, but they need to change the brand of whatever they're cleaning the bathrooms with.. they smell horrible. Had to ask for air freshener

Rooms: Stinky bathrooms”

“We’ve eaten good food here many times and although one week it wasn’t as good as usual you have to expect imperfection from the restaurants in a small town. Usually it’s been great and far tastier than many of the other Mexican takeout establishments here. Fresh home made salsa if you order chips. Crispy tacos and taquitos are yummy. Guacamole isn’t “green sour cream” like some places. They’ll change the TV channel if you’re not happy with what’s playing.”

“Always fast and hot”

“A good club salad ever!!!! Good egg roll and good service!”

“Someone actually paid for mine so I paid for the person behind me what a world huh”

“It was a tale as old as time. I was in the ER, getting my stomach pumped, thinking about life. Reminiscing about the times I had in the past week, I realized…my life would never be the same. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start from the very beginning. It was a sunny day in March, and my friends and I were cruising down the road, nursing hangovers from Vegas, when we stumbled upon the town of Twentynine Palms. Buildings materialized out of the desert, a hint of civilization after endless desert. Craving some familiarity in a strange place, we searched for some mexican food. The first name popped up on google maps, and we set our course for Edchada’s Taqueria, blissfully unaware of what was to come. We pulled into the parking lot, and were greeted with a 21+ sign, the first warning that this establishment might not be what we expected. Tentatively, we opened the door, and took in the sight of a dingy bar. Several older men, with a look in their eyes that indicated they saw things in the war they couldn’t unsee, sat at the bar. A host materialized from the shadows, and we told him we were ordering to go. He seemed immediately displeased, but nonetheless, he gave us menus and waited, always keeping one eye on us as if we were going to steal a chimichanga when he wasn’t looking. After perusing the menu, we eyed each other before steve finally got up from his seat and approached the host. “Can I place an order?” he asked. In a tone dripping with disdain, the host responded “yeah⁉️” Slightly taken aback, steve proceeded to order. With a powerful sigh, the host beckoned for the next order. We went up one by one, tentatively placing our orders. We then sat back down, awaiting our food…and our fate. Finally, the first order came out. What seemed at first glance to be a simple carnitas burrito and a quesadilla would spell our doom. Steve went to grab his food, but I realized it was my order. I went to grab the bag, but as I lifted it the host erupted. “NO NO NO NO NO” he screamed. “you just lost half your meal” he growled at me. Terrified, I was frozen in my spot as he examined the contents of the bag. Luckily, the food was intact. Shaken from the encounter, I sat back down, wondering what else would happen as the orders came out. Surprisingly, the rest of the food came out without a hitch, and we breathed a sigh of relief as we thanked the host and started leaving. “Call your parents. Tell them you’re alive. Be safe out there.” The warning echoed in our minds as we departed. Little did we know that the omens would come true. We returned to the hotel, our skepticism outweighed by our hunger. I decided to try the quesadilla first. I opened the box and was greeted by what could only be described as strings of raw beef, as if someone grated a cow into my quesadilla. Nevertheless, I was hungry, and so I dug in. The first warning sign came later, as we were leaving to watch the sunset. My stomach grumbled and I started to feel off, but this was only the calm before the storm. As we drove back to the hotel, I started feeling dizzy. I concentrated on the road, but my stomach started making noises I had only heard once before, from my $20 target blender. Lia stepped on the gas, and I found myself lying on the hotel bed. I drank some water, and for a second, I felt some relief, but suddenly I was slipping away. The voices around me got quieter, and the room got smaller, smaller, and smaller, before it faded to black. I came to with a bright light in my face, and a masked face above me. I was confused for a moment, before I realized it was the hospital. The doctor asked with a kind voice if I was ok, before explaining that my stomach needed to be pumped. It was painful, but I got through it, and after some rest, was cleared to leave. We passed hundreds of doors, all seemingly filled with poor souls having their stomachs pumped. Ok the way out, we passed the receptionist, who bid us farewell. I looked back, and the wing of the hospital had a small plaque on the wall. I squinted, and as I read it, my stomach dropped for the 100th time”
