Restaurants in Twentynine Palms

“It was like staying in Bedrock, I expected Fred Flintstone to pop his head over the rocks at any moment. It's a truly unique campground. It can get very windy and the mice are fast if your not paying attention and leave something out... even for a few minutes.

Even our 17yo dog did some exploring, something the old guy hasn't done in awhile.”

“Fantastic food with the nicest staff. Will definitely be back as we will be here a little while”

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

“The Palms is the bar from the 80's sitcom 'Cheers' while simultaneously being the cantina in Star Wars (1977). It's not a wretched hive of scum and villainy, but a splendid swarm of circus sideshow and music freaks, and those that love them.”

“The best drinks in town and always served up with a smile! Sooo glad they have a store now and I'm not limited to just Saturdays. They are fast and friendly, the drinks are always tasty with or without Boba. (but I always have boba!)”

“Yes, friendly place, home town atatmosphere.”

“The food is awesome and consistent and I adore the family that owns it!”

“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”

“The bar tenders are awesome 💯”

“Delicious tacos, good sized portions, unbeatable price, nice restaurant eating area, aaand you can get a glass of wine from the bar attached to the bowling alley and drink it in the Mexican restaurant along with your meal. Excellent!! Great service too. Very friendly lady at the till.”

“Awesome lunch at Twentynine palms. Beer was good and the food excellent. I had the brisket hot dog chili cheese sandwich, wow! My wife had the portobello 5 guys sandwich and it was outstanding too. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. Nice shaded patio.”

“Had a delicious dinner at taquerialaspalmas. Made to feel at home by everyone who works there. I had the quesadilla ranchera and Jamaica and both were so delicious, can tell the food is made with love.”

“This place is a secret hidden gem in 29. Food is fantastic, full of flavor and huge portions. The service was perfect and quick and the restaurant is very clean. Best Mexican food I've had in the high desert.”

“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.”

“La comida está deliciosa ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jan 2026
We came here after getting an attitude from the staff at the restaurant at the 29 Palms inn. What a refreshing change.
Friendly staff, quick service and excellent basic food.
Dining area was clean, neat and quiet. Thank you for the nice dinner.”

“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. 🍕🍕🍕😁”

“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.”

“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 !”

“Visiting from out of town and thought I’d try this place. It was the best soul food I’ve ever had. I placed an online order and the owner called me directly to help find a substitute for an item they ran out of. I order a lot of takeout and that’s the best customer service experience I’ve heard of. Im a big fan of hush puppies and these are now my favorite. I’d also recommend the tilapia, it was delicious.”

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

“Would like to shout out Darrien. They messed up our order. However, we called them and he was very understanding, nice, and fixed it right away (deserves a raise). Even threw in some extra cookies too! :)”

“Fun!!! Air hockey, pool tables, poker tables w/ chips, TVs, basketball, football, WWE, shots, music, drink specials, chips n salsa....

“restaurant worth together🥰🥰”

“had another great dinner from here always good 👍”

“Great staff.
Manny is a great host. Very considerate to my dietary needs since I don't eat any pork products, he prepared my omelette separately to my satisfaction.”

“sarah is so awesome, and so sweet. really amazing with her customer service. she really helped me out especially in the rough situation. she is amazing. 10/10 for her.”

“The workers are so nice and friendly to everyone, and they always remember my drink. Thank you Starbucks workers for always doing a great job.”

“First time visiting. I’ve passed by many times but never thought to come here for boba until my friends told me about their bobas. So I Came here just for their boba. I was thoroughly impressed by how clean the inside is. It’s also very cozy and the atmosphere feels very welcoming. I got their milk tapioca and I enjoyed it. Will return to try other bobas!

Kid-friendliness: Very cozy and family restaurant.

Parking: Ample parking on both sides of the establishment.”

“First they forgot our sandwich then my sandwich had no meat on it but in the end they redid both of ours and put in extra snacks!! Thank you sooo much!”

“0311 here, sorry gents I know you didn’t appreciate when we’d hit up your chow hall in our filthy, salt dog cammies instead of stinking up our own chow hall across base, but y’all had a palace compared to our side 😂”

“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.”

“Pretty solid place to stay if you’re going to Joshua Tree!! Overall the standout reason I’m writing the review is because the customer service that went above and beyond. Tyler from the front desk was the definition of a hard worker and did so much to ensure that we had a pleasant experience at the inn. Genuinely wouldn’t have loved this place as much as I did if it weren’t for his impeccable customer service and friendly nature. Thank you so much Tyler!!! Would definitely come again.”

“This restaurant has a drive thru, perfect for if you just left Joshua Tree National Park and are hungry! The food hit the spot perfectly and was fresh and hot within a couple of minutes of ordering at the window. GREAT pricing, especially when compared to other options, even more so with how good the food is! The refried beans in particular were a great side with perfect flavor! The enchiladas had great flavor with great portion sizes - the enchilada sauce and chicken both were so tasty. The burrito was HUGE and packed with meat in a great ratio to rice and beans so that it was balanced. My family was so happy to have found this place. Highly recommended if you're coming through 29 Palms!!”

“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”
