My husband said the best burger he ever had. My daughter and I had the finicky coyote beyond burger and we both agreed it was the best one we ever had. Then came the passion fruit walnut brownie… And once again - it was the best brownie we’ve ever had. The only bummer was their website hours were not up-to-date and claimed that they closed at 10 on Wednesdays and Thursdays when in fact, they closed at 9 with a last call for the kitchen at 8:30. We snuck in at 8:25 and then saw staff turn customers away. They told us that they adjusted their hours when it wasn’t busy (it was packed). So call ahead to confirm when they close so you aren’t disappointed. Because you will be if you miss it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF friendly- many options and modsKid-friendliness: Was fine for older kids/ tweens to teens. Not a vibe for tots.

We had our first Grnd Squrl burger last week on a trip up from LA. My girlfriend who is currently a vegetarian tried it and declared it the best burger she’s ever had.This week were driving to Texas and made an hourlong detour just to get the burger and truffle fries again.Yes, it is really that good

The wait wasn't bad on a Monday eve at 630p. Service was great, the Sqrl Burger was amazing, the fries were an afterthought that couldn't be redeemed with any amount of truffling or garlic... The wait for food (just shy of 30 mins) for a table of 4 was disappointing. Live music made my ears bleed.

Favorite place in Twentynine Palms! Always order whatever their special chicken sandwich is on the menu. Best ever chicken sandwiches, seriously.

I wasn't expecting to be so impressed honestly. As a local I thought people were just hyped up because it's not fast food, I was totally wrong. The food was sooooo good!It was so loud in there we were all yelling & still couldn't hear each other but that was because we were placed under a speaker. Next time we'll sit outside for sure. Loved that they kept the door propped open, it was pack so that was needed for sure.Word has clearly gotten out because there was a celeb or 2 while we were there.I did feel like a $30 charge on top of our meals was over the top. We didn't even ask for anything extra, bill wasn't split or anything...to make it super easy. There were 6 of us. We weren't drinking & only saw our waitress 3X so to get charged extra sucked.That said it is totally a place I'll be back to. Burger was cooked perfect, bacon was perfect. Pretzel was tasty, fries were grub too. The others got a rotating chicken sando which looked & smelled so good! Everyone was so satisfied with lunch that I'm the only one who left with a to go box. LolHere's the best part!!!! My daughter in law who can stand blue cheese ate the blue cheese on accident & after we figured out it wasnt ranch she said it was actually good!I tasted both ranch & blue cheese & they were very creamy. Your chef knows what they are doing! Thank you so much for making our Monday afternoon a special one.Dietary restrictions: Got my burger no onions & there wasn't an onion in sight, thank you!!!Parking: Free parking lot in back.

One of our absolutely favorite local hangouts. Can never go wrong with the Squirrel Burger or the Caesar Salad when it’s available ? Great place to stop in for lunch and a wonderful place to just hang out for dinner. Worth the stop every time if you’re passing through!Vegetarian options: Items can be made to be vegetarian friendly!Dietary restrictions: Plenty of Gluten Free options!

Great find in 29 palms. Menu is small but dynamite, and great selection of craft beers make it a worthy stop. Highly recommended!!

Big fan. Food is legit and service was excellent. Also very kid friendly (kids menu, games, etc.).

Burger was okay, despite some weird spice. Fries were terrible, soggy and limp. Server seemed annoyed to be working. Overall, it was a bit pretentious, with not much to back that up.

Best chicken sandwich I ever had. We delayed our trip home just to eat here one more time. Grilled cheese and horseradish dressing on side salad also noteworthy. Love that that had Russian River on tap, although we did not drink. Brad was super awesome and remembered us from a couple days ago. Great music while we ate. This place is legit. Make sure to check it out!!
Very cute place that I wanted to love. An issue for me is how strongly worded the menu was (I.e. burger only served medium; all other food said no substitutions). This is probably fine for most but being pregnant this wasn’t sitting well with me. Also, do yourself a favor and skip on the brownie. It was somehow spicy, with mint and sour cherry…. Nobody at my table could fully stomach it. I’m sure this place is good if you mainly want beer and don’t need any dietary accommodations.

The burgers and sandwiches were incredibly well balanced- meats perfectly cooked, crunchy pickles, nice amount of sauce, even the gluten free bun was delicious. We had the sqrl burger and the pulled pork sandwich and would definitely go back and try other options if in the area again.Just be aware- the sandwiches are generously sized and so is even the smaller portion of fries. Plan accordingly!Dietary restrictions: Many gluten free options.

Really great little bar. Vegetarian options were fantastic instead of just feeling like an afterthought. Enjoyed the live music too!
