There were surprisingly a lot of choices after exiting the park but this looked interesting. We were not wrong. It’s hard to describe the place from the outside. There are a lot of decorations and knickknacks and it’s a challenge to find the entrance, but please try it’s worth it. The bar and the dining room were quite busy and a very eclectic group Was there for a late lunch. The menu contained a whole lot of different options and I think most people could be satisfied. I was impressed that they had both a garden burger and a beyond burger as options. A very cold pint of Modelo was just what was needed. One of us had the shrimp tacos and one of us had the grilled fish tacos. Both were wonderful. The shrimp were grilled with Cajun seasoning kind of flavor not too spicy. The tacos were loaded with veggies and a lot of cilantro. The cod was plentiful and cooked just right. The fish tacos came as a platter with chips and salsa and Forron up charge I got amazing coleslaw with my shrimp tacos. The coleslaw was wonderful not too mayonnaise-y, just perfect. The service was good and I was impressed when our server was leaving and she came around and introduced her replacement. The food took quite a while to come and we had to ask, but it was really busy. I can’t describe what the places like, but it really is something to see. A great place if you’re in the area.

Date of visit: March 28, 9:00 PM I arrived at the restaurant with my service dog, who is a small, fully trained 8-pound dog that has been working with me for over four years. She is specifically trained to remain calm and still inside a secured backpack attached to my back, as part of a medical and emotional support routine that is essential to my mental health. Unfortunately, the hostess — a blonde woman with light eyes — refused to allow me to sit indoors unless I placed the dog on the ground, even after I calmly explained multiple times that this is not something my service dog is trained or able to do. I explained my emotional condition and the importance of having my dog physically attached to me, as she’s been trained to do for years. Instead of offering understanding or support, the hostess dismissed everything I shared and caused me to have a full-blown anxiety attack right there at the entrance. It truly felt like she intentionally wanted to make things harder for me — perhaps because I resembled her in appearance, or for some other personal reason — but regardless, it was incredibly upsetting and unnecessary. I want to emphasize that I had originally planned to leave a positive review and even share this place on social media. Sadly, this experience left me extremely disappointed, all because one staff member chose not to show compassion or professionalism. I chose not to escalate or involve authorities to avoid ruining my entire trip — but I truly hope this feedback is taken seriously, as no guest should be made to feel ashamed or triggered in such a vulnerable moment. This is not the way to treat a customer, especially one with a documented emotional support need.

Very expensive and overrated. There is a lack of good dining options in Twentynine palms. This place is more for an experience rather than good food. First, the entrance was confusing. When you go in you only see an outside area where you go to a counter to place your order and then sit at an open table. If you go when they have live music it’s incredibly loud. We wandered around a bit and found there is actually a restaurant with inside seating options. We went in and the ambience and decor is very old western so it has character and charm. It’s extremely busy and crowded - however they were able to seat us quickly. They told us the food can take up to 45 min to come out once you order, but it came quicker. The cocktails were good. Both my friends got burgers and said they were very dry with absolutely no seasoning or flavor. The fries were really good though and the fried pickle appetizer was ok. It was just a bit heavy. I’m vegetarian so at first i ordered the mushroom taco, which was tiny and barley had any sauce. Didn’t seem like the mushrooms were sautéed with any sauce or flavors. It was extremely plain. So then i ordered the vegetarian sandwich, which took FOREVER to come out. Once it did, however, it was actually tasty but keep in mind its not very big. It does come with a side. Overall its a cool place for the experience but expect long wait times, high prices, and mediocre food

On our recent trip to Joshua Tree National Park, the motel we stayed in had recommendations for local places to dine. Just a few blocks away was the Joshua Tree Saloon. We went our first night - and enjoyed it so much we came back the next two nights for dinner. It’s a popular place -so we put our name in and enjoyed a draft beer (they have more than a dozen on-tap, we chose from the local CVB: Coachella Valley Brewing flavors). We were seated in a few minutes and found many choices on the menu to enjoy. We enjoyed their Taquitos and had both their Carnitas and Pollo Asada Tacos and one night we shared their Baby Back Ribs plate - delicious! Our last day we made it in time to take in the Happy Hour Menu - if you’re around between Great prices with select choices of their regular menu and bargain priced beer on tap. The ambiance is cool - inside and out with an old west vibe. There’s live music several nights a week and we found the service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. If we find ourselves back in (or passing through) the town of Joshua Tree again, we’d definitely visit again - to eat and drink).
