When we moved to the Coachella Valley in 2022, we tried looking for good BBQ and were really…read moredisappointed by the local offerings. We tried about every place we could find. That search finally ended when we found Smokey Lips BBQ. Chef Adam makes the best BBQ this side of Kansas City - seriously. His food is always excellent and made with great care. Last year for Thanksgiving we ordered his smoked turkey, and we have vowed never to spend a Thanksgiving without one if we can. The only complaint I have about Smokey Lips BBQ is that I can't get it whenever we want it, which isn't really a complaint, but a compliment! But in this era, it's a nice reminder that good things take time, and some gems are meant to be savored whenever you have the chance. I hate social media, but I go on Instagram specifically to find out where and when Chef Adam will be offering his amazing food. Follow Smokey Lips there. You won't be disappointed!!

If you want some soul food or BBQ in Palm Springs, Brown's is the place to grab it. This looks like…read morean unassuming hole in the wall type of house, but you'll find some parking spots out front. The staff is nice and there are a few tables inside. It definitely seems to be family owned and full of love. My friend and I took our food to go and were super pleased with everything. We tried the tasty ribs, plump chicken, sweet potatoes, beans, potato salad - had a good variety of eats. My personal favorite and bias though was the Mac and Cheese. This some straight soul macaroni and cheese, prepared in casserole form and then you get a good sized chunk in the meals. The only thing I wasn't hot on was the cornbread as it was dry. But other than, loved all the components of the dinners. I'm hoping to do an annual trip to Palm Springs and I will surely be making Brown's BBQ and Soul Food a part of that. Next time : Getting those oxtails!

If I could give Marnie's 10 stars I would. I hosted my boyfriends birthday in Desert Hot Springs…read moreand hard Marnie's cater the party, this was the absolute best decision I could have ever made. She is a great communicator, business woman, and most of all amazing cook. Her food was to die for, I choose the Tri-Tip, Prime Rib, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Mac n Cheese, & Green Beans. Not one thing disappointing to any one of us all was so much more than I could have imagined. Please please give her a try when you are in town she is amazing and well deserves all the business!! I will be definitely going to her for future events and such. Thank you again Marnie for sharing your gift of cooking with my friends and I!

DO NOT EAT FROM THIS HOUSE! Yes, I said house! So, I was excited to find a BBQ restaurant that was…read moreclose to my hotel in Desert Hot Springs. Around 2:00 pm, I decide to put the address into my GPS and head on over to get "my plate." However, I quickly found out that a restaurant does not exist and it's ONLY a house (found this out from random strangers in the neighborhood). I call the number listed on their Google page and no one answers. Something said, send a text. Miraculously I get a response from the "owner" stating this is a house and she only takes orders from a certain time and she has too many orders today and try back Monday. REALLY?! When I explain to her that that's not good business to have conflicting information on Google and it be something else! I wonder how many people have made this drive for absolutely NOTHING. Now, get this...the silly woman then continues to text me stating that I am not harassing her (so, I guess a potential customer giving an "owner" feedback is now "harassment." **laughable** STEAR clear of this house, restaurant or whatever it is! I wonder if the health department even knows about them. Now, she wants to make it seem like someone is else is having a bad day! I am when I drove to place that doesn't exist and you don't communicate via phone, but seem to have plenty of time to text and respond to messages on Yelp! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT WASTING YOUR TIME HERE WITH THIS INCOMPETENT wanna be business.

Looks can be deceiving from the outside because once you get in, it's just cute and homey vibes with good, well priced food. Nothing beats a good sandwich, and I needed something with veggies and got a sandwich (their #1 option, I forgot the name) and it was so yummy. Good to split with a friend and/or grab a full sandwich to take out for later. I loved it so much I went back the following day because I was determined to not spend an egregious amount of money on Coachella food. Support your local businesses! The staff were so sweet and accommodating. My picture does not do it justice, but I was just too hungry and dug in immediately.
