    We went to this place for a light dinner and I was delighted by the delicious wings they served. I love Korean fried chicken wings, especially the crispy ones and this restaurant delivered exactly that. The crispy wings were really delicious though a little bit too salty for my taste. The kimchi fried rice was also really good. But what was more pleasing was the service. The lady who took our order was wonderful. The restaurant itself was also very clean with some interesting decor that shows their clear Korean ties. Overall a good place for Korean fried wings.

    BB.Q Chicken is a small Korean chicken chain that offers Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) as well as common basic Korean dishes and sides. They do also serve both domestic and Asian beer, Makgoelli, Soju and wine for you to enjoy with your meal. Employees were nice, it does take a while for your order to come out after ordering, so order ahead if you plan on doing takeout and if dining in, be prepared to wait a bit. The have a small bar area if you plan on ordering takeout and waiting. We only ordered some KFC to take back to our timeshare to eat as there is not a whole lot of seating here and it was petty full at dinner time. We ordered a 16 piece wings with bone on (half Gangjeong and half soy garlic). The chicken tasted good overall, not the best we have had, but tasty and the size of the wings were a good size. They are located in a shopping center next to Ralph's Supermarket and is surrounded by golf courses as well as the J.W. Marriott Desert Springs and the Westin Desert Willows timeshare resorts, so if you are staying at one of the timeshares or golfing nearby, it's a great place to grab a drink and some tasty Korean dishes.

    Wings of Fire (left) and original spicy (right)   Wings of fire has some heat but so tasty!!

    So happy we finally have a bb.q Chicken in the Coachella valley. This is one of my favorite spots and this location held up to its high standards. Chicken was extra crispy, hot and really flavorful. Service was great! Wings of fire and honey garlic were my two favorites. Excited to try the other flavors

    Great crispy chicken wings! Reminds me of Jollibee. Just a suggestion, start serving gravy.

    I'm so happy that there's a Korean fried chicken spot in the desert. It's in a good location, in a plaza with various businesses and a grocery store next door. There's a large parking lot in front. This was our first time here, I thought it was just takeout only but I was surprised that it had more of a sit down feel. We just ordered to go anyways. We ordered the half whole chicken (8 pc) Golden Original and the small boneless (8pc) Soy Garlic. We waited inside for our food, wait time wasn't long at all. It was about 15 to 20 minutes. I liked the ambiance indoors, there were many tables to choose from. And I loved how there was a US Open tennis match playing. The chicken was pretty good. I really liked the Soy Garlic. It was saucy, but not too saucy. Texture was wonderful. The soy garlic sauce was a nice sweet and savory mix. And the Golden Original was good too. Texture was perfect, it had a nice crispy and crunchy outside. We also got the pickled radishes on the side, and it paired very nicely with the chicken. One thing I will say, is that I wish the Golden Original's batter had a little bit more flavor. Although it had amazing texture, it tasted bland to me. I was left wanting a little bit more every bite. We had a great experience and I'd definitely come back again to eat inside. Service was helpful and friendly.

    Galbi Boneless Chicken 8 piece. (It was just Ok for me, yummy green onions though)

    First time here. Nice vibe, slow service. The outside signage says bbq & pub, which is a cool idea. The vibe was a mix of music playing inside, a few TVs with games showing and one TV playing K-pop videos with no sound. On the way out noticed that Looks there's a fire pit on the patio, maybe that'll come in handy in winter, but right now it's over 110 degrees out. The temperature inside was fine, not too hot or too cold. Can't wait until the fall and winter to be able to sit out on the patio. The Honey Garlic chicken was fresh and crispy. Our server forgot to put in our tteokbokki order, so we had to ask about it and then wait while they made it. It tasted great but was way too spicy for my husband. I liked it though. We really liked the Honey Garlic Boneless chicken. Good flavor and a nice crispy crunch. We also tried the Galbi Boneless chicken. It was just ok for me, with lots of fresh green onions and a smoky taste, but something in the flavor profile was missing. It wasn't as crispy as the Honey Garlic and didn't have that extra something. Missing the it factor. We ordered some radish, which was tasty. A must add. The unsweetened Pure Leaf Teas were good, but we were OVERCHARGED a $1 each for them. if the price is now $3 each, please put those stickers on your menus to correct it. That's frustrating & if I would've had a chance to see the charges, I would've brought it up and got it resolved... :( Normally, I check the receipt before paying, but I wasn't given that option. The server just told me the total and brought the handheld payment thing to the table for the payment and tip without showing any breakdown. I couldn't even find the subtotal. Service was friendly but slow. We had to ask for basics like extra napkins, a to-go container, and even to remind them about the original order. Also, for non alcoholic beverages, it will be non-refillable Can or Bottle. For the most part, we liked it & now we know what to expect. Next time, we'll do our own math & have our tip ready bc this payment system bases the tip on the after-tax total. I don't get why some places do this and some don't. Maybe it's the system default or that smaller restaurants just don't think about tips correctly?!? Either way, it can frustrate us customers. It might be worth fixing the tip to calculate based on the subtotal instead. Please Mr/Mrs Owner. 제발요~ I would have knocked it down a fraction of a star, but that Honey Garlic Chicken was the star of the night (대박!) and the tteokbokki was legit. See you next time! 다음에 봐요!

    Service was great. Friendly staff. Food was fresh and delicious. My son enjoyed his plate and would love to come back, but we're from SF, so on our next visit we will for sure come back.

    Had lunch here the other day. We ordered the honey boneless chicken. We also ordered a side of rice. I enjoyed the flavor of the chicken and the rice was a nice compliment. The overall service was good and it did not take too long to get our food served.

    Right top is the 1/2 whole chicken golden original crunch and tasty !

    Back in Rancho Mirage so I had to revisit BB.Q Chicken in Palm Desert. Ordered the half chicken golden original and the kimchi fried rice . Let me tell you it was delish ! The chicken was crispy and finger lickin good . The kimchi rice was the surprise winner also . Large container that could feed 3 people easily . It was not spicy but so flavorful .... Well worth ordering with chicken . Of course I'll be back again in 2 weeks so I'll have to come back for another dose of Korea .

    Local blonde beer ... while we wait for our fresh made to order food.
    Astrid P.

    The food is authentic to what can be found in Korea. From the flavors to the juicy texture of the chicken. The vibe is chill, music is good Don't forget to order a beer or soju Local beer is also served.

    Menu is awesome

    Okay second try and didn't let me down. Wow this place is viral. Orders coming in for superbowl Sunday. Super busy food rates #1

    Honey garlic
    Mary N.

    Casual dining experience but they do take your order at the table abs bring your food to your table. A large variety of sauce options. I wish you could try more than one flavor per wings order. Had the honey garlic option and it was good. Chicken made fresh to order so the wings come out very hot and crispy. The batter was a bit thick but very crunchy.

    I moved here from LA, and I miss edible Korean food (this desert really lacks Asian options!) I couldn't believe my eyesssss when I saw this being built. Random, yet delightful. It's a little pricier than a remember, but still the great quality I remember. I wish they would let you request NO FISH CAKES in the toppoki...... this "clientele" isn't gonna like those things. I've only picked up my orders, so I'm looking forward to going to sit down and watch baseball here!

    The service was great! We had shared Lasagna with yummy…read moregarlic bread. It was the best lasagna we've had in a long time. There was plenty of meat and cheese and more than filled us up. We had seen and smelled!!! the Works Pizza when we walked in. We ordered a large to take home, but couldn't resist eating some before we left. It was soooo good! I don't like onions, peppers or mushrooms, but the combination with the ton of meat was delicious! I didn't even want to pick anything off. It was even better when we reheated it!!! We will definitely make the hour drive when we need our next pizza and lasagna fix!!!

    The food here is fantastic. We had "The Work" medium size pizza, French fries and garlic cheese…read morebread. The pizza had a wonderful crispy crust topped with a large amount of meats vegetables and cheese. Cooked thoroughly to perfection, not undercooked like works pizza can be but just right.the fries were hit, crispy and soft inside. Great flavor even without ketchup or ranch which we also had. The service was chill, laid back and very friendly. I felt like I was being served by good welcoming friends. One downside was the server who took our order, forgot to put it in the computer which caused a 45 minute delay. Taking it in stride he immediately offered to comp the whole meal and drinks, taking the blame upon himself. Stand up guy! I offered to at least pay for the drinks and he wouldn't let me. Regardless of the time delay, we had a great time and the food was outstanding. We will be back.

    We were headed into town and were looking g for barbecue. Big Earl's came up with great ratings so…read morewe headed over. As Earl said in another review 'It's a dive bar' and he's right! Hole in the wall, and you have to go through the bigger bar to get to Earl's. It's a friendly place, lots of TVs and pool tables. This high point is the food. It's DELICIOUS! We had brisket Caesar salad, burnt ends and wings. The wings were some of the best I've ever had with a great rub...we didn't even need the barbecue sauces. Service was fast and very friendly. Earl served us himself. The Margarita was fabulous (and only $7). There were lots of locals, but all very friendly. Well probably head back there on our way out of town to grab sandwiches to go..

    OMG--hear me out! First, I genuinely thought I was ordering from a completely different place…read morenearby... and honestly, I'm so glad I was wrong. Best mistake ever. Second, it took me a minute to find it. I was like, "Where is it?" All I could see was a bar. Plot twist: it's inside the bar. At that point, it felt like I was about to buy secret, underground New York mobster food--very hush-hush, very exclusive But WOW--the food was amazing. Both my fiancé and I absolutely loved it. Every bite was incredible. The lady cooking was so sweet and kind--maybe she noticed I was a little unsure at first Seriously, everything was so good. No complaints, no regrets, just happiness. We are definitely going back. Mister Earl, you've got yourselves some new regulars!
