SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason…read more LOCATION: Great location, just off Washington in La Quinta, Easy to find parking can get busy depending on when you visit. FACILITY: Looks like a diner, is a diner, and very nice and clean. MENU: Many selections, breakfast options may be overwhelming but you'll definitely find something you want. Lunch offers very good but standard options. FOOD PREP: Always, very well done for that Louise's Pantry is, they don't fake anything here. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for this style of food. It is a great experience. WAITSTAFF: We've been here many times, and never have we run across anyone not upbeat, polite, and happy to see a customer. OVERALL VALUE: A bit on the expensive side but considering the amount of food they bring you, it is a fair deal. TIP: Unless you are Mr. Creosote (bonus points if you know that one) for $2.00 you can get a split plate and still have a huge portion. We usually go this way respecting the seats we are taking up.

My husband and I stopped by Louise's Pantry for breakfast during our stay in La Quinta. We both…read moreordered the Country Breakfast, and unfortunately, it was just okay. The eggs needed seasoning, and the country potatoes were dry and lacked flavor, with only a couple of small pieces of onion and red pepper mixed in. My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

I decided on the green chilaquiles and my husband got the machaca. We saw someone else with chiles toreados and we had to order some (I don't think they're on the menu). Our breakfast was SO good and the chiles were super spicy, just the way we like them. A must-order for a Mexican breakfast. What really stood out was the service. They were always checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. When we left, there were so many people waiting outside for a table. A good sign. We'll definitely come visit again next time we're in town.

I ordered a side of sausage patties, another breakfast item I prefer over sausage links, and they were also very tasty. The place was busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday late morning. I'm sure Sundays are PACKED! The service was top notch and friendly. I'm not always in this area for breakfast, but if I am, this just might be my next go to.

If you're in Indio and looking for a solid breakfast/lunch spot, Sloan's Restaurant is definitely…read moreworth the stop. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out. The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing--my coffee and water were constantly refilled without even having to ask, which always makes a difference. I ordered the BLTA along with their German pancake. The BLTA was exactly what you want--crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado, all put together on toasted bread, and paired perfectly with seasoned fries. Now the standout: the German pancake. Just a heads up--it takes about 15-20 minutes to come out, but it's 100% worth the wait. It's served hot, puffed up, and finished with powdered sugar and lemon. Light, slightly crisp on the edges, and soft in the middle--really well done. Overall, great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to

Since the first time we have visited this place a few times and have even invited our family over to try it out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order inside and they give you this number where you take to your table and they will bring the food out to you. There is also napkins, and water inside for you to grab for yourself. As for the food, I am someone that loves trying different things in hopes I find something I really like, so far I have really enjoyed their cheese danish and butter croissant. I have yet to find my favorite dish from here as I was not a big fan of the chicken and waffles as the oil or sauce from the chicken spread under my waffles & sort of had this weird after taste that I didn't enjoy much. The breakfast burrito was huge and just okay I think if I would customize it a bit I would love it more and the chicken pesto sandwich so far has been something that I enjoyed a bit. Just personal experience as I've seen so many other really love those items. When I find my favorite meals I will come back and update. I do like to note that my boyfriend on the other hand has stayed loyal to their BLT + egg sandwich since our first visit and recommends me to try it so maybe that will be next on my list when I visit again. Their matcha is also okay, the notes are leaning vegetal and I just prefer a more nutty savory matcha. The strawberry syrup they add is pretty good. Wouldn't get it again though.

Pricing very good for the portions. The server gave me a flyer to sign up for their free rewards program, which we did right there from our cell phone and on our next visit, we get a free short stack of pancakes!

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. And the iced coffee deserves its own shout-out. They even had coffee ice cubes so your drink doesn't get watered down. Genius -- and really, really good! The staff was super attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I hope they pool the tips together because every single person earns their keep.
