    We finally decided to try this place today. So glad we did. The food was soooo good. I loved the baked beans and potato salad. The meats we tried were all tender and had great flavor. The sweet BBQ sauce was my favorite. The dining area was spacious, lots of tables. Fairly busy for a Saturday around 4. The service was super friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back to try other items.

    We had the sausage and the dark meat chicken.  Everything was described in the review.

    Today's lunch was at a local BBQ joint in Indio. Only offers 1. TriTip 2. Pulled pork 3. Linguica sausage 4. Boneless chicken dark meat We got the sausage (needed a slight kick of spice) and chicken (was good). Baked beans were great! The MacNCheese needed a bit more cheese. The deviled egg potato salad lacked chunks of potato, too mushy. The service was very good and friendly!!

    All week, I was thinking to myself, "Where could I order up and take home delicious bbq to enjoy on a Friday evening?"I heard some positive comments about CV BBQ. I phoned in my order, which was promptly taken without hassle. I enjoyed the chicken meal with two amazing sides. The chicken meal is tender, slow cooked, with a hint of oakwood bbq flavor. Truly an amazing chicken bbq dinner or lunch meal. I admit that CV BBQ is now my favorite bbq chicken meal in the Coachella Valley. Hands down ,exceptional ! My side orders equally meritorious positive remarks. The beans were slightly sweet and full of flavor. My other side, Mac & Cheese, delicious with a chipotle flavor! My dining companion enjoyed the wonderful flavor and preparation of the tri-tip meal. The tri-tip is perfectly prepared. You will not be disappointed. Fellow yelpers also give the tri -tip high marks for flavor and tastes. Our meals were so delicious and enjoyable. I was focused on the flavors and delight. Sorry, I neglected to snap a quick photo of our dinner meal. Too late, my meal was partially devoured. Fellow Yelpers have posted several photos of CV BBQ meals and offerings to make your mouth water for delicious bbq and sides. As you enter the eatery, you can feel the warmth, pride, and care for this close-knit eatery with a "family-run" feel. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, organized, pleasant, and very clean. Staff members, Prisciilla and Adrain greeted me with a warm and friendly smile. I felt truly appreciated for coming into their wonderful piece of bbq heaven. Kudos and a huge "thank you" to Priscilla and Adrian for their awesome customer service skills! As you enjoy your meal, you can taste the pride, heart, soul, and passion of this eatery. They love their craft of making elevated -tasting special bbq, and offering their creation to the community. If you enjoy bbq, eat here!

    Excellent BBQ!! We stopped in after being excused from jury duty. What a great find. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the place is clean and had some great music playing. We ordered the trip-tip sandwich and a rack of bbq baby back ribs. Both were smoked and cooked to perfection. The tri-tip was flavorful, tender, and tasted great with their own bbq sauce on top. The ribs were flavorful, tender, and pulled right off the bone. We will definitely be back and would like to try their other meats (chicken, etc). Go try this place for sure!!

    The hours of business are crazy, it is off the beat and path in Indio , and the bbq menu is very unusual. We first wanted to go one Sunday but they are closed Sunday and Monday. It's clean and cute to dine in but it's very confusing to try and order the first time you visit because the items are by the pound and half pound. The young girl at the counter was very sweet but she couldn't answer any questions about amounts. So we ended up ordering way too much sausage which wasn't our favorite. A half pound would have been enough. There were three of us dining at home. The potato salad was exceptional followed by the Mac and cheese , tri tip-, and the spicy bbq sauce. The beans were good but a tad sweet .the chicken was boneless thighs which might be better in a sandwich than eaten alone. I thought the garlic bread, slaw, and the corn were just ok. It's far to drive so I'm not sure if we can dine there too often.

    Marf bowl was really good and workers were nice. Would go again. Prices were fair.and the vibe was great

    1 meat plate. They give a lot!
    Kat L.

    Absolutely my FAVORITE bbq between here are Corpus Christi Texas where we also have a home. Employees are ALWAYS super sweet and helpful. They always check to be sure you are enjoying your order. My only request is that they switch to paper for the hot beans and mac n cheese. I try not to eat hot stuff out of plastic. Only eat the center part where it does not touch the plastic. But it wouldn't stop me from eating here. They could serve it to me on a bed pan and I would be happy.

    This place is legit! I grabbed a combo plate plus a side of mac at the Palm Springs Thursday night…read morefair. The plate came with ribs, chicken, sausage, coleslaw, and potato salad. Everything was absolutely excellent! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, with just the right amount of tangy bbq sauce drizzled on the meats. Definitely try if you see the truck.

    *Uncle D & Auntie V are Legit*…read more I take my BBQ & Brisket very seriously...and I'm thrilled Uncle D does too. So happy to stumble upon this lovely lively couple serving up their incredible BBQ food at the Palm Springs Art Museum commemorating & celebrating Juneteenth. Uncle D & Auntie V were so sweet & kind, they take their craft very seriously, and appreciate their customers. I had one of the BEST BBQ Brisket Sandwich's ever. And I've eaten & sampled my fair share. When I expressed I'm from LA and would drive all the way to Compton for the OG Bludso's BBQ & Brisket and Ribs with my BF, Auntie V's face lit up and says "I know it very well...and Darly is from Compton." When I told Uncle D, he expressed he knows Kevin Bludso personally...so I already knew I was in for a major brisket treat. After devouring my Sando in record time -- though I slowed down towards the end -- because I did not want it to end. I told my wife "I could eat 2 more of these." And speaking of which -- wifey's not too keen on BBQ like her hubby but can appreciate a great piece of quality meat. She took one bite (right smack in the middle -- which I suggested because it's the best bite :) and her response? "Oh my god...I could eat one of these." I've never heard her say that about BBQ Brisket. What makes Uncle D's Brisket so special? It's smoked & cooked overnight in a smoke-pit ~~ seasoned to perfection ~~ not fatty nor salty one bit...and don't get me started on the BBQ sauce that's not too thick & not too thin ~~ not too sweet & not too tangy ~~ it's simply perfection. And the bun too. This sandwich is so good you don't even need TEETH to enjoy because the mEAT is so soft & tender ~~ as perfect brisket should be. Following brisket consumption I went back to share my thoughts with D & V and when I said "not only is this one of the best I've ever had, it's better than Bludso's." D Looked me right in the eyes and softly said "really...seriously?" "Yes indeed" I said and he thanked me again. Then I told him "this section should be labeled: "The Art of Brisket" and D smiled at me so wide I can still see his happy face. Then we fist-bumped because he was wearing gloves but that Sando was so frickin' great I wanted to hug that cool bearded BBQ Master. Wifey had some of their Mac & Cheese and thought the noodles were cooked perfectly, it wasn't too cheesy & oily...and loved that it wasn't too salty. I took a bite and 2nd her notion. Checkout their website to find out where they'll be throughout the Coachella Valley. And make sure to confirm the location because their days & hours change during Summertime. Can't wait to find this hidden gem again...and next time I'm going to try their pulled pork and spare ribs too. And another Brisket sando or two :) {{{Big High Fives}}} {{{Fist-Bump & Hugs}}} Grandslam Huge Fan

This place is seriously beautiful. It feels like a little oasis in the middle of the desert. The restaurant itself great, but the outdoor space is what really stands out--lush greenery, water features, waterfalls, and a really nice outdoor bar and seating area. It looks like it would be perfect for events, but also just a really solid date night spot. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't overly crowded. We didn't have reservations and had no problem getting in. If you sit in the bar area, they have a great happy hour (inside or outside), and we got a couple dollars off our drinks. There's also a happy hour food menu, but we ended up ordering the carne asada nachos from the regular shareables menu and they were really good. What stood out the most, though, was the service. We recently moved here from the South, and I've honestly missed that warm, genuine hospitality. Our server completely delivered on that. I didn't catch her name, but she was a brunette working in the indoor bar area--super kind, always smiling, and made us feel really comfortable! She checked on us often without being overbearing and just had that natural, welcoming vibe that's hard to find. Food came out fast, everything was smooth, and overall it was just a really great experience. We'll definitely be back and already plan on recommending it to friends!
