We were in town for a Half Marathon and after picking up our race packets, we were ready for lunch. We happened on this spot - their menu seemed to have something for everyone! Staff were really friendly, they greeted us when we got there and we got seated right away. You've got a lot of choices to choose from - but since I'm a sucker for BLTs, theirs definitely caught my eye! It was a BLT with avocado plus a fried egg - YUM! Well, let me tell ya, it was everything I could have hoped for! And dang - they are SUPER generous with the 'B'! This sandwich must have had 10 slices of bacon in it - ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but it was sure a lot! (*for the record, the bacon won - I couldn't finish all of it!) Even though this was a sandwich, I ended up eating it like a salad. I'm sure some folks could pick this thing up and eat it like a sandwich, but I'm not one to get real messy when I eat. But nevertheless, it was delicious! Our food was so delicious that we came back here after our race and brought a group of our friends with us! And I don't know what got into me, but I had to have the BLT again - and again the bacon won! But this next time we came back we discovered their monkey bread which is unbelievably delicious!!!!!!!! That with their delicious coffee was such a treat! I ended up ordering an extra serving so that I could take it home to my fam! This was my first experience with Daily Grill and it was a great one! We'll definitely be back! Oh, and I believe our server's name was Ann. She was fantastic! read more

Daily Grill - Best BLT I've ever had -- Emphasis on the "B" !!! Lots of bacon in this Sandwich! - American Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Fantastic - we will be regulars. Can't say enough about the BLTA. Loads of crisp bacon, fresh lettuce and tomato, and whole slices of avocado. We also have been splitting the grilled avocado caprese salad as a starter. All of the food is high quality with fresh ingredients, but those are the standouts. Oh, and the burger. read more

We came to Daily Grill after a long day of driving very close to the time the kitchen closed. Our server was T & he was very accommodating, had a great attitude and told us there was no rush. We appreciated how attentive and kind he was as we essentially came in when the restaurant was closing for the night. Always a favorite when in Palm Desert & T gave exceptional service read more

Stellar Service by Tracey! She is professional and very friendly The food was fresh and tasty. Absolutely love the chicken and the salad with Salmon We will definitely come back here soon for another wonderful lunch! read more

This was a great experience. Food was delicious and atmosphere was amazing. Our server, T, was fantastic, so helpful and friendly. High recommend! read more

We arrived early,but table was ready and we were seated immediately. Staff was friendly and helpful. We order the small pot pie, chicken and meat and they were both very good. Served on hot plates. Very filling. Bread was great,hot and fresh. Other ordered fish and chips,which was large order my friend could not finish. The other guest had a burger and was great. We have been there in previous years as well and food continues to be great. read more

Had a great lunch outdoors. Temp was just right in the shade. Cheeseburger sliders and Gazpacho were perfect together. Maddy is a terrific server. read more

Brought family from Seattle area to one of our favorites spots. We were seated in a booth in the back - hostess seemed to know we wanted to be able to have a conversation. Always like the feel of the Daily Grill - reminds of some of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Tracey was our server. She was wonderful - very personable, quick, attentive. Easy to see why management has kept her with them for 26 years!! Our food was excellent - two of us had the Rueben sandwich - perfection and sweet potato fries oh so yummy. read more

Love this place! It's a staple in this town and on my rotation. Gabe and the Ashley's are the best! It's a don't miss when you're in town.

Food here is always dependable and our server, MacKenzie was great. We always enjoy the Daily Grill. Lots of menu choices.

I ordered the steak salad which was yummy except for the steak. It was skirt steak and didn't have much flavor. And their sourdough bread is sooooo good. It tastes like the sourdough you get at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. The service was exceptional. My server was so attentive and asked all the right questions so that I got exactly what I wanted. read more

Thank you Cody for giving us a great experience. The food is great, the atmosphere's fantastic.

Great food, great service, love the atmosphere. Trout almondine the best. I come from Los Angeles to eat at the Daly Grill in Palm Desert. highly recommend, love the bread too, there is no better. read more

We have made it a tradition to come to Palm Springs each Thanksgiving for the past few years. Each year, we pick up dinner at Daily Grill and it has always been great. Unfortunately, this year they screwed up and when I called them, I was treated so poorly, I felt compelled to leave this review. It's thanksgiving, I get it, the employees would probably rather be somewhere, anywhere, other than work. That said, there is no excuse to be rude to customers. We ordered food for 12 people. It was a $350 meal that we placed the order for, weeks in advance. We scheduled our pickup time for 4 PM and when we arrived at 4, our bags were ready to go. First issue, the staff was not welcoming at all. Fine, not a big deal, I'd be willing to overlook that. The bags were all poorly packed and packed horizontally so items were falling out left and right. It took two people, two trips to take the four bags to the car. Even though the staff didn't offer to help, nor were they kind and courteous, I still felt compelled to leave a tip. I make it home and find out we're missing the dinner rolls and missing two side items. Great. It's a 20 minute drive each direction, 40 mins round trip. I figured I should call the restaurant to let them know and hopefully figure out a solution. Called, selected take out, then they answered and hung up on me. Called back, answered, then hung up on me. Back to back. I call again and finally a girl answered the phone and didn't hang up! I let her know we were missing some items. She told me to "hold on" then came back and said "mashed sweet potatoes aren't an option" to which I replied "that's what we selected as an option and that's what our receipt says" so she again says "hold on." She leaves the phone off the hook and proceeds to loudly complain about customers in to another employee. She went on and on for almost 6 minutes.. then comes back to the phone, picks it up from wherever she left it, and promptly hung it up. We haven't eaten the food yet. I'm not wasting 40 minutes round trip to go back and deal with rude employees. To the staff at Daily Grill, do better. No matter how great of a job your chef does, you ruin the entire experience with terrible service. read more

We came here for lunch, 7 of us. We had Ally and she was a great server. Fries are very good and fresh. We had many dishes including burgers which were cooked perfectly. Restaurant had very nice interior and lots of seating inside and outside. Pasta is nice and buttery. Overall great restaurant. Stop if you're in the area, you won't regret it! read more

12/30/22....Went back to give Daily Grill a second shot. Met some friends there....Friday nite and super busy. Had reservations for 6:15. We were seated promptly in a booth for 4 people. just want to say....I will definitely ask for table next time...booths are a bit tight....no where to put your feet. Now...to the food. I was there 5 months earlier and nothing super impressive about the food. I ordered exactly the same thing as I had 5 months previously. French dip/spicy peanut slaw. Not sure .....maybe different cook or new cook. French dip was really tasty...not soggy. Au jus was very flavorful and the spicy peanut slaw was crunchy and had peanuts this time. Very good. My partner had the fish and chips and they looked really good. I was told that it was very tasty. My friends dishes were also looked great and they said everything was excellent. All good. Was very happy with the food. Service was good even for being so busy. read more

Six of us went there on Saturday (day after Thanksgiving). It started out well - the server seemed to be helpful - that changed soon. One drink was wrong so it was sent back and another (Peach Mule) was not delivered. 15 minutes later we got the drinks after reminding the often-disappearing server. He took our orders (it became obvious he was not as knowledgeable as he seemed - was fish farmed or wild; was the shrimp farmed or wild? - he had to ask another server). About 10 minutes later he came back to verify our orders - seemed very confused - he either needed more drugs or less... Had to ask for their wonderful Sourdough bread three times. The orders came: the short ribs were ridiculously small; the skirt steak that came looked like a wide piece of beef jerky. My skirt steak never arrived - had to talk to the manager - got it 10 minutes later and was cooked properly. Split the check three ways - two of us left 0, and perhaps should have been a minus tip. Overall the experience was dreadful; and we've eaten at several Daily Grills as well as many of the best restaurants in the world. Never again. read more

My wife and I came in for Happy Hour. We were served by our bartender, Gabe. He's very personable and took good care of us. Cocktails for Happy Hour turned into a light dinner. The price was very reasonable, the portions were ample, and the food was delicious. The bar has a good vibe. We had a great time. We'll be back. read more

There was a cockroach walking on our food and bread They manager refund our ticket but still it was dry gross our stomach got very upset Definitely not going there again The waiter was very nice and that's the truth read more

Damian has an excellent customer service, we have been dining regularly here for over 10 years and food is always great!

Always love it! Everything! Great food. Wait staff are pros! Try it! You will like it!

The first thing you notice is the friendly hostess and fantastic attention from staff. The tall dark and handsome busboy, not so much. Anyway. Our server Teresa was engaging and attentive with a wonderful sense of humor. They are really on top of customer care. The food was great with enough portion size for another meal. read more

Great place good vibes. Waitress was nice attentive. Food came out very good wish it would have been a smaller place or more food lol. I had skirt steak risotto and broccoli. I had a recommended apple crumble with ice cream. But it was ok I needed more flavor of cinnamon but other than that definitely would recommended. Also booths are made for heavy individuals next time ill stick to table instead. read more

Always consistently good food and service, for years now. Whether its brunch or the pot pie, skirt steak or a burger its all good! Excellent all week happy hour too... bar staff Dennis, Ashley and Gabe are great. Lots of bar-top, indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Lackluster flavors, less than stellar ingredients and simple meals were definitely not worth the price. $60 for two for lunch of a burger and a salad. The steak was well prepared and flavorful, but the remaining salad ingredients offered very little. read more

Friendly service and great food what more could you ask for! Such a cute patio area with incredible views of the mountains and the el paseo strip. Definitely stop here to take a break from shopping at get yourself a great lunch! I had the Caesar salad with blackened salmon and everything was very fresh and flavorful! I'll definitely be back. read more

Nice patio today but watch the birds above your table in the trees! Wife again ordered, and loved the small chicken pot pie. The breakfast burrito was filling with house potatoes. Guest had monkey bread. Carbs not protein. Glad we made a reservation and suggest outside- much quieter. read more

We were mildly disappointed with our Sunday Brunch here. We had a reservation and were on time, but we hadn't added a comment to our Open Table reservation in the Special Requests section to be seated outside. So even though there were many tables available outside, and many up front in the main restaurant as well, they seated us all the way in the back of the restaurant. The food was meh. My omelette tasted good but looked more like a crepe than an omelette. It was utterly flat. It didn't look like an omelette at all. My husband said his eggs benedict were fine. Our server was great. She was helpful and attentive. She fixed a drink problem for my husband very quickly and then took the drink off our bill, which was unexpected but very nice. Not a terrible visit by any means, just not anything special and not worth a return visit. read more

Monkey bread just a bready cinnamon roll with not enough sweet sugary cinnamon.. I forgot the name of the hamburger patty on fried potatoes with egg any style, and it was ok for me whom is not a real breakfast eater. The meat was cooked just how I asked. Perplexing to me is the helper whom brought out my food whom was not my server, provided four slices of toast and only one of those butter pad squares in aluminum.........of course I had to ask for more. Pastrami like sandwich was good but not a sized enough entree for the price. And I always compare to other restaurants which have better Pastrami sandwiches. read more

The food was awesome. My server T was attentive and very pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit.

Excellent food, great wait staff! Had a wonderful dinner made extra special by our server T who exceeded our expatations. Eric Copple La Quinta read more

Amazing service! Shoutout to T for taking great care of us! Very attentive and hospitable!

We had the pleasure of having a delicious meal this evening and a terrific server by the name of "T" thank you " T"

The service was the best part of our dinner experience. I was so disappointed in the chicken pot pie! Night like it use to be in the past. The pastry dough was raw , with very few white pieces of chicken or veggies! It was mostly gravy & tough disgusting mushrooms ! I'm not sure I will be back... read more

We dine here often. Consistent quality and service. Today our server was Michelle E. She was awesome. Today we had their Chicken Caesar Salad, one of my favorites! Try their Skirt Steak next time you're here! It's a great place to drop in for a beverage or a bite while shopping El Paseo. read more

Unfriendly staff and the restaurant HATES dogs - do NOT bring a pet here! We came for lunch this weekend and sat on the patio with my husband, daughter and 6 lb dog. They said we needed to sit on the patio with my dog upon checking in with hostess...fine, no problem at all. As we sat at the table I was rather rudely handed a laminated paper with a list of about 8 rules I need to follow for having a pet on the patio. They then proceeded to make sure that I read that list after being seated before walking away - which made me feel very uncomfortable. My family and I sat at the table patiently waiting for our food, I had my dog laying down quietly on my lap - sleeping not bothering anyone - when another server came up to the table and with an attitude/bad tone told me to put the dog down - reached over me to grab the rules list and put in front of my face and told me that I should have already read this and known not to have my dog on my lap. I have NEVER had an experience like this at any restaurant before. I was shocked. The server then stood over me until I physically put my dog on the ground before walking away from our table. My dog has always sat on my lap when out at restaurants and is very well behaved/never makes a sound. My poor dog was shaking like a leaf sitting on a cold tile floor not understanding why he was having to sit away from me, something he had never done before. I have never been treated SO poorly at a restaurant with my dog who I bring everywhere with me. If they don't like animals then don't allow them at the restaurant all together instead of harassing and bullying customers who bring them along. I will NEVER recommend this restaurant nor go back here. Awful place. read more

Food was fantastic! However our service was absolutely terrible! Our server Nick was so unbelievably rude and mean. He hardly went to our table. Every time we asked for more water or ANYTHING! He would rolled his eyes and mumbled something under his breath. Me and my family have been going to the Daily Grill for years but we have never experienced such a horrible mean server. So whoever is going to visit the Daily Grill in Palm Desert , do not have the server Nick. Food is amazing but that server we don't want to come back. read more

I used to used to enjoy going here. But today will be the last time. The food was not great at all. Definitely not worth what they're charging you. $20.00 for a plan Hamburger with a 1/4 cup of Coleslaw. The Burgers keep shrinking in size, Coleslaw used to be full of flavor and a bit of spice. I miss how good this place used to be. You always got a burger, fries and coleslaw that was flavorful. Also on the weekends you used to get complimentary monkey bread. Now you pay $6.00 for a piece that's smaller than a muffin. There's a lot of great places to eat nowadays, so why pay higher prices for mediocre food. read more

I really enjoyed my chicken pot pie today at the daily grill, delicious! The ambience was way better than I expected it to be, it has a pub vibe .. loved it and the service was friendly. I recommend. read more
