    Lemongrass potstickers

    Our 19th hole was here after a round of golf at PGA West Pete Dye Stadium course. Choice of indoor or outdoor seating. We chose indoors. Ordered - * I had the candied bacon beef hot dog with sweet potato fries - I requested my hot dog be butterflied which the kitchen complied. The bacon strips were cut into pieces and lathered onto the bun. I highly recommend this item. * hubby had bowl of chili. He liked. * sis had the lemongrass pot stickers. Small appetizer which she liked. * BIL had the giant pretzel. He doesn't drink beer but this would be great with a glass of ice cold beer. Wide variety of appetizers, sandwiches, and heavier plated food. Located onsite. Friendly service.

    We enjoyed a delicious lunch today at Ernie's Bar & Grill in PGA West at the Nicklaus Stadium course in La Quinta. It was a very busy day at the course there was a tournament but that didn't slow down the excellent service and fantastic food. The outdoor patio is unbelievable with views of the Nicklaus 18th green and the Palmer 9th green. We ordered fish and chips, a Patty Melt and Ernie's Cobb salad. Jose was our friendly professional waiter he was super. I'm not a member here wish I was, it's all 5 star

    Patio dining area by Nicklaus Tournament course overlooking 9th & 18th.

    Go for the golf course view! Breakfast is better than lunch, both in terms of value and quality. We have a vacation home within walking distance and love the ambiance but find the food (lunch) to be mid, and breakfast is mid-fine. Drinks are pricy.

    We love the setting at Ernie's which overlooks the PGA West golf course. Service is always great at the bar, but not so much elsewhere. We usually have to request flatware or plates. The Rueben is killer and I tried the pizza today. It's pretty good, crispy crust and spicy. Not as good as Billy Q's but the setting compensates for that!

Everything about Big Rock Pub is great. The visuals immediately capture you as you walk in, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the start. The service staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and the drinks made by the bartender were excellent. The food did not disappoint either. We started with the garlic parmesan wings, which were incredibly flavorful and a great way to begin the meal. Next, we had the Caesar salad and the BBQ chicken pizza. The Caesar salad portion was huge, easily enough for two people and probably even enough to share among four. The BBQ chicken pizza was absolutely delicious and a standout dish for us. I want to give a special shout-out to Carlos and the food runner working tonight. He was very friendly and made a point to check on us as he passed by to make sure everything was good. In my opinion, that kind of attentiveness is what separates average service from seasoned food and beverage professionals. For dessert, we ordered the churros, which had an amazing filling that instantly hooked us. Our 3- and 5-year-old also enjoyed their kids' meals, and the fact that each kids' meal includes a sundae was a great touch. We can't wait to return, this is definitely a spot worth trying

Unfortunately, there is one issue that has gotten to the point where it makes us question whether we want to continue dining here: the lack of adequate air conditioning. This is the desert. Customers should not have to sit through a meal uncomfortable and sweating while fans are being used as a temporary solution. At this point, the owner really needs to invest in properly repairing or replacing the A/C rather than continuing to rely on fans for a second season. This restaurant clearly has a loyal customer base, and we are part of it. We WANT to keep coming back. But customers are also paying for an enjoyable dining experience, and being comfortable inside the restaurant--especially during desert summers--is a pretty basic expectation. The employees are wonderful and shouldn't have to work in those conditions either. Please invest in fixing the A/C. Your staff and your loyal customers deserve it.

You might think that sounds crazy but it all works and it's delicious. The other one I've had is the Vegeta or Fragita? which has green Ortega chili strips, melted Jack cheese and a bunch of other great stuff. We also have the michelada aquachile as an appetiser. I'll tell you it's one of the best ones I've ever had in any restaurant! The staff is always friendly. It's huge. There's TVs everywhere so you can catch whatever game you want. This is in the rotation going forward!
