This place never misses. The brainfreezes with coke and a different burger is always my go to, they have so many burgers and never disappoint. Donna as always was amazing and provided us with the best customer service we could've asked for. If you come to palm desert you definitely need to try this place. read more

We decided to try our Grill A Burger on Mothers Day this year. I knew birders would be a hit with my teens and husband, and my goal was an easy, delicious meal where everyone can get a good meal they love. This place delivered. The selection is insane. There is truly something for everyone. They let you customize whatever you choose as well. We each loved our burger. They were MASSIVE. I will say, the toppings are what made the burgers stand out. The meat itself was a bit plain and we all agreed we'd like it better of the meat was a bit more seasoned. They have a variety of fries to choose from as well as dipping sauces. We got the regular fries with garlic ketchup and loved it. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a tropical theme, which was fun. We all want to come back and try different burgers since there are so many options! Highly recommend. read more

Place was way overpriced and smelled like a bucket full of old vomit and mop water. Hard pass read more

We had the classic hamburger and one with blues cheese and bacon, classic fries and yam fries. All was good except the hamburger meat was disappointingly subpar, dry, mealy, not even a beef taste and odd tasting poor quality beef. Fries were good. They have a large menu with many options so we can only comment on the items we had. Service and atmosphere were very nice. We may return but certainly not for the hamburger unless we hear they have significantly improved the beef quality. read more

This place was great! I was craving a good burger I chose to try this place. I didn't get a good burger, I got a GREAT Burget!!! Atmosphere was fun, service was great.. l.. people were friendly and it was much more than a drive thru burger. This is a win for me. Clean and neat and had patio seating for those nice days read more

I am always searching for a huge and delicious hamburger. My favorite still remains the 1/2 lb from Fatburger. Alas, I have to drive 50 miles up the 10 to get one. Grill-a-Burger comes pretty close. 6 oz patties, 12 oz for the double. Cooked exactly medium rare as requested. I put a lot of pepper on it to simulate Fatburger and it was wonderful. Fries were good too. Service was great, constant refills for my diet coke. Price was high, but that's not really their fault. Will be back. read more

Grill-A-Burger - Breakfast hotdog with egg - Burgers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

greta garbo: turkey burger in lettuce with tomatoes, onion, pickles - delicious, burger was moist, veggies were fresh #20 au poivre: dijon mustard, crushed peppercorns, swiss cheese, bacon - delicious combination and well executed, would be improved by less bready bun, top removed and much better but messy 50/50: fries & onion rings - huge serving, onion rings were addictive, fries were a little soggy though flavorful Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance is funky, fun - not sure exactly how to describe but a little TIKI but with gorillas? A solid choice and very popular while we were there. Hankering for a burger? It's a good choice. read more

CS is excellent, love the ambiance, Hawaiian Decor inside is interesting. Burgers are BIG, but you can order Mini Burgers and half order of their fries. Their fries are cut fresh daily, taste is phenomenal. The Burgers are SUPERB, done to perfection, the Buns taste like homemade that day, all condiments are fresh and tasty. Only suggestion I have is on the Garlic Fries don't used minced out of a jar. We will be back! read more

Everything about this place was great. The vibe, the cleanliness, the staff and food. My friends and I got the OMG Burger. And OMG is it good! It had a thick beef patty, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, a huge onion ring and a special mayo. One burger is big enough to share. We also got Parmeasan Fries and the best ever Cookies and Cream hand made milk shakes. It was once on that Diners, Drive-in and Dives show. I can see why. Such good food. read more

Found this gem via Guy Fieri and could not stop smiling once we entered! This tiki-decorated burger joint has got massive aura. Also the burger names kept making me laugh - they remind me of Bob's Burgers! I ordered the #11 Great Eggspectations. I am not exaggerating when I say that I think this is the best. burger. I've. ever. had. I don't even like hamburgers or any type of sandwich but I SCARFED this big boy down in 5 minutes. The patty is so well-seasoned, JUIIICY, and cooked to a perfect meat temp. The chili cheese fries were traditional tasting and the perfect compliment to this meal - recommend! Give this spot a try! So glad to have found it on my last night in greater Palm Springs! read more

Holy moly!! Delish- fast, friendly and amazing service. One order of fries took care of all of us. Huge regular burgers Glad I ordered a mini burger. Loved it Cute place with outdoor seating as well read more

Good. Nice service. Bad. Burger was medium well and I ordered rare. I ate part of it only. Tasted like sawdust. And they accidentally left off the blue cheese which I love. My sister said the restaurant used to be good so keep an open mind and try it again. I doubt we will. There were 5 of us and 3 of us didn't like what we had. read more

Sooo good! Great burger and the nicest most helpful people! We just moved here and they were so helpful suggesting other places etc! We definitely will be back! read more

Food was mid, so giving 3-stars based on service and environment. Came on a Thursday night, parking was easy, no wait to be seated and waiter was very attentive. Burger looked great but meat was dry and full of nerves. Prob wouldn't try it again. read more

Average burger and fries. Nothing special. The burger tasted good but there was too much salt and random seasonings. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. Our service was good, not a lot of service once we received our burgers. We wanted to order more but no server around. We had fries and they were tasty and fresh. The restaurant eating area was pretty dirty with nobody keeping tables or floors clean. We were disappointed with the dirty restroom. Old urine smells and these smells permeated out into the dining room. read more

If you're in the mood for a burger and fries, look no further. So many delicious combinations, it's hard to choose. And they will sub any burger for a well-made impossible burger (for two-fifty). They also have a gluten-free bun and several other bun and bread options. I had the Hollywood Brown Durby minus bacon and loved it. Others tried the Pancho Villa and the Hawaiian and the Patty melt and ate every bite. The fries are plentiful and we had tons left over. The avocado fries were also yummy. Really. You can't go wrong. But, it adds up price wise. read more

Grill-A-Burger definitely delivers on flavor and portion size--come hungry, because the servings are HUGE. I ordered the Ricky Ricardo Babaloo burger and it was massive--stacked high, packed with flavor, and honestly delicious. That said, it was definitely on the heavy side (almost too much), so maybe not the best choice if you're looking for something lighter. The fries were absolutely bomb--crispy, well-seasoned, and addicting. My husband got the Ohh La La burger and really liked it. He also mentioned it was super rich and filling, but in a good way. Service was solid--friendly and efficient--and the overall vibe was casual and fun. Great spot for a big, indulgent burger fix. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy the parking plaza was tight and hard to navigate. The restaurant has a lot of seating inside and outside. I had to wait about 5 min and was able to be seated. Be ready they ask for your drink order the minute you are seated. The service here is just okay they seem to be in a rush and gave me a panicked feeling that I needed to be rushed too. The menu is HUGE like 7+ pages long so I needed some time looking at it but the server came by and told me "are you ready because we are really busy if not you're going to have to wait". Of course I was not ready because I had to comb through 8 pages of a textbook font menu... it was not a relaxing environment. When I eventually got a chance to order I got the devils revenge burger, chili cheese fries, full order of lord of the rings, and garlic aioli. Like the server said the food took a while to come out 20+ mins so be ready to wait. The devils revenge burger was good but the meat was a bit dry and the buns were terrible. The buns were too dense and not edible I ended up tossing it. Makes sense when I got seated I noticed many customers tossing the buns. It was not spicy it just had a little kick. The chili cheese fries were good not too salty and the cheese was heavy and gooey. I just wished the fries were crispier they were a bit soggy. The onion rings were fresh hot and delicious the portion size for a full was really small though. The garlic aioli was delicious and you could definitely tastes the garlic. Overall for the expensive price point, rushed ambience, and mediocre food I don't think it's worth it. read more

We recently went to Grill A Burger again and the food was outstanding. We love the Tiki Hut vibe too. Service was great as the staff offered good suggestions. We had a burger, hot dog, fish tacos and a half order of French fries for the three of us. We would go back soon to try other things on the large menu. read more

Definitely a must try... First time here and it was delicious. The staff is super excellent. Everyone in there was super friendly. This place is set up to relax and enjoy a burger and an ice cold drink. It's really fun and exciting to eat a meal here. Will definitely return on my next trip to Palm Springs. read more

What a HUGE disappointment. Had wanted to come here for several years and was really looking forward to this. When we walked in, we were told that we could sit inside our outside - we chose outside due to the overwhelming small of Fabuloso. We had a choice of a table next to a trashcan or next to the spilled milkshake both bascially in the parking lot. We chose the second. When we sat, the female server gave us a dirty look. Our server (male) came out and tended to us the rest of the time - which apparantly upset him. He was not friendly and it came off as that he was upset that we were there. The food was not flavorful at all. I asked for a side of ranch (which tasted like HV bottled - not homemade) and that didn't help the flavor. Though the menu was large, it didnt' equate to flavorul. Service was almost non-existant. When we were leaving, nobody even thanked us - the female server just ignored us as we walked by. Not friendly and not tasty. We ended up at Shake Shack the next day to fulfill our burger craving and WOW, what a difference! Go to Shake Shack if you want a good burger! read more

Have been passing by this place for years now and finally decided to try it. Overall 6/10 the burger patty was well cooked but the bun itself had almost no toast and disintegrated in your mouth when you take a bite. Very heavy handed on the mustard ketchup and mayo, which showed on the soggy bun. The 50/50 fries and onion rings were okay, but covered in grease I couldn't enjoy it. The date shake was also very good but super chunky! A few more seconds in the blender and it would have been perfect. Service was lovely she was very punctual and had a southern sweetness to her. The ambiance inside is great but way too crowded and Smokey from all the cooking. Overall would rate this place 6.5/10, but would most likely head to in n out if I wanted a quality burger instead of here. read more

Visited this Triple-D reviewed restaurant. The place was busy on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately, and the waitstaff was always available. Interesting decor based on the Gorilla theme. Nice selection of beers. My partner had the Tuscany burger, which is perfect for garlic lovers. I had the SoCal Style Fish and Chips, which was excellent. Large menu, with a huge array of burgers. read more

They have a big menu with lots of crazy names and fun options with unique flavor combinations. We got a plate of avocado fries that were nice big chunks of avocado fried with dipping sauces. Everyone got shakes that were debatably the best out of all the shake store we made in our road trip because they were dense and nearly ice cream. Plus they bring out the extra in a metal cup which is the sign of a great shake. So ultimately it ends up being 2 shakes! The burgers were big and great and I loved the option of the mini burgers. I appreciated all the memorabilia on the walls to the bathroom as well. I got a sense for the feeling of accomplishment that the owner (s) have in their business which is always inspiring to see. read more

Food was excellent! Service was great, and attentive. We could have visited a few more times, I just don't want to eat out that often. Fish tacos, spicy burger, great fries and onion rings. I'm wishing them all the best, and plan to return in the future. FYI - we did take out, and everything was still hot when we got home !!! Big plus. read more

I was not impressed. We were seated and ended up having to flag someone down to place an order. It was frustrating watching people that came in after us being helped. Anyway, the burgers are severely overpriced and have absolutely no seasoning. The only thing I could taste was the red onion. I ended up adding mustard, thousand inland dressing and salt to get some (little) flavoring. Fries - we ordered the trifecta which is overrated. I don't understand the hype and I definitely won't be going back. read more

Just had dinner. Place was empty but we ate early tonight. I had a hot dog with cheese and coleslaw it was very good. My wife had a cheeseburger which she said was excellent.

Decent burgers and sides overall. I ordered the "Devil's Revenge" and asked for extra spice, but what came out was a very nice-looking burger with almost no heat at all. The two patties were on the thin side and fell apart after a few bites. I ended up drowning it in the tableside Tapatio just to get a little kick. On the plus side, the service was warm and attentive, and the facilities were clean. It's not a bad spot to swing by if you're in the area, but nothing about it really stood out. For a place with "Burger" in the name, I expected a bit more. read more
