My husband and I came here while on vacation (after spending the day in Joshua Tree National Park). We chose it based on the good reviews and it lived up to expectations. We started with the fries, which stayed nice and crispy (I suggest you follow the server's recommendation and get the habanero sauce so you can double dip in that and the ketchup). I had the delicious Dank House salad. It sounded like an odd combination of flavors (with Brussels sprouts, beets, apples, blue cheese and horseradish dressing) but it all works! Genius! My husband had the rotating chicken sando which was Korean bbq inspired and had amazing flavor! We also had a couple of the local beers on tap. It's kind of a quirky place. Has a little bit of a diner feel on the inside but had a DJ playing music on Saturday evening, which provided some good background music and added to the ambiance without being too loud. The bartender and servers were all very friendly and helpful. If we lived here, this would be a weekly hang out spot for us!

I was really hoping that when the food finally gets to us, it's right and at least warm. That would definitely warrant another star. Nope.

Have to give credit where credit is due. They redid the drive through and it did improve things…read more.. Slightly. They added another drive through lane and it did make ordering and going through the drive through itself more efficient. However, they did not address the staffing issues that plague this location. So, while it is easier and more efficient to order your food in the drive through, they still don't seem to have the staff to get orders out as quickly as they should. So, the renovations have improved the drive through time overall, but it's still slow. The employees are always friendly and helpful. They also renovated the exterior and interior of the building and it looks nice.

This is my new favorite fast food burger joint. The garlic burger is something I highly recommend…read more I added lettuce tomato and onion. The bun was soft and garlicky. The tallow fried tater tots were so crispy and had that slight beef flavor. You must add their fry seasoning on top. Sad that this location is so far from me. It's a reasonable price for the quality. This cost a little over 8 dollars? Next time I would get the double.

Great service! Order at the counter and they bring it out…read more We went mid afternoon after hiking so it wasn't busy. The place has a hotel restaurant vibe. But that's where it ends. The food was fabulous! I had the mole enchiladas. The sauce was so good! Standard rice and refried beans come with it. I also ordered the bacon -wrapped jalapeno. It was filled with cheese. Yummy! My husband had the carnitas tacos plate, loved! They had a couple bottles of Laguna's IPA that we enjoyed with the meal. Really good and reasonably priced.

Not only was the staff fun and friendly, evident by not only the great service we received but also by the interactions with the other customers (hard to miss in the quaint space), but the food we ordered were tasty - not to mention noticeably affordable with GENEROUS servings.

Will definitely come back next time we're in town after a visit to the national park!

After the drive from Saguaro National Park to Twentynine Palms, we were ready for something light…read moreand landed at John's Place. We kept it simple, a couple of salads with a cup of chili on the side. Sometimes simple is exactly right. The salads were fresh, crisp, and actually satisfying, not the sad afterthought kind. And the chili? Genuinely delicious. Rich, comforting, and good enough that I took the rest to go so I could upgrade the next morning's hotel breakfast. No regrets there. The space is casual and lively, nothing fancy, but it has a welcoming energy that makes you want to stay a bit. It was busy when we arrived, always a good sign, and the service matched the vibe. Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. All in, a really nice stop. Fresh food, warm service, and exactly the kind of place you're glad you found after a long stretch on the road.

OK, so this is confusing - there are 2 pages on Yelp that are for The Dez, and there are indeed two…read morelocations, but it seems like people are just reviewing wherever they are reviewing for either location (they are like, steps from each other). ANYWAY. We have been here a couple of times - will usually stop by here when we're in Joshua Tree. On Saturdays, there is a Farmer's Market in the parking lot, so it gets pretty crowded. This last time we went, I got an iced strawberry matcha, and my partner got the chai iced tea. Both with almond milk. They still charge a surplus for non-dairy, which feels so 2022. But anyway. The drinks were delicious. We also got an almond croissant, which doesn't look like much, but it was AMAZING. And then the quiches. Oh, the quiches. I had such high hopes for these, especially since we were primed with refreshing drinks and a tasty pastry. These quiches are muffin-sized, perfect for a light meal or a heavier snack, and they look super cute. They will heat them up for you. When we went, they had bacon cheddar and spinach feta. We got one of each. My friends, these were so disappointing. First, no flavor. We asked for ketchup or hot sauce to give it a bit of acid, because it was basically egg all the way through. Solid wall of egg that tasted like the powdered egg you get at one of those corporate conference catered breakfasts. I had one tiny sliver of bacon in mine, and my partner was playing hide and seek with the spinach, and the spinach was winning. The crust itself was rubbery and chewy, not flaky like I would expect a quiche to be. I mean, it was palatable and not super expensive. I'm just not sure if you're selling food, you want it to just be "palatable". Last time, we got a savory veggie pie, and that was pretty good, so they DO have good savory foods. I think the quiches were just a huge miss this time. Bathroom is clean and single-stalled. Parking is easy in the lot, and on Farmer's Market days, I mean, c'mon, it's Joshua Tree, it's not like there isn't space on the streets too.

Located next to the JT visitor center west entrance and about 5 miles from the park entrance. We arrived to this small local place just as they were opening at 7:30 am and they had breakfast sandwiches being made, mostly with bacon, egg and cheese but they'll make you sausage or other variation as well. They also have a good selection of other breakfast items like hard boiled eggs, cheese, fruits, yogurt parfait, salad and deli lunch sandwiches. Additionally they sell various hot and cold drinks, organic JT coffee beans that they'll grind for you, salty and sweet snacks, California dates and roadrunner t-shirts. Prices are not cheap but comparable to other similar places and Starbucks. We appreciated the friendly staff. The breakfast sandwich was delicious, though it did take a bit to make.

Delicious food but customer service is off. At least in my experience, and I've been here three to…read morefour times. Every time, the folks behind the counter don't really say hello or greet (most) customers. With me they usually just kind of stare. I realize not everyone communicates in the same way. But no matter who is working, same thing. I'm usually the first one to say something - like anything. During a recent visit, the cashier didn't even finish my transaction before going back to what they were doing for the customer in front of me (who the cashier seemed to know). Again, no communication. Now, I don't need to have a full conversation with every person on staff. But the overall customer service isn't inviting or very present here. Not for everyone, anyway. So even though the sandwiches, salad, and cookies are tasty, I can't honestly recommend this place. There are other delicious grab and go options in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, or 29 Palms that are much more friendly.

But we were running late headed back to AZ and figured a mediocre sub would be better than a dinner at home at 9:00 PM. So we stopped in. My husband had a BMT and I had the spicy Italian. Both subs were excellent. The bread was fresh, the cold cuts were plentiful and the sandwich artist made our subs with exactly the veggies we wanted. Absolutely delicious subs and my husband said the customer service was excellent. We will stop in again the next time we are in the area.
