    On state route 29 before hotel 6
    Gvsrevws c.

    I wasn't in the mood for fast food when driving through 29palms when I seen this place. I walked in because there is no drive through. I ordered an Avocado omelet, biscuits n gravy with home fries. Absolutely delicious ! You get the whole Avocado not just 4 slices, Swiss cheese this time before I had pepper jack. Red potatoes for the home fries. Biscuits n gravy for sure a thumbs up! Service with a friendly smile and very outgoing. Recommend Absolutely! Place was clean. Thank you to the cooks!

    Denver Omelette

    This was our last stop in Twentynine Palms before heading back to Nevada. It was a great place to end our stay in the area. Walking in, it looked a bit like a fast food spot, but it is, in fact, a sit-down and order type restaurant. It also seems to have a good take-out option. We were greeted immediately upon entering and were invited to sit wherever we would like. Everything looked clean. Nothing fancy, but it felt welcoming and comfortable. I had a Denver Omelette with a side of hash browns and an orange juice. The omelette was good and nicely rolled with lots of ham and sweet green pepper and cheddar cheese. I had a side of English muffin. the only quibble was the hash browns could have been a little crisper and the muffin a little more toasted. I would definitely recommend this for a simple no-frills breakfast spot with friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food.

    cozy, clean, friendly, tasty

    My favorite place to have breakfast whenever I pass by on a road trip. Other people have mountains of interesting food on their plates, but I always get the breakfast special which is plenty enough for me to enjoy half in the restaurant and the other half a couple hours down the road.

    Just a traditional, tasty breakfast spot with reasonable prices and lots of selection! I really enjoyed my fluffy pancake with an over easy egg and sausage links. Can't get much simpler than that! Very friendly staff who come around for coffee refills.

    How are you going to raise your prices so much within a couple of months??? Last time I was there a burger was 8 or 9 dollars MAX. Now it's 12 dollars and some change just for a burger by itself! 15 dollars for a French dip by it's self!? What is going onnn :'(

    Pastrami Burger w added avocado
    Victoria D.

    It was my first time here and I was very happy with my meal and time here. I had the pastrami burger and it was delicious as well as the appetizer plate of two with Onion rings and fried zucchini. The service was very good too and I wish I could have tipped but tips are cash only so please remember to bring some cash with you. I would give 5 stars but would like to try more from the menu first

Our waiter, Andrew, spoke proudly about the impressive restaurants he had previously worked at -- I believe I even heard Nobu mentioned -- which raised our expectations for attentive hospitality. Sadly, that level of experience never really made its way to our table. Simple things like refilling waters, checking in, or asking if we'd like another cocktail never happened after our initial interaction. It genuinely felt like we were forgotten for most of the evening, which was disappointing considering the caliber of restaurant this aims to be. Thankfully, the food itself helped redeem the experience, and the rest of the staff we encountered were warm and pleasant. Because of that, we're willing to give it another try tomorrow and are hopeful for a better overall experience next time.

Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

It was tucked inside an inn, quiet, industrious, and straightforward like those eateries you find inside office buildings sometimes. The decor was warm in color, leaning confidently in Latin American style even without any tchotchkes or paraphernalia. I ordered the nachos locos con pollo and a Quesabirria taco. I definitely ordered too much more myself and ended up with leftovers. I was glad to have nachos with actual refried beans on them. I spent so long in Pennsylvania I was starting to get used to not having that option! The birria was pretty good and I ate the whole thing. Honestly that should have been all I ate but like I said...I was hongry. There was only one other couple in there and one door dasher when I was waiting for the food. Other than that, I was by myself on a Friday night. Not really a destination place, but it hits the spot.

The restaurant itself is simple and inviting, understated in the best way. We didn't have reservations, so we sat at the bar, despite several empty tables giving us that "maybe we could have gambled" feeling. Still, the bar turned out to be a good perch for the evening. Kristin, if I caught her name correctly, was running the universe behind that bar. Mixing drinks, serving dinner, managing patrons, and somehow still staying friendly through it all. Watching bartenders during dinner rushes always feels a little like witnessing Olympic-level multitasking. I was especially excited to order the hearts of palm cakes because hearts of palm were a staple in my childhood home. Sadly, they were out of them. A small heartbreak occurred. I survived bravely. Roadtrip mode had fully turned us into tapas people by then, so we ordered a spread of appetizers and a salad to share. The Inn's famous sautéed mushrooms absolutely deserved their reputation, buttery, garlicky, lemony little flavor bombs. The toasted ravioli with house marinara disappeared quickly, the beet and orange salad was fresh and balanced, and the falafel bites were tasty, though I personally would have loved them just a bit crispier. I enjoyed a couple of Old Fashioneds, and the live music that evening was genuinely excellent. The woman performing had one of those voices that makes you stop mid-bite for a second just to listen. Not bad company for dinner. The only thing I wish they'd improve is accessibility. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, but a bit more consideration for guests with mobility challenges would go a long way in making that peace more inclusive. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening. Good food, good music, strong cocktails, desert night air, and that slow-roadtrip feeling where nobody's in a hurry anymore.
