    Service was great the food was okay for me if your a marinera sauce fan you'll definitely love it here the pizza filled of it along with the sandwich too I just wasn't a fan as it took away from everything the pizza crust was nice crisp with lots of softness to it wish it was just town down on the marinera to get a balanced taste of everything oh yes and for the mini corn dogs one of them from the inside was cold but the breading was very hot just didn't reach the weenie unfortunately

    I went for the $10 Pizza  sale on Thursday got charge $12 more to add jalapeños Total of $22 dollars

    I went on Thursday for the $10 pizzas sale and ended up paying $12 more for adding Jalapeños on the pizza ! Pizza came out to be $22 the sad part was that I was dining-in and once me and my son finished the Pizza she hit me with the bill indicating the pizza was costing me $22 dollars "$12 more than what I expected for adding jalapeños" so I gave the waiter $7 tip letting her know they will never take my money again and will not expose myself to get discriminated again by them......

    This is the restaurant that you see just as you come up that hill.. right up at the top ... coming from Palm Springs .., you can feel the elevation suddenly and that can make you dizzy. I stopped here because I felt a tad dizzy coming up that hill and I had to stop for a minute, buy a bottled water and hope that hydration would fix it, It did ..,AND I discovered a really nice cafe with super nice people working there. Will be back ( one day )

    Staff super friendly and helpful, the food was good we got a BBQ burger and salad. Burger was overcooked making it a bit dry but it was tasty meat and the bacon was perfect, smoky abd crispy/chewy, and the homemade chips were awesome!

    We drove past the restaurant on our way to Joshua Tree for a little hike and once we saw the name we knew where we would be having lunch on our way back! What a great name-especially if you're as old as we are, lol. We stopped in, greeted and told to sit anywhere. The restaurant is small and super cute. Very clean and inviting. Our server came over for our drink order and gave us a minute to look at the menu. We all picked something different for lunch. I had the Italian grinder with potato salad- one of the best potato salads ever! It was so good and so big I couldn't finish it! My friends had a burger with potato salad and a black bean burger, he said the guacamole on that black bean burger was amazing, he had the homemade potato chips. At the end of our lunch the owner came out and chatted with us for quite a while. We loved him and his restaurant! I don't live in California but if I lived in the area this would for sure be a regular spot for me!

    Just had an amazing experience at this small-town grill! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere had that perfect cozy vibe. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    Love the pizza take out at Just A Small Town Grill in Morongo Valley but their dine in breakfast is over the top! After oozing over their menu for 5+ minutes I finally decided between 6 or 7 possibles. We'll be back to try the others! Breakfast service was efficient if not quite as down home friendly as the evening, pizza crew we're regularly spoiled by & it took a little while to get the breakfast but it was almost "too beautiful to eat" & was absolutely outstanding in all respects. You can't find fresher, better prepared & better presented food in the high desert. I'd love to see motorcycle & bicycle parking & outdoor seating.

    When to Just a Small Town Grill, today with my wife and daughter for lunch. I was amazingly surprised at the quality and quantity of the food. We started off with deep fried pickles they were amazing ! My daughter had the Antipasto Salad it was huge ! My wife had the Hawaiian Burger she couldn't stop saying how delicious it was. I had IPA with the Italian Grinder it was packed with meat and the feta vinaigrette added a great taste and the role was a specialty role they have wow ! We met Jim and Stacy the owners they are very welcoming and they gave us an order of Cauliflower Bites and they were delicious ! The feel of the place is truly inviting! Thank you Jim, Stacy and Vanessa for the great meal and service !

    breakfast.  eggs with holindaze sause,spinach,tomatoe on English muffin. biscuits and gravy and eggs with potatoes.

    Disappointed re visit. Food and service…read more Started badly because we weren't ready to order. It is a pet peeve of mine that people are asking you what you want to order when you have barely sat down and looked at the menu. So we asked the waitress if we could have a few more minutes and then she proceeded to ignore us about 15 mins. We were not asked if we wanted any water, but other tables seemed to have water. My boyfriend ordered the hamburger. On the menu it's just listed as a hamburger. There's no mention on the menu of what's actually on any of the burgers. He has to ask because he's lactose intolerant and cannot eat cheese. For some reason, the hamburger came with cheese, even though there was a cheeseburger on the menu, so I don't quite understand this. He was not asked how we would like the burger cooked either. He also ordered an orange juice. The menu did say small or large, but he didn't see that and she did not ask him and of course he was served a large orange juice, which was quite pricey. He also wanted some pickles on his burger, which was fair enough, but they charged a dollar for a few pickles. Just pickle slices not whole pickles. I ordered eggs and country potatoes and toast. The country potatoes were OK, but there was no peppers and onions in them, which I think is always nice. The breakfast was a little greasy. The coffee was OK. I had one refill. Overall, we were disappointed with the service and the food and we will not be back. It was night and day from the last visit when it was so lovely so not sure what's happened.

    Part I: Production of Service…read more The "three stars" overall rating: Room quality, features and amenities, hotel aesthetics--i.e., rugs and draperies, walls and furnishings, etc... Each team member receives "Five Stars" for their individual performances and hospitable behaviors towards fellow members, hotel patrons and guests in Food and Beverage Department. Mgr: Emery ***** Server: Madelyn ***** Bartender: Adam ***** I frequent this hotel and dine in their restaurant, twice a year. The restaurant personnel are consistently knowledgeable, helpful and ready to demonstrate a "call of duty" that measures beyond their employment and policy requirements to ensure that they establish the perfect environment to welcome you back, again, before you place an order to enjoy the food and drink experience. This type of customer service, interaction and behavioral skills management cannot be taught. Unfortunately, the customer service industry consists primarily of people who do not possess the inherent skills of retaining public relations---so when you experience this type of excellence---[Y]our duty as a consumer is to single-handily call "a person" or people out for their exceptional service performance towards you and your guest. My five-star ratings are based upon perfection. Ask for them by their names. Part II: Food Review [Five Stars] This visit I ordered their homemade waffles atop with strawberries and whipped cream (I requested on the side) I am not a "crispy waffle" person and it was made to taste the way I desired. When you have food servers like Madelyn and Adam--you come for the production service before customer satisfaction. The menu foods and beverages you will enjoy. Most people do not have high quality standards and therefore may not judge and review the food and service (the way I do) the way we should. Most patrons and hotel guests live to be served by others and perhaps judge their customer satisfaction on personal tastes and preferences with high standards for low prices and discount rates--without considering how they, consumers themselves may contribute to their own "good and bad" experience---deferring blame to the establishment and not their household. I have not interacted much with every hired employee, worker and contractor---moreover, you will always experience someone who doesn't enjoy their job, work or you. I advocate for good "paying guest" as well as good quality employees to serve and be served by me. Please share your experiences with me. I'll follow up and write about it. Good luck, Emery, Madelyn and Adam--I look forward to your customer service. P.S. Emery, I appreciate your service outside the hotel in the parking lot--checking on the safety and welfare of patrons are essential to establishing good relationships. I observed you without hesitation checking on patron welfare. Please continue managing the way you do.

    The pictures are deceiving. The front desk clerk was very inappropriate with us…read more Immediately upon entering the parking lot my friend and I were on high alert. It is run down and old. Entering the lobby, it smells like an old antique building, heavy mildew smell. The elevator smelled like body odor, you can tell the carpet is ruined and matted down from guests leaving the pool (not their fault) and standing on the carpet. The carpet in this place as a whole desperately needs to be taken out and replaced with flooring more appropriate for pool goers. The pool was lukewarm at best. There was never a point that the water was even cool, never comfortable to stay in very long. Biggest shock was that this place does not provide HAND SOAP. What do you mean you do not provide the most basic toiletries? My final complaint was the front desk concierge. He made several suggestive comments to my friend and I, at one point making a very lewd hand gesture while staring directly at me. Do not stay at this place if you care about basic needs met at a hotel.
