The servers might not know your name, but I've never had a server that wasn't helpful and nice. Parking can be busy, but never difficult. So now the food. I've eaten here a lot over the years and I've never had a bad meal. The garlic fries are awesome and everything from burgers to salads and tacos, delicious. My sole complaint, some burgers are so tall it's impossible to eat them like a regular burger. So, this spot is a solid 5/5. Not crazy expensive, nice staff, good food, easy in and out. Give it a try.

*Tony the Burger Tiger*…read more In case you didn't know, Tony used to be the chef at Grill-A-Burger in Palm Desert...then 14 years ago, Antonio followed his dream & ambition to open up his own burger joint. Tho I haven't dined here before, I've made my presence known, and previously checked out the place to inquire ~~ more than once. I was blown away when Edgar remembered me...and thanked me & wifey for finally coming in for a little late-night dinner/snack. Wifey was craving onion rings...so whatever she wants she gets ~~ with limits that is ;) Since her favorite onion rings are 130 miles away in LA (Culver City) at Johnnie's Pastrami, we've been searching for a good back-up. Heard & read a lot of great things about their beer battered onion rings. We were not disappointed. Make sure to splurge and spend the extra 2 bucks for a full order instead of a half. Wifey enjoyed her mini burger...and it was the perfect size. The bun was fresh and held up well, which is always important. I went off the board and wanted just a simple plain burger patty, because I wasn't too hungry. But that's one of the best ways to judge quality. No bells no whistles. Just the beef...and a knife & fork. Like a good steak. It was tender & juicy and I was a very happy camper. h2O was all we needed on this night...and refills were fulfilled voluntarily. As expected, Edgar provided excellent customer service...and we all shared some playful banter throughout our dining experience. Tony's Burgers is a very chill & cozy place. It's darkly lit. There's lots of booths to sit comfortably...and lots of flatscreen tvs on the walls showing sports. There's a large bar area too with stools. I can see why this place is so popular with the locals. Looking forward to our next visit. {{{Big~High~5}}}

While in the Palm Springs area for a 5 day visit with my wife and my mother-in-law, I made it a…read morepoint to visit a couple of Filipino restaurants. With a recent expansion to their space in Cathedral City, this location has become a gathering place for Filipinos in the Coachella Valley area. Thus we went out of our way to find this place for dinner. I found it to be mixed, and can't really recommend their food. It's a nice space inside, with a fast casual setup (order and pay first, and the food is brought to you when ready). It wasn't particularly friendly when we first arrived to the empty restaurant, but it got better as we ordered and ate. Cheesesteak Philly Style ($15.99) and Apong's Special Philly Style ($16.99). They come with fries, with an upcharge of $1 for cheese. Both had grilled mushrooms and onions mixed with the chopped steak. The Apong's special adds both cheese whiz and american cheese to the standard provolone. Both are served on Amoroso rolls from Philadelphia, which is genuine, but not particularly fresh when brought in daily. (the rolls tasted a bit stale to me). The amount of meat given could induce a hungry person to order a double portion as well, though it was just right this day. I definitely like my cheese steak with cheese whiz, and this version confirmed that (though if not offered, a good dallop of mayo is good as well, mixed with the melted provolone). Strangely, the showstring fries were the most disappointing part of the meal for me...fries can be good if the right effort is made, but that wasn't the case here. They had been deep fried a while before, and had been sitting in a warmer until served to us...thus were dried out and pretty flavorless. With what we ordered, a new batch of freshly made fries would have gone a long way to put us in a good mood, especially for dine-in. Chicken Mami Soup ($14.99) - a large bowl of chicken soup. For this price, would have hoped for something more homemade. The broth was fine, but seemed to be made from either canned chicken broth (benefit of doubt) or more likely chicken powder. Also used dried spaghetti noodles, which is not something I seek out. It did have pieces of white meat (breast) and fresh chopped vegetables like cabbage and carrots. Tasted fine, but wasn't particularly hearty. Reminded me very much of saiman, except for the price. Halo-Halo ($14.99) - it was good. Few beans (which is often used as filler), but instead large pieces of sweet plantains. It also had plenty of condensed milk and two large scoops of ice cream (both ube and vanilla). Used crushed ice, instead of shaved, which does make a big difference in consistency, but understand it's harder to do since time consuming. Apong means grandmother in Ilicano, which is the third most spoken native language in the Philippines, after Tagalog and Cebuano. The owners and workers seemed to be originally from that region; and it's really nice to use such a nice term of endearment for their endeavor.

But now and again, you want to try someplace and something new. It's that comfort knowing what you like and expect so you won't be disappointed. Well, the good and trusty friend called Yelp. We found this place and decided to give it a try. It's located in the Date Palm Country Club community. Just along Date Palm before the bridge and before you reach downtown Cathedral City. It's maybe a 2 minute drive after you enter the gate. First off, it's part of the country club which we found out while we were there that it's a 55 and older community. Restaurant is next to the club house and pool area. There's a decent amount of parking along the side as well as main lot. We stopped by around 7pm for dinner. Didn't make reservations but walk in. There had to be something going on as when we walked in, the place was packed. We came in through the back area where the patio and bar was. Even the bar area was packed. At first we didn't know where to go until one of the patron mentioned to us that we may need to check in with the hostess at the front entrance. I love that everyone was so friendly. And let me say, it was lively and pretty packed. Both the restaurant side and bar were packed as there was a party happening at one of the table. We were seated at one of the tables in the main dining area but it was a little too loud for us which we were then guided to the bar area and seated at the counter.It was fine. These guest can party...lol... It does cater to the mature guest which they were the greatest. I feel like a lot of the patrons are residents but chatting with some of the others in the bar area, they do get a lot of locals stopping in for a meal and drinks. Main dining room was packed with diners and people dancing as there was entertainment. Plus the music choice was excellent as well as the singer. Bar was no different, it was packed. We were seated at the bar counter which was pretty packed just as well. Menu, it was a mixture of everything and the price was very affordable. It did take a while to be taken cared of which was expected with everything going on. Bartender did acknowledge us at least we knew we were seen. For dinner, we ordered the chopped wedge but was brought out the Caesar salad instead. We did mentioned to the bartender which she did take it back to the kitchen. Entrees, the chicken Parmesan served with spaghetti and zucchini. Chicken was good, nothing wow but tasty. Pasta was decent but the sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Overall it was fine. Also the carbonara was ordered. That comes either the small portion or large. We opted for the small. Decent size bowl with bacon and peas in a rich cream sauce. Overall, I've had better. Flavor was fine but nothing major to rave about. Halfway through the meal, you could see how greasy the dish was. Given there's cheese but it was greasy. As there was a birthday happening, the host did bring out cake for everyone which was very sweet. The crowd was pretty lively and sweet. Everyone was so friendly enjoying their drinks and meals. It did look like it was the residents but we did noticed that a lot of the patrons at the bar counter were locals. For the price it's very good. Food was decent, service was ok but the staffs were amazing and very friendly. There was little glitch twice with the alarm during dinner but it did get situated. Overall we enjoyed ourself.

Wait time was about 10 minutes for a party of two, shorter than our estimated weight time. We got the German pancake and their famous potato cakes. The pancake was very generously portioned, and a nice mix of savory and sweet with the bacon and eggs providing a nice contrast. The potato cakes were crunchy and the green onions were a nice touch. The interior was reminiscent of an old time diner, with lots of black and white pictures in the wall providing a nostalgic vibe. Prices are quite reasonable, so definitely worth a stop by.

SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

I ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was really good. The eggs were perfectly poached, the salmon was generous, and the hollandaise was creamy without feeling too heavy. I also liked that it came with fresh berries on the side, which made the whole plate feel a little lighter. We also shared the bread and cheese board, and surprisingly, the pear with the date spread was probably one of my favorite bites. The pear was crisp and fresh, and that sweet, rich date spread was seriously addictive. I kept going back for more. The bread, nuts, cheese, and other little bites on the board made it really fun to share. The drinks were refreshing too, and the presentation was beautiful without trying too hard. Definitely one of those places where I'd come back with friends for a slow weekend brunch. The food was good, but the charming patio and overall vibe were probably my favorite part.

For $69, we have amuse bouche, free bread sticks, appetizer, main dish and a dessert. The portion is generous! For amuse-bouche, we had quiche and bacon on top. It is not the usual bacon. It tasted like Vietnamese beef jerky... quite a surpise! For appetizer, we had gazpacho and beet salad. Both are very refreshing and perfect for summer time. For main dish, steak and chillean seabass. For desserts, we had tiramisu and cheese cake. Everything is perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. I have not had one bad dish here!

She even went back into the kitchen to gather additional condiments. Once again, the tabletops were clean, and they have a large dining area with tables to accommodate larger groups. FOOD: I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger Combo, which came with fries or rings, and a soda. The price was reasonable, and the burger itself was very tasty, the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the bun was better than last time (didn't get soggy). Fries came out hot, but not too crisp. Unfortunately, no bleu cheese dressing was available to dip my fries in. Overall, the service was good, and the food was decent, especially the burger.
