If you want some soul food or BBQ in Palm Springs, Brown's is the place to grab it. This looks like…read morean unassuming hole in the wall type of house, but you'll find some parking spots out front. The staff is nice and there are a few tables inside. It definitely seems to be family owned and full of love. My friend and I took our food to go and were super pleased with everything. We tried the tasty ribs, plump chicken, sweet potatoes, beans, potato salad - had a good variety of eats. My personal favorite and bias though was the Mac and Cheese. This some straight soul macaroni and cheese, prepared in casserole form and then you get a good sized chunk in the meals. The only thing I wasn't hot on was the cornbread as it was dry. But other than, loved all the components of the dinners. I'm hoping to do an annual trip to Palm Springs and I will surely be making Brown's BBQ and Soul Food a part of that. Next time : Getting those oxtails!

Everything was absolutely excellent! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, with just the right amount of tangy bbq sauce drizzled on the meats. Definitely try if you see the truck.

*Uncle D & Auntie V are Legit*…read more I take my BBQ & Brisket very seriously...and I'm thrilled Uncle D does too. So happy to stumble upon this lovely lively couple serving up their incredible BBQ food at the Palm Springs Art Museum commemorating & celebrating Juneteenth. Uncle D & Auntie V were so sweet & kind, they take their craft very seriously, and appreciate their customers. I had one of the BEST BBQ Brisket Sandwich's ever. And I've eaten & sampled my fair share. When I expressed I'm from LA and would drive all the way to Compton for the OG Bludso's BBQ & Brisket and Ribs with my BF, Auntie V's face lit up and says "I know it very well...and Darly is from Compton." When I told Uncle D, he expressed he knows Kevin Bludso personally...so I already knew I was in for a major brisket treat. After devouring my Sando in record time -- though I slowed down towards the end -- because I did not want it to end. I told my wife "I could eat 2 more of these." And speaking of which -- wifey's not too keen on BBQ like her hubby but can appreciate a great piece of quality meat. She took one bite (right smack in the middle -- which I suggested because it's the best bite :) and her response? "Oh my god...I could eat one of these." I've never heard her say that about BBQ Brisket. What makes Uncle D's Brisket so special? It's smoked & cooked overnight in a smoke-pit ~~ seasoned to perfection ~~ not fatty nor salty one bit...and don't get me started on the BBQ sauce that's not too thick & not too thin ~~ not too sweet & not too tangy ~~ it's simply perfection. And the bun too. This sandwich is so good you don't even need TEETH to enjoy because the mEAT is so soft & tender ~~ as perfect brisket should be. Following brisket consumption I went back to share my thoughts with D & V and when I said "not only is this one of the best I've ever had, it's better than Bludso's." D Looked me right in the eyes and softly said "really...seriously?" "Yes indeed" I said and he thanked me again. Then I told him "this section should be labeled: "The Art of Brisket" and D smiled at me so wide I can still see his happy face. Then we fist-bumped because he was wearing gloves but that Sando was so frickin' great I wanted to hug that cool bearded BBQ Master. Wifey had some of their Mac & Cheese and thought the noodles were cooked perfectly, it wasn't too cheesy & oily...and loved that it wasn't too salty. I took a bite and 2nd her notion. Checkout their website to find out where they'll be throughout the Coachella Valley. And make sure to confirm the location because their days & hours change during Summertime. Can't wait to find this hidden gem again...and next time I'm going to try their pulled pork and spare ribs too. And another Brisket sando or two :) {{{Big High Fives}}} {{{Fist-Bump & Hugs}}} Grandslam Huge Fan

I recently…read morehired Trevor to cater an 80th birthday champagne brunch, and he, along with his assistant Ethan, exceeded both my expectations and those of my guests. The food was abundant, delicious, and beautifully presented. The variety of choices was exceptional, and the made-to-order omelets were truly a highlight of the event. The wide selection of fresh ingredients allowed everyone to customize their omelet exactly to their liking. One especially thoughtful touch that impressed everyone was that, after placing an omelet order, the hot dish was personally delivered to guests wherever they were seated. Trevor and Ethan arrived promptly at 8:30 a.m. for my 11:00 a.m. party and immediately began preparing everything from scratch. They carefully cleaned and plated fresh fruit, arranged an assortment of breads, and created a stunning brunch display. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. At the end of the event, they left my kitchen spotless. My friends were so impressed that several are already planning a BBQ gathering just so we can have Trevor cook for us again!

The staff is also super friendly and are very thorough with checking the order so we got everything correctly. I could have guessed that they were really nice based on the communications via email that I had with them. I was super difficult with the requests and asked if they could do half portion of sides, etc and they accommodated everything... except the pork ribs. They don't know they they're getting them in so unless you're ordering a ton, they can't put that in your order. The standouts were the pork ribs and the tri tip. I would totally order from them again when I'm in the area, THANK YOU CV BBQ!

This place is seriously beautiful. It feels like a little oasis in the middle of the desert. The restaurant itself great, but the outdoor space is what really stands out--lush greenery, water features, waterfalls, and a really nice outdoor bar and seating area. It looks like it would be perfect for events, but also just a really solid date night spot. We went on a Saturday night and it wasn't overly crowded. We didn't have reservations and had no problem getting in. If you sit in the bar area, they have a great happy hour (inside or outside), and we got a couple dollars off our drinks. There's also a happy hour food menu, but we ended up ordering the carne asada nachos from the regular shareables menu and they were really good. What stood out the most, though, was the service. We recently moved here from the South, and I've honestly missed that warm, genuine hospitality. Our server completely delivered on that. I didn't catch her name, but she was a brunette working in the indoor bar area--super kind, always smiling, and made us feel really comfortable! She checked on us often without being overbearing and just had that natural, welcoming vibe that's hard to find. Food came out fast, everything was smooth, and overall it was just a really great experience. We'll definitely be back and already plan on recommending it to friends!
