I'm not a big pancake fan. I'll usually go with a waffle or French Toast but seeing the pancakes on other tables as we walked to our table, something said I had to try them. And they did not disappoint! Wow! Seriously, not a pancake fan, but these were great! I ordered a side of sausage patties, another breakfast item I prefer over sausage links, and they were also very tasty. The place was busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday late morning. I'm sure Sundays are PACKED! The service was top notch and friendly. I'm not always in this area for breakfast, but if I am, this just might be my next go to. read more

If you're in Indio and looking for a solid breakfast/lunch spot, Sloan's Restaurant is definitely worth the stop. From the moment we sat down, the service stood out. The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing--my coffee and water were constantly refilled without even having to ask, which always makes a difference. I ordered the BLTA along with their German pancake. The BLTA was exactly what you want--crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado, all put together on toasted bread, and paired perfectly with seasoned fries. Now the standout: the German pancake. Just a heads up--it takes about 15-20 minutes to come out, but it's 100% worth the wait. It's served hot, puffed up, and finished with powdered sugar and lemon. Light, slightly crisp on the edges, and soft in the middle--really well done. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Last day here and we were debating between Lala's and this place. Lala's was good and we didn't wanna risk it and the last place we eat here was subpar. Well thank goodness we tried this place because for me, it was better than Lala's. To keep it a fair review, I had the chicken and waffle at both places. Lala's was okay. 3.5 stars. This place is almost a perfect score. 4.5 stars. This place has a chicken breast versus Lala's chicken strips. Chicken here has better seasoning and taste fresh (4 stars)But the star of the show is the waffle. Perfect blend of crispy and thick, but stiff fluffy (4.5 stars). The syrup is the icing on the cake, sweet and just like some good syrup should taste like. 5 stars on the syrup, this place reminds me of Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. Comes pretty close. Also had a side of pancake and it was delicious. 5 stars Family had the below but can go too much in details on flavor -country fried steak 4 stars -Sante fe omelette 4 stars -waffle 4.5 stars -Pepsi 5 stars -sausage 4.5 stars -biscuit & gravy 3 stars Over all, recommend this place read more

I've been on a bit of a diner kick lately and decided to stop in to Sloans for an early breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Typical diner vibes. It's cozy, dated yet welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Located in the city of Indio, it's not hard to miss off of the busy highway 111 strip. We were seated right away and service was friendly and attentive. The staff seemed to share the responsibilities well as everyone was helping to keep glasses filled, tables cleared and our food came out reasonably quick despite the restaurant being busy. Prices are comparable to any chain diner type spot. The menu was large so there are plenty of options to pick from. They also had weekly specials and happy hour prices if you are looking for some deals. They have a full bar. I'd say the food was somewhere about a 3.5 out of 5. Run of the mill, okay breakfast options. The German pancakes were pretty good. Not the best in the desert but the spot we usually go is across town, so definitely was happy to find a good German pancake closer to home. Skip the eggs Benedict. While the concept of the Baja Benedict was good in theory, they couldn't execute the basics. The eggs were lukewarm and the English muffin was raw/almost no warmth to it. Wouldn't get again. Some missed here and that's just the way it goes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keeping the service in mind and enjoying the overall comfortable atmosphere of the spot, bumping up to a 4/5 stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Came here for breakfast on Thanksgiving day. This was one of the few places open and had good reviews. Server helped us get a table immediately. Food came out fairly quickly. I got the breakfast burrito which comes with rice and beans. Kids got the Nutella & strawberry crepe and wife got the Santa Fe omelette. The portion sizes were generous. Everything tasted good and the service was friendly. Overall had a good experience. read more

I came here with a friend and enjoyed! The service is top notch and they keep the hot, fresh coffee flowing! I really enjoyed that perk since a lot of breakfast spots that serve coffee don't refill or offer coffee as consistently and frequently as Sloan's. They also scored high with their food. It was served hot and fresh and seemed to be made to order which was great! I ordered a skillet which had bacon, ham and sausage. The skillet was filling and delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was decent and was like a typical casual style restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hopefully I can get back to Sloan's soon! Love that coffee!! read more

My friends, family, & I have visited Sloan's many times, & the service has consistently been exceptional. Based on the comment regarding "border patrol" that is now taken down, the negative reactions seemed to stem more from personal opinions about border patrol dining there rather than any actual issue with the quality of the food or service. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but this is a business at the end of the day, & businesses serve all members of the community. My experience at Sloan's has always been positive, welcoming, & professional. The food is closest to a home cooked meal. I personally don't like pancakes BUT Sloan's pancakes are the only ones I'll eat. All in all, I'll continue to support Sloan's read more

Honestly the best thing we experienced here was their pricing of the breakfast special. Which the price made sense considering the experience. The food was generic nothing about the pancakes or eggs was fluffy and unfortunately mid way thru my hash browns I had noticed there was a fly on my plate. Which the waitress did take back begrudgingly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I often like to think that a breakfast place should feel like home especially if that is what is advertised.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When walking into an establishment early morning the worst thing is having my meal interrupted by inconveniences such as these.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In the future when I think of breakfast with my family unfortunately Sloan's will not be on our mind. read more

Been here twice when visiting in-laws. Food is so good, and great portion size. Has always been worth the wait.

Came this local little family breakfast spot along join some peaceful time in the desert. Just a heads up it does get busy on a Sunday morning as the usual for breakfast spots that are good. After about a 20 minute wait so we got our table we seated fast and our waitress was prompt to take our order and get us drinks to our table. Now onto the food. This is some good old American old-fashioned diner/restaurant quality food .. the omelettes were big and tasty, and there was a slight egg surcharge added to each one of these, which I guess is par for the course nowadays but I wish the restaurant would absorb some of these costs. The farmers omelette was a mix of all three meat, bacon, sausage, and ham. This thing was delicious and Phil and the hashbrowns were extra crispy which I love. My wife got the veggie omelette and she said that was pretty good also which came at Home style potatoes which were crispy crunchy and also delicious. The pancakes at this place were great too slightly yellow and color tasted like buttermilk, soft, fluffy and warm. Loved these things also. Great little breakfast spot reasonable pricing good service. What more can you ask for on a Sunday morning go give it a shot. It's worth it. read more

Was in town with friends and came here for breakfast and we all really enjoyed the food. It's definitely a locals diner/restaurant vibe and despite being packed at 11am, they seated us right away. The food service was a bit slow but they were attentive and the portions were large which we appreciated as the price was a little steep. I got the gravy and sausage eggs Benedict and loved it. It was more so a biscuit, sausage and gravy muffin with the egg on top but it was so good. The gravy and what seemed like homemade biscuits were delish. By far one of my fav breakfasts I've ever had. My friends tried the crepes, chilaquiles and scramble and all really liked it. I also got the smaller Bloody Mary which was pretty cheap and decent. It was a good experience and I'll def be back when I'm in town! read more

The Low Carb grill was wonderful. The bacon was delicious. OTOH the chicken fried steak wasn't wonderful. The steak was overcooked to the point of being tough.

Sloan's in Indio embodies the charm of a classic American diner. The menu offers a good selection of traditional diner favorites. I had the spicy bacon omelette substituted with egg whites. The omelette was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the spicy kick added the right amount of zest. I wish the hash browns were cooked a bit more, however. The service was attentive and fairly friendly. read more

This place is straight out of small town 1980's family restaurant The good: - our server Maggie was helpful and patient - they allow dogs (under the table) - surprisingly good Old Fashioned - Herb biscuits with a bit of burnt cheese - fried pickles were lightly covered tempura with a good flavor and crispy - sweet potato fries The could be better: - ribs were fatty and uniform (kind of like chicken McNuggets). - processed ribs? - pub steak was "meh" - chipotle chicken sandwich was beaten thin with a huge red bell pepper - not spicy It was a fine experience, but not something I would plan to go to. I hear the breakfast is the star. Maybe I should have ordered that. read more

I love this restaurant so we ordered for takeout. I was craving ribs.An there ribs are amazing they're went to pick it up and looked in the bags and saw that my ribs were not in the bag not a problem. I'd asked if we could just eat at the restaurant, the kids were hungry and I would wait for my ribs when I got my took my first bite. They were ice cold in the center which made no sense.

Sloan's slaps! I wish there was more Non-Chain diners in the world at least in California. Sloan's is great. They have everything, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You name it. They're going to have it. Service is always nice but on the weekends it gets slammed so be prepared. They also have a cool little bar in the back to watch football. Get your drink on. There's nothing like getting an omelette hash, browns toast and a screwdriver. Good times. You name it. This place has it! Give them a try, it's worth it!. read more

Mom and I love Elmer's in Palm Springs and this place looks just like it and has almost the same menu. One of our favorite things there is the German pancake. This one looked the same and was prepared properly however it was dry , very flat on the bottom , and sadly tasteless. I read that this was Elmer's before Sloans took over. It's busy so I guess people like it here. The hash browns tasted like old grease. Fried nicely but not good. My girlfriend loves the banana nut and date pancakes. Those were good if you like your pancakes on the thick side. Bummer , we still have to drive from palm desert to Palm Springs if we want German pancakes. read more

Love it here, hostess (Rosie) is so kind and welcoming, if you have to wait to be seated it's because they are always busy serving great food and attention, Sloans is a Coachella Valley gem, they make you feel at home. Food is always delicious, there is something for everyone on the menu, great portions reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend the German pancake or a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes, add their homemade syrup and thank me later mouth watering food every time. Absolutely great customer service from start to end. I've taken all of my aunts to celebrate them and I just took my parents for their first time last week and they all loved it as much as I do. Great local and atmosphere. read more

Quick stop to eat entire to a concert at local casino. Food- best, crispy french fries I have ever had! I don't know what they do to these fries to make them taste so good. My sandwich was also delicious. Service- quick & efficient. Ambiance- diner. Nothing special which is perfectly fine. Clearly spend their profits on the food which is what I like. Prices- VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I was surprised by how inexpensive it was. Will have to get tickets to another concert at nearby venue to warrant a drive out that way. read more
