Okay, being totally honest, this wasn't the absolute best food of our entire Joshua Tree-Palm…read moreSprings trip, but a close 2nd. BUT it was definitely the biggest, most positive surprise when it came to expectations vs. actual quality! We landed in Palm Springs late in the evening and were starving on our way out to Joshua Tree. After a quick Yelp search for something open past 7-8pm, this spot popped up. We pulled into a super quiet parking lot and found this tiny little place. Looking at it from the outside, we honestly figured it would just be a quick, forgettable pitstop. Boy, were we wrong. For starters, the place was relatively full for a Tuesday evening! We ordered the duck confit nachos, the kimchi bulgogi sandwich, and the pony wings. Wow! Granted, our expectations were unfairly low walking in, but this turned out to be probably our second-best meal of the entire week--and we ate out every single day! It absolutely crushed it in terms of exceeding expectations. It also helped that we happened to be there on a Wednesday, so all the wines were half-priced! Unfortunately, since we weren't familiar with the area, we didn't know exactly how much further we had to drive to our accommodations, so we couldn't imbibe more in such a welcoming environment. (Missed opportunity, but safety first!) Oh, and definitely save room for dessert--their pie with ice cream of the day was delicious too! If you are passing through, do not sleep on this place. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

There is a dog friendly patio so we sat out back with our pups and ordered them puppy patties. Service was ok; since we were in the patio and it was a holiday they were super busy so it was understandable that we had to wait quite awhile for things (drinks, check, etc). But they servers all worked together and were nice. They grat parties of 5 an automatic 20%, but it's on the menu so be be mindful of that. The food was not bad. They had a special BBQ menu for the 4th, but didn't have the jalpeno cornbread so we went another direction. We ordered a $5 mimosa and the pretzel bites with BOMB queso and split the smashburger. All were awesome. My friends ordered the chicken sandwich and absolutely RAVED about how good it was!! Overall, this place is awesome and we can't wait to go back and sit at the very lively bar and watch some sports!

Additionally, this spot was overall just a really fun and quirky spot to dine in, with different vibes for each area (i.e, bar top, 4 seater tables in the main round, and 2 seater tables along the wall each outfitted with funky chairs. Big fan of their cocktails which were pleasantly packed with flavor. I have no clue what broke down with the burgers: One member of our party ordered a burger and specifically asked for no cheese and what came out for her was literally a patty squeezed between two buns without any spreads or lettuce or even onions. Upon flagging one of the staff they fixed it immediately. I ordered a cheeseburger myself which thankfully came with everything you would expect, but despite that, it lacked flavor. So much so that I had add fries and ketchup intot he burger just to give it any taste. My sentiments were echoed by the other member in our party.

I was one of the first patrons there for the evening and was immediately greeted by one of the women bartending for the night. She saw my interest in the pool tables and laid out the pricing: $4/30min or $8/hr. I went ahead and paid for 2hrs of play and was handed a box of billiard balls with my choice of a table. I was introduced to the full bar, the well stocked fridge filled with beers, seltzers and wines and the specials for the weekend. As the night developed, more and more groups came in, ordered drinks and sat around the bar and tables with plenty of seating and tables available for everyone to hang out comfortably without being on top of one another. My only recommendation for this place when it does get busier, is that they have a designated ordering section at the bar where people can't sit so that those wanting to order or close their tabs can easily get to the bartender without having to awkwardly cut through people that are sitting there. Otherwise, this is a solid spot to hang out and have a couple casual drinks with a divey ambience and local feel.

But we were recently saddened to find out that they've switched to frying in beef tallow for heath reasons. So all those dishes that were naturally vegetarian (zucchini, artichokes, cheese pillows, fries/chips etc) are now all dripping in meat fat. This whole recent "beef tallow is healthier than seed oil" myth is just the latest nonsense from RFK/MAHA. Debunked YouTube pseudo science. All reputable medical findings clearly show that animal fat is high in saturated fat which is linked to cardiovascular disease. If this really is a "healthy choice" decision then why have a 12" tall burger on the menu and not vegetarian vegetables? C'mon we love you Spaghetti Western.. let's not do this, ok?
