    Hot All-American Dog and a Bacon Breakfast Burrito
    Anissa A.

    The service was excellent and fast. There were restrooms on the side of the building so that was pretty convenient for it being an only Drive-in. The food was tasty, I would highly suggest the cheese burgers. The chili on the chili cheese fries were okay, not my personal favorite. I was a fan of the mozzarella sticks, the marinara sauce not so much. I loved my grape slushy. It tasted like how a good grape would taste like.

    Immediate 5/5 because they actually skated to bring my order out. And obviously the drinks are the same old same old so nothing new there!

    "Large" honey barbecue chicken poppers.

    I was on my way from Desert Hille outlets to 29 Palms & decided to pick up "dinner" on the way. Two cars ahead of me in the drive thru, so I thought "this will be quick." Ha! I waited 15 minutes to pull up to order. The voice on the other end asked me to wait. Another 5 minutes. I ordered a large entree honey barbecue chicken poppers & a medium tea. $12 something total. After ordering, The car in front of me was still waiting for their order. I was trapped, unable to escape. When I finally got my order, I was handed the sticky chicken poppers with a napkin and fork on top. No bag! Ugh! Ten minutes later, I opened the poppers. You can see my photo. First off, this cannot be a large. Second they were overcooked and hard. The mess was inedible unless I wanted to risk breaking a tooth. Not recommended.

    I want to like Sonic more. It seems fun. Its mediocre food at best. Maybe the shakes are good but I'm lactose intolerant so who knows. I think Wendy's is better for sure. We had left Pioneer Town starving and we were coerced by children to eat at Sonic. My husband had never had it before so why not. I had a regular cheeseburger with the fix'ns. My kids had Chicken Sandwiches and I don't even remember what my husband ordered. There was also a side of Chicken Strips. All together there wasn't anything that great. My son and I did our obligatory, swap our food after eat half of it so we can try two different things. My husband hated his food. We sat at the little table out front after we parked and ordered in the stall. It was a very nice sunny fall day. I just cant get into Sonic. Its just off for me. Its not just this location. Its been every location I've been to.

    Chicago dog - love those sport peppers!

    The drive through service sucked. It too at least 5-7 minutes just to order and there was no one in line. The food was good though.

With some outside tables offering scenic views of the lake, this is a great spot to take a rest from browsing and grab an ice cream cone, cold drink, specialty coffee, or sugary treat. The shop offers Thrifty Ice cream in assorted flavors, cone choices ranging from simple sugar to freshly-made, warm waffle cones for cradling your scoops, and a variety of additional crowd pleasing snacks such as churros, baked goods, specialty lattes, Dole Whip, soft serve, and other edible treasues too numerous to mention. Price wise, their offerings are a bit on the higher side - I paid around $10 for a large chocolate malt (shakes are cheaper) - but you will probably encounter a small, quickly-moving line upon entry. And though ice cream can be found at other village businesses, indeed, there are some confections that are unique to this site. Our server (apparently only one on a weekday afternoon) was pleasant and efficient, rapidly filling orders and fielding any questions as she moved to and fro translating the pictured menu offerings into the equally-tempting tangible goodies that excited patrons scurry away holding. It's hard to resist this little spot as you peruse the shops along the esplanade - and what's better than strolling around that walkway bend to the lakefront businesses with a refreshing treat in hand? I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye and, subsequently, dazzles your tastebuds.

    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!
