    Loaded Pizza
    Gregory Michael C.

    Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill is an absolute gem! The restaurant is super nice and exceptionally clean, with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a very friendly and welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. The menu has an impressive variety with tons of options -- pizza, wings, tacos (yes, tacos... and they're delicious), appetizers (Artichokes are to die for) and fresh salads. There's truly something for everyone. The bar is fantastic as well, offering great cocktails and a solid selection of craft beers. One thing that really stood out was how spotless the restrooms were -- always a great sign of a well-run restaurant. While the pizza is more of a classic American-style pizza rather than a thin, crispy Italian crust, it's still very good, and I would absolutely return without hesitation. If you're in the area, make sure Stuft Pizza Bar & Grill is your next stop -- you won't be disappointed!

    First off, I love stuft pizza! I've been coming here for years, maybe over 10+ years and the employees are all amazing and some even remember me and it's the best feeling. They always have smiles on their faces and greet you as soon as you walk in. This place is so busy but busy in a good way! They have a great happy hour, great food and great vibes. I love the new patio, it's so nice to enjoy the weather with friends. If you're looking for great food and great people, stuft pizza is the place.

    Been coming here, while on vacation, for over 10 years! Stuft used to be one of our favorite spots, but over the years it has become ordinary and lack-luster, in terms of prices and food quality. Happy Hour is 3-6 everyday, and in every seat, which is nice. However, the drink prices especially, aren't a happy hour price...$7 for a well drink doesn't make me happy. Service is generally pretty good, but we have found many more happy hour gems in La Quinta, and the surrounding areas, to keep coming back here. It's been fun but time to move on.

    Went during happy hour. We ordered some wine and a medium heavyweight pizza, and I can't wait to try other combos. I was highly impressed by the buffalo wings, which were crispy and tangy!

    Big, open place with lots of room for group seating. Join the waitlist before arriving! Was seamless for our party of nine. Had multiple TVs to watch the games. Our waitress was attentive and kind - even offering suggestions to our order when asked her opinion. Only reason for three stars is the food was just mediocre. We had a few pizzas, chicken wings, Thai noodles and tacos. While all edible, none of it had a "wow" factor and I wouldn't recommend this place for their food. But great spot if you have people who just want an easy meal with a good bar selection.

    We got ours to go back to our room the first night and the service was quick. Pizza was some of the best we ever had on the West Coast. We ended up getting pizzas to also take home to bake when we left for the weekend. The pictures below are what we took home and baked.

    The pizza is really great! You have to try Everything But The Kitchen Sink, lol, creative with the name. The appetizers are very good as well. There's also plenty of other items on the menu to choose from. The service was good, our waiter answered our questions and was relatable. I love the vibe, it gave elevated pizza spot. The place was pretty packed. Plenty of inside, bar and patio seating. Patio seating also has mist spray for the heat. There's TVs with the sports channel on, very family friendly and clean. This place is a must.

    Ordered online for a pick up order. Food was delicious. Note: when you order online it defaults to a 20% tip. Also there is a separate entrance for pick up orders.

    I went down a rabbit hole on Reddit and found myself, with throngs of other people, waiting for a table on a Saturday night. They don't take resys, however, they'll text you when your table is ready so you can mill around while you wait. We shared the following: -dinner salad ($10.99): romaine and lettuce with tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and croutons with ranch -Southwestern eggrolls ($16.49): chicken, Monterey Jack, black beans, corn, onions, bell peppers + jalapeños in a flour tortilla with chipotle ranch dipping sauce -half Maui: pepperoni, Canadian bacon, pineapple, tomatoes, green onions + cilantro -half the classic stuff special: pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, red onions, bell peppers + fresh tomato First of all, the ranch is the kind you find at a salad buffet. A bit runny, but the perfect consistency over salad. It's a very solid dinner salad. As for the egg rolls - these were *chef's kiss.* if you're a fan of the Americanized egg rolls, these are for you. The egg rolls remind me of the ones you'd find at any major chain (Cheesecake Factory or Chilis). The crispy flour tortilla is stuffed with tiny morsels of all things Southwestern. Dipping it into the chipotle ranch mayo adds a nice creamy layer to each bite. Really fun way to start a meal. The pizza is so damn good. The crust was crusting - it had a nice crispy undercarriage with the perfect amount of chew. I don't usually care for it, but this one is excellent. Any type of topping is good as gold as long as it sits on top of this crust. I get why this place is wildly popular - the food, the service, the energy are all top tier. Highly recommend.

    I haven't been to Stuft since 2021 and it was cool to have Victor as our waiter again. He did an exceptional job just like last time. We ordered off the happy hour menu. The Cajun Shrimp and Scallops, New York Steak, Calamari Steak Strips, and Small Napa Valley Pizza were all good choices. They also have lunch specials prior to happy hour.

    Great visit to La Quinta to see friends and enjoy the beautiful weather. We visited the Stuft Pizza Bar & Grillfor lunch weren't disappointed. This restaurant is huge lots of TVs, full bar, two comfortable outdoor dining areas and large indoor area. Decorated very nice. Staff is friendly expansive menu I had their Cobb salad it was fantastic my wife had the grilled Chicken Parmesan burger with avocado and onion rings It looked delicious, she commented best onion rings she's ever had. Our friends enjoyed personal pizzas that also looked scrumptious We had a relaxing outstanding lunch here. Give them a try

Another thing worth mentioning is that the bathrooms were clean, which is always appreciated and says a lot about how a place is maintained. Most importantly, every single person in our group had a great time. It's not often that six people all walk away from a night out completely happy, but that's exactly what happened. If you're looking for a fun karaoke spot with great drinks, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere, Neil's Lounge is definitely worth checking out. We can't wait to come back!

I was excited to try it since I hadn't been back to this location since it was Tu Madres, which I was a big fan of. The menu looked promising, and having live entertainment was definitely a major plus. Unfortunately, our overall experience was a bit underwhelming. We made a 6:45 p.m. reservation through OpenTable and requested a high-top table. We ended up being seated at a standard four-top next to the restroom. While it wasn't our preference, the restaurant was busy, and I completely understand that it's not always possible to accommodate every seating request. One thing that was disappointing was the beer selection. The menu advertises craft beer, but under the "Craft & Canned" section it mostly listed domestic staples like Coors Light and Michelob Ultra. There were only a few craft options on draft, and unfortunately the ones our group tried weren't particularly enjoyable. The guys ended up leaving them unfinished and ordering cocktails instead. We ordered the French 760, which unfortunately missed the mark as well. It was overly sweet, and the sugar rim melted down the glass, leaving the stem sticky and messy to hold. The appetizers were actually one of the highlights of the meal. Both the fried artichoke bites and the fried cauliflower were flavorful and well prepared. Service is where the evening started to unravel a bit. After our appetizers arrived, our server didn't return for about 25 minutes. When he finally came back, he asked if we were ready for the check. We had to remind him that we were still waiting to order our entrees. Once we placed our order, the food arrived quickly. Of the entrées, the Steak Frites was excellent and easily the standout dish of the evening. Unfortunately, both the Pasta Pesto and the Pasta Vodka were disappointing. The penne was overcooked, and both sauces were very bland and lacked the flavor we were expecting. The true highlight of our visit was the live entertainment. This was our first time hearing Jessica Michelle perform, and she was phenomenal. While playing the keyboard, she effortlessly covered country favorites spanning multiple generations. Her voice was absolutely beautiful, and she created such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be keeping an eye out for her future performances. We're not writing off The Local on 50th. I spent over 20 years working in the restaurant industry, from family-style restaurants to fine dining, and one thing I learned is that every restaurant can have an off night. It happens. There was enough potential here that we'd be willing to give it another try and hope our next experience better reflects what this restaurant is capable of.

LOCATION: In Old Town La Quinta, OTLQ easy to find, tons of parking but at times it gets busy so you may have to walk a bit. FACILITY: very traditional inside and out, clean, and lots of space between tables. MENU: rather massive, we usually order the same things so all the other options makes my head hurt so we just go with what we know. FOOD PREP: excellent, always looks the same which is a good things. FOOD QUALITY: some of the best in the valley. LIBATIONS: lots of choices and not too expensive, wish they had a locals city of LQ discount like some of the other options in OTLQ.. WAITSTAFF: very nice, everyone. OVERALL VALUE: if you order the right things, it is a great value but you can go nuts and spend a lot, tourist dollars spend well, upselling happens for those who want it and deserve it! TIP: Sitting outside is great most all year, we don't go out when it is crazy hot, but have dined outside in 100+ temps, we prefer the front outdoor space.

    *Mi Casa es Su Casa*…read more My buddy had a small casual bday get-together with his family and invited me to join the celebration. I saw all the favorable reviews on Yelp and was looking forward to my first visit at Casa Mendoza. Very chill & lively family owned Mexican joint in Old Town LQ. The place was kinda busy @6:30pm on Hump Night ~~ always a great sign when I see this. Felt more like a Sunday Evening. It took an hour to receive our meals. Ordered @6:45 arrived @7:45pm. Good thing the Chimichanga & Gauc apps arrived pretty quickly. The Gauc was Excellente. All their food was very good. But all our meals arrived cold/lukewarm. Took forever to receive our food and we knew for a fact it's because all our plates sat a while until we were served. The actual plates weren't even warm and the sizzling fajitas had sizzled out and lost its dazzle. Because it was still 95 degrees when dinner was finally served, our lukewarm meals were doable on a hot night. Everyone did enjoy their meals tho. I was very pleased with my Mahi Mahi in Garlic Butter Sauce. The refried beans were outstanding. The rice very good...and I made tacos with the 3 corn tortillas. But would have enjoyed it even more had all the food been a little warmer. I stuck with H2O but all margarita drinkers said their drinks were good and hit the spot on a warm night. The service in general was also inconsistent for our small party of 8. The Birthday Boy was a little frustrated and got up a few times from his throne seeking assistance -- such as missing tortillas for meals, water refills, extra napkins. We even had to wait longer than anticipated for them to acknowledge the bday boy with a celebratory bday song & sombrero...and the fried ice cream, which didn't include a candle. Tho we all enjoyed ourselves and time together...a 2 hour dinner at a Mexican joint on a Wednesday night wasn't what we anticipated. Especially with one restless 7 year old ;-) But everyone working at Casa Mendoza is very friendly with great attitudes. Hostess team, waiters, servers & runners too. So that made up for the spotty service, just a little bit. Since I'm closer to the other Casa Mendoza in Palm Desert, I'd go there in the future with my wife, and order the exact same thing. But hope for much better service and warmer food.
