I have been waiting for the Tack Room Tavern to reopen since it was closed for months. I guess they got new ownership and finally opened up again. Me and my husband went for dinner. First before we entered I noticed they had a B rating already. My husband wanted a burger and fries with his beer. We both ordered that because they always made a good burger. This was not it. First, it was packed inside so we sat outside and while it was hot it was tolerable but the flies were everywhere. Hard to enjoy your meal. They had no fans outside which they badly needed. I ordered burger with tater tots only to find when my food came that they were out of those but their fries were delicious. The burger itself was super dry, over cooked and not too much flavor and too much bun. They need a thinner one. I asked for salt only the lid was not tightly closed and half of it landed on my fries. The waitress did send me a new batch so that was good. The second part of their restaurant was the polo pizza place which was not opened as it will become another little restaurant which disappointed me because they had delicious pizza and now that is gone. So overall it was a disappointing experience. We paid just under $100 for a simple meal that was disappointing. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night. Another gem in Indio. Located right off the parking lot, service was great and very helpful. Had appetizers, which consisted of steak bites and ceviche. The steak was delicious, going to be a repeat. Drinks were cold and delicious. Great for a warm evening. The location had a band, which was good. Always looking for new spots, and this is one we will be back to. Also dog friendly. read more

My dad, wife and I dined at the Tack Room after a long day of playing at Joshua Tree. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. It was a bit confusing locating the Tack Room since it shares space with the Polo Club. They are essentially the same business with the Polo side serving pizza. There are a couple benches outside to sit on while waiting for your name to be called and seated. Indoors is simple and peppered with cool saddles and barrels. Tack Room offers a full bar with an extremely limited craft beer selection. While perusing the menu, we drank a couple 805's and La Quinta IPAs for $6 each. My wife and I shared the California Chicken Sandwich for $15 + $1 up-charge for Whiskey Rings. Our sandwich and rings were standard; it did it's job but left no impression. Meh. My dad ordered the Tack Room Cheeseburger for $14 + $1 up-charge for Whiskey Rings. When I requested the pickle spear that was forgotten with my dad's meal, our server was visibly miffed. When we were ready for another round of beers, I had to flag down our server. Overall, I am disappointed that we wasted one of our dining experiences at the Tack Room while vacationing. Food was sub-par and service was borderline rude. read more

Good food at a reasonable price with inside and outside dinning. Have taken people there just to sit in the saddles at their bar.

Such a fun find! We were looking for some place on a road trip between Palm Springs and the high desert and found this spot. It is indeed part of a polo field (is that what it's called?), but you can't actually see the field from the dining area. They have a lovely outdoor dining area that is covered for warmer dates and very well ventilated. We just happened to be there during happy hour, so we took advantage of the happy hour specials on food. We got the chicken tenders (happy hour) and the baby back rips from the dinner menu. Chicken tenders were pretty good - you can't really mess this up. Nicely breaded. The baby back ribs were very tender and saucy. They were a bit skimpy with the sides. We got the jumbo asparagus and I think we got fewer than 5 spears... I think that overall, it's a fun and relaxing experience, albeit a bit far from the main highway. read more

I had a Cobb Stack salad. Chintzy serving, There were no blue cheese crumbles. Bacon was almost non existent. Sadly, not the cobb stack I used to love!! Music was wonderful, though. read more

This was a Fun place! Tried it out before a concert at Spotlight 29. Fast service, good food!!

Stopped in for lunch and was not that crowded and we were able to get a seat fast, but then waited 15 minutes and no one came by to ask if wanted anything, not even water. There several staff people over by the bar just doing busy work. read more

Not the Tack Room we knew under prior ownership. Don't believe their website menu, happy hour info - there is no happy hour and a more limited menu available. There appears to be ample staff (most are for sure new and learning). It was very busy The wine bottle we ordered (at 5:30 PM) was sold out. We ordered a vegetarian pizza and requested added Chicken. Guess what - got no added chicken!!! The menu stated main entrees coming soon - so mostly sandwiches for now! Long ways to go to earn our business in the future. Recommend you go somewhere else for the near future, Winter!! read more

What a disappointment. We've been coming here for so many years I've lost track. We attend the horse show hosted nearby every year and have always looked forward to coming here. The menu has been cut in half and the quality of the food has too. The tradition is over... read more

I liked what I ordered. But 2 people of our party ordered the trial new item of chicken-fried steak. They said it was awful. read more

So disappointed in the new menu and recipes. We're locals and frequented here a lot over the years. Now with new management and executive chef, we most likely will not return. Service was just "ok". The ambiance was fine, but the food was just NOT good anymore. I presume that the partnership ended really bad and the partner left with the recipes and menu. The pizza was not edible. It tasted like the flour or yeast in dough was old or had turned. It was undercooked and just really bad! This place used to be our go-to spot for nice outdoor dining with good live music and even better food. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll come back under these conditions. read more

what a disaster, close and reopen again with people that know what they are doing! PS substituting french onion soup for au jus is a terrible idea and ruined what could have been a good sandwich. read more

Every time I eat here it's always a pleasant time. The music and outside patio is nice. The food is ready Farley quick. They no longer have the meatballs for appetizers and I was bummed out but tried the New York steak strips and they did not disappoint. read more

This place was amazing to get dinner! After a long day working in record rainfall this place hit the spot! The burger was awesome the onion rings were fresh! The waitress was busy but made sure she checked on us frequently! We will be back! read more

Nothing like the old Tack Room. Food and service was a big disappointment. Hope it improves. read more

We returned to the Tackle Room Tavern after it's reopening. We ordered a veggie pizza. It was one of the worse pizzas we all have had, right up there with Domino's and Little Ceasar inferior quality. My stomach was so upset for hours afterwards. One of the servers shared that before closing the pizza dough was made in house. Now, it's purchased from some outside vendor. Our party of 4 left almost 2 entire pizzas behind. The server was surprised with the amount we had left and more so that we weren't interested in to go boxes. Lol On the up side, the Ceasar salads were terrific.They were crisp, fresh, and we'll dressed with shaved parm. We'll not be back for pizza. Instead, we'll continue getting our pizza fix from Bill's Pizza, where their DELICIOUS "gut-friedly" house-made sourdough pizza crust is made with superior quality imported flour from Italy! read more

Such a nice outside environment, bright shade, sturdy tables. Love the space. The staff is lovely. Not all the bees, however, went for the open go box of garbage at the edge of the patio; several bugged us at our table, Which scared those with bee allergies. Korean lettuce wraps were delish but chicken ranch sandwich was overcooked and tough, almost too tough to chew. Onion rings were OK. Neat joint but Food is Unreliable. read more

Great service, great atmosphere and great food! Love that there is live music and the venue is indoor or outdoor seating. read more

Wonderful food. The service was above reproach at the bar. Wednesday karaoke with T Bone kept everything going.

We came with a party of six, and each of us enjoyed our selections! I had the Tavern burger, pretty traditional, but the flavors were all so good together. The burger was cooked perfectly. The ranch for my French fries was perfect. Loved it - would love to go back and try the pizza they have as well (seems to be from the restaurant next door) and their brunch menu also sounded great! Has a great sports bar ambiance - TVs on every wall and loud but you can still talk to your friends without yelling. Service was great, but just a kind reminder to ask to split the check at the start of your ordering. Our waitress was so fabulous until we asked to split the check at the end, then she was visibly upset. Other than that, service was great. ‍ read more

I really enjoy eating here , their food is delicious.. I ate the regular hamburger. The meat was cooked just right and juicy. I took the other half home because it was big enough to satisfy me. The fries were very good too!! My daughter ate the half I took home even reheated she said it was delicious... Keep up the great cooking!!! read more

First time to the Tack Room Tavern. A friend recommended we stop in for a bite to eat as we were running errands. The Tack Room Tavern is located at the Empire Polo Club which are the grounds where the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals take place. The restaurant offers both patio and dining room dining. The menu is your average diner offerings and the atmosphere is very casual. I loved my salad and my husband loved his tuna salad sandwich. The four and not five stars was because the service was very disorganized and slow. We had to ask for literally everything... we asked for menus... water... for our order to be taken... and once our food arrived we had to ask for utensils... then refills on our water. Half way through our dinning experience we asked the waitress if there was a problem where we were seated because we were not getting service from the staff ... her explanation was that there had been a shift change. As our meal progressed... the same lack of service continued. Look forward to returning and perhaps receiving better service so I can update this review. read more

Food was very disappointing and poor quality/value. Good place to have a drink but not eat!!!

Went here for lunch. We were quickly seated. Service was good. My friend and I both had the Del Toro Chicken Salad. It was average. We were in and out in a good amount of time l, which worked since we had limited time. 3 stars are for the food and atmosphere being average. Not a reflection of the service. On another note: The restaurant wasn't really well marked. We actually drove past it before finding it. read more

Tack Room Tavern - Menu 5/8/23 - American Near Me - Indio, California

I will never be able to thank Geneva, Julie and the entire staff here for helping facilitate the greatest weekend of my life. We were originally scheduled to throw our private birthday / wedding on Saturday night, but after a change in ownership, we lost our Friday night venue. Without missing a beat, everyone at the Tack Room allowed us to have both nights there. The service was above and beyond. The food was fantastic. They could not have been more accommodating and I could not be more grateful. I hope they are able to reopen publicly soon so I can continue to support and share the good vibes. read more

This was my first time back since new management. The service was excellent. The Strami Sandwich was very good! Great portion sizes. Super disappointed that the bread pudding is no longer on the dessert menu. read more

My family was excited for the reopening of the Tack Room but we were a little disappointed in the food. My mother got the pastrami sandwich and found it to be really dry. I got the bacon chicken ranch sandwich, which uses boneless thigh meat but the meat was tough and nothing to write home about. We found the appetizers to be good. We got the nachos, cheese curds, and buffalo wings. The service was a tad slow but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, our mains could have been better. read more

Love coming here after work as it is right next door. I love their burgers for lunch and their drinks love that they have a beautiful atmosphere around the place & can always count on great service and food. Enjoy the mountains and the green all around it as you are inside of the POLO grounds where Coachella Festival takes place every year. Always busy bcos it's just that good employees are always friendly and welcoming to new people as well as very friendly showing you their favorites. I come here after work too for a cold beer they have thee coldest beer. Let us NOT FORGET this is Western style interior you sit at the bar and your barstools are saddles instead of sitting same old lame way. Love coming here read more

Slid in to the bar on a Friday night and enjoyed exceptional wings with some cold beer. Wings very meaty- even the flats, and cooked / sauced perfectly. Bartender service was wonderful, which made my visit a 5-Star one. Well done! read more

I have been to this place a couple of times over the last six months, and it is always great. Whether it is for their seasonal pizzas, or a burger, you will not go wrong. And they also let us bring our dog when eating outside on the patio - another fantastic bonus. A fun time for all. read more

Tack Room Tavern - Our dog - American Near Me - Indio, California

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and decided to go for it and I'm glad we did. We sat outside in the patio and the great weather we have at this time of year. Started off with the spinach and artichoke dip which was excellent. My wife had the teriyaki salad, my daughter had the pulled pork and I had the "Kobe" burger which even though was over cooked tasted pretty good. The whiskey onion rings complemented the burger nicely. But the highlight of our lunch came in the dessert. We had the chocolate cake and it was delicious! Looking forward to coming back. Definitely recommend The Tack Room. read more

Great place to land after a long lax tournament! Family friendly outside and inside is more adult. This place has Character and was relaxing and food was great. I guess they have bands on weekends which i'd like to check out. read more

The food was good but definitely different than before. The menu definitely has changed. Service was excellent and we enjoyed seeing the (very well behaved) dogs hanging with their humans. read more

Service was okay and the food too BUT omg their chairs was filled with BUGS! Told the server my situation and she didn't even acknowledge me and just said " ohh thats bad " and never even told her manager. Emailed the manager and NO response at all! This is terrible! I had to go through HELL for one week from itchiness and my legs were burning like crazy! I hope they look into my email because this was just recent and I didn't get any response at all! NEVER GOING BACK! read more

The food here was absolutely terrible, my steak (cooked medium) tasted like charcoal and it was chewier than a sandal. The service is fine, nice server, but the atmosphere is bad, inside is louder than a music festival, and don't get me started on the flies. 1 star, don't recommend. read more

Food, service, home made chips, pizza and casual dining. We can't wait for you to please reopen.

Great service and food. Cali burger and steak sandwich were great. Will be coming back for Pizza after 4pm.
