Nice tucked-away spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted with a smile, which is always a great start. The sandwiches were very good, fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. We'll definitely be adding this place to our rotation and look forward to coming back to try more. Thanks! read more

The Lunch Spot was frequently recommended by others so I was excited to try it. Staff were friendly. I ordered two sandwiches. The #14 The House,,and #11 Love the Club. I especially enjoyed the #14 The House. It's a house-made chicken salad with nuts and cranberries and comes with sprouts, tomato, mayo, salt and pepper on Squaw Bread. The cranberries adds a mild sweetness which balances out the mayo and the nuts adds another layer of crunchy texture and flavor which I loved. If I were to be honest, I wasn't too crazy about their bread. On both sandwiches, it was soft which was good, yet at the same time, just a bit stale. While the sandwiches initially seemed loaded, most of the ingredients are right in the middle of the sandwich where they slice it in half, so while it's very visually appealing, there's basically a ring near the crust of the bread that didn't have much toppings. As far as the Love The Club sandwich. I think they are a bit heavy handed with the salt. The sandwich was too salty. At $33 for two sandwiches, it's also a tad bit pricey. Overall good experience and will be back to try more ! read more

We stopped by here for lunch and we are SO thankful we did. We found this fantastic spot by asking Chat GPT best lunch restaurants in the area. The vibe is casual and welcoming. We beat the lunch rush (got there a little before 12:00) and it just got busier and busier. You order at the counter and the guy that helped us was friendly and gave great suggestions. There were so many great options on their menu that we had a hard time deciding on what to order. Their special sold out right after we ordered which was a tri-tip sandwich. Normally on vacation we don't eat at the same place twice so we can try more places, but if we were to make an exception it would be for this place. My kids each got the grilled cheese sandwiches which they got to choose their chip option and it comes with a capri sun as well. I ended up deciding on the Ashlee's sandwich and it was very yummy. My hubby got the strawberry sunflower salad and added chicken. He really enjoyed his salad and found it filling too. Overall I highly recommend checking out this place for lunch when in the area. read more

Came here for a quick lunch! The service was friendly and fast. We got the spicy avo salad which had the most delicious dressing, in addition to a good heaping of fresh veggies and alfalfa. The sandwich was "Daniel's best" which was also decadent and filling. The interior was cute and cozy, like an old timey deli. Would recommend for a quick bite! Free parking lot at the front! read more

This little spot makes delicious sandwiches on a very nicely seeded and tasty gluten free bread. I was assured that my sandwich would be made with a clean knife and in a separate area of the kitchen to prevent cross contamination. Very fresh and delicious sandwiches! I will be back! read more

Order pickup if you can instead of delivery so you can double check that they actually got your order right. My sandwich, The Hottie, is almost $20 and of course they left off one of the most expensive parts of the sandwich which is the layer of avocado... the bread is also advertised as a delicious sounding jalapeño bread but it just tasted like any type of bland bread. This is something you can make way better at home. read more

This place was AMAZING! My family and I were in town for a family wedding, and so we flew into PSP in the morning. After exploring the area in the morning, we wanted a late lunch before checking into our Airbnb in Palm desert. I stumbled upon this place in my search for some healthy food & we decided to try it. The inside seating is really small, but we got lucky and were able to find a table for 4. It's an order at the front & pick up type of spot. Since we were starving, we ordered with our stomachs: 1 strawberry sunflower salad without meat & nuts, 1 spicy avocado salad, 1 potato salad, 1 blueberry lemonade, and 1 CEO sandwich. Everything was OUTSTANDING!! The service down to the food. We loved it so much that we ordered the same meal 2 days later for lunch again. Absolutely recommend to anyone reading this review! read more

My colleague and I arrived around 2:00 p.m. today and decided to try this highly rated lunch spot. I ordered the special, a BLTA sandwich with chips and a drink for $15 which was an excellent value. The sandwich was good and fresh prepared quickly, and the service was efficient. The restaurant itself is small and located in an industrial area, but it's nicely decorated, quaint, and very clean. You place your order at the counter, and they call your name when it's ready. Overall, a pleasant experience and a great choice for a quick lunch. read more

We love coming to The Brown Bag for their fresh sandwiches. It's a really small place tucked surrounded by a whole bunch of businesses. But I tell you, the customer service is great and the food is delicious. My favorite is the Italian sandwich. However, their salads are good too. Give them a try if you're looking for a quick bite that's not typical fast food. read more

Yelp you never disappoint! Thanks to the recommendations of my fellow Yelpers, we ventured out of our usual delis and found The Lunch Spot. Don't let its industrial location keep you from coming to this casual, family owned deli, because you will miss out on the "bougiest" sandwiches, soups and salads in town! We were here on 11/1/25 and split the chicken and veggie soup, Strawberry w/Blueberry salad and the Hottie chicken Sandwich. The soup was hearty with lots of shredded chicken and veggies. I would love a bowl of this any day! We ordered the strawberry and blueberry salad- with fresh greens, pecans, cranberries, red onion feta cheese and a balsamic dressing. This was amazing, fresh, and an excellent accomplishment to the sandwhich. Speaking of the sandwhich- I think this just may be one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! We ordered and shared "The Hottie" and you can think of it as the spicy version of your chicken salad sandwich. We had it on Squaw bread and it was maybe 2 inches thick thanks to the generous amount of chicken, alfalfa and avocado. If you like spicy and a bit of a kick- order this! The flavors, quality, freshness and uniqueness of their menu have earned The Lunch Spot my 5 stars! Can't wait to return. read more

Wow! The Lunch Spot definitely had the feeling of being a local secret treasure since it is tucked in an industrial warehousing area. Don't let the location or size fool you, however. The front entrance is charming with its limited outdoor seating and sandwich board. Inside is quant and cozy. You'll order at the window and then find a seat. The food was super fresh! It was definitely representative of California fare. The service was incredibly helpful when it came to choosing the perfect meal. I finally settled on the seasonal Berry salad while my hubby chose the honey ham panini. We both washed it down with the blueberry lemonade. If you're in the Palm Desert area on vacation or just a round of golf, work this one into your schedule. You won't be disappointed. read more

With all of the stellar reviews, expectations were high! Got there at 2:15 pm on a Wednesday and ordered the #5 Daniel without bacon. Unfortunately they were out of sprouts (boo) so they subbed lettuce and also cucumber for the bacon. Ingredients were really fresh and delicious. Sandwich was really good, but not great. The bread was a little heavy for the sandwich and I kept pulling away the crust and throwing it away. Sandwich was $16, which is pretty standard now. Service was friendly and efficient. Cute place through I got mine to go. Pretty easy parking in their lot and the area is fine. read more

Took a chance on this place, and I'll I can say is....just go. Small local spot with delicious sandwiches and fresh ingredients. Friendly service too. Pro tip - get the potato salad! read more

My hubby brought us home this for lunch today and it did not disappoint. We went by last Saturday but did not realize they are closed on the weekends and during the week they close at 3pm, that's the only bummer. But the Love club sandwich was so gooood! That garlic aioli just brings all the flavors to this sandwich, my favorite!! Daniel's best sandwich was also really good. The sandwiches are fresh, well made & packed down with plenty of meat. I will def be back to try this place, again & again... & again! :) read more

I live really close by and found myself walking by after dropping off my car for service right around the corner. Problem was, it was only 8:45am. Saw an employee walking in and he told, me in a very welcoming way, that they open at 9am, and have amazing breakfast specials, as well. Before they opened, I looked up Yelp reviews, and saw the menu. I already had a lunch sandwich in mind. But, once they opened, I checked out the Breakfast blackboard, and I zeroed right in on the Breakfast Panini. Anything on sourdough, with avocado, is my favorite. The bacon was so perfectly crispy, and the pepper Jack cheese gave it a kick. Super friendly service, delicious food, and good coffee, what more could you ask for in the morning? Can't wait to come back for lunch at my new Breakfast Spot! Lol read more

Tried The Sandwich Spot for the first time today, and let me just say --it was love at first bite. If you know me, you know I take my sandwiches seriously, and this place absolutely delivered. I went with the Italian on toasted ciabatta, and it was perfection. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Definitely my new go-to. Ashley recommended I try a homemade garlic Aioli, so I ordered it on the side and it was delicious. The homemade cookies were such a treat-- soft, chewy, and clearly baked with love. And the blueberry lemonade? Bright, refreshing, and the perfect little twist to round out the meal. The charm doesn't stop at the food. The exterior is super cute and welcoming, and the inside is warm, cozy, and ideal for a laid-back lunch date or solo bite. Service is amazing whether you decide to dine in or order takeout. It's the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. From one sand which fan to another: don't walk, run! You won't be disappointed! read more

Searched "best lunch in Palm Desert" on Yelp and this spot popped up -- so glad it did! Tucked away in a business park, it's easy to miss, but totally worth the find. One of my coworkers had the chicken feta salad, and it looked amazing. Another had the chicken salad on squaw bread and raved about it. I went with the turkey and sprouts Panini Prest, and it was lights out good. Everything is super fresh and clearly made to order, so be prepared for a little bit of a wait -- but it's well worth it. The staff was really friendly, and the vibe is low-key with some quirky patio furniture if you want to eat outside or you can dine in. Definitely recommend if you're in the Palm Desert area and looking for a solid, fresh lunch spot. 5/5 read more

Needed to grab some lunch on the way to a meeting and saw The Lunch Spot on Yelp. I bought a #6 The Teddy. It's a turkey sandwich, with red onion, pickle, avocado, lettuce, paperback cheese, garlic aioli on toasted rosemary bread. It was absolutely delicious. The staff was very nice. The atmosphere is friendly and it looks like a place a lot of locals go to. It's in an industrial area. They have dedicated parking. read more

When I got here about a half hour before closing, there was only one seat left the other sandwiches that would buy me look delicious. Also, I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

Food- We tried the veggie and turkey bacon ranch sandwiches. The veggie sandwich was simple but tasty, with lots of vegetables and vegan mayo on squaw bread--perfect for those who enjoy a straightforward vegan option. I think a little chipotle mayo or mustard could add some extra flavor, but it was still good. The turkey bacon ranch sandwich was also packed with veggies and had a nice onion kick, with the house-made ranch being a great touch. Service-The service was relaxed, friendly, and efficient, with plenty of staff working behind the scenes. I recommend reviewing the menu beforehand, as this is a small spot that gets busy around lunchtime. Ambiance-Located near construction stores, it's easy to spot once you see an umbrella. The restaurant offers plenty of seating inside and a few outside, but tables can be hard to come by. Overall, a great experience, and I'll definitely return if I'm in the area. Thanks! read more

First time here I had The Hottie and it was delicious. The chicken salad was creamy and flavorful and the sandwich had a nice heated finish. Yesterday we split the special which was thin-sliced tri-tip and we were in Sammy heaven. They even split it for us so that we each had our own basket and cup of au jus for dipping.
