    Chads Lakeside kitchen is starting to get its ball rolling on finding its voice in food. We went for a Karaoke night and I love that they are doing this. The do not yet have their alcohol license but they are getting it soon in case you need some liquid courage to get up there. The service was great and ever host did there best to be accommodating and bringing things out promptly. Our server forgot to bring us a few things we asked for but after a few times we got the ranch and sides we wanted. The food was good but just missing some the flavors you would hope to get. My wife for a pasta that was supposed to have tomatoes in it and she did not say anything to me right away but they did not add them. So you missed out on a lot of the flavors. There was just a lot of pasta and it took up the sauce so the savory flavor you would usually get was missing. I had the fish and chips and unfortunately the fry on them was like they had sat for a while.. you did not get that dress crisp on the fry so they were ok. The fires were good, my mother in law got a burrito and she loved it so that was a good turning point. Over all they have a good menu, the food just needs refining and better timing. It's a great little spot and they are just starting out so I'd give it a shot as they find their balance.

    Veggie pizza & pepperoni!

    Everything about Chad's is great! ...the food, the service & ambiance! Everything we've tried was awesome! I particularly like the pizza's and taco Tuesday!

    Mac and cheese, buffalo wings, steak bites and mashed potatoes

    The ambiance here is amazing I loved the view over dinner. It's located in an RV resort but the restaurant is open to the public. Service was friendly, food was decent. I got the Mac and Cheese and buffalo wings which didn't taste fresh unfortunately so I didn't finish them. I also got the steak bites and mashed potatoes with the salsa verde sauce which was better than the other two so I was able to finish that and I actually enjoyed it. I liked the beet drink, it was an interesting mix but it tasted good.

    Car show next to Chad's Lakeside Kitchen restaurant inside the Rancho CA RV Resort. Great place for car clubs to gather too...great food!

How can you miss when you're welcomed so warmly by both people and dogs?! We ordered a round of a variety of beers. We each enjoyed what we ordered. But we like to share! So we tasted around, found out what we really liked, then came back and ordered some more, and another couple of rounds the next day! This is not your typical deep fried bar food joint. Someone in the kitchen really knows their way around a bbq! And they don't hold back on their sides. The pork belly bites were so succulent with their crispy outer skin and unctuous meat inside. The ribs were surely taken from a brontosaurus! Tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smoke. The brisket sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. Did I say we shared? Well, I didn't the sando was gone before anyone could ask for a bite. The Mac n cheese was creamy and dreamy. The vibe here is really casual. Dogs, kids, people at tables, at the bar, outside - just everyone enjoying themselves over beer, food, and convo. Great music playing. Super chill. No hurries and no worries. We'll definitely come here again the next time we're out this way!

As a customer you're automatically getting an upcharge just to give them your business. There was maybe about 2-3 other parties in the whole place, with pizza taking about 25 min to be ready. We paid $12 for bagged salad, with wilting/browning lettuce, croutons, and that Kraft like parmesan cheese that comes in the green bottle. Plus the 3% fee to eat there. Got the Alfredo pizza. The dough is thin and SUPER dry. Hard as rock, takes more effort to bite through the crust than the croutons. I don't know if they were running low on ingredients or what, but hardly a sprinkle of cheese and we're still looking for the sauce, which would've been nice to maybe soften a dough a tiny bit. I wouldn't recommend it for the prices they're charging. There's not a ton of options out here, but I wouldn't recommend this one unless you have a good dentist on call for a possible chipped tooth. Haha.

The building also has a gift shop and bar. It is cozy throughout the building, specifically, a cabin feel. The staff at the counter were very helpful and patient. I ordered a kale salad with chicken. It was a hefty serving. I did ask for extra balsamic dressing at the time of my order and I'm glad I did since I had a lot of greens. Everything was fresh and the candied pecans added in were delicious and added a nice crunch to the salad. I ordered a side of sweet potato fries and they were perfecto! It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. I enjoyed my lunch out on the patio deck facing north east. I had the view of the hills and got to watch people drive into or leave Borrego Springs. Some of the planks on the floors and side rails were starting to show their age or had been damaged. Overall, a great experience at the joint. I look forward to having another bite at the restaurant when I camp here again in 2025.

On my way back home in Ranchita I decided to grab Lunch in Borrego Springs at, Big Horn Burgers $ Shakes. 221 Palm Canyon Dr, Ste 956, Borrego Springs, CA 92004 https://www.palmcanyonrvresort.com/restaurant/ It was my second time at this Resort Restaurant but the first time after becoming Big Horn Burgers & Shakes. Nice Decor with a western feel and a small bar also. The Staff was super helpful and nice. Service was fast, friendly and quick to deliver. The Menu is small but well laid out. I ordered Their Most Popular Burger, The Double Desert Storm Burger Two Charbroiled 1/4 Pound Beef Patties, Pepper-jack Cheese, Crispy Sweet Potato Strings, Sliced Avocado and Jalapeño Cilantro Aioli. A Great Flavor Combination. The Beef was full of Smoky Grilled Flavor. Was a bit overpriced at $16.00 and didn't come with a side but was a Tasty Burger for a Resort Burger I will try another from the menu sometime. The Hand cut fresh French Fries were very good and only $3.50 Had to try one of their, Chocolate Hand - Spun Milkshakes. Don't know why they call it that seeing it came out of a mixing machine ‍‍‍. $8.00 Super flavorful and Delicious but also a bit pricy for a shake. Beside being a Resort Burger Restaurant and a little pricy this place is worth stopping for lunch if your visiting Borrego Springs and want a decent Burger to fill the hole. Enjoy My Friends.
