We brought some cards to kill time which added to our enjoyment. The food was so delicious we came back the next day too. The salad, burger, grilled cheese with apples, and brownie with whipped cream were the best foods we'd eaten in our three days around JT and all with fresh ingredients well prepared. The food alone would make this a 5 star visit.

They have an incredible selection of beers. Cons: you either have to order at your table using a QR code, or place your order with the bartender. I HATE QR codes, and the ordering app was not intuitive - I gave up and ordered via the bartender. Also, it was open mike night so the noise was considerable. I get the impression that even on regular nights, this is not a quiet environment. Summary: fantastic food, but you shouldn't have to go through so much effort to place an order.

After a long day desert wandering, we spent an evening at 29 Palms Inn Restaurant, and the whole…read moreplace carries this calm, grounded energy that makes you instinctively lower your voice a notch and settle in. The restaurant itself is simple and inviting, understated in the best way. We didn't have reservations, so we sat at the bar, despite several empty tables giving us that "maybe we could have gambled" feeling. Still, the bar turned out to be a good perch for the evening. Kristin, if I caught her name correctly, was running the universe behind that bar. Mixing drinks, serving dinner, managing patrons, and somehow still staying friendly through it all. Watching bartenders during dinner rushes always feels a little like witnessing Olympic-level multitasking. I was especially excited to order the hearts of palm cakes because hearts of palm were a staple in my childhood home. Sadly, they were out of them. A small heartbreak occurred. I survived bravely. Roadtrip mode had fully turned us into tapas people by then, so we ordered a spread of appetizers and a salad to share. The Inn's famous sautéed mushrooms absolutely deserved their reputation, buttery, garlicky, lemony little flavor bombs. The toasted ravioli with house marinara disappeared quickly, the beet and orange salad was fresh and balanced, and the falafel bites were tasty, though I personally would have loved them just a bit crispier. I enjoyed a couple of Old Fashioneds, and the live music that evening was genuinely excellent. The woman performing had one of those voices that makes you stop mid-bite for a second just to listen. Not bad company for dinner. The only thing I wish they'd improve is accessibility. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, but a bit more consideration for guests with mobility challenges would go a long way in making that peace more inclusive. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening. Good food, good music, strong cocktails, desert night air, and that slow-roadtrip feeling where nobody's in a hurry anymore.

RUDE AF, had a stank attitude as I drove up. The short girl with medium brown hair, which I'm…read moreassuming is the manager (only one wearing a black shirt today) was nasty off the bat. I placed my order ahead of time so that it would be an easier drive thru pick up for everyone and she came off as I was inconveniencing her. On top of it my order was wrong, and the French toast sticks were inedible because they were so damn hard. I didn't order rocks, I ordered French toast sticks; I had to throw ALL of them away as they were extremely stale When I drove back to get my order "fixed", she still had a rank demeanor and to "fix" it they just added a little sauce to the COLD mozzarella sticks. Felt like their attitude was like "here damn". I get that working fast food is a tough busy job and everyone has their days (most of us have worked customer service jobs and know what it inquires) but it's not an excuse to be so nasty & so rude she needs better training, everyone else here is lovely however. The craziest part is that I placed this same order last night at 1:30AM and everyone was super friendly and the food was perfect. Y'all won't flourish with her as a lead lmao, retrain her asap. Good luck

I was told the wait time would be about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking around 45 minutes. After waiting that long, the food was very disappointing. The presentation was messy, the sauce spilled all over the bag, and the burger/fries looked like they were just thrown into the box. The lettuce and ingredients did not look fresh or properly prepared. I understand delays can happen when a restaurant is busy, but this was 11 AM and the place was empty. Very frustrating experience for a simple to-go order. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. One star.

We recently tried this location of Fisherman's Market & Grill. It's hidden in the corner of the…read moreplaza next to Trader Joes. The inside is small, but they have outside patio seating as well. Casual setting. You walk up and order, pay, then you can seat yourself and your food is brought out to you. The cashier was not very friendly, but I did notice she left shortly after, so I guess it was the end of her shift. The man who brought out the food and checked on us was very attentive asking if we needing anything else several times. Two of us ordered off the "Early Bird Special's", which are served daily from 3 PM to 5:30 PM. We both ordered the 3 piece fish & chips. They were very good. Three large pieces of fish and potato wedges, everything fresh, also instead of coleslaw we were able substitute for a $1 more a small Cesar side salad. The dressing was good, very tasty. My daughter ordered off the regular menu, she got the Hawaiian Combo. This has salmon, mahi-mahi and grilled shrimp, teriyaki sauce and grilled pineapple, with sweet potato fries and a Cesar's salad, as her sides. She said everything was very good, except the shrimp was a little overcooked. We also ordered a side of cheese garlic bread, which was fresh and tasty, did not disappoint! We have been to the Palm Springs location as well, a few years back and we remember that location also having good food and we were closer to this location so we decided to give it a try. Definitely worth it and we will be back again to try something new on the large menu!

We food not order a cup, never said the word cup, and she hadn't even been the one to take our order. She didn't offer to give us a larger order. She was defensive and dismissive. Later i checked my charges, and they did indeed charge us $14 for a tiny cup of soup. Won't be going back.

We kept it simple, a couple of salads with a cup of chili on the side. Sometimes simple is exactly right. The salads were fresh, crisp, and actually satisfying, not the sad afterthought kind. And the chili? Genuinely delicious. Rich, comforting, and good enough that I took the rest to go so I could upgrade the next morning's hotel breakfast. No regrets there. The space is casual and lively, nothing fancy, but it has a welcoming energy that makes you want to stay a bit. It was busy when we arrived, always a good sign, and the service matched the vibe. Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. All in, a really nice stop. Fresh food, warm service, and exactly the kind of place you're glad you found after a long stretch on the road.

The Inn is super welcoming. Lydia at the front desk was kind and responsive to my changing needs (i kept adding days.) Nearly every person staying here that I met were displaced Angelenos. Morning breakfast (great selection) was a place to connect and grieve. At night, dinner in the restaurant was an escape from the news. I like sitting at the bar. I met a slew of locals who were super kind and welcoming. Cowboy. TJ. Vickie. And a host of others... They made me feel like a regular immediately. Carrie (Kari?) the bartender was top notch - attentive, talkative and enthusiastic. I met her fab parents and even shared goodbye hugs. (That's a good human!) Ashley (the manager) was equally wonderful on Sunday night. I was entertained by visiting artists each night too. Bowdie welcomed me regularly. I stayed in the Bottle Room (my fave) for three nights and Goldenbush for 2. Goldenbush is quieter and more light but the Bottle room has a tub! Much needed after a stressful getaway from LA. Plus, I left my laptop and the cleaning crew - two warm women- made sure I was notified immediately. This is my 4th stay at the Inn. The proximity to the park is perfect. I can't express enough how much this place means to me. Thanks 29 Palms. You are funky, and clean, and beautiful, and dry (my God is it dry here) and filled with nice personal touches (lunch options are deeply appreciated.) May you live long and prosper. Until we meet again. I hope we do.
