    Breakfast Combo (B)
    Brielle O.

    Love this place. I have been to goodys as it has been an OG spot in all the desert cities. The vibe is definitely a little off at the Palm Springs location but it's a good place to get an easy breakfast and bounce out. I like they have some many options for breakfast. Obviously just a little greasy but it's good for hangover haha.

    Breakfast Time

    Visited 6/20/2025 A great visit to a great fast food diner/ Cafe. Monster Menu even Breakfast all day. Very popular place with a lot of take out options. I had breakfast and was pleasantly pleased with the food and the large servings. Fast Friendly service. Great place for grab and go or inside dining.

    Orange juice

    Do not come here if you have food allergies they are barely able to accommodate anything, even using butter instead of soy oil to cook your food. They did actually use butter to cook / burn my omelette. Honestly this was the ugliest omelette i have ever seen in my life, and it tasted as bad as it looked. Who cooks avocado?? They refused to cook hash browns in butter and still changed me full price for the ugliest omelette in the world. I didn't even get toast. They looked really annoyed too, like please, i am the one who lives with this ALL THE TIME i PROMISE it is more annoying for me. I am on vacation and had the best meal at a Denny's yesterday i couldn't actually believe it! They had an entire menu listing their allergens and it was great. This place is the worst. Cheap and dirty looking too. Don't be deceived by the oranges on the counter either, if you order the $7 orange juice it will come in prepackaged bottle that looks like it is from a school cafeteria anyway. They're not squeezing anything here. Skip this place forever!

    Breakfast plate with french toast and Deluxe Breakfast!

    There is something to be said about a GOOD diner. No frills, or trendy nonsense just straightforward good food. Opens EARLY.. probably one of the earliest breakfast places in Palm Springs besides the 24/7 chains. We came in before sunrise at 5:15 and ordered the Breakfast plate with French toast, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, and 2 sausage. Partner got the deluxe breakfast that came with pancakes, hash browns, toast, 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon. Everything was delivered to our table hot and BEAUTIFUL. For very visit we have had the service was professional and handled without a struggle. Whether it was an unusually early morning OR a last min night bite before 10:00PM that we wanted some good food, with solid service, and the best bang for our buck. Everything has been super consistent and my personal favorites are the dinner options which come with soup or salad, cheese toast, your main and choice of sides. OR Get any of the Burgers which are HUGE and always good. Honestly? This is our favorite go to joint that doesn't require you to get dolled up for good food. The Drive thru is equally well managed however make sure you vent your fries or fried zucchini cause those suckers come out HOT and you don't want to have steamed food by the time you get home.

    Breakfast burrito

    I have had a few bad experiences lately. I keep feeling ripped off. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was the worst. Everything was dry and hash browns were stale. They added a bunch of pre-prepped bacon so it made it very salty. My eggs were brown of how much they overcooked them. I have gone through drive through a few times and they usually forget something. I ask for chilies and they never put any. Last time I waited at the window for someone to come back so that I could ask for chilies again. I paid $16.95 for a horrible burrito. I used to like goody's. It's a shame. Also, the drive thru people don't seem to care and/or pay attention and have nonchalant customer service.

    Everything was good here. Fried food was crispy and juicy. Their soup was delicious. This is your typical local greasy spoon for hangover or just family dinning. Super affordable and quick.

    Plate C

    Stopped here on the way to the air museum for breakfast. It's a neat place. The food is good. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. I had Plate C (biscuits n gravy, eggs, bacon and sausage). My wife had the pastrami omelet with sourdough toast. By the way they fresh squeeze their orange juice. Very tasty. Nothing fancy, just decent food and drink in a clean restaurant. They have a drive through that was constantly busy so it must travel well. We will definitely return next trip to Palm Springs.

    Wheelchair accessible all around! They also have a drive-thru! Cute breakfast/brunch place with more affordable prices than most others! They had decorations inside for Christmas, and the employees were very nice! Everything was clean, and the food tasted good. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating, as well as a drive-thru!

The gentleman running the register and taking orders was very friendly and interactive. You place your order at the counter, and they call your number to pick up; however, I raised my hand when they called me, and the young lady brought it out to my table. She even went back into the kitchen to gather additional condiments. Once again, the tabletops were clean, and they have a large dining area with tables to accommodate larger groups. FOOD: I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger Combo, which came with fries or rings, and a soda. The price was reasonable, and the burger itself was very tasty, the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the bun was better than last time (didn't get soggy). Fries came out hot, but not too crisp. Unfortunately, no bleu cheese dressing was available to dip my fries in. Overall, the service was good, and the food was decent, especially the burger. I'm sure I'll be trying this place again as there are plenty of other menu items that look worth a try.

    Even during the week this place gets pretty busy. That…read morealways means one thing, they must be good. We stopped by Monday morning not too long after they opened. Patio seating was pretty much all opened when we arrived which the inside was pretty much utilized. We had a big group which they could seat us right away. The place outside did pick up pretty fast after we got seated. Even for a place that's only open for a limited time daily, it does gets a good crowd. Service is alway great when we visit. From the hostess to the waiter and all the staff. Also the main attraction, the food. I think we were pretty much a little bit off on the alcohol from the night before...lol... But food, that's what it's all about. They do have a really good menu for breakfast and brunch. If breakfast is what you're carving, there's a good amount of dishes. Same as lunches. A Bloody Mary was ordered and that was quite nice. Accompanied by a slice of bacon and the trimmings, olives, peppercini and gherkin. As for food, a bit of everything was ordered. Breakfast comes with whatever you order and a side of something with toast. The steak omelette was quite nice with a good amount of chunks of steaks. That was served with whatever side which tater tots was a win win and toast. Also a slice of pancakes on the sides. The salmon toast with eggs any style was nice too. All their breakfast is quite tasty and pretty filling. Each meals we've had here has alway been great. All the times we've been, it's always been breakfast that was had. Keep saying that we need to try their lunch items as it sounds good but tend to always lean toward breakfast. Give us another reason to come back.

Our overall experience was lacking in almost every way. We were seated outside, and this was bad. The only available table was on the side by the street, and we were in full blast range for the wind and the sound of their outdoor AC. I can't put it to words how this impacted our overall meal, and the immediate regret we felt. Their indoor seating was also not going to be possible for us because of just how loud it was. Our server took our food and drink order right away, but she never checked in on us after the drop off. I ordered the Irish iced coffee, looking forward to getting a nice treat drink. I ended up getting just a regular iced coffee, and unfortunately I had no chance to try and flag anyone down to get this sorted out since we were never checked on once the items were delivered. This includes the waters we ordered for the table as well. The only good thing about this was that I was only charged for an iced coffee. The eggs Benedict were simply "ok" and rather unremarkable. They arrived just above room temperature and while they weren't bad, they weren't great either. The sandwich was fine, but the home fries were over seasoned by far and had way too much salt. Overall, this was a disappointing brunch. Unless they really look into the quality of the food, the lack of table service, and their terrible side dining area by their outdoor AC, I can say we have no plans on returning.

FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main.

But now and again, you want to try someplace and something new. It's that comfort knowing what you like and expect so you won't be disappointed. Well, the good and trusty friend called Yelp. We found this place and decided to give it a try. It's located in the Date Palm Country Club community. Just along Date Palm before the bridge and before you reach downtown Cathedral City. It's maybe a 2 minute drive after you enter the gate. First off, it's part of the country club which we found out while we were there that it's a 55 and older community. Restaurant is next to the club house and pool area. There's a decent amount of parking along the side as well as main lot. We stopped by around 7pm for dinner. Didn't make reservations but walk in. There had to be something going on as when we walked in, the place was packed. We came in through the back area where the patio and bar was. Even the bar area was packed. At first we didn't know where to go until one of the patron mentioned to us that we may need to check in with the hostess at the front entrance. I love that everyone was so friendly. And let me say, it was lively and pretty packed. Both the restaurant side and bar were packed as there was a party happening at one of the table. We were seated at one of the tables in the main dining area but it was a little too loud for us which we were then guided to the bar area and seated at the counter.It was fine. These guest can party...lol... It does cater to the mature guest which they were the greatest. I feel like a lot of the patrons are residents but chatting with some of the others in the bar area, they do get a lot of locals stopping in for a meal and drinks. Main dining room was packed with diners and people dancing as there was entertainment. Plus the music choice was excellent as well as the singer. Bar was no different, it was packed. We were seated at the bar counter which was pretty packed just as well. Menu, it was a mixture of everything and the price was very affordable. It did take a while to be taken cared of which was expected with everything going on. Bartender did acknowledge us at least we knew we were seen. For dinner, we ordered the chopped wedge but was brought out the Caesar salad instead. We did mentioned to the bartender which she did take it back to the kitchen. Entrees, the chicken Parmesan served with spaghetti and zucchini. Chicken was good, nothing wow but tasty. Pasta was decent but the sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Overall it was fine. Also the carbonara was ordered. That comes either the small portion or large. We opted for the small. Decent size bowl with bacon and peas in a rich cream sauce. Overall, I've had better. Flavor was fine but nothing major to rave about. Halfway through the meal, you could see how greasy the dish was. Given there's cheese but it was greasy. As there was a birthday happening, the host did bring out cake for everyone which was very sweet. The crowd was pretty lively and sweet. Everyone was so friendly enjoying their drinks and meals. It did look like it was the residents but we did noticed that a lot of the patrons at the bar counter were locals. For the price it's very good. Food was decent, service was ok but the staffs were amazing and very friendly. There was little glitch twice with the alarm during dinner but it did get situated. Overall we enjoyed ourself.

Paul greeted us himself when we arrived and gave us a realistic idea of the wait, which we really appreciated. It felt less like being processed through a host stand and more like being welcomed in. While we waited, one of the servers came over to see if we wanted to start with drinks. Naturally, we said yes. Once we were seated, everyone at the table had the same reaction to the portions: pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Steak Frites, and my steak was cooked exactly how I asked for it. One friend had the rack of lamb, while another ordered the clams, which came in a generous bowl with toasted bread for soaking up the broth. For the quality and portion sizes, the prices felt pretty reasonable for Palm Springs. Then there were the cocktails. We ordered a round. Then another. At some point, all of us quietly abandoned the idea that we were only having one or two drinks. They were that good. Paul came by later to check on us, and somehow we ended up hearing stories from his Studio 54 days. His sense of humor is sharp, and he has a way of making conversation feel effortless. Dinner basically turned into story time, and none of us wanted him to leave. He even checked in with us again after dinner. We seriously could have listened to him all night. That was what made the evening for me. The food was excellent, the cocktails were good enough to convince us into a few extra rounds, and the room has plenty of personality on its own. Paul's warmth and humor made the whole experience feel personal in a way you don't come across very often. My friend may have been the one campaigning to come here, but by the end of dinner, he had successfully converted the entire table. We're definitely coming back!

Paul Bar is a fabulous experience, I've been here many times and the food as well as the service are always excellent! One of the many really interesting parts is there is a line to get in that starts well before the place opens up at 4 pm and it's like that most of the night HOWEVER the line moves quickly and once you get inside....OMG, you are transported into a really cool, dimly lit, swanky NY supper club with leather booths, tall bar tables plus there's seating at the bar (with many colorful locals that you'll probably end up making friends with) and the selection of food & drinks are so diverse, everything that my friends and I have ordered have been outstanding! Paul the owner who is very sweet is always there and oversees everything in his own quiet way to make sure everything is running smoothly and that his guests are happy, Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is the place to go for really great food, a fun time and an immersive experience and I promise you'll come back

I've been getting a little fed up with relying on Google recommendations lately. You'll see places with 5,000+ reviews and almost five stars, then you actually go there and the food is a huge disappointment. FARM was one of those places where the food actually lived up to the reviews and the hype. I ordered the Spanish Migas with a side of potatoes and a small French press. The Migas were perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just right. You could taste each ingredient separately, and the salsa was really good too. The potatoes were probably one of my favorite parts--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was great as well. My server, Carol R., was very attentive and kept checking on me throughout the meal. She even double-checked the name and receipt, which I appreciated because she was clearly paying attention to the details and making sure everything was correct. The atmosphere is really nice too. It actually feels like you're sitting on a farm, which makes the whole brunch experience feel special. And considering the portion size, quality of the food, and how popular this place is, I thought the price was very reasonable. This place actually met my expectations, which has been rare lately. If you're in Palm Springs and looking for a good brunch spot, I'd definitely recommend FARM. I just wish I had found this place sooner!
