    Mac N Cheese
    Ashley N.

    Jackalope Ranch remains one of my regular dinner reservations when visiting my family in La Quinta. The restaurant is huge, but I still recommend making a reservation on Open Table. Inside is beautifully decorated, but I still prefer outdoor seating - there's plenty of heaters to keep you warm! The happy hour menu is limited in terms of food, and admittedly, I didn't love my wings this year. They used to have an awesome sauce, but are now served with sauce on the side, which made the wings seem dry. The meal was redeemed by the BBQ Platter, which my family usually shares with a full order of Mac n Cheese. We love sharing all of the meats and sides! Power rankings of the proteins: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, hot link! But truly, we ate it all - clean plate club!

    Prime Ribeye 15oz
    Kirk D.

    The food was definitely a lot better than I expected! I was judging this based on a past visit loooong ago, which was not memorable. But to my surprise my experience last night was great! The ambiance was nice and cozy, it'd make for a great date night spot for sure, but nothing too intimate. I ordered the Prime Ribeye with a loaded potato (just your average loaded potato) and I must say for the hefty price of $68 you can probably just buy and cook a better steak yourself (obviously). But for the price I paid, the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, pink in the middle with a nice crust, did not need any sauce as it was seasoned to perfection in my opinion. I can't say it will be cooked that way every day, but whoever was in kitchen that night, I thank you

    This establishment was clean. It was definitely a good experience. I will be returning here. The music was fun and our server was was present. The server kept coming back to check on us. The ribs, nachos, calamari was tasty. The entrance to the establishment is beautiful

    Fish and Chips
    Kathy S.

    Cute ambiance and great service. We had a party of 6 to jump start my hubby's 50th bday extravaganza. I tried the fish and chips. I loved that it was a decent portion and the fish was not overly breaded and puffed out too big. My hubby tried the tri-tip salad which was good. The meat was a bit overdone but they brought out a fresh batch of cooked meat the way he likes it.

    From the moment I walked in and was greeted by the hostesses with their big, welcoming smiles, to strolling through the restaurant and feeling how friendly everyone was, my experience at Jackalope Ranch in La Quinta was just wonderful. Huge thanks to the whole team--Jessica and Mario, the bartenders, were incredibly welcoming after their summer closure, and Charlie, the general manager, made sure everything was flawless. The atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous--sitting outside on a beautiful day made it even more special. The meatloaf was my top pick, and the whole dining experience was delightful. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Beef rib, substituted for garlic mash potatoes and asparagus.

    The ambiance is beautiful. A gorgeous outside garden lounge area with full bar. The hostess staff wasn't overly friendly, but our server did a great job to make up for it. The interior looks like a set out of Yellowstone. If you're looking for a great fancy date night, this place did not disappoint. We had several appetizers. But the star of the show was definitely my beef rib meal and non-alcoholic spicy margarita. It is so hard to find good NA places and I couldn't believe how good and authentic they tasted. I had been craving a beef rib for some time, and happy I found this place. The little bread muffin was excellent and buttery and soft. We will definitely be visiting again soon!

    The restaurant is just awesome, we opted to sit outside with the waterfalls and palm trees, the grounds are immaculate, the food was great, the wagyu brisket was fall apart tender, prime rib perfect we were here on Valentines Day so it was a set menu but will be back to try more of the menu on a regular day, the service here was superb as well .

    Beautiful place in Indio. We visited on a Saturday where they have a different lunch menu. More brunch oriented. Decor reminds me of a ranch home in Montana or Texas. Ok menu. Ok service. Typical prices. Nothing spectacular. I'd like to return for a sporting event to watch on that 100" television.

We took them to go (absolutely no stomach real-estate after the sandwiches). All were good but rich peanut butter brownie mousse stood out as our favorite!!! I do wish the bakery sold the jalapeño focaccia, I would have loved to have taken some home! I'll be back, often.

Everything down to the chicken, the fillings, and the crepe itself were just delicious. I came as a party of 3 and for the first half of our eating experience we were eating in complete silence because of how good our wraps tasted. That itself should be a testament to how great this place is. As an added plus, they had a water station & great music to vibe with. The contents can be a bit heavy though so if you're looking for a light breakfast, sharing one crepe wrap amongst two would be the way to go. Towards the end of my crepe I noticed that I was slowing down because of how heavy the flavor profiles were, so having something to contrast that, like a lighter side dish, would've been nice.

My hubby asked for the large 16" Philly, and even clarified twice, but was charged & given the small 8" one instead. He was also bummed that his Philly didn't come with fries, we thought it came with it since it wasn't clarified on the menu nor did the boy taking our order asked if we wanted fries with it. Nevertheless, my husband loved his Philly cheesesteak. Also, none of us asked for lumpia, but it was added to our order. It was a nice mistake tho because the pork lumpia was crispy & delicious. I also ordered both the lechon kawali & the tapsilog. The tapas in the tapsilog was delicious & had the perfect flavor. The lechon kawali could have been a little crisper, but my husband enjoyed that as well. We would definitely come back next time we're in town & craving Filipino & cheesesteaks.
