AMAZING!! Came here for some dinner with my family, the hostess said there was drag bingo and we said absolutely!! Drag bingo every Tuesday at 7pm. So fun!! The food is pricey, but it's so worth it. Absolutely delicious. Cute little hotel restaurant, spacious and clean!! Love it here!! read more

$40 meatloaf & beer. Pre tax and tip. Delicious. Very good service. BINGO was a blast, consider it dinner and a show for the price of your meal. Kings Highway at the Ace Hotel does an excellent job of making you feel like royalty, which is important, because the menu prices certainly expect you to feel that way. But let's be honest, it's still a hotel restaurant. And hotel restaurants in premium destinations, like Palm Springs, rarely cater to travelers with beer budgets with champagne tastes. You're paying for the location, the atmosphere, and here specifically the mythology wrapped around this property as much as the meal itself. For this isn't just any hotel, this is the Ace Hotel. It is practically sacred ground for the hipster pilgrimage. Its OG ground zero for the influencer backdrop. In many ways, its trajectory mirrors what happened to Coachella or Burning Man: once an affordable, quirky alternative experience, now polished into a premium-priced cultural institution. Still, despite a few noticeable cracks in the armor, there's a lot to like here. First, the food. The meatloaf was soft, juicy, and flavorful. It's comfort food without becoming pretentious. The carrots were cooked perfectly. Those were tender, but still with enough firmness to remind you they were once vegetables. The mashed potatoes were exactly what mashed potatoes should be comforting and neutral. A great backdrop to the main. While scanning the fine details of the menu, there's a small line buried almost in fine print atop the dinner selection offering a glass of wine or beer with your entrée for an additional $8. As silly as it sounds, that qualifies as a bargain. Then came dessert - a warm sticky toffee date cake topped with vanilla ice cream, candied pecans, and caramel drizzle. Spectacular!!! I was lucky because it wasn't even on the menu yet, but I won it during on a game of BINGO. And BINGO night itself was pretty darn entertaining. Norma Lee High and Ms. Cherry Superstar kept the entire room moving with sharp narration, quick banter, and infectious energy. Their chemistry carried the night and gave the restaurant an atmosphere that felt more like dinner theater than simple dining. It's not filthy, adult, or aggressive, but for whatever reason its just not designed for everyone. There are references younger guests miss. If you proudly voted for Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, Tuesday night at Kings Highway may not be your scene. Now with all that said, some issues did appear, but none of these were devastating individually, but collectively enough to dull the shine a bit. For starters, the public-facing information for the restaurant desperately needs attention. The online BINGO times are incorrect, some listings still reference 2025 dates, the start and end times are wrong, and the online menu doesn't match the physical menu they hand you at the table. And one menu item stretched the truth. The ribs advertised "homemade BBQ sauce," yet sitting behind the counter was a commercial sauce bottle bought in bulk. It's a small detail, but details matter when you're charging premium prices. Then there are the sticky counters. Strangely enough, this isn't a cleanliness issue. The counter itself were clean. The tackiness likely comes from years of commercial sanitizers slowly breaking down the varnish, leaving behind a sticky film that some might mistake as something other than clean. In reality, it probably means they wipe the counters down constantly. They just haven't refinished the surface in a very long time. So the issue is upkeep. Speaking of upkeep, there is a 5% dine-in surcharge. A surcharge that does not go to the staff feels less like hospitality and more like naked profiteering. At least if the cost were simply built into the menu prices, the service staff would likely benefit from increased tip percentages alongside the restaurant itself. Additionally, when the bill is presented it's by the handheld computer that never leaves the servers hand. There's no physical copy. There's no chance to review and calculate. It's an under the gun sort of thing. I don't have those anxieties, but others may. I do enjoy a more leisurely approach to settling the bill because it is all part of the dining experience. All these financials as presented, leaves a sour final impression after an otherwise genuinely good dining experience and entertaining night. Lastly, and this is more about Palm Springs as a whole than Kings Highway specifically, I hope the city avoids falling into the same trap Vegas did years ago when the experience starts getting overshadowed by the price tag. Because once that happens, people stop talking about the atmosphere, the food, or whatever. They only talk about what everything cost. Still, Kings Highway succeeds where many hotel restaurants fail in that at least on Tuesday nights it gives you a memorable evening. Maybe not a perfect one, but definitely one you'll talk about afterward. read more

We stopped by for a Mother's Day brunch. The patio by the pool is nice. We had sat out there before. If I visit again I'd be interested in sitting inside. The brunch was really good. I ordered the breakfast burrito. It was loaded with all the good stuff: bacon, egg, potato, avocado, salsa. Served on a bed of tortilla chips with a side of salsa verde. My wife ordered a waffle and waffle and thought it was fine. They gave her macaroons to go as a Mother's Day gift, which was sweet. Service was fine. It's always been a tad slow here, but it's ok because I'll spend the extra time soaking in the views and atmosphere. read more

Left with a to go order of the classic Reuben sando ($30) the bread wasn't griddled as I'm taking a bite of it I find a long red hair that seemed maybe it belonged to one of the women at the counter. I don't come to town that often so I couldn't go back to return it and also I couldn't get on the phone with anyone when I tried to call. For $30 I was expecting a lot better experience for a sandwich. Hard to want to come back to this place when the menu & prices keep going up and feels like gouging tbh. read more

King's Highway...more like highway robbery! The increase in prices since Ace has been bought by Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide is ridiculous. We could have had dinner next door at Mr Lyon's steakhouse for the same price. $23 Espresso martinis is like Four Seasons/Ritz Carlton type BS. And we had to pay a surcharge to dine in???? I've been coming here for more than a decade. Now, I come with my family because my son loves it. The service is great. Wait staff is friendly, so this is not about them at all! The ownership change is going to drive this place into the ground, it's a shame. We heard several others complaining about the same thing. Even drip coffee is $9 when you can walk next door to Koffi and get it for half the price. read more

WOW what happened to King's Highway?? If you look at my avocado toast from my previous review vs now the difference is so disappointing. A tiny piece of wheat toast, shoddy presentation, no jammy tomatoes, no sprouts... with a much higher price point?? Same with the breakfast sandwich, no more greens in the sandwich and quite literally just a piece of egg, bacon and cheese under a bun. Also the latte was terrible, it was super foamy and milk was borderline burnt. We typically make an extra Palm Springs stop just to grab breakfast here, but this new menu is NOT it. Sadly won't be returning :((( read more

Wow! Prices have gone through the roof! 2 eggs, 2bacon, potato and 1 slice of toast is $28! Coffee is $9. With all the CA surcharge plus a 15% tip breakfast for 2 is $100. Food is good, but not that good. I love the vibe and service was good, but the sticker shock made this my last time at Kings. Adios. read more

I have eaten here for years ever since they opened. Over the years the food cycles between serviceable to terrible - at the moment the food is pretty good. BUT they just raised their already high prices AND want to add a 5% SURCHARGE to the bill THAT DOES NOT GO TO YOUR SERVER This translates to about $35 for a short stack of pancakes (with tax and tip), no meat, no eggs, no sides. Competing hotels in the area charge $12-$18 for a short stack. No thank you. Do better Kings Highway. read more

This place is wonderful. The vibe is casual hip, and the food is delicious. They have a mezze trio plate that is my favorite. The hummus is the thicker type, which I love, with 2 other dips, grilled pita, and crudite vegetables that are "bottomless". They have a smash burger that is done really well, and their fries are the crispy type. They also make awesome shakes, with the date shake being my fave. Great ambience, friendly service, awesome food. If you're a local be sure to tell them because you get a 25% discount. read more

Cute building. For a diner the food is shockingly expensive. It's nice they have a cocktail menu but even draft beers are $14!!! The food is expensive, noticed a salad for $28 but you can also add salmon for another $18. That's nearly $50 for a salmon salad at a diner. So that's whack. Service was ok. read more

I have eaten here over the years countless times and love coming back whenever i'm in town, seeing a few of the staff members who have been there forever. But I'm not sure i will be coming back as long as the prices stay where they are. The prices are close to DOUBLE what they should be. While i love the property, this is not a 5 star resort guys. Last time I was there it cost me $60 for a breakfast burrito and yogurt. The food is good, but it's not $60 / person good. On top of that there is a new mystery service charge of 5% that goes who knows where. You can't double your prices AND charge a service charge. In the age of a la cart / pay for every little thing that used to be free / every business turning into the airline business model, maybe not doing that is a novel idea? There are nicer hotels in PS with cheaper and better food. Please get it together guys and show your clientele that you care. read more

A brief update: Today, I had another wonderful and terrific lunch at King's Highway. The Mid-Eastern Mezzo -Trio dish was perfect. The dish is great for sharing: classic hummus; tzatziki; whipped feta; cucumbers; and pita chips. I have eaten here several times now. Ana, our server, is always so polite, friendly, efficient, and just so down to earth - nice. Ana keeps the ambiance super cool and fun. I come here for the good food, the discounts for locals, and Ana's exceptional service. Ana, thank you for making my meals and visits at King's Highway memorable, pleasant, and enjoyable. I will return! read more

What a Vibe!! Someone suggested us this place for brunch in Palm Springs. The interior is lovely with beautiful details. We had pets with our group so we couldn't sit indoors, however the patio too was perfect to spend a nice time having lunch with live music at the pool and total vacation vibes. We had a trio mezze platter, Fried cauliflower in appetizers. We loved both. Pasta in the main course was okay. It was the only vegetarian option available in main course. I hope they add more vegetarian options. Service was good. read more

Service & food quality very good. Fit and finish to both inside and outside is lacking. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS PRICE - they are charging more than the Ritz Carlton for coffee - a 2 egg breakfast with protein and potatoes and one slice of bread is $28. They are $5-10 per person too high on each breakfast menu item. read more

I can't brag enough how fantastic of a server Daniel was the day my friends and I visited in August. He's what one would call top tier server. He was friendly, welcoming, informative, and extra attentive. Serving just came natural to him, it seems. We weren't the only table he was serving. There were several others. We liked him. It was my first time at Kings Highway. I liked the restaurant. It was interesting and unique place. The macramé giant elephant hanging on the wall was a show stopper. Food was good. Will have to come back again to try out other bites read more

Been here twice. Really cute vibe that recalls an old school diner with clear hipster influences. The crowd also was mostly groups of party goers and a few families and couples. Mimosa and Spritzes were nice as was the steak and eggs , which I had for breakfast and for dinner one time my boyfriend and shared a salad and the fusilli. My teenager enjoyed the fish tacos. Service was great one time and another time just ok - but not because the guy was bad or anything. He just wasn't in the best of moods and that happens. read more

Superb bloody Mary and incredible pancakes. Love the retro mid-century vibe inside. We have great service too, very attentive and even offered to go drink drinks on the house as we were leaving. read more

The service was fine. The menu varied. The setting cool and retro diner casual. The pricing exorbitant for what it offers - a $29 burger? $29 chicken sandwich? C'mon! It's not that good. read more

One of the worst dining experiences i've ever had. My partner and I waited over an hour for our food which was subpar at best. Several tables around us had sent items back to the kitchen for issues with their food. No apologies from the wait staff for the food delays. An iced coffee was $10.50. The breakfast plates were under seasoned, small portions and overpriced. Go to Elmer's across the street, all around not worth your time other than to pop in a take a picture of the inside. read more

Great American diner attached to the Ace Hotel. Loved how much character the interior had and loved the overall ambiance and friendly staff.

Stopped here for breakfast and ordered coffee (Stumptown), highway breakfast with chicken sausage and ricotta pancakes - everything was tasty and really good food.

We went there on a Sunday morning, we were lucky it wasn't that busy, we were seated right away. Everyone's meal was so delicious , coffee was great, strong and not bitter, We ordered some fresh orange juice for $10 and we thought we would get a nice glass of orange juice but it was a half a glass. That's my only complaint.. The waiter was pleasant, although he didn't stop by our table too often to see how we were . We love the atmosphere and also the building . Will be back next time in Palm Springs. read more

$26 for a stack of pancakes! $16 for a small glass of OJ? Are you serious?! Won't be back.

King's Highway was a surprise hit on a weekend getaway to Palm Springs. Located inside the Ace hotel, King's Highway has a beautiful midcentury decor that transports to you a 60s diner. Service was quick and straight to the point as it was not a very busy Sunday afternoon. Everyone has preconceived notions about diner food, but our meals were surprisingly very tasty! We had the breakfast burrito, eggs benedict, and a side order of the ricotta pancakes. All were large portions and flavorful. I only wish the salsa verde was a little bit spicer, but luckily the tapatío on the table saved the day. We will definitely go back on our next trip to Palm Springs! read more

This used to be a fun, welcoming, local dining spot with good food at fair prices. Yikes! What happened. The prices are now in the stratosphere and the food a solid 4 out of 10. I had a half rack of ribs with cole slaw and Mac and cheese for $38. So mediocre. The ribs at Billy Reeds are twice as good at half the price for a full order. The Mac and cheese was flavorless and the slaw, unremarkable. What are these guys thinking? read more

Cute place This is a cute little dinner type of breakfast place straight out of the 60' - 70's. You can tell by looking at this building that it has a strong mid-century modern vibe. It may have had some updates to make it more modern, but it still feels very retro. As for the food, they have many 21st century items that meet the needs of people today that like clean and healthy foods. There are fresh juices to pick from, and the menu definitely feels like it is geared towards a modern and healthy lifestyle.... not the generic diet of the 70's. It's open and airy and overall has a relaxed and hip vibe. I recommend this place for breakfast! read more

From start to finish, a really disappointing breakfast. Out of the gate, you may notice that the Ace Hotel/King's Highway website does not post prices on its menu. There's a good reason: the prices are insane. $26 for huevos rancheros in the case of what I ordered. And $8 for a small drip coffee. Still, I gasped and ordered. On the coffee side, I got a cup of mediocre, stalish Stumptown coffee, and I was never offered (much less requested) a warm-up, because I was afraid it would be another $8. The huevos rancheros were beneath ordinary, at any cost. Two stale tortillas, two fried eggs, topped with boring salsa verde. Brownish avocado slices as garnish. Pico de gallo on the side that had no taste at all. Were there beans? If so, they weren't noticeable. That's it amigos. The restaurant was empty and it took 20 min to get my breakfast. I had to get up to pay my bill, and was asked if I wanted a take-out cup of coffee. Yes, they would have charged me another $8. Oh, and if you wanted, say, a take-out croissant, how about another $12? There was no trace of hospitality...that would have been an extra charge I guess. Or against Ace Hotel atmospheric policy. read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious dinner at King's Highway during our stay at ACE this weekend and I was extremely pleased with the service and food. We started out with cocktails, they were delicious and well presented, our meal consisted of Mushroom Ravioli and the Caesar Salad, both dishes were bursting with flavor and complemented each other very well. The portions were generous and the food was plated nicely, the ingredients were fresh and noticeably made in-house. The ambiance was relaxed, retro and comfortable and our server was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. She served our meal with a smile and offered recommendations and went out of her way to get information when we asked for it. The setting is on the casual side and not very intimate with booth seating but the decor makes for a fun date night. Will definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in the area. read more

I'm at the age where I slightly EYE-ROLL at the idea of going to the Ace Hotel for food... but the former Denny's-turned classy modern-retro diner did not disappoint. Fortunately, it was a quiet Tuesday morning and all the party kids (whom I assume stay there on weekends) were gone, and the place was not crowded at all. I was a basic B and got the Breakfast Burrito - damn, it was good. The Coffee is STUMPTOWN and it was f-ing good. Almost good enough to make me pay 17 for it at the grocery store... (almost) Staff was attentive and friendly. Turned out to be the perfect pitstop before our drive back to LA. read more

My husband and I have enjoyed several meals here off and on over the years. And have brought family from out of town here as well and suggested Kings Hideaway as a must visit to local friends. That is up til now, a large portion of the menu has changed. I was told when I inquired about the change that the menu changes every few months. I did not argue but I never noticed over the last 3 years. Maybe because every one of my favs is missing it struck me as hard. So in closing I'm looking for a place that sells great onion rings Oh and how I'll miss the green goddess dressing. read more
