Great find! The omelette I built was flavorful and the home potatoes were seasoned perfectly. (You can't believe how some people can screw up eggs). Husband ordered the chicken fried steak- the gravy was delicious. Little things like having flavored creamer for our coffee is always an added bonus. Portions are generous and the service was quick and friendly! read more

Wow, everything was top tier. The service is excellent, and the food sublime. I had the build your own omelette with double chicken breast with veggies and feta. Very well made omelette with fresh ingredients. Can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner, I hear the sandwiches are next level. read more

We spent Father's Day brunch here. Fun atmosphere with friendly staff. Everyone ordered special instructions for their food, and it all came out correct. The food was high quality and very tasty. It can be busy here, so prepare for a wait, but it is worth the time! Will be back again! read more

Came for breakfast. Got eggs, potatoes and toast. The meal was good but honestly nothing special. A 3 star meal. The 4th star is based on the service, which was excellent. Food came quickly coffee refilled without asking. Really exceptional service. read more

We were looking for a new place to try for breakfast and found Louise's on Yelp. When we arrived on. Sunday around 10, there was a wait so we decided to sit at the counter, where we could be seated immediately. That turned out to be a really fun experience, since we enjoyed watching the kitchen at work and the toaster in action. We got the omelette with chorizo and well-cooked potatoes and the banana walnut pancakes. The portions were large. Hubby really liked the omelette and said the potatoes were cooked perfectly. They give you homemade jelly with the toast -- that was delicious. The pancakes were good but I should have read the menu better because I thought the bananas were on top, which I would have preferred. The servers were super friendly and dressed in jerseys for football Sunday. The water was gross but they were redeemed with the Diet Coke, which they refilled well. read more

Great and busy diner that offers many different kinds of food that ranges from lunch to breakfast. My family and I came here one morning (big party of 12) and they were able to accommodate us comfortably. We ordered meals like chicken fried steak, monte Cristo, corned beef hash, traditional breakfast with bacon and eggs, kids happy face pancakes, and eggs Benedict. I ordered the southwest eggs Benedict which was a warm pupusa covered with cooked chorizo, topped with 2 poached eggs, and a tomatillo hollandaise sauce. Very unique and flavorful. Their cup of coffee was delicious and strong! Love how they continue to refill the cup so you never have an empty cup of joe :) read more

I have been going here for a long time. I have never had any bad food or service. Well this past weekend went there for breakfast on our way to another city. We love their jam that's made there, we decided to buy a couple of bottles. I asked our server is this the same as what we just had and she assured us that it was. That was NOT the case. We came home so excited to try it oh boy we were so disappointed it didn't taste anything like what we had. I wish we lived close by so we could take it back not to get our money back but get the same jam the serve. read more

My girlfriend and I had breakfast this morning. At 10:30 and we got right in. The server was so sweet. We spent two hours talking and she never said a word or tried to push us which I thought was so nice. I really enjoyed my eggs Benedict the way I ordered them, which was toast on the side so I could try their strawberry jam which is made in house. It was really good. I enjoyed my breakfast with the hashbrowns eggs Benedict and bacon. My girlfriend enjoyed her breakfast too. We will definitely be back. I'll bring mom but puppy can't go because they don't have a patio. read more

This place is amazing. Been in the area since 1946. From all the actors and actresses pictures on the wall to the Service and the food was incredible. I had the Corned beef and hash the best I've had in a long time. The biscuits and gravy were the best ever. My wife had the breakfast sandwich with turkey bacon she loved it. The country potatoes were made crispy like we asked. There was plenty of leftovers. Definitely be going back whenever we are out in the area. read more

If you're looking for the best food and fast, friendly service in the La Quinta area, Louise's Pantry is your spot. It's a classic, no-fuss diner that delivers exactly what you want on a lazy morning or after a long drive. Let's get one thing out of the way: if you're worried about wait times, head to Broken Yolk down the street -- it's bigger, more commercial, and more about volume. But if you're here for quality food and warm service that actually cares, Louise's wins hands down. I had the corned beef hash, and it was chef's kiss -- flavorful, crispy edges, and not greasy at all. The Reuben sandwich was solid, though the pastrami leaned a little dry. Still tasty, but next time I'll stick with the hash. Coffee is on the lighter side, but they bring over a pile of flavored creamers so you can doctor it up however you want. It's kind of charming in an old-school way. What really stood out was the service -- these folks hustle. Refills, check-ins, and the food came out fast. Felt like they actually wanted us there, which is rare these days. They've also got a solid kids' menu, which makes this a no-brainer for families. Our kids had plenty of options and left full and happy. This is 100% going to be our go-to spot next time we're in Indian Wells. Louise's Pantry isn't flashy -- it's just consistently good, and that's exactly what you want in a local diner. read more

Tried breakfast at Louise's Pantry and overall it was okay, the prices on yelp do not reflect the current prices they have as of today as it was double the amount of most plates. The restaurant has a cozy local diner feel and the service was friendly, but the food didn't fully live up to the hype. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs, and unfortunately the gravy and steak were pretty salty. The portions were decent, but for the price I expected a bit better flavor and balance. Not a bad spot, just not somewhere I'd personally rush back to. read more

Enjoyed an excellent breakfast. We intend to make this our new breakfast spot when visiting the local area.

Came in for breakfast before heading back to the SFV after a weekend in La Quinta. Definitely seems like a locals place - which is always a good sign! There was a wait for indoor seating but patio seating got us a spot right away. Service was prompt, friendly and helpful. Great breakfast selection made the choice difficult for sure (didn't even look at the lunch menu). I chose the country breakfast with over easy eggs and hashbrowns and the hubs went for the breakfast burrito. It was busy so there was a little wait for our orders as to be expected but they kept the coffee and water topped off which was appreciated. Not our meals were HUGE! And delicious. If we were loc we'd definitely make this spot a habit! Definitely recommend! read more

We came with a large group of 8 on a Saturday and were seated quickly in less than 15 minutes. Our food was EPIC and amazing, all handled by capable servers that brought every item perfectly. Each of us loved our food, it was hot and fresh and the ambiance was fun and lively. Great spot! read more

Traditional local restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Servers very friendly. Came for breakfast at 1:00 pm. Will recommend this place.

Should have gotten the servers name but he had glasses lol. Was super nice and quick. I tipped well as he deserved it and the atmosphere was really chill. It was a great place because there was a huge line after we got seated. Definitely worth the trip out here. The pancakes are so huge! even the kids sizes are HUGE. Everything is hit with an expansion ray because the yogurt parfait is served in a giant goblet. I am lucky I didn't order 3 pancackes becuase I would have diabetes after it. The sizes are great but I took mine to go :) Will be back! read more

Absolutely incredible! I can't say enough great things about the outstanding experience we had at Louise's Pantry this morning. The service was prompt, professional, and refreshingly attentive. Our server went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We ordered a Belgian Waffle for the table to split for starters and it was absolutely the best waffle all four of us have ever had. We highly recommend it. All of our main course breakfasts were amazing and prepared exactly as we ordered them. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to start the day. It's rare to find a place that excels in both excellent quality food and exceptional hospitality. Five stars all the way--I highly recommend Louise's Pantry to everyone! read more

Been to Louise's twice, and enjoyed both times. The breakfast tacos were extremely well executed. The little crunchy potatoes in the tacos were an awesome extra touch. They also agreed to switch bacon for avocado, which was kind since I don't eat bacon. The staff is friendly, and the vibes are classic. read more

Ordered food to go. I ordered two breakfast sandwiches with no extra sides and was still charged the full price of the sandwich meals at 17.99. That's 36 dollars for two egg and sausage English muffin sandwiches. I ordered a full meal with two extra sides and only paid 30 dollars. How am I paying 36 dollars for two breakfast sandwiches alone? Okay, maybe I should have asked the price or maybe it would have been nice to be informed I would be paying full price for a meal without getting it. The cherry on top is we get home and start eating only to find a HAIR IN THE FOOD. How disgusting. How am I paying top dollar for this food and there is a hair in it? I won't go back here ever again. Over priced and the quality has gone way down. Nothing special about anything we got here. You can go down the street to goodies. It's a fraction of the price and it's way better. This place is over rated. read more

My boyfriend and I were both first timers at this cute breakfast and brunch spot. We went on a Wednesday morning and it was pretty packed. They had indoor and outdoor seating, the inside was packed and there was a wait. But they greeted us and we chose to sit outside which was no wait at all. Food was absolutely delicious, I'm not a fan of fried eggs but I really liked my sandwich. I asked for crispy bacon and they gave me crispy bacon. The potato's were absolutely delicious, food over all was really good. He really liked his southwestern Benedict he ate it all :) they also had heaters outside that worked very well if you were cold. If you want a good breakfast go here :) read more

We came during Coachella weekend (Saturday around 11am) and expected a wait--and we were right. It took about 30 minutes to be seated and another 30 to get our food, but it was worth it. We ordered Joe's Original Scramble and the Country Breakfast. Both meals were tasty, with generous portions at a good price. Our server was kind, patient, and checked in on us multiple times during the wait. The inside has a cozy, homey feel with plenty of seating. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely be back. read more

Service was very friendly and prompt. We ordered an omelet, Eggs Benedict and side of biscuits and gravy. The hashbrowns were definitely the best part of our breakfast. The omelet was very overdone - almost burnt in places. The gravy had good flavor, but the biscuit was too soft (not flaky). Eggs Benedict - I got the hollandaise sauce on the side. The poached eggs were overdone. The hollandaise had a very odd taste to it - we couldn't figure out what it was, but there was zero lemon flavor. read more

We went there on the morning of Christmas Eve with a family of 7. We were immediately seated. The service was attentive. Decent breakfast options. The food was good and plentiful.

Excellent breakfast and lunch. We went several times while staying in La Quinta, CA on vacation.

Been here many times, always the best food and service! Love the mimosas on Sundays. A must stop when in the desert.

After a bad morning, strikeouts at many busy restaurants ... Louise's was equally a busy as the others, didn't know me or my previous day and treated me so nicely and attentively. I waited outside and they came out and got me and the service was lightning fast with even more delicious food as it was my first time. I will definitely be back and appreciate the staff / business and loved the environment. I imagine and couldn't see them treating any of their customers any less. Great experience read more

I just tried Louise's Pantry for the first time and I'd equate the experience to a meal at a Denny's that's well run. Nothing special. I got the pancake sandwich because I was in the mood for a meal consisting of pancakes, egg, and meat. It was well-made but not memorable. The pancakes are rather large, but not perfect - my gripe is the bottom pancake was definitely burned underneath. Eggs had no flavor but a dash of salt remedied that issue. Service was also just okay. Host was nice but the wait staff made no efforts to make me feel welcome, just seated and served. I would not return and am a little surprised that this restaurant is so popular - I wish I trusted my instincts and tried the place around the corner instead. read more

Let me tell you a little story about our experience at Louise's Pantry. We show up at 11am on Sunday, only have to wait 15 minutes for a table. Enough time for a beer in the parking lot if you're into that kind of thing. Sit down with two great friends after a longggg weekend, but that's a story for another time. Ice water, coffee and a few bloody Mary's ? Why not us ?! Service: TOP SHELF. Food?? : you will not find better. Ambience ? Don't even get me started. I would walk 500 miles just to eat here again. read more
