Great diner in La Quinta. We ventured here while staying at the nearby La Quinta resort because we wanted to take a break from the overpriced hotel food and ended up having a great brunch. The chicken fried steak was excellent and plenty of food. My daughter and girlfriend both loved their meals as well. Service was attentive. Will definitely be back
Still gets a five star from me. This place doesn't miss. Everything is perfection. This time I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked perfectly and actually seasoned. The eggs perfect and hash browns were crispy and plentiful. Their homemade jam is great on the toast. I can't wait to try more from them.
Good little spot! We came shortly after they opened, and this place was packed! Clearly locals know this place is good! Lots of menu items to pick from... However, the service was very slow!! Also.. thought that the menu was a little pricey maybe because it's La Quinta lol. We ordered and split a scramble it was pretty good. :)
It just keeps getting better here at Louise's! Today I'm trying their famous patty melt and great service as always by Fabulous Fabiola! This place is the best in Desert for Breakfast and lunch! You won't be disappointed!
We were looking for a good spot to stop and eat at on our way home from Arizona. The food was great, service was a little slow. Their menu had a good selection of brekky options.
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.
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.
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.
Had heard about it & finally we had the opportunity to go, small quaint place, very busy, but the food was yummy!!! The servers had jerseys on, our waiter was nice, I ordered the Louise pantry scramble w/bacon, cheddar & avocado & w/hash browns & my husband ham & eggs! Food was delicious, asked for a side of salsa, very good! Definitely will return!
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 :)
Jerry was by far the best server I've had in a long time. He was attentive and had a really genuine feel to him. Even though they were super busy, he was calm and collected. The banana pancakes were exactly what I wanted and the walnuts added a nice touch. My wife had the breakfast quesadilla and she loved it. Thank you Jerry for making our experience so enjoyable.
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.
We have been customers here getting breakfast for a long time. Almost every Monday, if I am not working. The staff is very nice and remember you if you are a regular, which is nice. They had a special, Carnitas Breakfast, so I got it, YUM!! The portions here as so big, you are almost never able to finish. Keep up the goodness!! Thanks as always
SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason. LOCATION: Great location, just off Washington in La Quinta, Easy to find parking can get busy depending on when you visit. FACILITY: Looks like a diner, is a diner, and very nice and clean. MENU: Many selections, breakfast options may be overwhelming but you'll definitely find something you want. Lunch offers very good but standard options. FOOD PREP: Always, very well done for that Louise's Pantry is, they don't fake anything here. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent for this style of food. It is a great experience. WAITSTAFF: We've been here many times, and never have we run across anyone not upbeat, polite, and happy to see a customer. OVERALL VALUE: A bit on the expensive side but considering the amount of food they bring you, it is a fair deal. TIP: Unless you are Mr. Creosote (bonus points if you know that one) for $2.00 you can get a split plate and still have a huge portion. We usually go this way respecting the seats we are taking up. 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

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
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

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

Is there bottomless mimosas on Saturdays?
Sorry, not bottomless but if you have to wait outside for a while, the guy comes outside a few times with his Tray
