SHORT ANSWER: Yes, best time off season or off hours as this place gets slammed for a reason…read more 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.

My husband and I stopped by Louise's Pantry for breakfast during our stay in La Quinta. We both…read moreordered the Country Breakfast, and unfortunately, it was just okay. The eggs needed seasoning, and the country potatoes were dry and lacked flavor, with only a couple of small pieces of onion and red pepper mixed in. My husband had the hash browns instead and felt his breakfast was just as bland. The service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed, but we were seated next to a broom, dustpan, and the bus cart for dirty dishes, which wasn't the best first impression. The restaurant also feels a bit dated. A few simple updates, like replacing the dusty artificial flowers and keeping cleaning supplies out of sight, would make a big difference. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but with so many great breakfast options in the area, we probably wouldn't return.

I decided on the green chilaquiles and my husband got the machaca. We saw someone else with chiles toreados and we had to order some (I don't think they're on the menu). Our breakfast was SO good and the chiles were super spicy, just the way we like them. A must-order for a Mexican breakfast. What really stood out was the service. They were always checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. When we left, there were so many people waiting outside for a table. A good sign. We'll definitely come visit again next time we're in town.

And they did not disappoint! Wow! Seriously, not a pancake fan, but these were great! I ordered a side of sausage patties, another breakfast item I prefer over sausage links, and they were also very tasty. The place was busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes on a Saturday late morning. I'm sure Sundays are PACKED! The service was top notch and friendly. I'm not always in this area for breakfast, but if I am, this just might be my next go to.

The wait staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing--my coffee and water were constantly refilled without even having to ask, which always makes a difference. I ordered the BLTA along with their German pancake. The BLTA was exactly what you want--crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, creamy avocado, all put together on toasted bread, and paired perfectly with seasoned fries. Now the standout: the German pancake. Just a heads up--it takes about 15-20 minutes to come out, but it's 100% worth the wait. It's served hot, puffed up, and finished with powdered sugar and lemon. Light, slightly crisp on the edges, and soft in the middle--really well done. Overall, great food, great service, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to

Our server, Joel, was very hospitable and attentive. We went on a Friday early evening. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Several patrons were at the bar as well as at several tables. My Aunt & I shared a leisurely meal which included three appetizers and a caesar salad. Our server informed us of the option to order a 1/2 portion of the salad. It was a good choice. All the appetizers were very tasty especially the three different sauces that accompanied the hot wings: Jalapeño bbq, Blue Cheese & Avocado Ranch. I highly recommend POM Restaurant and look forward to returning again.
