Second visit, but now under a new name (used to be, "Zobos and Meester"). Stopped in for lunch. This experience was better than the first time around. SERVICE: This was an improvement. The gentleman running the register and taking orders was very friendly and interactive. You place your order at the counter, and they call your number to pick up; however, I raised my hand when they called me, and the young lady brought it out to my table. She even went back into the kitchen to gather additional condiments. Once again, the tabletops were clean, and they have a large dining area with tables to accommodate larger groups. FOOD: I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger Combo, which came with fries or rings, and a soda. The price was reasonable, and the burger itself was very tasty, the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh, and the bun was better than last time (didn't get soggy). Fries came out hot, but not too crisp. Unfortunately, no bleu cheese dressing was available to dip my fries in. Overall, the service was good, and the food was decent, especially the burger. I'm sure I'll be trying this place again as there are plenty of other menu items that look worth a try. read more

Meester Zebra - Bacon Cheeseburger Combo...burger was great, the fries were okay. - American Near Me - Cathedral City, California

Great burgers and service! I had the Hamburger and Fries. The burger was cooked well, lots of flavor. The fries were cooked perfectly; crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The service was fast and super friendly. The ambiance is nice and clean. Loved the interesting decor (can't miss the big Zebra out front). I'll definitely be back to try more things. I see they have BBQ as well. Can't wait. read more

The service here was beyond great. The guy who took our order made great conversation and made sure to explain the menu.

Sorry, but the zebra looks like a bull. My buddy had the Cubano. He said the pulled pork was really good. I had the turkey bacon club with tomato bisque soup. Soup was good. Bread was toasted. It should come with avocado. Table was not wiped down when we sat down. Would recommend it for lunch. Bathroom was clean. read more

Just as my husband started doubting that we were near the restaurant because we driving past an industrial park, we saw a huge painted zebra sculpture, indicating that we had arrived at Meester Zebra. It was Friday morning, and we were the only patrons in the restaurant. Our server was kind and friendly, and our food arrived quickly. And oh my gosh - I could see why this place gets great reviews! My breakfast sandwich and the hashbrowns that accompanied it were fantastic. My husband also really enjoyed his breakfast plate. I'm really glad we went out of our way to go here, and look forward to returning again someday. read more

Meester Zebra - Breakfast sandwich and breakfast plate - American Near Me - Cathedral City, California

This was a fun find. While more for the folks that work in that area, I found this place worth going out of the way for. Nice people work there. I mean, helpful, friendly, and made it feel like I was going to eat at my friend's place. This is so nice, since I like supporting my friend. Seating and so has a dinner vibe, no frills, but no boring either. Clean, open, and comfortable. And the food. I had a breakfast sandwich, hold the bacon. It was delicious. I really appreciate that it was a straight forward, fresh ingredients and fresh made, sandwich. They didn't try to make it anything other than good food. Parking is easy, although I felt like I was parking in the back. There is some street parking too. Give them a seriously nice tip, they deserve it there. read more

I came in here on a Thursday due to the high Yelp Ratings and the reviews were right. Brought my 3 year old and 9 year old, they also enjoyed it as it was very spacious and had vending machines for the kids along with refrigerated drinks that they loved. I ordered a roast beef sandwich that had chilis and a cilantro sauce.. the sandwich was amazing. The owner was very nice to my kids, service was great, and he mentioned that they do BBQ on Saturdays so we ended up ordering the BBQ for Saturday (ordered it at 8:00am Saturday). They do sell out so you need to call either Friday or right when they open Saturday. The BBQ was phenominal, the Brisket was tender, the ribs had a great rub and were falling off the bone, the chicken was cooked just right, and the sides were all yum as well as the 2 BBQ sauces offered. My favorite side was the collared greens. Highly recommend! read more

*Meester Zebra Earned Their Stripes* My buddy in LA came here to visit me and hangout for a few days. Prior to coming out, he told me he wanted to try this place and their BBQ, based on all the 5-star Yelp & Google reviews. Funny thing is -- I already had it on my list to grub, while planning our meals, weeks in advance. It's been on my to-do list too. Wifey's not too keen on BBQ food like her hubby. On a hot summer Wednesday, with MLB playing all morning, day & night, my buddy & I decided to stay at my home for a baseball marathon, instead of hanging out at the Aqua Caliente 360 Sports Bar. Ordering was seamless through GrubHub, with my free account via Amazon Prime. We both ordered the exact same thing = 3 Meat BBQ sandwich: brisket, pulled pork, chicken, jalapeños. coleslaw, chipotle. bbq sauce on a brioche bun. With French fries (welldone without salt please) and coleslaw. Everything was outstanding & sensational. I usually don't like spicy foods (and jalapeños) but everything paired perfectly and we were both extremely happy. The smoked meats were cooked just right. The sauces were great and brioche bun was nice and fresh. The fries & slaw were great too. We're very picky and take our BBQ very seriously -- coming from 2 dudes who used to trek out to the OG Bludso's in Compton -- before it went mainstream. This unique sando was hearty & savory. I don't eat food like this for lunch when the weather is so hot. Portions & servings are very generous. Loads of French fries too. Now we see & understand why Guy Fieri once landed at Meester Zebra for "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives." My buddy devoured his in no time and was still too full for dinner. I ate half for lunch then the other half later on for dinner, while we watched the Dodger's game. Service & delivery from GrubHub was extremely fast & friendly -- especially at lunch time on a weekday. Everything was packaged well and arrived piping hot. We were so hungry & excited, I forgot to take some pics. It was so good, my buddy & I intend to do it again when he's back out in October to watch the World Series together -- hopefully it's the Dodgers & Red Sox. {{{Big~High-Five}}} Walk-off Grandslam read more

From the outside, this place doesn't look like much. The food was great. We had a large party and everyone ordered something different. From salads to burgers to sandwiches. Steak salad was a typical lettuce salad. The steak was great though and I could have just eaten that and left the lettuce alone. Someone had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was very large! Another one in our party had the 3 meat sandwich, as advertised on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. They said it was tasty. Everyone left full and satisfied. Would go back again to try more next time in town. Parking is sparse, almost couldn't find spots and almost had to go elsewhere. The owner greeted us and served us. He was very nice. Kid friendly, has high chairs. read more

My kids were starving and HANGRY after the Discovery Museum, and we headed here. It looks unassuming from the outside, but the guy who assisted us was so incredibly kind. Our kids were frankly rude, but the guy was so kind and gave each of our kids a quarter for the ball/balloon machines. He also offered me free coffee as it was the last of the pot (we were there at 2 pm). I haven't yet tried the food, but the menu was large and had breakfast and lunch. They also have a great kids menu! I recommend this spot. Great service! read more

Love this little place! Very clean the gentleman that waits on you is very friendly you order pay and then get served. We ordered the Montecristo and the Jules rancheros with both red and green sauce. Very tasty.! Can't wait to go back and try lunch. The nice thing is at breakfast and lunch is available in the morning. read more

Found this restaurant through yelp and it did not disappoint! The owner is friendly and very knowledgeable about Palm Springs. You order at the counter and find a seat. The menu has something for everyone and they serve breakfast all day. I wanted to try the tacos, but was swayed by the tuna melt. I'm very picky about this sandwich and it did not disappoint! Ambience is extremely casual....like a diner:) read more

I lurked on Yelp for months, trying to make up my mind about Meester Zebra. Finally made a stop there for lunch. Definitely glad I did. Doesn't look like much from the outside (like most of the best places). Plenty of parking in lot or on street. This place is the lunch spot for folks who work in the area. When we saw two Cathedral City police officers come in, we knew we had picked a winner. (First responders always know the best places to eat) We ordered the BLT, the Pesto Chicken and the Cubano. The guy behind the counter was great. Very helpful and friendly. The sandwiches came out hot and tasty. The onion rings were next level, not too much breading and super good. It's big food, we ended up taking two half sandwiches home. Looking forward to returning, they have BBQ on Saturday. read more

NEW Bistec Ranchero. Seasoned Flap Meat, tri-color Bell Peppers, smothered in Salsa Ranchera, served with refried beans, cotija cheese, and corn tortillas. Perfectly seasoned and tender meat, smothered in THE most delicious Ranchera sauce swimming with red, green, and orange sauteed bell peppers. House-made refried beans liberally sprinkled with cotija cheese, and corn tortillas on the side. When the dish arrived, I figured I could only eat half of the generously heaping portion--but it was so darn flavorful I ate the entire plate, beans and all. Mom would be proud. And I didn't even eat the tortillas, wanting nothing in the way of that flavorful goodness. Can't wait to order this one again. read more

We were on our way to Sam's Club and decided to try someplace new for breakfast. Meester Zebra came up on Yelp with 5 stars and said they have breakfast & lunch so we took a chance. We're glad we stopped. The place is in an industrial park area. Once inside, you'll notice it's very clean and we were warmly greeted by the nice guy at the register (wish I got his name, sorry). I ordered the cinnamon swirl French toast which was delicious! Crispy edges, flavorful, and not at all overly egg-washed like some places. My Hubby ordered the chilaquiles with poached eggs, which he loved. The eggs were perfectly poached and he really liked the tomatillo sauce. Portions are definitely generous and worth the price. We were asked a few times if everything was ok and if we needed anything else, so 5 stars for service! The very nice guy behind the counter let us know that they do BBQ on Saturdays, so we'll have to go back for lunch and also to try their BBQ! To find Meester Zebra, just look for the big zebra statue out front. read more

The food is always very good and fresh at Meester Zebra especially their BBQ Saturdays

Yelp brought me here! I was looking for somewhere to grab lunch after spending the morning at the Children's Museum, and this was close enough. Initially I was unsure if I was headed to the right place as it's located in more of an industrial place, but it's correct! The man who helped us and took our order was so incredibly kind and patient. After ordering, he gave my daughter 50¢ to use on the toy machines. The pesto chicken sandwich was delicious! My daughter and I split it-- big nice juicy chicken filet with plenty of sauce and cheese. I didn't love the potato salad, but it was a classic recipe so others probably love it. Hope the next time we're in the area we can be there on a BBQ day! Looks like they really have some great options. read more

A must go anytime we're in the area. If you go on a Saturday, it's BBQ Saturdays and all the meats are so good. There are homemade sauces to accompany the delicious meats.

Wonderful gem. I would say "hidden gem" but it is actually in plain view with a zebra statue out front. Anyway, the food is splendid and the service warm and welcoming. They have barbecue on Saturday that we have not yet tried, plan to return soon. Great place. read more

This great little restaurant is tucked away and could easily miss it but for the zebra painted cow out front. We had a group for lunch, celebrating a birthday and had great service. Some of us had ribs which were outstanding, but get the half rack, its more than enough and as for side, mac n cheese was great and so was the cole slaw. Others had the lasagna and loved it, as did those who had the pulled pork sandwiches. Overall, a great meal, service and location, def recommend if you want some real home cooked food! read more

Hidden gem, food is great. One of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had! Food came out hot and fast and the service was on point.

Monte Cristo was very good moist and a side of strawberry jam. The Mac and cheese was interesting not sure what kind of cheese is used but my son enjoyed it. My husband's sandwich was a little dry he got one on a pretzel but said it needed some more chipotle mayo but they had good service definitely tasted better that the outside looked. read more

Great food, hidden gem of a sandwich/breakfast shop. Breakfast burrito was great! Need to try their BBQ on Saturdays

A very solid local stop for breakfast or lunch. The food is fresh, tasty and comes out quickly. The restaurant itself is fairly basic, but immaculately clean and tidy. Not a crumb or chair out of place! We haven't been for their weekend BBQ, but will definitely do so in the future. This is an "order at the register and sit where you'd like"-type place. Lots of take away business too. Traditional American, along with some solid Mexican choices. read more
