Plus, I overheard and interaction with the guy working and some Penske customers and he was super nice and went out of his way to make them happy. I tried the Pinata, which was kale, banana, and...mango? I forget the third ingredient. My kids had a couple scoops of their ice cream - pretty good! Their scoops are a decent size, so one scoop for each of my kids was plenty. I really enjoyed my drink - wonderful flavor coming through. It was so good that even my boys liked it. Kale! There weren't any other customers, but it was chilly outside. They also sell snacks and they have a little quarter vending machine, which is a nice touch. Plenty of parking. I'm a fan!

The tallow fried tater tots were so crispy and had that slight beef flavor. You must add their fry seasoning on top. Sad that this location is so far from me. It's a reasonable price for the quality. This cost a little over 8 dollars? Next time I would get the double.

The ribs were tender with a nice smoky flavor and came off the bone clean. The tri tip was just as solid, juicy and well seasoned with that classic barbecue taste. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the baked beans had a good balance of sweet and savory. The lemonade was cold and refreshing and worked well with the meal. The atmosphere is a big part of the experience. Rustic, lively, and full of character. It feels like a true desert spot with history behind it. The place can get busy, but the staff kept things moving and were friendly throughout. This place loves to its hype. Definitely more than just a meal. It's the kind of place you go for the full experience, and I'd come back again.

There aren't many options when dining in Joshua Tree. We chose this restaurant because they had…read moregood reviews and we wanted steak. When we arrived, staff was running all around us and I mean literally avoiding eye contact to not help us. We got one of their attentions and were able to get our names down, they apparently only do pen and paper for their list. During the wait we walked around pioneer town and took some pictures then made our way back just in time. Didn't matter much because as soon as we sat down, all the staff ignored us again. We were able to put in our orders and that was the last time we saw our waitress until the bill came. Other people brought our food, I had over cooked steak with cold mashed potatoes. The table had the strangest Mac and cheese and loaded fries that tasted microwaved. The decor was okay, the lights were very low and it made it hard to see the menu. I would overall skip this restaurant if I had the chance.

Another great meal at SR!…read more Wifey had THE WEDGE SALAD. Crispy pork belly atop artisan lettuce, roasted grape tomatoes, onions, blue cheese crumble, house-made blue cheese ranch. She really liked it. Ate it all! Wifey's friend had THE IGGY'S LEMON BUTTER BOW TIE PASTA. With grilled chicken and asparagus. She loved it. She had plenty of leftovers. Lots of pasta. I had THE DOUBLE CUT CHOP™. Marinated & pan-fried, topped w/ roasted pobiano peppers, jalapeños, onions, served w. asparagus. Also had the horseradish smashed potatos. So good. Service was quick and friendly. The folks behind the grill were spot on too. We really like the interior here. The vintage radios on the diner tables is a nice touch.

There's a lot of little trinkets. It reminded me of going to childhood parties and getting the little favors inside the pinatas or inside the party bags. They have a smaller selection of snacks/desserts/foods but their main attraction is wines. I'm not sure if I would go in here looking for something specific. I think you come in here willing to let the store tell you what it is you need. Just go in there to browse and see what you end up leaving with.
