Okay, being totally honest, this wasn't the absolute best food of our entire Joshua Tree-Palm…read moreSprings trip, but a close 2nd. BUT it was definitely the biggest, most positive surprise when it came to expectations vs. actual quality! We landed in Palm Springs late in the evening and were starving on our way out to Joshua Tree. After a quick Yelp search for something open past 7-8pm, this spot popped up. We pulled into a super quiet parking lot and found this tiny little place. Looking at it from the outside, we honestly figured it would just be a quick, forgettable pitstop. Boy, were we wrong. For starters, the place was relatively full for a Tuesday evening! We ordered the duck confit nachos, the kimchi bulgogi sandwich, and the pony wings. Wow! Granted, our expectations were unfairly low walking in, but this turned out to be probably our second-best meal of the entire week--and we ate out every single day! It absolutely crushed it in terms of exceeding expectations. It also helped that we happened to be there on a Wednesday, so all the wines were half-priced! Unfortunately, since we weren't familiar with the area, we didn't know exactly how much further we had to drive to our accommodations, so we couldn't imbibe more in such a welcoming environment. (Missed opportunity, but safety first!) Oh, and definitely save room for dessert--their pie with ice cream of the day was delicious too! If you are passing through, do not sleep on this place. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in the area!

Proper smash burger with crispy edges and a juicy center. The patties had great flavor and didn't need anything extra. Came with homemade chips which were actually really good and easy to keep picking at. Service was good and everything came out without a long wait. Simple, tasty, and a spot I'd come back to.

I love that it's placed on the landing strip and enjoyed reading the history behind its existence. When you walk in you feel like you're stepping into another time. It's original decor and wait staff is very friendly. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip, ahi tuna starters, Copper Room steak, cheeseburger and Smash Burger. I ordered Tequila Sours and they were delicious! This place was such a fun experience, I would highly recommend!

Avoid The Copper Room: Hostile Service and Pure Confusion If…read moreyou enjoy being lied to and treated like an inconvenience, The Copper Room is the place for you. After being told by the hostess that we could order from the full cocktail menu on the patio, we sat down only to be immediately shut down by our waiter. When I pointed out that the hostess had literally just handed us the menus and confirmed we could use them, the waiter didn't bother to check; he simply gave a dismissive, "I'm sure," and brushed us off with zero interest in helping. It is rare to find a staff so poorly coordinated and a service style so openly hostile. We didn't even stay for water before walking out. Don't let the mid-century aesthetic fool you--the service is stuck in the dark ages, and there are far too many great spots in the high desert to waste your time being treated like garbage here.

Came with pickled onions, a pickled jalapeño half and lemon. They were covered in a most delicious salsa and spicy too. They're piled high on 2 street taco sized tortillas each. So much I easily split them and made 4 tacos. I also had the freshly made chicharrones with the same spicy salsa. I believe it's habanero based. The place has great atmosphere. Diner on one side and dive bar looking on the other side. The diner side is dark and dimly lit, it's really cool looking. And they have different retro radios sitting on each diner table. Service has always been top notch and tonight was no difference and we were served surprisingly quick. From the host to the server and everyone else we saw I can't say enough about the service.

I was told the wait time would be about 15 minutes, but it ended up taking around 45 minutes. After waiting that long, the food was very disappointing. The presentation was messy, the sauce spilled all over the bag, and the burger/fries looked like they were just thrown into the box. The lettuce and ingredients did not look fresh or properly prepared. I understand delays can happen when a restaurant is busy, but this was 11 AM and the place was empty. Very frustrating experience for a simple to-go order. Definitely not worth the wait or the money. One star.

We sat at the bar, and our bartender was very friendly - recommended the cowboy coffee for me, and gave me very generous pours. My partner got an Arnie P, which was nice and refreshing. We were there in the late afternoon, and it was relatively chill, bustling, but not overwhelmingly crowded, so it was still easy to navigate. We also got a snack - two tacos - bean 'n cheese for my partner, mushroom asada for me. These were fresh, so they were yummy, and at the same time, I would have love some diced onions and cilantro thrown in. They came wrapped in foil with washi tape, and we love washi tape. We also got the tatchos (tater tot nachos) with queso and some peppers. This really hit the spot. Lots of cute dogs too.
