    Paradise Valley Cafe was okay. We were on our way home from Indian Wells, and we decided to take the windy road too this cafe, and upon coming up to it, it's really super cute. However we got there around 10:50 am, and they stopped serving breakfast. I personally think a cafe like this should serve breakfast all day long. Their menu is not that extensive. They have a nice array of beers to choose from. It's very, very old. It's almost like eighty years old. It's been there since the 1930's. It seats, maybe 15 to 20 people on the inside, and it has outside seating too. If you have a dog. The waitresses are nice. The service is friendly. The food is really good. I just wish they served breakfast all the time.

    Wife and I decide to stop on our way home from Indian Wells, The Paradise valley Cafe is so quaint so much history. The ambience is unbelievable! The service with the two ladies here and the cook impeccable but let's get to the food. Damn for a cafe. Good food. I had a turkey burger with cheese. My wife had the turkey melt and very very happy with the size and The taste on both. Our are servers or Cynthia and Annie? Very very great waitresses and enjoyable to be around!

    After a long day hike to San Jacinto Peak from Idyllwild, I was looking for much needed sustenance and I almost drove by this place again but this time I decided to make the sharp turn into the parking lot. So glad that I did since the food and service was great and the venue is very inviting. Although dining on the patio was enticing, I opted to eat indoors. Started off with a beer while I waited for the tasty Aston Martin burger. Love how each burger comes with 1/2 lb of beef. The grilled onions really complemented the burger well but I realized I didn't love mustard as much as I thought. The mustard has a strong horseradish burn which I like but it was missing something to really make it complete. For me, it was just missing ketchup and after adding it, it completed that familiar flavor of a delicious and juicy burger. It came with fries which were cooked perfectly and salted just right. I stopped by on a Saturday around 430p and it wasnt very busy. I was quickly seated, gave my order rather swiftly and enjoyed the cold beer and some quiet time while I waited for my order. The staff are very attentive and friendly which made the whole dining experience a pleasure. Definitely will make it a point to come back :)

    Fun lil spot up the mountain had a small meal and pilsner bottle (no draft options) after a hike. Homemade chili was okay, fries were good as was cheese garlic bread. Table behind was raving about the BMW burger they split so sounds like the burgers are great.

    food is ok but the service could very easily be better. Ambiance cant be beat as it is situated beautifully amongst the San Jacinto mountain range. Mountainous views of pines throughout rolling foothills is the perfect spot for lunch.

    I love this cafe! Staff is so friendly and the menu is straight to the point. Fast and gracious service, and the food is BEYOND. Such great energy here! Especially if you love a mom and pop cafe with some biker vibes, cutesy!! thanks so much!

    Superior orange juice, mediocre coffee.

    In this review: Ambience, orange juice, coffee, huevos rancheros. At the intersection of highways 74 and 371 is the Paradise Valley Cafe. Been there for decades--13 years under the current owner the waitress said. The vibe is exactly what I want from a roadhouse at the intersection of nowhere and somewhere and worth making a stop. I always order orange juice with savory breakfasts and this was among the best I've had. Fresh and a nice balance between sweet and tart. The coffee...not bad, but unremarkable. Ordered the huevos rancheros on the waitress' recommendation. Spicy enough to wake you up and paired with some tasty refried beans. Though great by itself, I would order it again with some hash brown or perhaps a meat to round things out. Prompt and friendly service. Overall, a great experience. I hope to get back soon for some lunch or perhaps dinner.

    The food was delicious as usual. This place never lets us down. The staff is so fun and so nice. No matter how busy they are they are very prompt. It's the cutest little restaurant. Plenty of outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating.

    Solid Lunch Stop While Charging the Car…read more My wife and I stopped in at the casino to charge our car and grab a quick bite to eat. We chose the Robinwood Grill -- some reviews were mixed, but we decided to give it a try. After being seated, our server greeted us promptly and took our drink order. When he returned, we ordered the club sandwich with fries and mentioned we were splitting it. To our surprise and appreciation, when the food came out, it had already been split and plated separately -- a nice touch! The sandwich overall was good, but I have to knock off a star for the tomato. It was the hard top slice of the tomato, which really shouldn't have made it onto the sandwich. It's something the cook should've caught -- just grab a better slice. While we were eating, we noticed the tables around us getting their food, and everything looked fantastic. One group had the fish tacos (three generous tacos per plate), another had steak and cheese, someone else got fish and chips with a large portion, and one person had a great-looking burger. Overall, we were satisfied with the meal, and if we're in the area again, we'd definitely consider coming back.

Vibe is excellent, they have a lot counter seating, where you look out on the Forest (but also the parking lot below a bit). There's some TVs with spots going and they allowed dogs on the patio. The patio is nicely shaded and has a beautiful breeze, and also all different kinds of groups of people. They were groups of 20 Some things, groups of older folks, families with babies, one guy who's there, just with his dog. Service was so kind considering our group included a slightly fussy baby.

The birria soup was extremely salty and the burger patty was extremely small for the price. We only ended up getting the fries and onion rings pictured because another party decided to leave and were nice enough to offer us their appetizers so they didn't go to waste.
