burger and fries
Steve B.

The burger meat was a flavorless as was the cheesesteak; visually it looked ok but probably best to go outside and get an in n out burger instead for half the price and twice the flavor. Server did a good job with delivery to table.

Country Fried Steak
Mary M.

Dave had the country fried steak (or was it Chicken fried?). It was delicious and HUGE! So huge, in fact, he had it for 2 meals. I had the veggie scramble with eggs over medium. I cannot tell you how great it was. Perfect in every way. Large portions. Great potatoes. Great veggies. Perfectly cooked eggs. Our server was Lola and she was there with coffee and there with a smile. When we go back, we will be looking for her. She was perfect!! Cute little diner inside the smaller casino. Looking for great food, fair prices and large portions? Stop in.

Nachos witch chicken extra chips and jalapeños

On the way home from Palms Springs sometimes you get a little hungry and want to hit a "PitStop". Located inside the old Casino Morongo, PitStop Diner has been serving customers for years. Today my family and I got to stop and enjoy some of the fried goodness on their menu but thats not all they have. Everything we ordered came put fresh and warm. Everything warm, fresh, and crispy. The perfect crunchy exterior to a warm delicious soft inner fries. They made sure the food was too your liking. The service was great, the waitress made sure to check on you every so often to make sure everything was okay. I hope to the next person who sees this review has a much as a great experience as I did. Thank you PitStop for the warm and scrumptious meal.

We always come to this spot because not only is it delicious it's always clean. Today we had the most lovely server her name was Deborah. She was so sweet and called you baby or hunny which had that hometown feeling. She made sure all of our food was correct and hot. She made sure we had sauces for all the different foods. She was so nice and attentive as well. Hope she stays for a while!! Food was hot and fresh. Got the platter which was a little bit of it all chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, and French fries. Next time I want to try the zucchini table next to us got it and it looked and smelled delicious. Definitely one of the best casino diners I've been too.

Is this one of Americas great Diners???? Put on the brakes because it is not. But it is a good Casino diner! Pit Stop services the small older side of Morongo Casino in Cabazon. The side with bowling bingo ad Poker. The menu is big and the do offer daily specials including a daily $27 Prime Rib dinner. I had the Frisco burger and that was a great patty melt with a expertly executed Parmesan crust on sour dough bread. The pre-fab coated and seasoned fries were very good, hot, crisp and just minutes out of the freezer. Im not complaining but my friends were, they didnt like this style of French fry and thought they tasted fishy. The Ice-cold Onion rings were immediately sent back to the kitchen and fresh hot order arrived in about 15 minutes. Service was good and yes we would eat here again on our next visit to Morongo bingo, because it's the only option.

Perfectly clean catfish,  fried to perfection,  fries to die for and fresh crispy coleslaw

This is easy off and on the 10. If you're hungry, don't pass this up. Easy parking too! You'll pull up to the old Morongo Casino but it's not what you think... You don't have to be a gambler to make this great pit stop! Or go ahead and gamble in this small, clean and friendly casino. The Pit Stop diner is straight ahead as you come in the door. Enjoy sweet, attentive service by "Lola", in her sparkling clean 50s diner, Pick your spot and get ready to enjoy some great food. Im a catfish aficionado, on my way to Texas for the real thing and found it right here! Texas style hush puppies, best crispy fries you've ever had, excellent fresh coleslaw, and... fried catfish! The catfish has a light crispy, crunchy cornmeal breading, fried to perfection, with high quality "clean" tender catfish. "Clean" means it doesn't taste like a bottom dweller, which it is! Hubby loved his "Big Rig" $10 breakfast with eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and pancakes. Even the coffee was above board, fresh and rich coffee flavor. See you soon Lola, on our way back!

Breakfast Sandwich and Hash Browns
Hanna A.

Pit Stop Diner exceeded my expectations! Going into a casino for brunch.. set the bar low. I was pleasantly surprised with my meal. Portions were large, selection was wide enough, and service was all kind. My friends and I weren't distracted by the sound of slot machines nearby. We even enjoyed the throwback tunes playing on the diner speakers.

Driving back from Palm Springs, we were done with late night fast food for dinner. Few choices for a sit down but the Pit Stop Diner was open. Located inside Morongo Casino, it is on the casino floor. It has an extensive menu and there kinda funny to hear the ka-chning of the machines while were eating. The food was tasty, good portion size and filling. Service was friendly and efficient. Our server tried to help us save money by promoting their rewards program. Now we know where to go if we want to enjoy a sit down meal.

Ribs, tater tots, coleslaw

The food was so fresh and good!!! Love it! Service was great! Food was fast and you can tell it was just cooked!

I was wearing the ring that evening and still had it when I went to bed, but it was gone by morning when I began packing. The ring is approximately 3 carats total, including a 2 carat center stone. We searched the room thoroughly before leaving and rechecked all luggage again once we got home, with no success. My husband contacted the hotel and was told the morning staff would be asked. Given the value of this item, that response is not sufficient. A property at this level should have a clear, documented lost-and-found process with accountability, rather than relying on informal follow-up. We paid over $600 for a one-night stay. The level of urgency and communication so far does not reflect the seriousness of the situation. I am requesting that management conduct a formal review, including verification with housekeeping, review of lost-and-found records, and any applicable security procedures, and provide a direct, documented follow-up.

We were in the mood for some Japanese food and this place popped up so we headed on over! The street looked completely abandoned so it was a little weird. We luckily found parking right up front and were greeted by the lady bartender. She was chatting with a few guys at the bar but otherwise the place was empty for a Saturday night, maybe because it was still during the holidays. The music was loud but played some great classic r&b and hip hop songs. We walked to sit at the high tables at the back and Leslie, the bartender, came over to bring us water and menus. We ordered some small stuff, house dumplings and their crunchy roll to share. I guess I didn't read it properly but didn't expect the roll to be soy paper which wasn't a big deal at all! The crunchy tempura bits on the top were yummy and overall a solid roll but could barely finish it. The gyoza were great though! They had some game shows playing on the tvs like ninja warrior and all that. Not a bad spot and probably better for drinks rather than food. Leslie was super sweet and made sure to keep checking in on us! IG: @ammysalamii

Very minimal seating inside, but wide open seating outside. Really brings in the JT feels. We came for breakfast, so the weather was still really nice to sit outside. Imagine it would get hot during the day, especially during the summer. Limited breakfast menu, but I love it because you don't need a lot of items to be delicious. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was fire. Perfect start to the morning. Got some breakfast cocktails to go with it. Really enjoyed their Strawberry Fields. Wasn't sure how the tequila would go with it, but it all meshed together really well. Surprisingly refreshing? But delicious. We also really enjoyed their Maritime Martini. They allow dogs outside, so our little boy lived his best life. Also have a photo booth for purchase, which was fun to use. Would definitely be fun to come here at night or during one of their events. Highly recommend stopping by for a visit.

FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

It's a perfect place for a date or a night out with friends or family. The focal point of the main dining room is the bar, which faces the restaurant's entrance. Meticulously designed with a nostalgic feel, the bar features blonde wood shelves holding hundreds of vinyl records, carefully curated design objects, and a DJ booth neatly tucked into a corner next to the bar. The beer taps are elegantly minimalist, and every detail in the bar--for example, the old-fashioned glass syrup bottles--seems planned to give a nod to history (specifically the late 19th century, when Redlands was founded). The main dining room offers plenty of comfortable seating choices, including a long bar along the center of the room. The patio is spacious and well kept. All of the spaces inside and out have music piped in from the bar. There are two restrooms just off the patio, and these are well-maintained. On busy nights, patrons can enjoy a drink in a standing bar area just off the patio. I love that the Overland provides a choice of setting depending on the kind of night you're planning. A romantic date? Get a reservation to sit inside, and it feels intimate. Just hanging out? The bar is fun as the mixologists make excellent drinks and friendly conversation. Sitting at the bar after 7 PM, you can watch the DJs spin the platters. If you have a larger group or just like to eat alfresco, the patio is perfect. The menu offers a really nice variety of drinks, including the pricier craft cocktails, more classic, moderately priced beverages, nonalcoholic drinks, and all sorts of beer and wine. The food menu is solid, with plenty of appetizers, salads, entrées, and a dessert. The real star is the tacos! These are very moderately priced at seven dollars apiece, and all three varieties are delicious! There is a potato taco, a beef taco, and pork chili Verde taco. I highly recommend these! The green salsa they provide is extremely mild, but they do have a variety of hot sauces on hand. It's worth mentioning that even a humble plate of tacos is served on nice ceramic dishes, along with good flatware and napkins.The espresso martini cheesecake is creamy and delicious, and the portion is really generous. The staff seem to enjoy working at the Overland. The servers work hard to make sure your order is to your liking, and food comes out pretty fast. There's a good sense of teamwork among them. The staff is also accommodating about seating or any special requests. We've been there on a busy Friday night, and on a Sunday evening and late night. The Overland is always at least moderately busy, so reservations are strongly recommended. The city of Redlands should be very proud of this establishment. Go and have fun!
