Simply put I had two ice cold Coors light bottles for three dollars each, shredded beef taco custom made for myself. Everything turned out exactly as expected and the service was perfect. Plenty of parking for RVs easy access to the highway and if you're off throating it is great to stop on your way home and stop and fill your belly. I will definitely return and try more items and update my review after. Btw, watched football at the bar on the big screen and there is tons of seating. Cool place.

Steak fajitas with beans and rice. Rice didn't taste fresh but reheated.

Stopped by on the way back from El Centro in the late afternoon around 4:30pm. We ordered a steak fajitas, two fish tacos, a lengua torta, and asada fries. Wife said the rice tasted reheated the food tasted okay but not great. Saw that they had increased their prices on their menu with most items now over $10. $60 for the four of us and it just didn't feel like a $60 meal. I get that a lot of small businesses like this is struggling due to covid but unless they increase their quality of food to match their prices, they simply aren't going to survive.

Driving through from Glamis. Friendly staff and comfortable setting. First time here and I am impressed. Definitely will repeat in the future!

This is a great Salton sea spot for a quick bite and a cold beer. It has a full atmosphere, great diner food. Service is quick and with a smile. The vintage bar has a nice 1980s naughahyde soft cushion for you to lean into. Great tacos with what seemed like a homemade salsa, super fresh. Somebody got the burger and fries and loved it, fries were big by still crispy. Bartender poured our beers into frozen mugs. No ac, but still a fun spot in 100 degree weather.

Chilled glasses!

Takes awhile to get served after ordering but they only have one cook and one waitress. The food is worth the wait

While researching Julian staples to visit/try, I came across this restaurant and was eager to try…read morebased on the "farm-to-table" aspect and not going to lie, the food looked absolutely delicious and amazing. We were not disappointed at all. Upon arriving, there was a musician playing, and they did seat us off to the right so we could not see but could hear still. There is outdoor and indoor seating, but at the time we came it appeared that the outdoor was reserved for an event. We happily sat inside! Having met Jeremy's parents earlier in the day who also recommended his restaurant, and they were just lovely, we had hoped to possibly meet Jeremy too. I wanted to try everything, but we opt on getting a few dishes to share. Our son ordered the filet mignon and they were able to substitute mashed potatoes for fries. Amazing!! The mac & brisket appetizer appeared to be the highlight and specialty and we just had to order it. Every bite was cheeesy and delicious with the brisket very moist. We couldn't go without ordering the Brussels sprouts and it had a twist with ponzu sauce and pineapple. Definitely a different take and I thoroughly enjoyed the taste. Every bite was foodgasmic and I highly recommend!!! I knew coming here that some Yelpers have experienced wavering in quality, so glad we did not experience that at all. As of the date that we came, we understood that the restaurant had been listed for sale, not sure if Jeremy sold it yet or not. I hope not, we plan on coming back this summer!

Im sorry to report as one who was a local for many years that I no longer can recommend Jeremy's…read more I had to meat loaf which was mediocre and not served piping hot. My daughter's meal was fish and chips and not that great. The prices are high. If you wanna get a steak, it will be $60, thank you. The chairs are hard and it's kind of like a regular restaurant. Feel not the luxurious feel that it was many years ago. Just too pricey for an average restaurant

5/5 Would Let Cameron Ruin My Diet Again Listen up, desert…read morerats and accidental Salton Sea tourists: if you're cruising past that apocalyptic inland ocean and your stomach starts growling louder than your regrets, you NEED to slam on the brakes at the Ski Inn. Why? Two words: Cameron. And her curves. Sweet baby Jesus on a jet ski, this woman floats behind the bar like a mirage you actually get to touch (the drinks, people, touch the drinks). She's serving looks so dangerous I forgot how to blink. Hips that could cause a 20-car pileup on the 86. I ordered a beer and accidentally proposed. She just laughed, poured me another, and said "Honey, slow down, the burgers aren't going anywhere." Ma'am, neither am I. Speaking of the burgers... these world-famous bad boys are so juicy they should come with a towel and a safe word. I'm pretty sure they're 50% beef, 50% black magic, and 100% the reason I now need new pants. One bite and I saw God. He was wearing a Ski Inn t-shirt and nodding approvingly at Cameron's... service skills. Pro tip: sit at the bar so Cameron can lean over to take your order and you can die happy right there between the peanut shells and your own drool. 10/10. The burgers are life-changing. Cameron is a national treasure. My cholesterol is crying but my soul is full. Ski Inn: Come for the greasy perfection, stay because Cameron smiled at you and now you live here.

WOW! What an amazing place. I stopped by here for a quick drink before the sunset at Bombay beach…read more LOVED the concept, I had an amazing chat with the bartender and some of the locals. Although the kitchen closes at 7pm, they are open later and even have karaoke Friday nights which honestly sounded so fun. They do accept cards but I think they prefer cash!! Would definitely recommend stopping by for a meal or drink if you're around this area.
