This place is an incredibly welcoming bar/restaurant that I enjoy frequently for a great meal, drink, and wonderful staff. Folks like Seana, Brad, Gabby, Amber and Priscilla make it even more worth the trip. Roland and Jamie, the owners, really know how to run a tight ship and their family makes for a comfortable, and consistently great tasting experience! I recommend the 'Asian Wings' or the 'Captain Adan's and wash it down with one of their wonderful 'Cali Squeeze' beers. I can't recommend a better place especially during the Firebirds hockey season. read more

You must try the Bombero sandwich! It was delicious! I also had the house made chips, they were so good. This is a firehouse themed spot, with great food, amazing service, and cold drinks. We stopped at this place on our way to Indio from Riverside. We wanted to try a new spot to us, and Rocs did not disappoint. Highly recommend stopping if you find yourself out in the low desert. read more

Loved our lunch here - I had the Southwest Chicken Chop Salad (A little on the spicy side just in case you don't like heat!) it was huge and loaded with avocado. I took half home and had it the next day for lunch as well. Hubby had the Rookie Meltdown. We both thoroughly enjoyed. Service was great. read more

We had the best meal here the other day. We ordered the wedge and protein burger (served salad style, no bread) that's how it comes. It's great, we will be back! The cosmos were good too and the bartender was happy to muddle an orange in mine, no problem. Nice bar and restaurant, busy often with the games on too. read more

ROC's Firehouse Grille - Two cosmos (muddled orange) were fabulous! - American Near Me - Palm Desert, California

A hidden gem in the middle of the desert! The restaurant boasts a lot of charm that stays true to its fire department theme. Don't be fooled by the looks of its small menu; it does contain a lot of heat. We ordered the tempura shrimp as an appetizer, then had the pork chop, salmon, and chicken-fried steak for mains. This joint is simply superb! read more

Ontario reign fans took over the bar that's home of the Coachella firebirds and it was packed. The time we got there, only outdoor seating was available. No one helped us find a seat. We just used our arms and a couple of napkins to dust off the chairs. They were dirty. I think the bar wasn't prepared for such a large crowd to arrive. We just had some drinks and they were good. Overall nice place, not the greatest for large crowds. read more

Surprisingly good for a bar/cafe combo. Food was very good, large portions, fresh ingredients. Standard bar service, friendly staff. $$

This place is pretty good for lunch. Portions are pretty decent. I wasn't hungry or overly full after. I had the Volunteer (Turkey breast, Swiss, avocado, bacon, grilled sourdough) it came with seasoned fried. The sandwich tasted fresh and the Swiss was a nice touch to the sandwich. read more

First time at Firehouse Grille and was very happy with the food drink and service. I had the Captain Aidan Chicken Sandwich and an 805 draft and was very delighted. My wife had the Ahi Tar Tar with a Pino Grigio and was happily surprised. I definitely recommend. read more

Giving this spot a 5 star due to great service and chicken wings. Ambiance is of a bar spot with ample seating. The wings, tots, and fries were amazing. Would definitely come here for them again. We ordered the Bombero sandwich and the Riding Tailboard burger and both were pretty good. They had a bit less flavor than would want. The Bombero needed a sauce, and the burger as well. We added some ranch and ketchup to each and they were good. Recommend coming for the wings and fried items. Did not try their other fried foods but would bet they're on point also. read more

Waited over 12 minutes for a waiter / waitress to even acknowledge that we were there. Nothing ... even after an employee walked past us 4 times. You only have one chance to make a first impression. read more

Lots of memorabilia. read more

We were traveling back to Phoenix and decided to stay in Desert Palms. Looking for something different, we walked into ROC Firehouse and seated. We waited 10 minutes with no contact, but saw what we believe to be a waiter, hurriedly walk past us to clean a table. He approached another table twice, but yet we were never recognized as sitting there. We left and took our hard earned money across the patio. We don't beg people to take our money. Sorry you lost approx. $100+. Common courtesy costs $0. read more

Worst sandwich ever! The special was the California BLT, the chicken was pale and tough, the bacon was overcooked and tough with romaine lettuce and toasted sourdough made impossible to bite through or chew. Waitresses didn't seem to care. A waisted $22.00 and I'm still hungry! read more

It's my second time here the first time I came with friends and I don't remember exactly what I ordered. I just remembered that we all shared and loved it! so came back with my husband & I ordered the Roc's wedge salad which was delicious!!! he ordered the Captain Adans' chicken sandwich which he had no hesitation to finish we s also shared the Asian wings, which were delicious! We were served really quickly which was great before we went to the Firebirds game. I also had TVs all over which made it a very casual and comfortable environment.. read more

We came in with a huge group from the opposing hockey team and it's been a great experience. Amber, our server, was by herself when we first arrived. She was AMAZING handling our big group. The chef prepared great dishes and the rest of the crew was friendly, accommodating, and timely. Thank you ROC's Firehouse! Go Reign Go! read more

Stopped in on Monday, 10/14/24. This place was super cool. All the fire department stuff was so cool to check out. The waitress was super friendly as well. I tried the calamari strips and they were delicious! I ordered the fish tacos for my main meal, those were great as well. I would definitely recommend this place and I will for sure be back! read more

The food, the service and the treatment we received was five plus stars. We drove by this place and wanted to try it. Then we saw them on being Fido with a top rating of 5 bones!!! After going here today and extremely pleasant, helpful, caring and just overall excellent employees. We sat on the patio all by ourselves and they even suggested we let the dogs off the leash as it was enclosed by a gate. They made us laugh, made us feel soooo welcome and had such great advice about the area. We will be going back here again before we go home!! Wish I took pics of the tasty food and drinks. read more

Nice little place with a happy vibe. My husband loved his roast beef sandwich with house made chips. My tortilla soup was good. My favorite part of our time at Roc's was being waited on by Brad. If you want to have someone who is kind, cheerful, patient, and attentive waiting on you, sit in his section! Thank you, Brad, we'll definitely dine here again. read more

Salmon was overcooked and dry. The roast beef sandwiches are ok but nothing special. There was an overwhelming greasy smell, which really pervaded the entire time we were there. Glad to get in the fresh air. I am not convinced about the overall cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

Walked in at 4:45pm on a Sunday evening. No AC and it's 107° outside but there was a single oscillating fan blowing hot air around. We saw the great 4 star reviews and was excited to try it out but there wasn't one person in the restaurant! No hostess, no waiters, no bartender, NO patrons!!!! Not a single soul. Yikes!!! No one to say goodbye to as we promptly left. 4 stars????????? How????? read more

Short review because well, we walked out! Walked in around 6 last night. There were a couple of folks at the bar and maybe 3 tables sat. We waited at the front for 5 minutes and never saw 1 single wait staff. We decided to walk out. Not impressed. read more

They could do SO much better. My burger was okay ... not even on the good side of things just adequate. Service was spectacular ! The waitress that helped me get my burger order right was very accommodating and very nice.... I think their buns could be much better .. they tasted stale. And the burger itself needed to be seasoned properly. Overall the food was very mediocre. Great location for sitting outdoors tho .. read more

The chopped salad was large and refreshing for a hot summer night. Fresh ingredients that filled the void in my tummy. The meatloaf was to simply the best just like momma used to make.

Not in this area often, but yelped some restaurants and found Roc's. They have great yelp reviews so I figured... let's go. Couldn't find the place for about 5 mins, No signage in the parking lot. We walked in on a Thursday night football night and there were about 10 people in the place. It was a bit stark and I instantly wondered if I made a bad decision. We were promptly greeted by Brad and seated in the middle of the restaurant with tv views from every angle. I began to think... ok this isn't so bad. Brad was GREAT! He was very personable and nice. We weren't very hungry so we decided to get Asian wings and tots. This is where the night lost it.... we got 6 TINY dry meatless wings for $19 freaking dollars! I WAS SHOCKED! They were described as wings with Asian sauce, fried jalapeños, pickled carrots etc. They were laying in a pool of soy with some limp carrots and no jalapeños. THEY WERE just NASTY! The tots came with a side of garlic aioli but were just plain old regular tots that you can make for about $.50. These were $9 bucks. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I felt bad for Brad cause I felt like he could tell we weren't totally happy. I wish I was a person that would have been like, these are horrible I'm not paying, but wings, tots and 2 beers cost $50 no thank you! They really need to check the appetizers cause they were really bad. The service gets a 5 star but the food was a ZERO! read more
