I had a meeting with my attorney for lunch and he suggested Sloan's. Everyone knew him and we sat down pretty quickly. I looked over the Yelp pics and decided on the Cobb Salad with chicken and my attorney ordered the California Chef Salad. They give you generous portions and the price is very reasonable. If I'm back in the area. I'll try the Franken Mary. They are know for their huge bloody Mary drink read more

Never had a bad meal very good portions too bad they took fried chicken off the menu it was very good

Nice discovery on our way out of Indio weekend trip. I loved the atmosphere of this diner, feel very classic , very spacious inside and they also have seating outside. Service was quick and our waitress was very attentive. However, I was very unhappy with my egg Benedict. It is not egg benedict without runny eggs. What I got was more like soft boiled eggs, obviously wasn't cook it right, they properly just popped them in a microwave or something. I take my egg benedict seriously lol so that's why I gave this place a 3 star. Everyone else in my group seems to like their food. Big portions , decent price. Definitely recommend and will come back again next time we visit Indio again. read more

Sloan's - Baja egg Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indio, California

Get ready to eat and eat a lot.  Our group ordered what the individually thought was a single dish for breakfast.  What we got was at least two big plates per person loaded with delicious, properly cooked food.  Not one of the meals was prepared incorrectly and the food just disappeared.   Get ready to ask for a take home box because you will likely not be able to finish the meal you order on your first visit. STRONGLY RECOMMEND read more

Service is always friendly they have a big Breakfast menu and are more of an American style breakfast and they have amazing French Toast. This is a family oriented restaurant. Sit down is best to experience the environment and the feel of being in the local spots. read more

Nice atmosphere and nice servers. Food was cooked well. Across the room someone got a Bloody Mary looking drink but it had sliders on top , looked yummy and cool. read more

Sloan's is exactly the kind of restaurant you would expect to find in the desert. One that seems like its been around forever, has all your classic breakfast offerings, and is frequented by the locals. The staff is very friendly, although our waitress forgot a lot of elements of our order. It also took a while for the manager to greet us at the front to put us on the wait list. But they were good about quickly getting a table together for our group of 6. The food is your standard diner food and portions are huge. I was the only one at the table who finished my food. I created my own omelet, and they forgot to add the cheese which was disappointing. That's the best part! The Firehouse Scramble Skillet was popular, consisting of ham, bacon, kielbasa sausage, homefries, peppers, onions and tomatoes topped with cheddar scrambled eggs. This can be split between 2. Don't go out of your way to come here but if you're looking for a casual breakfast at a non-chain restaurant, this will do the job. read more

Sloan's - Omelet and hash browns. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Indio, California

Gave Sloan's 2 time's once during the Covid time and figured hard to keep good help and excused the food because of that,so went back for breakfast I ordered the pancakes which must've been sitting there for a while because they were cold and hard and when I asked the server if I could get another order they took the pancakes I had and reheated them I could tell they were the Same ones because they had my fork print on them I heard good things about Sloan's from a friend but hesitating to go back read more

We were hungry and wanted breakfast as we approached Indio from Arizona. We saw it received 4 stars, so off we went. I had the Chile Relleno omelette with pancakes. It was amazing. The portions were huge and the waitress was very kind and efficient. Our cups never went dry. The restaurant does need a facelift, but the food was impressive. read more

Okay food! Just a basic diner, nothing to write home about. They don't have real half and half for coffee and their salsa is not fresh. Too many better places to go. Prices were high for the quality. I got a breakfast burrito and the bacon was really fatty and the egg was not scrambled. It was more like a fried egg with big chunks of hard yoke. I was very surprised they did not use a better salsa. It tasted like Pace Picante sauce. Pico de Gallo was extra!! All in all not great. Won't go back. Oh our server was nice!! read more

I must just be confused by the great reviews of this place. I would have been fine with the meal if I was expecting Dennys or IHOP but then I'd be paying for $7 or $8 entrees and would be fine with that. Bottom line, food was borderline terrible and I paid $85 for my family of 4 to have breakfast. Old dated decor, bathrooms dirty. Definitely a golden corral vibe. Servers were friendly. Ordered the $16 Country Benedict expecting something a little special. Got biscuit and gravy with a side of potatoes. Cold biscuit. Sausage patty definitely microwaved or out of one of those buffet trays. "Poached" egg was definitely microwaved in a little poached egg tray. Gravy cold. No sausage. No flavor. What are you guys thinking with these reviews? Just keeping it real. Won't be back. read more

Not impressed. Really sad how bad food is in the desert! How can they mess up breakfast?

So like I ordered and they were very nice but i didn't really like it but i feel bad so i rate 4 stars

Excellent staff and breakfast well cooked. Had an omelet with a lot of fresh veggies and a blueberry muffin I could not resist

This is our go to for our date night every week. We've been all over the valley in search of a great meal at a reasonable price, and we found it here at Sloans. The staff always greets us, and has a smile on their faces when we arrive! It's my wife's favorite place to go for prime rib. read more

Amazing!! Got the biscuits breakfast and I couldn't stop eating. Service was fast and friendly. Lounge had a cool old school vibe.

This is a guilty pleasure. I mean getting a 3 egg omelette where I could theoretically choose a generous side portion of french toast and pancakes, I'm not sure that's so healthy, BUT IT'S SO GOOD! I did the french toast and a muffin one time and the ft w/potatoes the other and it was the bomb! We returned a few times but I think this is better saved as a guilty pleasure. The shakes looked great! -real old school read more

Maybe it was the day (Wednesday ) early, 2:30ish. Only a very few in the restaurant. Waitstaff? Extremely slow service, no niceties (smile, etc). I couldn't eat my huevo rancheros as the eggs were slimy yolk with fried, dried outer eggs. The red sauce tasted like an outdated bottle of brown, hot sauce. Hash browns were crispy on their surface and soggy on the inside. Corn tortillas were any but homemade. Had been here a few years ago and it was great. Not so any longer. Sad. read more

I had a group of about 10 people come here for lunch. I would describe Sloan's like a worse Denny's. I don't care about the ambiance, but it is very old and musky looking for those who care. Me and one of my friends split a Chicken Fried Steak and a Chicken & Waffles. - The Chicken and Waffles was meh. The chicken was extremely dry and the piece I had was pretty much a big bone with little meat. The chef needs to learn how to balance the heat of the oil better so the chicken is crispy while the inside remains moist. It's not difficult. The waffle itself was just a standard waffle. What would really bring it above and beyond is if they put some chives in the batter. - The Chicken Fried Steak was also disappointing. Denny's definitely has a better Chicken Fried Steak (and it's cheaper there too). The meat was underfried. I don't expect it to remain crispy because gravy is poured on the top, but you can tell that the coating was undercooked by its texture. - The Biscuits and Gravy side was probably the best part of the meal, but not extremely good. The gravy tastes no different than the instant gravy you buy at the supermarket. There is a lot of opportunities to make even supermarket gravy stand out, but this didn't take it. - The service was relatively good. There was one woman that offered amazing service to us, but one of the male servers made eye contact, but ignored me when I tried flagging him down, and there was another female server that just seemed pissed off. read more

One thing for certain, we never miss breakfast, come hell or high water. I guess you could say, the "high water" bit applied in this case. Lucky us! Our 3-day, December stay-cation in beautiful Palm Desert was deluged with liquid sunshine (yeah, rain), a rare phenomenon in these here parts. Our original plans to trek out to the Anza Borrego Desert was now a very bad idea. Flash flood warnings. But Wendy B, undaunted, pointed her nose to the south anyway, toward Indio. We still needed breakfast, and Mr. B wisely knew to stay quiet. I will follow my bookmarks anywhere. It is an interesting drive down Hwy 111, passing through Indian Wells and La Quinta where "upper crust" does not imply a pie topping and the automobiles, architecture, and businesses proclaim we commoners have overstepped our boundaries. But suddenly, I realized the roadside had changed as my eyes fell on a Walmart and a plethora of little taco stands. Farm equipment was lumbering down the highway and the traffic behind them was slowly passing by huge date farms, groves of tall palms then short palms, lined up with total precision, even the healthy fronds growing in perfect symmetry. What a strange yet grand sight! We had arrived at the home of the famous Shields Date Farm and camel races, Indio. Whoo-hoo. Sloan's is a very non-descript, yellow stucco building that lures the locals, their families, and those who bravely adventure away from the freeway chains. The first thing that jumped out at me was the resemblance to the interior of a popular breakfast eatery in Palm Springs, called Elmer's. The menu had all the earmarks of an Elmer's, the interior was a twin with its high open beam ceilings and nostalgic 60's decor. Yep, the waitress affirmed. This used to be an Elmer's. And this is when I knew what I must choose for breakfast. German pancake. A startling thing. Puffy edges as big in circumference as a hubcap, the thin, sunken interior was moist and eggy and sprinkled with a white blanket of powdered sugar. Butter and fresh wedges of lemon lay on top, double daring you to use them instead of syrup. Take the dare. This is extraordinary comfort food and is actually the original recipe from Elmer's. Elmer's has since changed theirs and I recognized the difference. This one was so much better. I ate it all. And when I asked about their sausage, the waitress launched into an orgasmic rave, describing the meaty links as plump, savory, and most definitely her personal favorite. The Hormel bacon was good, but the sausage....! Side order, please. Hallelujah, she was right! Mr. B needed Chicken and Waffles. And if I hadn't been so overwhelmingly in love with my pancake and sausage to hoard it like a junkyard dog, this would definitely be what I would choose. The fried chicken is first marinated, then delicately battered. The flavors and tenderness were childhood flashback worthy. Flawless recipe, but I can only say that about the dark meat since the Mister requested only that. The waffle, not as rave worthy. He was hoping for a Belgium waffle style of crispiness that he did not get. The final test was the coffee. By golly, actually good diner coffee. This coming from a shameless snob. And, they kept it coming. This is a total winner of a breakfast place. With our frequent trips to the Palm Springs area and occasional Phoenix wanderings, this will most definitely be a steadfast favorite. Yes, bookmark it. read more

Absolutely delicious! Excellent waitress/bartender. Chile rellano omelet was amazing! Home fries fresh and crispy. French toast as a option for a side if u don't want toast. Just great. read more

I mean it's a diner so you can't expect a five star treatment. There was some dirty cups involved, black coffee that'll keep u caffeinated and some good old confused waitresses with way too many tables for their liking. Foods great though, but the waiting for it is no joke. This place gets packed especially on Sunday mornings. read more

Going to a restaurant, for me, is a treat, as I love to cook and create fun and tasty meals. So when I go, I like good, wholesome food made with real ingredients. And I like a welcoming atmosphere and friendly service. I also tend to order things I would not make at home. And finally, I love good value for the price I pay. You can imagine, then, that finding a restaurant I rate as "Excellent" is a challenge. And Sloan's meets that high standard. Saturday night I ordered Fish and Chips. I hoped the fish would be flaky yet moist... it was! I looked forward to crispy cooked batter... it crunched perfectly! And the bonus surprise was the wonderful tasty french fries, and the savory coleslaw!! Oh, and the service was great as well as the value for the menu price. Perfect! If you're looking for a reason to be decadent and dig into a fried fish dish... I highly recommend Sloan's! read more

Place is pretty popular. Mild wait time day after Coachella. Got the county fried steak with hashbrowns, eggs and French toast. The home potatoes were better than hashbrowns but the country fried steak itself was pretty good. Could have been crispier but the gravy was so good, I wasn't bothered. Ambiance is nice and sweet and the service was good. But the weird part was that my friend went to the bathroom and they just took her chair away read more

Delicious breakfast with efficient service. Our family enjoyed the variety of items available on the menu and the service was efficient and attentive. This place is definitely now a family favorite. read more

Nice local place. Generous portions a reasonable price. Service was pleasant and fast.

We eat here at least once during our annual trip to Indio to visit family. My husband loves the honey dipped fried chicken, however to our shock and dismay when we went there last night we were told it had been discontinued!!!! Gotta say this is the locals spot for fried chicken and the owner will now loose a lot of guaranteed senior business due to this bonehead move. Slogans has been the go to place for locals for their fried chicken. We won't be back. Good luck with that menu when locals find out your just and overpriced diner now. read more

I've lived in the desert my whole life and I finally tried Sloans. Very friendly service with great food. They have a lot of options and something for everyone really! I'll be back! read more

We were excited by the good reviews but, What a dump! We were seated in a booth that had no cushion in the seat and was arms length from the table, we asked to be moved and we were seated at another booth of equal disrepair so I asked to be seated at a regular table she rolled her eyes and we decided that was enough. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. read more

My wife is a tough critic. I'm very careful about what restaurant I choose because she will complain for days if I'm wrong. So I was sweating it when I chose Sloan's for our Thanksgiving dinner. Their menu looked great, their reviews were good but who knows. We got there and it looked like the relaxed kinds of places we ate at growing up. We felt immediately at home and the dinner was amazing. Perfect for Thanksgiving. Now she's asking if we can go for Xmas. I said, if they're open I'm in! See you then! read more

As we were vacationing in the area, we like to dine in locally owned places. The menu was huge. I had the clam chowder and salad. Some of the best chowder I've had in years. My husband had the chorizo meatloaf! He was thrilled with the favor. The biscuits are super delicious also. read more

Sloan what happened? This use to be a great spot. My favorite place in the desert. Sloan's was always a little slow but food made up for it. Last couple times here progressively got worse and worse. Service became horrible and food was tasteless and cold. Don't expect much from management because there isn't any or at least not visible. That's really unfortunate some lazy individuals would ruin a great place. Would not return again or recommend. read more

Very unstable with consistency of availability to to go orders. Sloans has a very very unfriendly general manager, front desk staff was nice but general manager has very negative attitude when bringing up the issue of concern. I do not recommend if grabbing something to go real quick. Manager seemed very stressed out which may reflect the negative experience and TERRIBLE customer service. BAD BAD BAD read more

It's in disrepair and smelled like a dirty wet rag. The ladies room is gross, soap dispensers dispensed only diluted foam. Office door was open...whew that was an eyeful. We ordered a Turkey Club and Eggs Benedict. The club was fluffed with mostly iceberg lettuce and day old hard bacon, the fries were just as awful. The Benedict was the worst we've ever had! Hollandaise sauce was broken and tasted like a great value box of instant hollandaise. It paired perfectly with the burned hash browns. The wait staff were sloppy and poorly groomed. It's like every one here just gave up! read more
