As a customer you're automatically getting an upcharge just to give them your business. There was maybe about 2-3 other parties in the whole place, with pizza taking about 25 min to be ready. We paid $12 for bagged salad, with wilting/browning lettuce, croutons, and that Kraft like parmesan cheese that comes in the green bottle. Plus the 3% fee to eat there. Got the Alfredo pizza. The dough is thin and SUPER dry. Hard as rock, takes more effort to bite through the crust than the croutons. I don't know if they were running low on ingredients or what, but hardly a sprinkle of cheese and we're still looking for the sauce, which would've been nice to maybe soften a dough a tiny bit. I wouldn't recommend it for the prices they're charging. There's not a ton of options out here, but I wouldn't recommend this one unless you have a good dentist on call for a possible chipped tooth. Haha.

Also ordered side of the garlic dough balls and cheese cake slice. The pizza has a good amount of toppings. I wish I took a picture but by the time I remembered, it was all gone lol.

Overall, I'd say it's a good choice for a pizza made from scratch. My only real negative was the customer service. The lady at the counter seemed uninterested and somewhat oblivious to basic customer service. I called my order in ahead of time, paid when I arrived, and was told it would be another 10 minutes. I came back just nine minutes later, and she had already forgotten my name and that I had paid. Place was empty as well, not busy. No offer of parmesan cheese or hot chili flakes. Finally, the caesar salad we ordered was large and came with a tiny, I mean super tiny plastic thimble of dressing barely enough to cover a leaf of lettuce. The pizza was definitely worth trying, but a little more attention to the customer experience would make the visit much better... and maybe more salad dressing?

I was definitely not expecting to find Indian food in Joshua Tree, but Sam's surprised me!…read more The restaurant itself is spacious, with great, lively music playing in the background. We started with the vegetable samosas, which had a nice crisp and were delicious! The sauces that came with them weren't my favorite on their own, but mixing them together made for a much better combination. The Aloo Paratha was packed with amazing flavor. It reminded me of a quesadilla, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. The lamb biryani, though, was really good- the meat was tender and fell apart easily, and the spice level was perfect! I was a little disappointed by the mango lassi. I was expecting something sweeter and refreshing, but it leaned more toward the sour/salty side. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially when recommending dishes for us to try! Maybe I shouldn't haven't been surprised... Sam's got Indian food covered, even out in the desert

It was distressing to pick up food for our trip to Joshua tree national park. With no other nearby food available we had to go hungry.

We were immediately greeted by very friendly staff who immediately gave us a menu. We ordered the nachos and a chicken sandwich and while waiting played some pool. The bar was not very populated at the time, but it was difficult playing pool because it was very close to the tables that did have people and you did not have enough room to play and go for all the shots you wanted to. Thankfully there was pool to keep us distracted because the food did take around 35 minutes to be delivered, even though the place was not busy. The food itself hit the spot and was exactly what we were looking for. The nachos had great toppings and the chicken sandwich was very crispy. There was also a band playing that night who sounded good. All in all we took it as a neighborhood friendly spot with nice staff and decent food. Next time we are in the area we will make sure to stop by.

Overhyped and not worth it…read more The place looks really nice inside, but unfortunately, that's about the only positive thing I can say. I ordered the blueberry hibiscus, and it was terrible there was barely any flavor at all. It was so bad that I ended up throwing it away, which felt like a complete waste of money. My friend ordered the matcha latte, and that was just as disappointing. The matcha was extremely watered down and had very little flavor. To make things worse, the cashier was rude and had a standoffish attitude, which made the experience even less enjoyable. The AC also wasn't working, so it was uncomfortable inside. Overall, this place is way overhyped. The interior is cute, but the drinks and customer service were a huge letdown. Definitely not worth the money or the hype.
