Moldy hot dog bread.

If you want moldy food this is the place for you. Will not be returning to this location or any Sonic location at all. If they are serving molding, I'm not sure how they manage freshness etc

This Sonics is located in the desert. It was about 113 degrees outside, so sitting in the car like you would normally do at this place was not favorable. Therefore, we opted to sit inside (the first I've ever seen). There were three flat screen televisions, booths, and tables with chairs. It was clean, spacious, and the air conditioning was nice. Service: The service I side was fast and nice. They had a new drink with bubble bursts and I was able to try it before I bought it yo see if I liked it. Also, when our food was ready, they brought it out to our table. Food: The food is good, but not the best.

SONIC - Cheeseburger

I'm a loyal customer to Sonic and when I received this burger with so much mustard. I was disappointed as well I did not eat this .I felt that their service was also very rude I went on to the wrong lane lady that told me was very rude and the whole experience will make me never come to this location again .

Waiting for my turn to order. 6/24/2020.

Thanks Danna for the great drive-thru experience! That Cherry Limeade was delicious! The drive thru was quick and also close to the 10 freeway for easy access. I was driving from La Quinta and needed a quick bite on my drive home to LA.

Tucked away in downtown Indio, Papa Headz might just be the most lowkey burger spot ever. You can…read moreorder from their little side window (look for a flower mural) or pop inside Gabino's Crepes where they've got a register set up but don't let the unassuming setup fool you...this place is serving up some seriously incredible smash burgers. The menu keeps it simple: burgers, fries, shakes. But when you do the basics right, that's all you need. Everything is made fresh to order, but somehow they keep the wait time quick. We grabbed a round of burgers and split some fries, and everything came out fast and hot. Burgers: 10/10. This is what they're known for, and for good reason. Fully customizable (go for the double though, trust me), with gooey cheese, fresh toppings, and that perfect thousand island style spread. One of the best classic burgers I've had in a long time. Fries: Don't sleep on the specialty fries. I went with the Fiesta Fries and HOLY HELL WERE THESE GOOD! Ground beef, shredded cheese, G sauce, sour cream...BOMB. Definitely a crowd favorite. Drinks: Washed it all down with an ice cold lemonade. Perfection. :) The hospitality was just as solid as the food. The staff here are friendly, welcoming, and all around great vibes. This spot is a gem and absolutely deserves the love. I will be back!

I don't typically leave negative reviews because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt,…read morebut I'm TIRED of BAD service. So if you know about this place, you have to place your order outside of a window. In 100+ degree weather it gets HOT!! and FAST!!! Well, we were left outside in direct heat waiting for the cashier to come out and greet us, this was myself, my elderly 75 year-old mother (as seen in the video) as well as my 14-year-old Nephew. You have to push a doorbell type button to gain the staff's attention, totally cool with that, but when you leave people waiting in 100+ degree weather for 5 to 10 minutes with no shade and no misting system, that could become a problem. So the cashier finally comes out this morning and she greets me and she says it'll just be a couple more minutes before I come out to take your order. I said OK, that's fine, but can you please call me to the window? I said because it's extremely hot and I'm sweating and I don't wanna wait in direct sunlight. She said absolutely, that's not a problem. So she goes back to do whatever she goes to do. About four minutes later she proceeds to give an order to another customer that was waiting in the heat as well, then she calls me to the window. I get to the window and someone proceeds to gain her attention inside of the kitchen, so rather than ask me to hold or tell me that she just needed a minute, she proceeded to slam the window in my face and goes to talk to her coworker about who knows what. What she should've done was told her coworker, hey, I'm with a customer right now, let me get back to you as soon as I take his order, but she didn't do that. She proceeded to make her coworker her priority, not the person that was going to place a $100 order for a group of people celebrating Mother's Day. So she gets back to the window and I proceeded to tell her off. I told her exactly how I feel because at this point I think service in this country has gotten bad with this new generation. She looked like she was in her early 20s, I myself for context am not. So she says I'm ready to take your order and I said, you really just slammed the door in my face, didn't you? She was just stunned that I said something, that I actually had a voice. I said no, I'm not gonna place an order with you, you lost an order because you left me out here in 100+ degree weather. I said I should've been the priority, and I was a little upset because I did drop a couple F bombs (which I regret) but only because I was hot and I was sweating and I was frustrated and I was just angry that this new generation has no concept on how to treat paying customers, especially rational customers, with better service. Now they weren't slammed, aside from the other customer that got to receive his order, no one else was waiting for an order, so it's not like she was super busy. That's what really bothers me, I should've been the priority with my family, but yet she chose to leave us in the heat. I told her, if the roles were reversed and you were outside here waiting in this heat and I was taking your order and I did that to you, you would be extremely upset. She was puzzled and didn't say much. I think she was just stunned that I said something, but I wanted it to be known that whoever is the owner of this place needs to have a serious talk with their employees about proper protocol when waiting to place or receive an order in 100° weather with absolutely no shade or water misters. I really think you guys need to do better. My family and I walked away and proceeded to go grab iced coffee at Everbloom Coffee across the street where we were treated like kings and queens. You don't leave an elderly woman waiting in 100° weather, they could die of heat stroke, DO BETTER, Papa Head!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

TKB Bakery & Deli - Chipotle, chicken sandwich

I've been coming to this place for years. It's about time I leave a review…read more Homemade bread... what else could you ask for. My go to is the Buffalo soldier, an absolutely fantastic sandwich. I drive 100+ miles for a clinic down the street for work occasionally and coming here is the highlight of the day. They recently increased the thickness of the bacon in the sandwich... freaking epic! As if this sandwich could get any better. Keep rockin' TKB!

The space is bright and has good vibes throughout. It's hard to walk by the bakery counter first on your way to the deli line, everything looks so amazing! The deli line moves fast, they're quite efficient and friendly at the register. Most ordered sandwich is the Trump Card, but today I opted for the Mexican Marilyn Monroe on jalapeño focaccia (you have your choice between jalapeño focaccia or cranberry focaccia). The sandwich is unique with its freshly made chicken salad topped with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and a chipotle aioli. Pure perfection though it can get a bit messy (get extra napkins). Served with fresh dill pickle slice. I shared my sandwich with my BFF who shared her Trump Card, pretty tasty too! And we had fried pickles (really goo The team are seem happy to be there, smiling over the counter as they make sandwiches. I'd be happy and proud of myself if I was cranking out the best sandwiches around! We didn't leave without stopping by the bakery "Athena's" to pick up some cannolis, Dubai Chocolate Pastry, a peanut Butter Brownie Mousse and a Keylime Mousse. We took them to go (absolutely no stomach real-estate after the sandwiches). All were good but rich peanut butter brownie mousse stood out as our favorite!!! I do wish the bakery sold the jalapeño focaccia, I would have loved to have taken some home! I'll be back, often.

I make it a point to visit Eureka! every year on spring break, and it never disappoints…read more One of the best parts is the outdoor patio. We always try to sit outside because the atmosphere is just right. It does get busy, but with a reservation it is never an issue. Food is consistently great.

Everything feels well made and reliable, which is a big reason we keep coming back. The drinks are also very good and add to the overall experience.

For drinks, I ordered the Tipsy Pig Old Fashioned, made with bacon-infused WhistlePig 10-year rye, bitters, and barrel-aged maple syrup. It was really good and a great match for the food. For our meals, I had the Bacon Jalapeño Jam Burger with spicy charred Fresno chile, bacon-infused jalapeño jam, smoked mozzarella, and whiskey caramelized onions. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. My mom ordered the Eureka! American with American and Swiss cheese, grilled red onion, lettuce, house pickles, tomato, special sauce, and barbecue bacon, and she really enjoyed it as well. Everything was cooked well, full of flavor, and definitely stood out compared to a lot of other places. It was good enough that we made a point to come back again during the same trip. If you're in the area and in the mood for a solid burger, this is a great spot to check out.
