    Menu 7/2026

    The restaurant is very clean and well organized. The staff are very nice and friendly. We like their fried rice and fish cake. They are freshly made and flavorful. The noodle soup is also good. The meat was tender and the broth was delicious. We will definitely come back to try the rest of the menu :)

    I ordered online and they called to confirm my order. We walked in and the restaurant had an old family feel to it but very clean. Lady greeted us asking if we were dining in, ordering to go, or picking up. We told her we were picking up and I can see an older woman making the meal (that's how you know it's gonna hit). The lady gives us our bag and we were on our way. We couldn't wait and opened it in the car. The food was FRESHHHHH and super hot. The wontons were simple but good but the Pad Thai is what really stole the show. The chicken was cooked to perfection and it had the perfect amount of noodles. Definitely making this a stop anytime I'm in Joshua Tree from now on!

    Food was delicious. We got pad thai, pad see ew, cream cheese ran-goons, and mango sticky rice. Had to take it to go because we got there too close before closing time, but service was still great. Amazing portions (you get your moneys worth). Plenty of leftovers for the next day and they still tasted good. Great comfort meal for our stay in JT, would visit again!

    Located near Joshua tree national park. Pad see Ee pork, very bland. We have to add soy sauce to bring out the flavor. Pineapple fried rice, it's awesome. Price is right and portion is huge.

    Great place, amazing employees, very tasty for people whether they like spicy or mild cuisine. Very relaxing place. Not a crazy amount of beverage options but the food and service 100% made up for it. Will be visiting again.

    This was at best, the most mediocre Thai food I've had. Like many people who come here, I was visiting Joshua Tree and looking for a place to eat dinner. I hadn't had Thai food in a while which is why I picked this place. It took a while for the server to take down our orders for food, even though the restaurant wasn't that busy (but it did get busier after we left). I got the Tom Yum noodle soup because it was cold outside and I wanted something to warn me up. The vegetables (carrots, peas) were without a doubt either frozen vegetables or canned vegetables. I could tell from the texture that they were not fresh. That part kinda ruined the entire dish for me, but I still finished it because I was hungry from a long day of hiking. The noodles and fish balls were alright, and the rest was just nothing special. The curry that my boyfriend ordered also didn't really stand out. The consistency was pretty watered down. And, it also had the same vegetables that was in the noodle soup - either canned or frozen. For that reason, I don't think I'd return to this business if I am in the area again. There are plenty of other restaurants near Joshua Tree that I think would be worth checking out over this one.

Check their socials, as they're pretty good in updating the days/times. We ordered: +a slice of banana bread - this was wet and soggy, so not sure how this is even available for sale +a slice of carrot cake - this was extremely dense and decadent, and good for any carrot cake lover +an oatmeal cookie - large and had a nice crisp/chewy texture +a chive scone - super dried out and had absolutely no flavor +a hibiscus drink - super weird beverage; not sure if it was mixed with something, but it was not enjoyable +and, a milk tea - this milk tea was not prepared well; contained some pearls I was curious about their sandwiches and their pizzas, but the latter is only sold as a whole, and not by the slice. All in all, we felt that the items were misses; not worth waiting it out unless you are spending a few days in the area or are a local. Note that there's usually a line, moving along at a slow and steady pace, and they allow only 1 party in at a time. There is no seating inside, as this is strictly carry-out only. Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

The Inn is super welcoming. Lydia at the front desk was kind and responsive to my changing needs (i kept adding days.) Nearly every person staying here that I met were displaced Angelenos. Morning breakfast (great selection) was a place to connect and grieve. At night, dinner in the restaurant was an escape from the news. I like sitting at the bar. I met a slew of locals who were super kind and welcoming. Cowboy. TJ. Vickie. And a host of others... They made me feel like a regular immediately. Carrie (Kari?) the bartender was top notch - attentive, talkative and enthusiastic. I met her fab parents and even shared goodbye hugs. (That's a good human!) Ashley (the manager) was equally wonderful on Sunday night. I was entertained by visiting artists each night too. Bowdie welcomed me regularly. I stayed in the Bottle Room (my fave) for three nights and Goldenbush for 2. Goldenbush is quieter and more light but the Bottle room has a tub! Much needed after a stressful getaway from LA. Plus, I left my laptop and the cleaning crew - two warm women- made sure I was notified immediately. This is my 4th stay at the Inn. The proximity to the park is perfect. I can't express enough how much this place means to me. Thanks 29 Palms. You are funky, and clean, and beautiful, and dry (my God is it dry here) and filled with nice personal touches (lunch options are deeply appreciated.) May you live long and prosper.

Unfortunately I didn't read the menu correctly because you only get the muffins if you order something like a steak or ribs. So take note! If I knew that i would've ordered them on the side because I did want to try them. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and the brisket sandwich. I felt like the pulled pork sandwich could be hotter (temperature) but the flavor was decent and I enjoyed it. The brisket sandwich was a lot warmer and was also very good, if there ever is a next time I would go with the brisket sandwich again. Had a side of fries and a side of potato salad which I actually didn't try but it was a decent portion. The fries honestly weren't good at all but having them with ranch helps a lot. Lastly we also had their homemade cheesecake, my boyfriend wasn't a fan but I don't think it was that bad. One slice is more than enough for two! Please also keep in mind that they charge a dollar for every side of ranch that you get, we were okay with it because we thought the sides would be larger but they are just a regular tiny size! Service was alright. When picking up I noticed customers would rather sit outside than inside. But when walking into the restaurant to pick up It looked nice and clean.
