The food was incredible. The service was excellent. The ambiance was delightful. I plan to go back.

Just a great breakfast!! I had the Thirsty Omelette, packed with tomatoes and bacon!! Good flavor!! I was with a party of 6 and zero complaints. They were PACKED and our server killed it...I am surprised how quickly our drinks and food came. Server, while busy, absolutely killed it!! My one complaint...the hash browns were just okay. read more

Delicious Food, Fabulous Cocktails & Sweet Hospitality! Another stop on our Palm Springs girls' getaway, and another new place to add to our list of favorites! The menu at Thirsty Palms looked absolutely scrumptious, and I'm happy to say the food did not disappoint! Everything was delicious, and the cocktails? Even better! The gentleman who seated us was an absolute sweetheart and such a delight! The service was fast, friendly, and efficient, which we certainly appreciated. My only little critique would be that we felt a bit rushed toward the end of our visit. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we probably would have stayed for another cocktail or two had the atmosphere felt a little more leisurely. Sometimes, especially on a girls' getaway, you just want to linger a little longer and soak it all in! That said, the food, drinks, and hospitality made for a wonderful experience, and we will absolutely be back! After all, good food and fabulous cocktails are always worth a return visit! read more

It's been a while since we were last here for a meal. First off, just like a lot of restaurants in the valley, they close for summer break. Some longer than others so it's really nice for restaurants to be back. We did have a meal just before they closed for their break so to be back for another meal, it was nice. Majority of the places tend to open back up around Labor Day weekend as that's when the crowds do trickle back in. Fast forward to the past weekend, we stopped by for brunch. I personally love having a meal along the patio as it's great for people watching. But let me tell you, it was a bit too hot even along the covered patio with mister. All the seating is covered one way or another. The front patio along the restaurant does have mister coming down while the opposite patio that's along the street does not. It is covered though. Out of all the times we've been here, this was the first time having a meal inside the restaurant. It's a cute quaint place. Fun mid century vibe with a nice bar to one side. Also they do have a cute set up whenever you want to host a brunch or something similar. The staffs are always so sweet and friendly. Everyone is so welcoming which that is amazing for places. Then comes the food. We've mainly only been for brunch which is alway great. Menu does change for lunch and dinner. But for now, we've only had brunch and it's alway delicious. Everything we've had has always been fresh and delicious. And for drinks, they do have a full bar I believe. We tend to stick to either the bubbly specials with the mixed berries and three juice options or Bloody Mary. Both, very good. This visit, we opted for the Bloody Mary. Nothing fancy but delicious and with an added slice of bacon. Food wise, the ricotta orange pancake is delicious. House made ricotta pancakes with blueberries, mandarin oranges, whipped cream, powdered sugar and maple syrup on the side. A full meal on its own but also a good sweet addition to a meal. The chicken sandwich, grilled chicken with romaine lettuce, tomato, mozzarella, avocado, mix onion and fried bell peppers on toasted sour dough. Served with a side which their fries are delicious. That itself is pretty massive and very flavorful and delicious. Lastly a build your own omelette with mushrooms, spinach and cheeses. Served with a side salad. Besides build your own, they also have some creations that I've had and are quite delicious. The food has alway been great each and every time. As we've only mainly been for brunch, everything has always been delicious. Service is amazing and the staffs are alway so friendly. It's one of our go to for brunch. read more

Really cute outdoor seating and wonderful staff. Food looked great, tasted average. But still a very nice spot on Palm Springs.

Food was wonderful and we love Bobbie. She's a great bartender and so sweet. She was so accommodating.

I'm honestly surprised I haven't written a review for The Thirsty Palms before because it's easily one of my favorite spots in Palm Springs. Over time I've had their pizza, lamb chops, and pasta, each one excellent, but today's surf and turf might have been my favorite yet. Everything is cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and served with genuine care. What really makes this place stand out is the service. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and create a relaxed casual environment that still feels special. They know the menu inside and out, which really helps my wife, who is vegan, find great options without feeling limited. The Thirsty Palms is the kind of restaurant you look forward to coming back to. A solid five stars every time. read more

Stopped in to watch a World Series game because they had a tv. Just not local stations so we had to leave. But before we did the charcuterie board happened! Quite a large serving of meats, cheese, olives, toast and nuts. Then there was a beer we had never tasted before, Cali Creamsicle. Who knew! It was refreshing and delicious. Just what you needed on a warm day in Palm Springs. We were ready to order a pizza but will have to next time. And there will be a next time. Let me tell you about the service. We were very particular about what we wanted and she was accommodating. Even brought iced water for our fur baby. Yep we will be back. read more

First time eating here. I ordered the pork classic schnitzel and my wife ordered the pasta bolognese. The pasta was tastier than the schnitzel, because the schnitzel has quite a bit of gristle in it. We both had margaritas, which were quite tasty. The service was great and the restaurant is very cozy. read more

The service was great. The food was just not good. The salad had little to no flavor despite it being arugula. The pizza was a thin cracker with cheese. I would never return for the food. read more

Cute little restaurant located, right in the middle of downtown Palm Springs. The inside can get a little noisy, the outside is great for people watching. They had misters going, so it definitely wasn't too hot outside. My party of four had two different kind of schnitzels, and two different kinds of pizzas. All enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, service was very slow. It took 25 minutes to get our drinks. The food came out rather quickly, but our waitress did not check on us once until we called for the check. It was a very busy Thursday night, with the street fair going on, and it looked like they had only two servers for both inside and outside. Our server was working her tail off, but everyone was trying to get her attention. They definitely need to add more servers for busy Thursday evenings!! read more

Lovely patio, friendly and attentive service (especially the blonde lady with a European accent), delicious food. We ordered both the Shakshuka White and Shakshuka Classic and while both were delicious I personally favored the Shakshuka White because of the flavor combination of spinach, mushrooms, and roasted garlic. Yum! read more

Excellent place to get delicious, fresh food and drinks in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. We were looking for a place with a nice outdoor patio to enjoy the sunshine while getting cocktails and light bites. This was the perfect place for that! I really liked the Paloma Organica. It was a very refreshing cocktail. I also really enjoyed the Caprese and Watermelon salad. It was just what I needed in the 90 degree February heat. The service was also very friendly and attentive. It was just all around a great experience here and I highly recommend! read more

We had the strangest experience here. We were in town for a friends 40th and we had seen great reviews about The Thirsty Palms. We walked up, no reservation. The lady at the door told us inside would probably be loud because there were two bigger tables in there. It was hot outside, so we decided to sit inside anyway. We almost immediately regretted that and wished we'd sat outside. This place is not made for being busy on the inside. It's just too loud. But, cute in there. Our server, who we later learned was the bartender and not a usual server, took our drink orders. A few of us ordered the Hugo spritz, one gal got a beer, and a few other cocktails were ordered. We got our drinks and they were enjoyable. The problem began when we were ordering food. One girl in our group is Celiac and literally can not eat gluten. She ordered the salmon and asked to be sure the potato salad was gluten free. If things are fried or prepared in the same place as gluten objects, she is incredibly ill for weeks afterwards. She has to be super careful. His response was, "I think so." She told him she was celiac and had a true gluten allergy, and she needed him to be sure. Meanwhile, the menu boasts about how they proudly serve gluten free options right on the bottom. He then said, "yeah, I'm pretty sure it is." He genuinely did not seem concerned. She ended up ordering it but felt uncomfortable about whether or not it was really safe for her. Another girl at the end of the table asked him to please double check, as it was really a serious allergy. He said, "Yeah I am going to ask the chef. I wasn't going to just ignore it and make all you girls mad." He had the snarkiest tone when he said it, and it was incredibly, incredibly rude. That right there gave us a bad taste in our mouths. He came back out and said he checked with the chef, and it was indeed gluten free. Food came out and all tasted good. But when a restaurant prides itself on gluten free options, and then makes it so hard to order, it's not a good look. We wouldn't be back. read more

Zero stars! Avoid this place!!!!! Horrible service with exception of Michael. We're here on business, so we called and spoke to the owner to convey that we are only dining for brunch if we can get our order prepared while we're on our way. See we were on a major time crunch, and excited to grab a bite at this restaurant. Owner said no problem - he understands, and that we can call when we are closer and place our order on the phone to save time. We called 3x- no answer. Then he finally answered and said just come and order in person it's not that busy. We arrive. Sit inside. And are ignored fully for about 10 minutes. No water- no greeting. I walk up to the owner and mention we are the ones that called and he said ok someone will be with you soon. I mention we're low on time and he says don't worry. Waited 10 more minutes. Finally we are aknowledged by Michael. Place our order. The owner said our food would be expedited but when we asked our server Michael he said he cannot do that. The 3 big groups that came in right before we did all had orders in. They said our food would take about 30 mins to prepare - mind you we've stressed left and right that we do not have a lot of time as we have a work meeting to attend to. We ended up canceling our food. Michael was genuinely apologetic, and we appreciated him. The owner was in La La land and did not give one F. read more

Coming from Beverly Hills, CA for a spontaneous weekend... While walking the famous strip... I came across this welcoming, yet charming and friendly, with the yummy flavors of simplicity. See you again soon my new found friends! Especially Bobbi read more

I've been wanting to check out this spot for a while--the aesthetics alone drew me in, and they're undeniably charming. We decided to come by for brunch and were greeted promptly upon arrival. We chose to dine inside to enjoy the ambiance, which was inviting and fun, with neon signage and vibrant wall vinyl setting a lively tone. Service overall was great. We were seated quickly, waters and menus came right away, and since it was brunch, we opted for a couple of mimosas. After reading about the restaurant's Swiss culinary background, I was genuinely expecting a more elevated and thoughtfully executed meal. I ordered the Thirsty Breakfast with bacon. Unfortunately, when it arrived, it felt uninspired. The bacon was nicely cooked--crispy and well done--but the rest fell short. The scrambled eggs were standard, and while the hash browns looked crispy on the outside, they were soggy once cut into. They were also heavily seasoned with a spice blend that leaned noticeably spicy. I couldn't quite place the flavors, but I do wish this had been noted on the menu or that the server had offered a choice between seasoned or unseasoned, as it wasn't what I was expecting. One additional moment that caught me off guard was noticing Fox News playing on the TV as we were leaving. This made me pause and reflect on the atmosphere the restaurant is trying to create. Not to turn this into a political discussion, but it felt out of place in a setting that otherwise seemed designed to be an escape--somewhere to relax and disconnect from the constant news cycle. Overall, while the service and ambiance were strong, the food and a few atmosphere choices missed the mark for me. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend this spot moving forward. read more

Grab a coffee, chill to the music, and check out the old Palm Springs photos on the wall -- total good vibes. The food's clean, simple, and delicious. I had the Denver omelet (everyone recommended it) and it was so good -- huge portion and awesome value. Perfect place to start your weekend morning slow and easy. Definitely coming back! read more

Better than average Benedict. Drinks were solid. The service was prompt. The Denver Omelette had fresh ingredients. I'd enjoy some added spices and more attention to the plating but solid brunch. Sidewalk dining with misters keeping us cool. read more

Fresh!!! Stopped in at 10:30 on Monday and was seated and served right away. The owner (I think) was outside and he was super kind. My server was also quick and checked on me without being too much. He was really cool. It's super pretty inside, but I sat outside with the misters to people watch. I ordered the Caprese Avocado Toast with a side of hash browns and WOW!! Everything was super fresh. The toast was not soggy and it comes with a side salad, so anything that falls off the toast can still be easily eaten. I work outside and it's hard to find a meal that gives me more energy than drains me, but this is one of the best mid-day meals I've had. The hash browns were also super flavorful. I would definitely return here next time I'm working in this area. read more

I am not one to leave an unkind review. It's not in my nature but I'm feeling so incredibly unseen and hurt tonight that I have to leave an honest review. I wanted to meet a friend before seeing a show at The Plaza. I arrived with no reservation and was turned away. I offered to sit at the bar, it was just two of us and I was told no. I stood at the front to text my friend as an older couple arrived to ask to be seated. They were asked if they had reservations by a younger man/employee and they said no. The older gentleman who turned me away pulled the younger employee aside and they had a hushed talk. The younger man walked away and said you deal with it. The older gentleman escorted the older couple to the bar seats I had pointed to earlier. I said to him, I offered to sit at the bar and you told me there were no seats. He said yes that's what I said. I moved a little further out to communicate with my friend again via text and watched as he sat another couple outside under the awning on the patio. Again, this was never offered to me even as I stood in the rain, waiting for my friend in clear view. I'm so deeply hurt by this experience and will do my best to not let it interfere with the wonderful evening we have planned. This is a small town. I'm local and I love to support local. This was a very unfortunate experience. I should add...I asked my friend when he arrived to go ask if he could be seated (without a reservation) and he in fact was offered patio seating immediately. This experience feels very discriminatory. read more

We were in town for an event, we came in a group of 7. Such a cute place right off 111 in charming down town Palm Springs where all the action is. The staff was so friendly and the inside is super cute too. The food was good we got breakfast (pancake, sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit). My sister got the salad, the other sister got chicken and french fries. One of us got a burger. The other one of our group got a chicken sandwich and the grilled cheese sandwich. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our waiter was really cute and the owners seemed really nice too. I think they were there. We sat outside and the weather was spectacular. I explained to our waiter and to the owners that we were in town for an event for our Daughter and that she won her championship and they were so kind that they comped her food to celebrate her. This wasn't expected, but it was so appreciated. It's rare people do things like this, we were very grateful and taken off guard. It was a really positive experience. We will definitely come back. read more

We arrived for happy hour, and requested outdoor seating BUT, no happy outdoors? Must sit indoors? Ok whatever. $5/beer, $11/wine and ordered truffle fries, bruschetta and an olive plate. Huge helping of olives was amazing . I liked the sandwich bread bruschetta and fries. Loved the 70's and 80's music. Indoors ambiance was a downer. After my beer #1, I never saw the waiter so, I ate my olives and left to drink elsewhere read more

As we were figuring out how to spend our time waiting for the Thursday market to get up and running, the owner, Urs called us in as we passed by. He was welcoming, not pushy, and I think it speaks volumes to the sincerity and quality of the experience of the establishment. We enjoyed appetizers and drinks on the patio, with Bobbies friendly spirit and perfect amount of attentiveness. The food was delicious with a beautiful presentation. But more than anything else, the personal home feel to it all will have us going back for a full lunch or dinner. We highly recommend The Thirsty Palm read more

Cute place! I had this on my list to try first when I landed. Arrived around 1145 and was super excited to try the chicken schnitzel as I was eyeing it for months. The website is misleading as it shows it's available on the lunch and dinner menu. I was given a breakfast/brunch menu at 1145. I would assume this would be a lunch menu since it's lunch time. I asked my server for a lunch menu and he said there isn't one, you can't get the schnitzel till dinner. I was so disappointed, I actually almost decided to go somewhere else. I decided just to get the blt since I was starving from traveling. It was good, nothing exceptional. Not sure next time I'll be back to try what I really came for. Maybe update the menus online to indicate this, so people can plan better. Service was wonderful. read more
