The servers might not know your name, but I've never had a server that wasn't helpful and nice. Parking can be busy, but never difficult. So now the food. I've eaten here a lot over the years and I've never had a bad meal. The garlic fries are awesome and everything from burgers to salads and tacos, delicious. My sole complaint, some burgers are so tall it's impossible to eat them like a regular burger. So, this spot is a solid 5/5. Not crazy expensive, nice staff, good food, easy in and out. Give it a try.

For years, this was one of the top restaurants, in my rotation…read more I find myself going less and less. The issue isn't the food. One of the things I appreciate about Tony's is consistency. The food is exactly the same each time I go. Service has significantly dropped in the past two years. I watch tables get ignored, including my own, while other tables have waiters stop and chat. Requests are "forgotten" or ignored. Either they bring the bill while you're taking your 3rd bite or you are waiting for 10 minutes trying to flag someone down. Everything about service is inconsistent. Tony's isn't cheap. I would expect less service from a less expensive restaurant. I am saddened that the exceptional service I used to get is not happening now. Good food. Great ice! Music isn't too loud. Great selection of options on the menu.

SHORT ANSWER: YES a great visit. My first visit and it did not disappoint, great experience for a…read moresimple meal. LOCATION: Retail center with lots of parking, very easy to find. FACILITY: Very clean and well decorated, lots of space and outdoor seating. MENU: Pretty extensive, maybe not super healthy but as long as I do not stuff myself, I am good with it every so often. FOOD PREP: Nicely done for a burger place. FOOD QUALITY: Very good, not just any burger, it had real taste and was enjoyable but no way could I eat a non-mini burger... LIBATIONS: Looks like fun but did not want to drink and drive. WAITSTAFF: Very kind, helpful, and fun. OVERALL VALUE: Pretty good, not super expensive. Look at the menu before your visit. TIP: My visit was on an off peak time so lots of tables but it sounded like their lunch crowd was huge... Expect there to be a wait if you drop in at a peak time.

I was really disappointed with our experience at Grill-A-Burger today. The service was incredibly…read moredisorganized and inattentive from start to finish. My iced tea was completely forgotten, and no one ever checked back to see if we needed drink refills or how we were enjoying our meals. They also forgot to bring out the burger patty we ordered for my dog. We had multiple different servers coming to our table, yet somehow no one seemed to be paying attention to what we actually needed. Instead, we were repeatedly asked if we wanted boxes, as though they were more concerned with getting us out the door than making sure we had a pleasant dining experience. Not once did anyone ask how our food was or whether everything was okay. For a restaurant where you expect good food and friendly service, this was a huge letdown. Very disappointing, especially when basic customer service shouldn't be this difficult.

This is the second time I've been here and just like the first visit, we've enjoyed our meal…read more Beginning of the week which was pretty mellow. It could also be the after lunch rush and an hour before happy hour which we didn't know till we got seated. It's located in a massive strip mall so parking is alway going to be pretty easy finding a spot. That's what I notice in the desert, you can alway find parking and it tends to be free. Anyways, they have a nice little patio area right out front. Give or take about 6 tables or so with both 2 seaters and 4 seaters tables. Inside is the main attraction. Bar seating available as well as the main dining area. Both times we've been, it's alway been outside seating as it's nice to people watch. You check in with the hostess but as it was mellow when we arrived, it was basically wherever you would like. Patio which we opted for did have 2 tables being utilize. Water was brought out as well as the menu. It's a mixture of everything so whatever you have a craving for. With starters, salads, sandwiches and burgers, pastas and pizzas. From the experience last time, I did notice that their pizza was a big thing as a lot of them were coming out. Service is alway great and everyone is very friendly. Good customer services does go a very long way and makes the experience more enjoyable. Started off with a pint of cider which they had a few selections. Went with what the waitress recommended which was quite tasty. Also a Mexican lagers. Food, the chicken club sandwich and the smash burger. Not your classic club sandwich with traditional toast but more of a burger style. I believe it's something of a pretzel style bun with mixed greens, onions, tomatoes, of course bacons and avocado and a nice juicy piece of grilled chicken breast. That was served with nice crispy fries which was delicious. As for the smash burger style, traditionally smashed patties with all the trimmings. That as well came with fries. Simple dish but quite tasty. Service was great as all the staffs were amazing. Food, great as well. Simple but yet so flavorful and delicious. It did start to pick up when we were getting ready to leave as HH was approaching. The last time we came was during dinner which they were quite busy. Just like every restaurant, you have your rush hour and the more mellow hours. Food was great and worth trying out. Next time, need to check out HH.

I asked for my burger medium rare and it was perfectly cooked and juicy. I loved that they had pickles too. I'm not sure what it is, but I've had a hard time finding pickles, at certain restaurants, in the Coachella Valley, even when buying a burger or sliders. Weird!! The avocado fries were amazing. Perfectly crispy, not greasy and the sauces were amazing. The only downside here is that your burger doesn't come with a side or fries. You have to buy fries separately, which is a bummer, and they range from $6-$7 for a half order. I also asked about any happy hour and they don't offer that at this time. Anthony was attentive and provided great service and I'd come back to try another burger.

Dinner for two at Heydey in downtown Palm Springs…read more It was our first time there and we had an excellent experience. Heydey is a casual (shorts and t-shirts seemed too be the preferred attire) retro diner mixed with a cocktail lounge featuring dark red booths, stained-glass lampshades, and an outdoor patio. The restaurant is small with limited seating and does not do reservations but we had no trouble being seated immediately on a Wednesday evening at around 6. Our super friendly and charming server was Cesar who greeted us with the biggest smile which he maintained throughout our visit - it makes a dining out experience all-the-more enjoyable to have someone like Cesar taking care of you. We both ordered the "Martini and Burger" special which featured a single smash burger described on the menu as "Fresh beef blend, American cheese, caramelized onions, shredded lettuce, house made 1,000, on a griddled potato bun." The special was $20.75 each. While the burger was delicious, we felt it was on the small side and could have been larger. The martinis were standard size and on the strong side. The burger does not come with anything at all so we ordered a regular order of fries to share ($7.75) and the order size was more than enough for two of us. While best known for their signature smash burgers, HeyDey also offers cheeseburgers, vegan burger options, crispy fries, chicken sandwiches, wings, and house-made sauces. Bar is limited to beer, wine and martinis. Bottom line: small, friendly, casual downtown Palm Springs eatery known for its smash burgers and martinis. Service was excellent. Other than for disappointment in the small size of the burgers and the fact that any sides were a la carte - we will be back to try other items on the menu - hoping to get Cesar as our server ;-)

Which is a Mexicali Burger topped with melted Jack, Cheddar cheese and crushed bacon mixed with chipotle sauce. Inside the burger are Serrano chiles. Nice and spicy. Plus a Caesar salad. Wifey had the Five Cheese Burger. Jack, Swiss, Mozzarella, Cheddar and American cheese. She also had the shoe string Cajun spiced fries instead of steak fries. They were yummy. I had some sort of IPA beer as well. Yum. Service was spectacular, shout out to Jesus. Place was clean including the bathrooms. We always enjoy coming to this location. You can't go wrong with burgers and beer.

Steak fries are good with a side of nacho sauce. Server kept our drinks topped up. Good experience.

We are trying to explore places we have longed to visit…read more Because we are already at the Loft Hair Studio for hairstyling this morning, I took my husband out for lunch as part of his birthday week. We got to Gastro grind at around 12 or so and saw a bunch of people on the patio and enjoying some really great looking food and brews. The place is really fun inside with list of some very appetizing drinks and a menu that really excited me for all the variety of burger and sandwiches and salads. Joshua gave us a warm welcome and helped us with our questions. I wanted to try the bistro burger without the bun even though I love brioche. He suggested I make the bistro burger into a bowl. This creation comes with a yummy salad of arugula and fresh tomatoes surrounded by at least a half of an avocado so beautifully arranged. Now, if you put caramelized onions on something you have won my heart. The flavor of the burger was already outstanding, but the onions really elevate this dish. I decided to go with the sweet potato fries as my side order. We both had really great fresh iced tea with lemon. Sweet potato fries were really really good with delicate flavor. My husband zeroed in on the Oinker which includes not only a great burger, but pork belly and fig jam. Fig jam is another one of my passions. When he was nearly finished with his burger, I was hoping there would be a bite for me to try so I know what I'm talking about in my review. My brain was saying, I could never order anything, but the bistro burger, but when I tasted the Oinker, I realized that I could go on and explore some more of these amazing meals because one is just as great as the other. The piece de resistance, for his happiness was the perfect onion rings. You know when onion rings are authentic and made on the spott. He's still talking about the onion rings and he'll probably talk about them for days. I also wanted to bring home something nice for my son who's in school and so we ordered an ABC sandwich which has pork belly and other delights. I'm sure he's going to like this because he's a foodie as well. The ABC has avocado, bacon, cheese, braised pork belly, mozzarella, tomato, arugula, on a grilled sourdough bread. We usually have differences of opinion on our foodie tours but today, I sat in shock as my tough reviewer husband raved on and on about this wonderful lunch. I hope that you will give the sweet little gem in Palm Desert some love and experience some of the amazing food that they produce. It will take us a while to work our way through this crazy menu we admire so much. They are on the north side of CA - 111 and there is plenty of parking.

Disclaimer, this review will be based off a dining in experience on Aug 8th…read more The restaurant was a bit warm as we arrived, we almost debated leaving! Given the weather, we decided to still give it a shot since this location was on our must try list. We were greeted immediately by friendly staff who offered us to seat anywhere we'd like. Cold beer on summer special ($5-$6) fixed my partner back up for a moment until we felt the AC kick back on. lol. We had the Bistro Burger with Truffle Fries and the Oinker with Tater Tots. I was excited to try the Oinker after seeing they had fresh pork belly posted on their instagram that day. The Bistro was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the Oinker after trying my partner's Bistro burger. The combination of ingredients felt dry, the burger wasn't as hot, and I realized there was no cheese in this either. What's a burger without cheese? :( I wish the server forewarned me! Maybe a grilled onion would also be better suited? I also asked for a side of their lemon aioli for my fries, and ended up adding this to my burger to add some extra sauce. The tater tots and fries were perfectly crisp. And I usually don't finish my fries, but we ate every last bite of these plates. Overall, great! I would return to try more of their various burger offerings.

I'm always up for trying out new places in the valley, however, our experience was a little disappointing. The food and drinks were decent, but the customer service was DISAPPOINTING! It started at the front--no smile or acknowledgment from the hostess. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes and made eye contact with multiple servers, yet no one offered drinks or checked on us. The place wasn't even packed or busy. We were seated right by the bar, so it was hard to miss us. Thankfully, the manager eventually approached us, and service improved from there. We stayed a bit longer to check out the live band, which was good. Overall, the place has potential, but customer service--especially the initial greeting or the hostess --NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!

We waited and repeatedly tried to get someone's attention while watching staff standing around talking amongst themselves and answering phone calls.

After waiting and trying to get someone's attention with no luck, we finally decided to get up and leave. We came excited to enjoy the rooftop, have dinner, and spend our evening there, but unfortunately we never even got the opportunity to order. Really disappointing service and definitely not the experience we expected.
