John's - Palm Desert

We were staying nearly next-door, and this place is walkable. The first time I went there. I got the fruit salad and I thought it was absolutely delicious. I liked it so much. I went back two nights later, and the fruit salad was hard as a rock. So I gave one night five stars and one night two stars that’s the four star rating. It was a very quiet place which for us was wonderful. We enjoyed the taco a lot. It was unusually made, but very tasty. Service is you order at the counter and it is brought to you. All in all, we were particularly glad that it was close by and quiet

I have been to this restaurant in Palm Desert about ten times in the last year, great club sandwiches. You order your food from the counter, no big deal, no tipping required. They all work very hard and are very kind. Today as I was ordering, a roach crawled across the counter, a German roach, the ones that spread...... I told the person taking the orders and it was like no big deal. Not sure if she understood me but she got my point. I flcked the roach back towards paying customers just to give them a heads up. Management, you have a very nice restaurant. Don't let it go to hell and become unsanitary. Rats and roaches are a battle alll restaurants face but you must fight them. Don't get comfortable with this disgusting issue.

John's really does everything well, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Without the pretention. Never been disappointed.

If you're looking for reasonably priced, fresh, fast and unpretentious food in Palm Desert THIS is the place. Really good French fries, an excellent Greek salad with freshly grilled chicken breast, good hamburgers with very fresh lettuce and tomato too. Very friendly staff too. This is where the locals eat. Near the Holiday Inn Express and Best Western and across the street from the Embassy Suites all within EASY walking distance.

The positives include good service and attractive restaurant. But the food leaves something to be desired. My breakfast was at best mediocre, and the bacon was less than that.
