10. Sizzler

Sizzler is home to U.S.D.A Choice hand-cut steaks, seafood, including fresh, sustainable Salmon, all complimented by our Unlimited Craft Salad Bar.
Reviewed By Sarah W
We enjoy Sizzler, primarily for the salad bar as our meal. We are not heavy eaters, so the variety of creative salads, the soups, and the chicken wings are great. But not here. The wings were all crust and there were few salads to choose from. There were two unidentifiable dessert choices plus soft serve. Plates were available only from the server who did not appear often. They are trying hard, but this location is not up to Sizzler standards. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, Sarah. We're sorry to see that you had an unsatisfactory visit with us, here at our 81-760 Hwy 111 location. Our expectations are for every meal to be perfect and every dining experience to be great, so when we hear that this falls short we are not happy with ourselves. We appreciate you letting us about your experiences so that we can improve moving forward and would appreciate it if you could send an email to [email protected] so we can make this up to you. We hope to see you again in the near future so we can provide you with a 5-star steak. -Your Local Indio Sizzler Team

This was one of the few times that I could actually enjoy the flavor of the clams in the clam chowder. More clams than other stuff. The service was great, friendly, and quick.Enjoyed the view of the cliffs and the wonderful food.
8. Big Rock Pub

Big Rock Pub in Indio California, the valley's newest local hotspot with a blend of classic rock and classic cuisine.
Reviewed By robertf381
We have been to Big Rock on multiple occasions and have always enjoyed the food, music and ambiance. The food service could be a little better but it does get busy and the staff tries. The food menu is somewhat limited in scope but what they do offer is great! Big Rock is part of a golf course (which is a very nice 18 Hokes) and is not what you would expect of a golf venue! They have a lot of live music events and when you come into the dining room you will understand why. A must see!

Six friends at Fantasy Springs Hotel/Casino for a rock concert decided to try their high end restaurant, The Bistro. We loved it and will be back. Service was excellent, ambiance enjoyable and, oh the food! For appetizers we shared baked oysters, sashimi platter, crispy pork belly, shrimp cocktail, then salads of tomatoes and mozzarella, iceberg wedge. Every appetizer dish rocked.For our main courses we shared really great lamb chops, dry aged pork rib, Scottish salmon, and bone-in rib eye, plus sides of gratin potatoes, sauteed asparagus, and sauteed mushrooms and onions.The food was top quality, all cooked to perfection as ordered. We paired all our eats with our own wines and wine service was also first class. So we have a new fav place to eat in the desert.Thank you for the great review!We love making new friends and having them become part of the Bistro family. Next time you are in please let me know so that I may say âHiâ.Terry
6. The Fresh Grill Buffet at Fantasy Springs

Reviewed By mrk4th
I usually have low expectations for a buffet, especially one costing $19.99 ($5 more on weekends), which includes your non-alcoholic drink. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a ridiculously large variety, but plenty of fresh fruit and salad fixins was very welcomed. A carve to order turkey and roast beef station was very nice, supported by a pasta station and lots of regional (Mexican, Italian) choices, replenished frequently. Desserts were good, with a massive chocolate fountain as the star. Our server Rosie was great, keeping our soft drinks replenished and finding hot sauce for us. Our used dishes were cleared quickly. This is one of the few buffets that I would recommend.

At the hotel's suggestion, we decided to have dinner at Sloan's. Our waitress was Esmeralda and she was WONDERFUL! She seated us quickly, and was so friendly and patience with our questions. We ordered cocktails and fried zucchini which was yummy for an appetizer. For entrees, I ordered the grilled salmon and my husband ordered the baked salmon. Both orders were delicious. The sides were also fresh and tasty. We were so impressed with the quality and abundance of food for such a reasonable price! Plus, Esmeralda was a delight!

Who would have thought that you could get a fantastci Vegan Cheeseburger at a western tavern in Indio??? I am not sure what type of a imitation burger was used, but it was really good. The burger also came with mushrooms and onions. Now if you are coming for a variety of Vegan food, look elsewhere as this is pretty much Tavern fodd but fresh and cooked really well.This is a pretty unique place with the log structure and saddles, yes saddles, that are used for some of the stools. Very friendly atmosphere and our server, Patti, was fantastic!!!

My wife and I had breakfast at Pom during a recent stay over at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio California. This restaurant is clean and airy with plenty of windows looking out at the resorts pool and tall ceilings. They also have a full service, horseshoe-shaped bar. Our breakfast was delicious and served quickly. I can recommend the corned beef hash and eggs. The staff are friendly and attentive. During our next visit to Fantasy Springs, we will definitely have to check out the lunch or dinner offerings.

Things were a bit hectic today. Part of order was missing and no split checks. Some didn't like the chipotle hollandaise sauce but I enjoyed the crab cakes. Ice tea is flavored. Mimosas and bloody Mary's are expensive and nothing special. Stuffed dates are very pricey but love the side salad with dates. There us live music. Have enjoyed it more on other occassions.Hello Ms. Sue, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that part of your order was missing and would like to know if we addressed this issue for you during your visit. With Mother's Day being one of the busiest days of the year, if not the busiest, we do understand that things may sometimes become hectic especially for our kitchen. It is also for this reason that we do not offer separate checks on these busy holidays although we do our best to accomodate this request even for large groups throughout the season. Please note that we do have daily drink specials in which you can get your mimosa at $5 instead of our regular $8 price and 50% off all bottles of wine, etc. We want you to enjoy your visit every single time and would love for you to return soon with a reservation taken by management so that we can make up for your less than excellent experience. Please feel free to call us at 760-775-0902 as we would love to speak to you so that we can make things right.We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. -A. M.
