At GRILL-A-BURGER, Palm Desert, we have a passion for hamburgers. We make our trendsetting burgers the old-fashioned way using only the finest and freshest ingredients available. Our hand crafted, grilled-to-order, moist and juicy patties are made daily from fresh (never frozen) 100% all-natural USDA Inspected Choice Beef, free of artificial hormones, antibiotics, and other things that don't belong in hamburgers. And we have nice buns, too! They are freshly baked daily at a local bakery. Buns are slightly toasted and garnished with garden crisp lettuce, hand-sliced red onion, vine-ripened tomato and sliced kosher pickles. Our homemade French fries are never frozen and are only made with fresh Idaho Russet potatoes that are hand cut, double-fried and lightly salted without any processing steps in between. And we change our zero trans fat oil every day! Clean oil = crisp, great-tasting fries! Our authentic soda fountain milkshakes and malts are hand-dipped, hand spun and made with premium vanilla bean ice cream, whole milk and natural flavorings. All served in a place that considers our environment by using food packaging that is all natural and made from annually renewable resources by buying from as many local vendors as possible and, of course, by using energy efficient equipment and recycling. We hope this is everything that you have been looking for in a burger place and MORE! Again, welcome and enjoy!

We went to Grill-a-burger for lunch. The menus are updated and the service remains attentive. I had grilled avocado slices and a great blue cheese burger and my wife had a gluten free burger (including gluten free bun) and fries. The burgers are well prepared. The food was fresh and tasty. Cost was modest for great burgers. We will be back.

We dined at Mamma Gina’s recently on a trip to Palm Desert. Since we had dined at its wonderful sister restaurant in Italy, it was a no brainer for us to dine at the U.S. based restaurant. One diner in our party has food allergies, however, so finding something suitable here was not an easy feat. The gluten free calamari was delicious (coated with cornmeal) but no sauce would work b/c of dairy allergies. The chopped salad was okay. Gluten free pasta wasn’t an option either b/c we were told that every single pasta sauce on the menu contains dairy. Our recommendation is to offer at least one allergen-friendly sauce - perhaps marinara. Our server didn’t seem interested in servicing our friend with allergies so he recommended dishes that sounded undesirable or rather bland. Our friend ordered the branzino but really wanted pasta so she was clearly disappointed. Our entree choices were good but not fabulous. We’d definitely try some of the other dishes we were considering if we were ever to dine here again. Management did make an effort to stop by and check in with us which was appreciated but we did not care for our server, which impacted the overall enjoyment of our meal.

I am it feels and tastes like they just caught and made my fish . I had the salmon and it was too die for . The sides are big enough for two people to share . Make reservations in advance and sit outside

Wonderful breakfast again here, for our third visit. They have a wide, inventive menu. Daughter had churro waffle which she said was great, I had a wonderful omelette and wife had eggs Benedict. Everything was great. Would for sure go back.

The valley's favorite since 1992. Offering Fresh California Cuisine with all natural and antibiotic free meats, chicken and pork, wild or sustainable seafood and fresh/local produce whenever possible. We offer USDA PRIME USDA Black Angus Steaks. All of our sauces, desserts and dressings are made in-house. Our Motto: DINE LOCAL. EAT FRESH! Born out of our love of food and hospitality, Kaiser Grille has been synonymous with quality and value for over twenty years in the Coachella Valley. Founded by Kaiser Morcus in 1992, Kaiser Grille quickly became a hotspot for locals and visitors alike. After a ten year hibernation in Palm Desert, his son, Eric is taking the helm in his new restaurant. We are located at the former Chop House location in Palm Desert. Fresh from a remodel and menu change, we are located just a few blocks away from where it all began over twenty years ago. Yet, as we all get better with age, we hope that this time of rest has given us more passion and inspiration to provide more enjoyment for your dining experience.
We were looking forward to going since it has such a high rating on TripAdvisor. We arrived at 5:30 pm and there was room in the lounge so we ate there and ordered off the Happy Menu. The margarita was very good and just the way I like it. My husband said his beer was fine. We had the calamari and order this in many restaurants as we enjoyed it so much during a trip to Greece. This calamari was very pale, lacked crispness and a bit rubbery. I ordered the coconut shrimp and while the shrimp were tasty (a little over crisp I thought), the rice had a nice ginger flavour but was dry. My husband had the fish and chips and the fish certainly appeared to be frozen and then deep fried. To me the food was one notch above fast food. Not much was hand made so we were disappointed. The Happy Hour menu is certainly affordable but IF I went back I’d try the restaurant and hopefully have a better food experience.

Ask about our happy hour and incredible tequila selection. Happy Hour is all day, every day for the summer. Bar area and patio.
My husband and I enjoyed dinner at this lively restaurant. Upon arriving (5:15 p.m.) on Saturday night, it wasn't that busy, and they almost turned us away. They did seat us and the crowd picked up quickly. The service was good, with the food arriving a little slow. I was surprised and the waiter said they had a big "catering" order and the kitchen was a little backed up. We shared the chicken fajitas and had two margaritas each! Enjoyed it all. One negative comment, the hostess had on a wrap around dress that crossed in the front (flimsy fabric), and although she had a nice figure - no bra and maybe no panties, and I really didn't need to see that in a family restaurant.

This is our all time favorite restaurant when we visit the Palm Springs area. The food is out standing and always properly prepared. Great wine list and reasonable pricing on most wine. Their cellar does have Screaming Eagle at $3600 bottle. First time I have seen that brand on a wine list. Their Beet Salad and San Francisco Style Cioppino are great choices. Make sure to get reservations. Fine dining at reasonable prices

We have eaten in this restaurant many time and are never disappointed. The food is fresh and the quality excellent. The restaurant is spotless and service is very good. If you want quiche, get there early since they sell out daily. For dinner, get a reservation regardless of the day of the week.

My husband and I have eaten here 1 or 2 times before and really liked it. We took visiting family for breakfast and they loved it! Our servings were large and the food is great. Everyone got different dishes and none were disappointing.
This is my new favorite neighborhood eatery.

Very nice restaurant that made Valentine's Day special. On the very expensive side but good for special days. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Filling and clearing as the experience went along. Food was good. Atmosphere was great (decorated for that day). Parking easy and establishment located along major highway. We had a wonderful time with special memories.
