    Charming atmosphere on both patios. We set outside with our two Dalmatian and ordered some adult beverages and “The Big Kahuna.” Delicious foods, drinks were good. I would highly recommend Johnny’s Pink Cucumber—the best out of the three drinks I tried. Customer service was great and friendly. We ended up staying for awhile because we made friends with several other tables, too! If you like Champaign, $5 bottomless.

    My favorite, melt in your mouth, juicy burger in Palm Springs. The warm brioche bun, delicious melted cheese, toppings, sauces, and don’t even get me started on the fries, just perfect. The staff are wonderful, the views are the best in town, mountains, palm trees and downtown. The owner is super friendly, couldn’t ask for more.

    The food was fine, drinks were good. But the customer service was bad (probably because they were short staffed?!?), we asked them to turn on the heater which was out of gas for the last 40 minutes, they said ok, and never came to turn it on!! And asked for ketchup and took sooo long and I eventually stood up and took one from another empty table!!!

    Great dinner-food and friendly/fast service. The second floor outside dining was fun to people watch but they also have inside dinning. We had the Napoletana Mac & Cheese and the Shrimp Risotto both were delicious!!!’

    We sat down here for a late lunch on a Friday. The atmosphere was pretty good on the patio. Our server was friendly and quick. Beer was great. I ordered the bongo burger it was pretty good, cooked nicely and tasted decent. It took over 40 minutes for the food to come. I noticed that my side fries were not seasoned but my wife's fries were seasoned. Overall it was alright but not great.

    Great lunch spot! Upstairs, indoor and outdoor seating. (Elevator around back) My husband and I both got the BBQ bacon burger on the brioche bun and it was very tasty! I’m pregnant and asked for a virgin drink and they said they could make anything on the menu for me, I got a virgin pina colada also very yummy. My husband ordered a heat wave amber ale which he really enjoyed. (It was made by a local brewery which happened to be right down stairs from Bongo Johnny’s! Great service, got our order fast. An all around good spot!

    Hadn't been there for a while. Mostly virus issues. But went there the other night for my birthday. I was very surprised they have definitely not disappeared. While most places aren't doing well Bongo Johnny's is better than ever. The service was incredible. The food consistently good. The staff was enthusiastic not missing a beat.

    Great atmosphere inside or out! We sat outside and it was cool so they put a heater next to us, thanks! I had the Cajun Mac and Cheese, OMG, so good! Let me not forget the fine selection of beers and wines! I highly recommend Bongo Johnny's!

    I was really impressed with the menu selection. I ended up ordering the daily special BBQ baby back ribs. They were cook to perfection. They fell off the bone perfectly. My two friends enjoyed their meals as well. The server was great. A very lively crowd. We had a really nice time all and all.

    Sooo good! My husband and I ate here twice on our trip to PS. The portions are MORE than enough and delicious. The staff was so so so friendly and prompt with their service. Definitely recommend!

    Victor was the best EVER!!! Service was amazing. Victor was the kindest. Victor had 14 woman to please and he pleased us all. Didn’t even need foreplay

    Always above AND beyond service. Delicious food. Amazing service. It’s why we alway come back! Glasses kept full! Bottomless mimosas are the realest here than anywhere. Big shout out to our amazing server who kept tabs with us throughout the time we were here. I believe his name was Alec, thank you Alec!

    Sat on the back patio on a Sunday afternoon. The service was quick and super friendly, all of the staff working were great. I ordered the gourmet fries with garlic and cilantro, along with the cheesy quesadilla with beef. My husband had the egg salad and tuna salad. Portions were good, prices very reasonable and everything was super delish. Would definitely return when we’re back in the area.

    It was a great experience eating here. The shrimp cocktail tostadas were delicious. The children enjoyed their cheeseburger sliders and their dad's cheeseburger was delicious as well. The meat had a good taste and texture. Also, the Cadillac Margarita was made to perfection; so good! Thank you.

  • 4/5 Stephanie N. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly and attentive staff, they’re a 5/5. Food was more of a 4/5, solid food that I would eat again but no go out of my way to get. The burger was decent and cooked well, I got the upgraded truffle Parmesan fries which I thought could have been more seasoned but they were good. French onion soup was ok but I probably wouldn’t get that again.

    Victor & Erica are absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a reservation and there was a mixup when we got to the restaurant. They both were so helpful in getting everything corrected and taken care of. Victor was the best and made sure our bottomless mimosas stayed full, and our time there was fantastic. We will tell EVERYONE we know to visit when they come to Palm Springs.

    Good food but not sure if it’s worth it. We were told a 30 minute wait and it turned to an hour and a half. We did ask at the 45 minute mark and they told us we’d be next and sadly waited some more. Our waiter seem rushed. I know it was busy but I felt like he rushed us to get our orders. They did forget a few items that we ordered but since it tool forever to get our food we decided to cancel them because we were just over it. Glad I tried it but not going back ever. Bring a book for the long wait

    Yea, not too bad. Fun to sit on the patio and overlook the street and people watch. The food was okay. Nothing to write home about but at the same time, it was fine… I had the chicken Alfredo. It was actually the best thing out of our group. Prices were very affordable.

    Great music! Great service! Just what we were looking for! The Dreamsicle cocktail (on the rocks) was fabulous!! I had the club sandwich and added avocado and my husband ordered the egg salad sandwich. Both were on toasted bread and exactly what we wanted on a hot morning after golfing.

    I ordered a Greek salad that had and olive with a pit in it that I bit into and chipped my front tooth. I understand these things happen and it was not intentional Howeve, the service was ridiculously bad. Granted it was Christmas Eve but there was a very light crowd and a lot of staff working. Our waiter completely sucked, was nowhere to be found the majority of the time we were there, and clearly did not want to be at work. When he finally came to the table after I went and complained to the bus boy, he acted like he did me a favor by removing the mostly uneaten salad from the bill. We sat on the patio and the atmosphere was very nice out there and my friend had a burger and fries and that were delicious. As for me, no thanks. Will never eat here again.

    Just ok. Had the sirloin. Got what seemed to be a chopped steak. Definitely not the texture of a sirloin. The scalloped potatoes were luke warm at best. The best part of my meal was the Pina colada.

  • 5/5 Jessica E. 1 year ago on Google
    Photo is view from my indoor seating in ac. There’s indoor or outdoor seating and full drink menu. Very busy place but food is super yummy and the staff is kind. The person I ate with could not get much butter which was kinda funny . Like super stingy with the butter 😂 but overall great experience would def recommend. It’s upstairs but there is an elevator. Great views . Cute rainbow elevator

    I read that the Patio is Dog friendly so I wanted to check it out.. Trying to find a host to seat you is like a scavenger hunt. Not one employee acknowledged me. If your going to be dog friendly then you need a host stand OUTSIDE! I was told I had to go back down the stairs and up the other side- hey guys maybe mention the elevator? It's useful if you have an older dog. I was sat next to a bucket of dirty mop water -that my dog tried to drink by the way. I ordered the French onion soup that was my first mistake. I then ordered the French dip it came Literally 1 minute later with nasty dry overcooked lunch meat, slightly moldy tasting bread and undercooked fries. The Manager agreed it looked unappetizing and offered to replace it. I ordered chicken strips and asked for them crispy since the fries were barely cooked. I got chicken strips and fries- which I didn't want- I just wanted the chicken strip appetizer, the Manager should know to clarify if you want the app or meal. I waited 15 minutes for the chicken strips and the fries I didn't order were undercooked again. The busser took away my cup of soup without even asking if I was done. My server Jim was the only saving grace he was great, everyone else seemed discombobulated. So anyway spent 40$ on a below average bloody Mary and two chicken strips. The patio was wet and cold because it had just been mopped. To say this was disappointing is a massive understatement! Don't waste your time or money here. Worst dining experience I've ever had. The whole place had a weird vibe. The staff was off and the music was too loud and sort of weird too.

    Great place for breakfast or lunch. Friendly staff. I enjoy sitting out on the back patio...it is quieter than the front patio where they tend to have the music too loud to have a comfortable conversation. Went here for lunch today. Had the turkey ruben along with garlic cilantro fries. YUMMY!! Jennifer is the best server...very attentive and friendly!

  • 5/5 Abraham G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing first time experience! The food was A-1, the service was FANTASTIC, and the vibes were unique. We were given the option of sitting in the front patio or the back patio and we chose the more calm setting being the back patio. Felt like I was sitting somewhere in Manhattan Beach or Hermosa Beach. My wife and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anybody (Especially if you're looking for some good mimosas which as you can tell I didn't take any pictures of- Thats how much of a great time we had!!!!!) Will be back again some time soon!!!!
