Good for groups

King’s Highway is our desert diner, and celebrates the ineffable, bohemian spirit of the wide open West. Our seasonal menu is sourced from independent farmers spread across the Coachella Valley and Southern California. We reinvented an old Denny’s restaurant to celebrate its retro style and add fresh, modern updates. During renovations we unearthed a terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and re-covered the booths in saddle leather. We’re open all day, every day. The coffee’s hot and the beer is cold. Our popular dishes include ricotta pancakes, chopped salad and short rib ragu.

**Please note that King's Highway operates on a "first come first served" basis between 7 am & 5 pm except for parties of 10 or more

We love King’s Highway. The food is superb - we’re talking the best ingredients and expertly prepared. The Harvest Salad is something special. I would appreciate more vegetarian options. Bella Da Ball makes BINGO fun and is another great reason to dine out on Monday nights in Palm Springs.As long as the food is delicious, and BDB calls BINGO. We’ll continue enjoying Monday nights at King’s Highway!

We arrived and were seated promptly. It was a little loud. I could not hear the waiter very well and I had to ask him to repeat himself. We ordered drinks and onion rings. My old fashioned was mediocre. I drank it, but it was not what I expected. I ordered the hatch chili mac and cheese and it had brisket on top of it with a sauce that tasted very sweet. Not my cup of tea. My wife ordered the loaded potato corn chowder and the potatoes were not fully cooked in the soup. The service was great; everything else was okay. We tried this place on a friend’s recommendation. Maybe breakfast would have been a better experience.

It’s always a delight at the Kings Highway. Staff is always really cool. The Amigo room is under construction, so we hope that 70’s retro feel doesn’t change. Also nice to sit and have a beer or cocktail by the pool

Was disappointed with our experience on Christmas Day Dinner. Starting with arrival and staff ignoring us as we stood next to them to check in for our reservation. After being seated for 10 minutes we were finally greeted by a server, then notified that the bar was closed and which they did not notified in advance when making reservations, but we still presented with a cocktail menu. They only offered beer and wine service during dinner. Our pre-fix entree came out cold and well done. No apology was extended by our server. Pork chop was over cooked, tough and served warm. Desert was never brought out for pre-fix, we had to remind our server and when it was brought, it was cold. This seemed to be the theme for the night. The Staff seemed more concerned with leaving and dropping our check(as a server was overheard saying, did you drop their check yet) instead of making sure our experience was a great one. I am a big fan of the hotel and coming for breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately dinner missed all the marks of making a great holiday experience. At least the live music offset the dining experience.
