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

Main seating area was actually closed, which we were not made aware of prior. Upon arrival we were directed through the bar next door and out to the pool patio of the hotel. We expected indoor dining in a restaurant, but we’re seated and served by the pool bar at a picnic table. Food was fine. Service was fine.

We thought that the Chopped Salad should have had more of the “ other” veggies (there were only TWO cherry tomatoes) and a roll or slice of bread would be nice to serve with it.

This was truly a horrendous experience. We came to grab dinner before a concert. I made a reservation through Open Table. When we arrived, the host seemed to game plan where we were going to sit out loud while we stood there for 5 minutes staring at him. The restaurant was maybe 60-70% full. We ordered drinks and dinner right away- our server didn’t have much pep in her step. She brought my husbands beer and for some reason my Diet Coke took an extra 5-10 mins. We waited for another 45 minutes without any follow up from our server on where our food was or if we’d like another drink. When we were finally able to talk to her- we asked her to please hurry our food as we were going to be late to our show. My husband ordered a coke and I ordered another Diet Coke and I asked her to bring the bill with our food as soon as it was available. All she was able to tell me is that they were “backed up” and that the restaurant served the entire resort. About 5 mins later she comes back- with another beer for my husband (he ordered a Coke) and a bill for two beers. When we inquired about our food, she responded with “well you asked for the bill, so I cancelled your food.” She clearly didn’t understand the assignment, nor did she take 1 minute to clarify with me before she cavalierly cancelled the food order we had been waiting for for an hour. We threw cash on the table and left- hungry and late. This place is mismanaged- every table around us was beyond annoyed and frustrated. Let’s get it together guys!

The outdoor pool patio at King's Highway is delightful. The guests were winding down from the day, so things were quiet. It was a bit cool in the shade, but there were heat lamps to keep us warm. We started with the Picante Amante cocktail which is essentially a spicy margarita - and SO GOOD!!! The beer battered onion rings are so crispy and the side dip is delicious. And my husband and I both got the steak, which was really tender. We asked for it medium rare and it was more medium than rare. But still, we happily ate it up. There were adult parties dining together as well as families finishing out their day with a nice dinner. We are happy to have another great dining option in Palm Springs!

The food was a mixed experience—charred broccoli great! Popcorn chicken good! Caesar salad was sadly heavily laden with a very salty dressing. For the price it is tough to reconcile as the service was also subpar. Our server was very pleasant but it was difficult to track them down, even in a single room diner. We wished to order another drink halfway through dinner but we couldn’t get their attention until we had pushed our finished plates to the edge of the table. At that point we felt it wasn’t worth it to wait longer and decided to get the check. We have loved meals at King’s Highway before so it was disappointing to leave feeling like for the money we’d elect to go elsewhere next time.

Not busy at 6:00 so no big deal manager could not find Open Table reservation. Dinner menu did not have all items listed online. They were out of 2 appetizers, one of which we were really hungry for. We tried the popcorn chicken app instead and would have been better off with fast food chicken nuggets—no flavor. Food is over priced for the quality. Service was slow and people who came in well after us were served their food before us. Only two of us dining. Really don’t get the hype for the restaurant. We got to look at two dirty parking cones under the counter while eating. Not sure I would recommend. May be a better breakfast or lunch place but dinner was majorly lacking. People were noticeably irritated for having to wait to be seated when I could overhear that they also had reservations—hostess was on phone and did not acknowledge them or call over the manager to assist in seating people. May have been an off night but did not leave with a good impression.

We made this reservation to see an artist play but we’re never told that it was canceled. The food was pretty good but I would not recommend the popcorn chicken as it tasted chewy and was more like a frozen item re heated than something fresh tasty.
