Amazing venue for live music ! Especially loved Cash'd Out band! Particular shout out to Beth and Robyn for the awesome customer service! Great for lunch , but super fun for music ! Highly recommended!

Svante Jerling

After whatever amazing main you choose, do not forget to chase it with a berry cobbler cake under a large dollop of ice cream .

Staff Picks

Get a table with a view of the band and order something that they've grilled on their outdoor mesquite fire: pulled pork , ribs , tri-tip. Finish it off with a side of mac and cheese and a margarita .

Bill Hendrix

fun place right outside the "historical" district. Good food--I had the catfish sandwich which was quite good with a nice kick to it (more blackened/fried that just fried). Attentive service as well

Marie La Rue

Near legendary live music venue in the desert . Must stop when visiting the area to catch a show or have a meal. Reservations are phone only. Eclectic crowd.

Jenn Y

Legendary local roadhouse with great BBQ and great live music . On weekends check if there's a show - it sometimes get booked out well in advance.

Christina

Make reservations in advance BBQ / kale salad and fries are ???????? everything is pretty much good here w/ amazing shows and regular house bands like The Sunday Band and The Shadow Mountain band

Sabina B.

Great food, strong drinks , and most of all, bluegrass/country/folk live music (their regular band is awesome, go ahead and square dance away). Check out Pioneer Town out back while you wait.

LAist

At night, it's a haven for concerts with some big name acts. Vampire Weekend, Grizzly Bear and Modest Mouse have graced the small stage with their presence. Read more

Pappy & Harriet's go and do not miss the "Chili ". Seriously this is the best I've ever had. Don't forget the Mac' Cheese either. Funky and fun and the drinks are huge

Cecelia English

Usually, you do not need a reservation during the dead of summer. In the winter, make reservations well in advance for the weekend if you want to be seated so that you may see the band while you eat.

Svante Jerling

Make sure you come on a night when there is a band playing. And make sure you ask for a cobbler pie ...perfect stop after a sunset in Joshua tree .

Allison Ramirez

Good beer , great conversation. Visited yesterday for the first time from LA and the vibe was great. Can't wait to go back.

George Miller

Amazing place! Everything, and more, that you'd ever want from a bbq/mexican/music spot in the desert - loved it.The ribs were pretty great also

Vic Zaud

Catfish sandwich and a lemonade with Jack is always nice. Cheesy fries aren't overly cheesy and include bacon and onions - like an awesome baked potato loaded!

musedandamused

This is the absolute coolest place there is in the world. The best drinks, service, and music .
