King's Highway
King's Highway is a renewed take on the tradition of American peasant food with a desert flavor focused on fresh, artisanal ingredients. We use local and organic fruits and vegetables and sustainably-raised meats whenever we can. Our Amigo Room bar serves classic and creative artisanal cocktails using fresh seasonal juices, hand-picked herbs we grow in our garden, a wide selection of craft beers with an emphasis on local, and a friendly list of great wines in a cool, cavernous space left pretty much the way we found it. There's something going on there almost every night, bringing together a vibrant mix of guests and locals to check out awesome DJs, live bands, comedians and performance artists from the desert, LA and everywhere else. acehotel.com/palmsprings/calendar

"Service was fair; everyone was pleasant but not really attentive. The food was extremely disappointing. The appetizer was good and that’s where it ended. My entrée was prepared hours earlier and wasn’t warm when it came to the table. My spouse’s entrée was overcooked and the sauce had separated. The expediter should have realized it wasn’t appropriate to serve, much less leave the kitchen. Thinking anyone could manage a plate of fries, we ordered a side. They were completely raw and cold. After we complained, the manager didn’t bother to stop by and apologize. I rarely put a restaurant on the “I’ll never go again” list after one visit but King’s Highway managed to get there. I live in Palm Springs and will warn everyone I can."

"We found the service to be just as slow & uncaring as other patrons. After a very warm greeting & seating by the hostess it took 10 minutes for our server to come to our table. Surprisingly our food, hot & cooked to order was served in less than 10 minutes. Our server then joined a group of employees behind the counter. Six of them chatted while we waited for drink refills. The fried chicken was above average. The hamburger was more rare than medium rare as I ordered, but it had absolutely no taste. None! So stick with the fried chicken if you must eat here. And if the manager reads this & other reviews - get a handle on your very unmotivated servers. But keep the tall hostess, she's the only one who evinced any friendliness."

"The best coffee ever. Chilaquiles are so good. The fruit plate is served sweetened with honey. Meals are pricey, but you get some serious delicious diner food. Special requests handled with no problem for me so I could keep gluten free."

"We have visited this restaurant a few times before and this time was a real disappointment. We were a party of 6 and they refused to do separate checks for the 3 couples. 18% gratuity was added to the bill (calculated to include the tax in the total). Service was casual and second rate. The food was good but average and the value was not there. We won't be rushing back."

"Completely uninterested servers with a "couldn't-be-bothered with you" attitude make dining at this hipster joint not so hip...just annoying. The food is alright, but uninspired. The only saving grace is that prices are quite fair for very expensive Palm Springs. Don't expect much except sloppy servers and sloppy sandwiches."

"We've been wanting to try this place - a converted Denny's attached to the uber-hip Ace Hotel in Palm Springs - for some time now, and it generally lives up to its billing. The menu is sort of a modern take on traditional roadside diner offerings with a number of favorites you will recognize, slightly updated for today's tastes. Service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was subdued. We were there on a Friday night, so I was a bit surprised that the place wasn't really hopping; it is high season in the Desert after all. But it was also early and the adjacent bar (where you can get full menu service, BTW) seemed to be well on its way to having a successful evening when we left. We will be back to try breakfast soon."

"We enjoyed it. Our main waiter was ok and we didn't see him much, however there was another guy helping us who was a food runner or something that made up for whatever the main server was lacking. They were good about refilling our water which was cool. The food was tasty but perhaps my expectations were too high because the restaurant came highly recommended. The interior design is a high point, the food is good... King's Highway is solid but fell short of great for our group last night. Prices seem appropriate. We may go again."

"Inventive menu, very cool setting, fun place. King's Highway is an updated hipster (but not too cool for regular folk) take on a classic diner. The place is great, the menu healthy but tasty, and very attentive service. Highly recommended for lunch or breakfast."

"Nice place. Stopped while out for a ride for a big sunday meal. We ordered the soup of the day (bean and andouille), BBQ pork sloppy joe, date shake, and bloody mary. Bloody was spicy, light pour & with limited goodies considering the price. Date shake was tasty, the ice cream they use is excellent, but for the price Sheilds in Indio, even with their supersweet take on shakes, is a better buy. The BBQ Joe lived up to its name, it was a mess! The promised onion rings turned out to be one ring lost in the sea of pork. The roll was light and fluffy but the sauce was too sweet heavy goopy, I would have liked more savory. The soub was also very hardy, almost baked bean consistancy but the andouille was more like hot dog than a real sausage."
