Great for happy hour

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

What could be better than Drag Bingo on Monday night? We arrived early, and the staff gave us the lowdown and what to expect! Friendly staff and accommodating. Bingo was the bonus and kept everyone entertained while meals and drinks were served. I enjoyed the Monday night chicken special and my wife had the loaded soup. I was lucky enough to wine bingo twice so desserts were on the house. Overall, a fun spot for visitors and locals alike. Would make a return trip.

We have always loved King’s Highway and the scene at the Ace. Renovations going on now walled off access to the pool bar and Amigos is being redone. No Photo Booth anymore. The place was dead, empty, food was just okay. The server didn’t offer us a second round of drinks at any point and was largely inattentive. The manager did pop by once to ask if all was okay but we had just been sitting around for so long we didn’t even bother, we just wanted to go. There were 6 of us and they added an automatic service charge which maybe explains the inattentive service, the tip was guaranteed. They also charge a 3% fee on top. Probably won’t go back which is sad because we have been going there since they opened.

There was a live musician who was HORRIBLE. Will also say they seemed incredulous that we’d made a dinner reservation for the patio during the live musician, even though they advertise it. They didn’t have any of the beer on the beer menu, and I they also gave us a menu that said outdoor patio food (where we were seated) from 3-10pm (our reservation was for 6:45pm), and they said they weren’t serving any of that food. The food we did eat was some great (popcorn chicken and burger), some good (baked chicken, green beans, fries), some mediocre (steak), and some bad (tater tots). Found this place on a Time Out Top 18 in Palm Springs, so surprised it was so inconsistent.

Sunday’s Bottomless Fried Chicken dinner is a great deal. The meal is very generous with cornbread, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy and all the fried chicken you want. Service was excellent and quick. We were served and before even finishing the big portion of fried chicken were offered more. The variety of pieces included both white and dark meat and it was very good. We would definitely go again and hope they continue the bottomless chicken dinners!
