John's Place - Twentynine Palms

Ordered dinner for pick-up on Friday, New Years Eve. Website looks good but according to the employees was not up to date. Tried to order Friday special smoked beef brisket.. but the specials online were not valid. The drive thru experience was freaky: windows were darkly tinted so the restaurant looked closed. Drive thru menu board was dark and empty. Exterior lighting was limited. We thought the whole place was shuttered! Food was hit miss. Omelette was good, but missing the side of toast. BLT sandwich was OK, fish chips were not good. Soup of the day was clam chowder, was super salty and gelatinous. Had to pay extra for some items but were not told that over the phone when ordering. All the employees were very friendly including the one who took our order over the phone, and the one at the drive-thru window. They may have been the same person but not sure. Maybe it was because it was NYE and near closing time, and the employees were getting ready to go party, so our experience was not typical, but sadly I can't recommend this place.

Nice and clean. Great breakfast spot on a Sunday morning. Machaca and eggs, biscuits and gravy, house special omelet, chorizo and eggs, home fries, hashbrowns, coffee. All hot and tasty. The salsa is homemade and has a nice kick!!

Warm staff. Good tasty breakfast. Nice diner feel. Our favourite place for breakfast in 29 palms when we visited Joshua tree national park.

We really enjoyed the chicken fried steak and eggs. The eggs were cooked perfect the gravy is good the restaurant is very clean.

This place might be our regular go-to whenever we visit Joshua Tree. My friends and I were visiting for the day and just stopped here to grab some lunch and we loved it. Everything tasted fresh with generous portions to get the most bang for your buck. Very divey-style burger place, but sometimes that's what you want on a road trip right? Exactly. We really like the zucchini fries. Other places we've tried those at haven't been good, usually very soggy. But John's zucchini fries were crisp and fresh and delicious. Definitely stopping by here again the next time we're driving thru town.
